Women are sometimes loath to admit that it's "that time of the month," meaning guys can easily be blindsided by those surprise hormonal tantrums that seem very loosely based in reality.But now there's a new site that can help you. Denver entrepreneur Jordan Eisenberg has recently launched PMSBuddy.com to help you track the cycles of the lady in your life. All you've got to do is enter the date of your partner's last cycle, and the site will automatically send you e-mails to warn you before her future cycles. The warning can come from one to five days in advance.
Eisenberg's site has a pretty smart business model -- he's set up corporate partnerships with 1-800-Flowers and Godiva chocolates, and gives recommendations about how to soothe frayed nerves.
The site has already attracted thousands of visitors from around the world, but be careful -- it's doubtful your lady will react well if she finds out you've been charting her hormonal life, especially if she finds out during those fateful five to seven days.

Oh, please. What's the monthly fee?
I never get cranky during my period and I firmly believe that any woman who does is full of crap and is just using it as an excuse to act like a b@tch!

I for one don't realize I'm overreacting until after the fact. It's definitely not on purpose.

I'm actually quite offended by this. First of all, not all women act out when they're menstruating. It's completely unfair to attribute a natural, biological function to "PMS." I deplore the phrase "PMS," because it serves to make women seem like terrifying, hormone-controlled monsters. Both women and men experience fluctuations of mood throughout the month, actually.
Men, a word of advice: Stop acting so childish. You don't need any software to tell you when to run away from some "angry woman"; you need to "man up" and either deal with it (you know, since you're so "manly") or ask her yourself if there's anything you can do for her that'd make her life a bit easier.
I don't mean to come off as a disgruntled feminist or anything, but this is terribly offensive, and more men need to realize that this is a very sensitive subject that must be approached with maturity. I'm surprised that PMSBuddy has gotten so much press. It simply doesn't deserve it. It's just serving to make us women seem even more fiendish.

What a pathetic comeback, "Marty." I don't even get "PMS."
You must feel like such a big man for exploiting an inevitable occurrence in women. Same with the media. You're conditioned to believe that women naturally go into an "evil bitch" phase, when in reality only *some* women are like this. Hell, even men have mood swings based on their testosterone levels during certain times of the month.
Grow up, already. I'm only 18, but I can already tell that I'm more mature and independent-minded than you will ever be.

Marty, you're a real jerk. Also, I tend to be slightly grumpy during my period, but with blood coming out of places and horrible cramps I think I'm entitled to be a little mean. My husband usually calls me on it, and I apologize. I agree with one of the other posters...man up and face it head on instead of being whiny little boys.

PMS or not, anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die is not human.

Ugh, that old joke? Get some taste.
On the other hand, maybe women *aren't* human. Perhaps we're superhuman. I guess that means we're stronger than you boys, eh? Watch out, Superman. Even you can't bleed for that long and live.

So Arielle, are you saying you're this bitchy ALL the time? (Wow)
