The Inside Scoop On Girls

Have you ever said to yourself, “I never know what she wants? I’m not even sure she knows what she wants. One minute she’s fine... then she suddenly isn’t! Is she nuts, or is she just not into me anymore?” Before you decide to give up, there’s a logical answer. Take a look at these two hormone charts.

In women, progesterone, estrogen, and luteinizing hormones (LH) all surge and fall, impacting their moods, appetite, and energy.1 Males, on the other hand, are hormonally consistent from day to day. This isn’t an excuse for girls to be mean, but it might help you understand a little better why your mother, sister, girlfriend, or classmates seem to have twenty different moods in one hour.

The next time you’re trying to figure out what she wants, remember she isn’t on the same “wavelength” as you―literally―so give her a little space. You’ll be glad you did.
