The Firs fishery is a small, intimate 4-acre lake located in Tendring, Clacton On Sea, Essex. It is run as an exclusive 10 man syndicate running from 1st February to 31st November with Decemeber and January as the close season, to give the carp a break.
So, perhaps there is some scientific validity to man periods. A 2004 study suggested men suffer from PMS symptoms as badly as women. The men scored higher than women in depression; lack of arousal; hot flashes and pain, including stomach cramps, back pain, and headaches.
So most of our emotional baggage comes in gushes. There's nothing wrong with men experiencing emotional ups and down, sometimes even as strong as the ones which women experience. They are a very healthy part of their lives. But what really happens is that men don't exhibit their mood swings as much as women do.
