Something in the Air

Spring has gone. Thank God. It's the most nauseating time of year as everyone pairs up and goo goos and ga-gas at each other. Summer isn't much better, same idea but everyone wears less clothing. However, come this time of year, I've noticed a transformation. As the air gets cooler, so do relationships. When the snow starts falling, or in my case, when the snowbirds start coming, everything goes awry. There's just something in the air at this time of year that turns men (and maybe a few women) into intolerable a**holes. Ok, not all, but a good handful. And as you all know, more than a handful is a waste, right? Irrelevant.
Seriously though, what is it about this time of year that makes men (and those few women) treat their counterparts like a dog with its chew toy. When they're in the mood, there's nothing better. When they're not, we're just something to look at and kick around to make sure we still work. I know a disheartening number of beautiful, smart, sexy, kick ass women (myself included) that are putting up with being some a**hole's chew toy. Since when did it come to this? Obviously this is happening everywhere and quite often as people are writing books about it; one in particular has become a best seller.
So what exactly is it in the air that makes men act like animals and women like inanimate objects? Perhaps it's biological, perhaps it's psychological, or perhaps it's a fluke. Whatever it is, it needs to be nipped in the bud, taken care of, adios muchachos! Easier said than done, right?
