Low T - Get over it
"I have low testostrone, there I said it."
That's the opening line for one of those annoying Androgel commercials. Men have always made jokes about women and menopause. Now, they discover they also have hormone issues as they age and it's all "Yeah?! So what?! You wanna say something about it?"
They can't even call it "male menopause." They have to give it a name in an attempt to disguise their insecurity about their lowered hormone level.
I imagine this pitch meeting by the Mad Men who came up with this marketing campaign: "Let's not mention testosterone or, God forbid, male menopause. How about 'Low T?' Yeah, that's it. That's suitably evasive."
"That's when I talked to my doctor. He gave me some blood tests. Showed it was 'Low T.' That's it. It was a number."
It wasn't just "a number," fella. It was LOW testerone. Get over yourself.

Yeah, but all the guys with Low T drive really cool cars and own mountain cabins and sailboats and have big, happy dogs.
