[–]PublicUrinator 303 points304 points ago

I find it unnerving that you people are all too aware of the durations of your families menstrual cycles. As far as I'm concerned no one has genitals in the PublicUrinator household.

It's not necessarily that people keep track of mothers/sisters periods, it's just when you wake up and find a bloodthirsty devil instead of a woman, you figure out pretty fast

Am I the only girl that doesn't turn into a mega bitch during my period? And if I feel bitchy I just let people know I'm crabby and not to take me personal.

[–]TartarSauceDeluxe 34 points35 points ago

No, you're not. It is often a self fulfilling prophesy for many women. They think that they're going to have typical PMS symptoms, and it often becomes an excuse to be rude to others.

I get terrible cramps during this time of the month, and I get less sleep because of this. I don't know about all women, but if I don't sleep well then it's harder to not express frustration when something bothers me.

[–]Tetha 8 points9 points ago

if I don't sleep well then it's harder to not express frustration when something bothers me.

That's pretty universal. I kinda turn into a ruthless drill sargeant when I'm too tired. It's a good thing that I learned to avoid people who can't take a hearty "Oh you didn't care about my opinion, then just go and finish what you are doing faster already".

[–]marievska 4 points5 points ago

I get terrible cramps during this time of the month, and I get less sleep because of this. I don't know about all women, but if I don't sleep well then it's harder to not express frustration when something bothers me.

If it happens during your period, it's not PMS.

[–]TartarSauceDeluxe 3 points4 points ago

I know. People often think PMS happens during the period.. Apparently it happens 5-11 days beforehand.

[–]Azzu 9 points10 points ago

People think that? I thought "Premenstrual syndrome" made it pretty clear that it happens prior to the period.

[–]MeloJelo 1 point2 points ago

It is often a self fulfilling prophesy for many women

I think it is for many men, too. They think along the lines of, "Oh, my wife or sister or mother is being a bitch. It must because she's PMSing," even if she's no more bitchier than usual or if there's something legitimately wrong (e.g., not getting enough sleep).

[–]marie5487 1 point2 points ago

Well that is just stupid! Can't we all just be happy? :)

[–]scottfarrar 23 points24 points ago

No, some women talk it up as an excuse to act out. Some men talk it up as a mysogonistic devaluation of women's emotions.

[–]LessLikeYou 1 point2 points ago

No, you are not. In my travels and datings I've found that women who tend to play up the emotional instability are doing so not simply because of their hormones but because that example was set at some point by their mother or television or some other source.

That said male response seems to be dictated by same.

I grew up with between two - four sisters at a given time in the house and my mother. My mother had a lot of female issues so the sister that was around her the longest with no other real female influence adopted an attitude of Woe is me...periods are awful...waaaaaaaaaa where my half-sister doesn't talk about it and doesn't seem bothered about it.

I dunno whatever a few hundred people over 32 years is hardly a solid sampling I guess.

[–]marie5487 1 point2 points ago

Nice to know, I mean yeah it sucks but no need to be bitchy about it towards other people.

[–]xlaxplaya 44 points45 points ago

Also, when you're in a house with three women, their ladyparts sync up. So one day you come back home and they're all in their PJ's, watching Disney movies and crying.

[–]perverse_imp 35 points36 points ago

This is a myth.

Edit: Mostly a myth.

[–]russlo 17 points18 points ago

[–]liebkartoffel 5 points6 points ago

From that same article:

Suffice it to say that about half the published papers support the synchronization hypothesis and half don’t; and the half that do have been harshly criticized for their poor design and poor statistical analyses. So we haven’t reached a consensus, but it’s looking more likely that synchronization is a myth.

[–]Cilicious 1 point2 points ago

Also from that same article:

Even if the phenomenon occurs, and even if human pheromones cause it, so what? It’s a matter of curiosity, not of clinical importance.

That sounds more philosophical than scientific. To me, information obtained from this study might help women who have irregular cycles. (Also, until corrected, the author had the wrong name on the McClintock study.)

From McClintock herself in Scientific American: "I completely agree with Jeff [Schank]. There are no perfectly lock-phased cycles that are sustained over 20 cycles; that is very rare. But given what I know about the causes of menstrual synchrony means I expect it to be rare," she says. "So the fact that it is rare doesn't mean that it doesn't exist." In that article, Scientific American also mentions a Japanese study about cycle length.

Unscientific and anecdotal: My dad spent 25 years managing an office of roughly 20 women. I've spent 25 years working among other women at school. There was never a time where every female was 100% synched, but sometimes the overlap can be remarkable; a box of tampons is always kept in the restroom.

[–]TartarSauceDeluxe 6 points7 points ago

What makes her so awful?

[–]MnBran6 10 points11 points ago

Eh, short version: I loved (still do) my dad more and she got jealous so she kicked him out and moved us away from him. While he struggled living, she slowly tried to make me love her and hate him. Luckily, she isn't that great at manipulation so I kept loving and supporting my dad while she failed to make him look evil.

That's not the whole thing and it's massively abridged, but imagine how a chick like that treats her kids and the people around her.

[–]Olukon 2 points3 points ago

I kinda know that feel, bro.

Not as intense or prevalent a situation as you described, but my family suffers something similar.

[–]MnBran6 4 points5 points ago

Why is it so hard to believe? Some people are cunts. Some cunts have children. Maybe it's hard to accept, but you can't choose your parents, it may as well happen that his mother is a cunt.

My sister and I know when each other are on the rag. Mostly because one or the other is being a massive bitch. We're both usually pretty cool, but for the two weeks of the month one or the other of us is menstruating, things get bad.

Most likely a rogue lion encroaching on their territory. And no, he most likely did not survive. Sorry.

[–]wqm 1 point2 points ago

What is exactly is a rogue lion? Is it a lion from another pride or like a young male lion who is on his own or something?

[–]saqwarrior 3 points4 points ago

Is it a lion from another pride or like a young male lion who is on his own or something?

Yes.

[–]Drawtaru 1 point2 points ago

It's usually a male on his own, or with a small band of other male lions. Male lions are kicked out of their prides once they reach a certain age, and they will band together with other young males and cause trouble. They don't belong anywhere, so they have to fight to get anything they need.

[–]SeductiveBacon 2 points3 points ago

There's also a ninja in the background.

[–]palpablescalpel 2 points3 points ago

I agree with Drawtaru that it's pretty unlikely that that was the male of the pride. I really, really want to see the video it comes from - it's a cool gif.

Keep chocolate handy.

[–]donpapillon[S] 41 points42 points ago

After I found about that, I started buying a lot of chocolate and leaving it available throughout the house when the time comes.

When they try to attack me sometimes I grab the nearest bar and throw before running away, but it just delays the inevitable...

[–]AgentDaedalus 31 points32 points ago

Oh god, I do the same. I have chocolate and coke all ready in my room for when my two female roommates get to that time of the month. I just leave out bottles of coke and chocolate in the middle of the living room table and shut my door. I always know when they find it when I hear a cry of "CHOCOLATE" closely followed by "COKE" and then an "OH GOD YES!" They believed for the longest time that it was one of the girls boyfriend who was leaving them the little "gifts" and they would always treat him nicely when they get their dose of sweets, almost flirty like. It went on like that for a while until one day, I was too busy to remember to put out the sweets and they screamed and yelled at my roommate for forgetting. He admitted to them that he had no idea what they were talking about, and the two girls realized I was the one leaving the chocolates and coke for them. They ran to my door and pounded on it, tried to open it, tried to kick it open, scratch it open, etc, all the while demanding for chocolate and coke. I sat curled up under my table scared shitless until they left.

That is what I imagine the zombie apocalypse to be like.

[–]noodlefishmonkey 3 points4 points ago

I come from a big family with a female majority, so Dad had this down to a tee. Any warning signs, he would run and get a big bag of miniature bars, a big solid bar of chocolate and a bumper -pack of sanitary pads (he point-blank refused to get tampons).

One time he presented me with this gift and I was like "Dad, I'm not having my period." His response: "But you were being so mean.......!?!"

[–]Golden-Calf 36 points37 points ago

Period synching is a HUGE myth. What actually tends to happen is that most women don't have a "perfect" 28 day cyle, so a pair of women might have cycles that last 26 and 30 days each. Eventually they are going to fall on the same day naturally, but that doesn't mean they've synched up. Of course, when this does happen girls will talk/laugh about "having synched up", but a few months later when they aren't "in synch" anymore, none of them talk about it because it's old news.

[–]Chili440 48 points49 points ago

Nor do we act like crazed psycho hose beasts before, during or after.

[–]memeaddictedchick 30 points31 points ago

I second this. When I'm on my period, I just wanna sit quietly and read a book. If someone annoys me(and they're not my younger brother) I'll just give them a dirty look and keep doing what I was doing. I've never met a crazed woman on her period. Perhaps my mother, but she's like that all the time. And one more thing: I don't like chocolate. Maybe I'm not a full woman or something. Lol

[–]tehaleks 14 points15 points ago

I'm about at the same anger-level during all times of pain. Whether I've stepped on a thumb-tack, faceplanted on the sidewalk and fucked up my hands and knees, or day 2-3 of my period, I'm going to be a bit short with anyone who mocks me, is an asshole or tries my patience in any sort of manner. Otherwise it's really no different than any other time, I just have to pee more often and sleep in.

[–]evilbob 2 points3 points ago

In my mind I added 'it' to the end of your last sentence. Seemed like a strange way to deal with your period.

[–]Alxariam 1 point2 points ago

Guy here. I've dated girls with all different kinds of periods (the women I date are very open). My fiancee just has a little more trouble handling stress, but my ex would pin every single problem in her life on me for one week out of the month, and then go back to being herself again. On the opposite side, another ex of mine could be on her period without me ever finding out. It just varies from person to person, in my opinion.

[–]memeaddictedchick 1 point2 points ago

Well assholes gotta be put in their place sometimes. Even though I'm a peaceful person, I will speak up to assholes.

[–]tehaleks 1 point2 points ago

Exactly! Even if I'm in a good mood, I'm still gonna call an asshole out when I see one.

[–]gameguy285 6 points7 points ago

Period synching HUGE myth

The problem with this statement is that the link you've provided only asserts that certain studies were not conducted & evaluated correctly. Meaning one can't then use the same data/observations to fully prove the opposite hypothesis.

Meaning at best you should say it's 'unproven', rather than "myth" which insinuates disproven.

Additionally the bulk of the criticisms presented are for the 1971 study, and not the 1998 McClintock/Stern study.

If you're interested in learning more about this, try out this white paper which touches on the topic, the criticisms and the like.

[–]IHATE_R_ATHEISM 12 points13 points ago

i guess in my case it always has been synched with whatever woman I was living with, whether it was my roommate, mother, or stepmother. anecdotal evidence, but in my case not a myth.

[–]Apostolate 21 points22 points ago

Well if you read the linked article it says:

The existence of menstrual synchrony has not been definitively established, and studies investigating it have been controversial.

"It has not been definitively proven" does not mean:

IT IS A HUGE MYTH

I've likewise heard enough anecdotal evidence to think there is something to it.

How does the Wikipedia article expose period synching as a "huge myth"? I see mention of only one study that finds no evidence for period synching, and 3 that do find evidence. There's certainly lots of criticism of the studies, but nothing that show it's a "huge myth".

I don't believe you have a mother OR two sisters, but thanks for making us all check out some sweet lion balls, bro.

[–]welpImbored 10 points11 points ago

I grew up with 4 sisters, I had no idea when they were on their periods. I never noticed them acting differently while they were on it either. If they started acting like bitches then I turned into an asshole. Chivalry went out the window and equality set in. Gallantry is gone once any woman starts starts acting crazy; they're about to get a dose of the equality they worked hard for, and I'll be tearing them a new asshole with some choice words.

What did the male lion do to piss them off so bad?

As a married father of 4 18-22 year old girls, this is actually the mild understated version of events.

edit: because PMDD. The portal to hell opens.

That is honestly one of the scariest things I've ever seen. A full grown male lion, and in an instant he knows. He doesn't raise a claw, consider fighting, turn to run, anything. He knows. He immediately lays down to wait for whatever will come because there is simply nothing else to do. Horrifying.

I think I may have seen this documentary, and if I remember correctly he was a lone male who had wandered into the wrong territory and the ladies were just afraid for their cubs. I think he received a rather severe ass kicking and was sent on his way. But I could be wrong.

I'm assuming there's a video on this, anyone mind linking if they know about it?

[–]moominza 1 point2 points ago

I tried tracing, it eventually came to http://headlikeanorange.tumblr.com/post/13461114070 saying it was filmed by David Attenborough. I simply don't have the cap to quickly scan through you tube videos. sorry!

god. I don't know what's worse, having a gf that's a complete fucking bitch on her period. or having a gf that you really love turn into an insecure, self-pitying mopey person on her period. actually 2nd is much better.

It's okay, OP! I hear their menstrual blood attracts bears.

Hide behind the bears.

ask your two sisters and mom. im pretty sure they are mad cause they couldnt fit them in their mouthes.

[–]nympho_dora_tonks 1 point2 points ago

Poor men, you guys have to put up with us silly women.

[–]Thedeadmilkman 1 point2 points ago

I honestly feel your pain. I have 4 sisters and two stepsisters. Add my mother and that is 7 at once Vs me. As my brother is 10 years younger than I am, nobody gets mad at the baby. But o swear this to you, it pays off in dividends later in life. You will understand women better than most men and you will know the proper way to handle the situation. You won't be as grossed out by menstration as other guys either. Eventually you'll learn they don't just magically find into psycho bitches every month but that being in constant pain is not condusive to good moods.
