David, it certainly sounds as though PM isn't for you. The info about using hormones as a diagnostic aid can be found, among other places, in the writings of Dr. Ann Vitale (www.avitale.com).
As for being a male with emotions, that is a problem in our screwed-up society. Despite the fact that crying and tears are caused by androgens, or so I've heard, there are only two or three times men are allowed to cry--when kicked in the groin, the death of a close loved one, and maybe when his expensive sports car gets badly damaged by someone else. Even women who claim they want a sensitive guy tend to draw the line at crying. I'm not sure why crying is seen as a sign of weakness when it is largely an uncontrollable response to pain or profound sadness.
