The Inside Scoop On Girls

Have you ever said to yourself, "I never know what they want? I even think they don't even know what they want. One minute they're fine...the next minute they're crazy!" Before you decide to give up, there is a logical answer. Take a look at these two hormone charts.

Female hormones are changing—sometimes almost daily, depending on their cycle. Males, on the other hand, are hormonally level. 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 just 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.
