Do men have "hot flashes?"

This is getting ridiculous.

In the last couple of years I've noticed a consistent tendency to "flush" or perspire (particularly around the head) in situations involving babes (and by that I mean babes) and/or babes and money.

Must be some kind of middle-age crisis of some kind.

It's getting so irritating that I can't even try on a pair of $700 Dolce & Gabana jeans in front of an adoring (of course) young sales clerk without my head becoming as soaking wet as the nether regions of a fifty year old woman at a Tom Jones concert.

Yesterday I was buying some art (the decision to buy was made before I laid eyes on the hottie that would handle the transaction) and I actually had to leave the store to cool off once the clerk started her little "yes I can use this idiot's libido against him to make more sales" routine. She starts her not-so-subtle flirt and I'm leaking like a faucet. I mumbled something about how I just finished a work-out at the gym and she levered that into such greater flirtation that I had to dash out the door to make an "important call" while she finished the paper work. Otherwise they would have had to drag out a mop and bucket.

Stupid thing is that I never had this problem in my young not-so-confident days when I was actually scared of women. Maybe that's it - maybe I now have a better understanding just how scary women can be....

Misery loves company. Fess up.

Jesus, what has happened to the real men? Like Hemmingway. Toughin up sweetheart.

Are you currently getting laid? If not, then it your body telling you to stop being ghey.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Do you work out? Have you seen a doc about the change?

Never been in better shape - work out like crazy. Doc just chuckles.

Doc chuckles because he wishes he was getting as much 'exposure' as you are.
