    Dudes when your lady wants it while Flo is visiting, flip her over and play the back 9.

    Ignoring how patronising (and unnecessary) this post is, you forgot "have a lot of sex with your female partner while she's bleeding if she wants to". Some women get really horny, while menstruating.

    Dear men: Please keep quiet about biological functions and mental states you have no experience of.

    Who wants their bedroom to look like a damn csi investigation?

    Can we please talk about how men get their version of a period every month too? Minus the bleeding and cramps, but they definitely get crabby once a month - or at least my husband does.(and no, it isn't when I'm having mine, lol)

    Funny Post!

    I just have to put my two cents in though. I think that women are taught that they will act crazy and moody and mean during their period and that makes them think it is ok. I have been menstruating for 19 years and I have never gone off in a hormonal rage. Maybe I am just lucky? Maybe I just choose to control my actions, words, and attitude. It bothers me when some gal acts like a witch and then is like "gee sorry, it's that time of the month..."

    I don't knowingly act like a crazy lady on my period, but I get told I'm short that TOM. Also, I'm 41 and still have serious hormonal breakouts. Some women are just wired differently.

    I am surprised by learning via this thread that there are many women who don't know that different women get different symptoms. I thought this would be common knowledge amongst women.

    I love you Taunto.

    But you forgot the cravings man.... dear God the cravings....
    Must have something salty, followed by the chocolate and the wine, and then the something salty again.

    :bigsmile: Of course someone's going to go ahead and tie that right to the horny comments, lol.

    Like I said, theres actually a BUNCH of other "symptoms" I couldn't put in the thread since it would make the thread way bigger than it already is. Which sucks because they're all awesome (for me to joke about)

    Please do a second post so I have yet another reason to search for the movie the scarred me forever so much so I never did change out for gym.

    PLUG IT UP!!!

    Nothing kills cramps like a good solid O and I'm not talking Oprah! :drinker:



    Believe me, 44 years of personal experience with this, if the cramps are bad enough, the O is not possible. And no man, Taunto heading the list, is qualified to give an opinion on this subject, however he may amuse himself with some fantasy..

    I don't drink wine, but the chocolate part is on. This month during the PMS part of the cycle the boyfriend laughed at my frustration and said "would you like me to run to the store and buy you a fastbreak" your damn right I want a fastbreak! Felt so much better :)

    Yup. Hand me the remote, a jar of peanut butter (prefer it over chocolate) and a bottle of moscato and then GTFO and you will survive the week.

    Good post. I found it pretty funny, on the flip side I can see why some women would be irritated by it. Not to say it wasn't well written and insightful :-) I've been menstruating for 15 years (yes, i'm 24 and unlucky enough to start at 9) Maybe because I started so early I missed out on the cultural idea of PMS, but i never found it an issue..the cramps on the other hand.. So many days missed at school because I couldn't sit up in bed. Since I started on the pill to cure the weeks of bleeding (yup..it just kept going for an indeterminate length of time - always over 7 days) I've been more aware of the chocolate craving which I never had before..wine is a given, just look at my diary :P The emotional thing..never bothered me till I broke up with my bf 3 months ago..for the intervening periods I've cried like I was leaking the Niagara falls every month..just varies I guess!

    Wow. There are Doctors practicing in the OB/GYN, pelvic pain, and oncology fields and there are women here saying they're not qualified because of body parts?

    Tonto, you have it right.

    And for the women that don't like it, this is in the "chit-chat, fun, and games" section, if you're not having fun, you don't need to post. It's ok to disagree with someone. I promise the world won't explode because someone anonymously posted a joke on the internet.

    Even as a man I agree. More worried about how a 9 years old would handle it. I have a niece thats 7. That is really scary for me that girls can start as young as 9!

    I know...it was not a particularly pleasant situation...none of my friends started for a good 3/4 years after me. Unfortunately it was/is a family trait, we all started young and had pretty rotten cramps and sickness. I vaguely remember reading research that said the age girls start is lowering...the one thing I do remember being embarrassed about was that I had to sit out some swimming lessons in school because of it ,while everyone else was going and had to tell my teacher why (that wasn't my parents fault - it started unexpectedly but still when I was that young it was intimidating to tell the teacher)
