  • Nice mytake. As a guy who has always been very distant from women and girls its new thing to learn about them.
    I never knew this much about women and peiords.
    by the way #15 is for real?

    • I don't, but some women do. XD I would surely avoid having sex when I am havin' my period. #15_Varies_From_Girl_To_Girl ! XD

    • I wasn't talking about personally you, in general.. Is it true for girls in general? I heard Women don't want sex in general and hate sex during periods. I guess period sex is the safest without risk of pregnancy

    • by the way, are periods really that bad? I mean I don't know, as a man what I see women I just see nice beautiful people with nice aura and personality. I never thought of periods being taxing on women. I actually wish I was a woman... Well, it has its perks and blessings... The most important​one being looking beautiful, Smooth skinned body and being treated nicely and socially by society.

  • I have mixed feelings about these tips. Some are good, some are a little controlling. My boyfriend is my boyfriend, not my parent, my doctor, or my personal trainer. The last thing I want is to be curled up on the couch with a hot water bottle, and have him come in and order me to exercise because of something he read online. That would not go over well, lol. But advising patience and emotional sensitivity is good advice. Periods are not an excuse for mean, rude, or abusive behavior, but being extra sensitive or a little grumpy on your period is very normal.

  • i'm on it right now and am in so much pain that i can barely move (thanks, hashimoto's). even if my leg wasn't broken, anyone who tried to make me exercise in that state would get punched in the throat.

    (i danced for 10 years and taught aerobics in my early 20s. and i will tell you that exercise does not help me: it makes the pain worse, and i'd be sore and crying by the end of whatever i was doing.)

    also, "oh, you must be on your period" is never acceptable. it's you being sexist/dismissive of whatever i'm going through and will only make me angry.

    • I can understand why you would find that offensive. im cool as long as ladies dont use that as an excuse to be nasty.

    • nah, i don't have mood swings or any of that other stuff. will probably steal my husband's french fries (since i have brutal cravings for salty food) but, other than that and the pain that feels like i'm dying, i don't have any other symptoms. if she's mean to you at that time of the month, she's gonna be mean to you at other times too and you should get rid of her.

    • yeah thats what Im thinking also I have no problem with a girl stealing my food if she craved it.

  • If a guy tried #2 with my bff she would bite their arm off haha. Seriously. Nobody limits her caffeine intake. Nobody.

    • Whoops I meant #3

  • Yeah from my experience with women, never suggest nr 2. lol. Although personally I never have, but pretty sure I would piss them off with that one.

    And nr 17, not much you can do about. If the girl is a smoker than naturally she will smoke regardless of her period or not, and most smokers in general is pretty tired of people telling them to quit smoking, so that might piss her off too.

    Oh, and on nr 5. She most likely mean everything she says cause for once she can be as honest as she like and then just blame the period if someone gets too offended. So either it benefits her from this honesty and if it dosent, can just blame her period yes. But naturally, is not an excuse though. Even if it sucks.

    • Wtf really? 2 is awesome. Probably because its hard to get moving and they think it will make things worse. It won't. I have dysmenorrhea, which is cramps so bad they needed to make up a medical term for it haha (no not funny. Freaking painful) and exercise is one of the only things that actually helps.

    • @Nyx_85 Everytime I exercise while I have my period (like a proper workout) it makes things SO much more painful & I tend to bleed more. I mean light exercise (slow walk) doesn't normally effect things but yeah, I'm really glad it works for you, but not for everyone.

    • @yoshi_wanna_ask I generally don't do a full workout during my period. But just going for a walk and moving around. Maybe running up and down the stairs.

  • That's a nice Take... xx

  • This reminds me that my period just ended, and I have to go through it again next month. 😂😭😭😂

    • Me too. I have an app and it starts in 9 days. lol ugh.

    • @Youdoyouboo I feel ya. 😌😌😌

  • Thanks for sharing this with us guys, very well written MyTake of yours.

  • I agreed with everything except the exercise part on the second or third day. Those are my worst days when it comes to periods smh. I just wanna wrap up in a cuddle blanket with a heating pad and extra strength tylenol😞

  • Or me and her could just hide in the house and just sleep all day.

    • Yes, smart plan. U-U

    • @JoyGirl Yup ^^.

  • It is not the time when she is bleeding that is the problem. It is the three to four days before menstruation begins, during which she turns into an axe murderer.

    • ROFL... this comment is golden... and so true! :P

  • Just act normal... Anything else would drive me up the wall.

  • Is it taking advantage if she can't control her cravings for sex?

    • If she wants to do it then it wouldn't be taking advantage of her...

    • @NatashaBeauty I'm saying how periods would be like how drunk people have skewed judgement

    • Having your period isn't an excuse for everything in life. If you consent to sex, you consent to sex. I've never had a period before so I wouldn't understand what they go through. I mean, you literally just sit there and bleed out of your vagina all day.

  • Guys, Here's ONE thing to remember when your girl is on her period:

    LEAVE.

    You're welcome.

    • I have never had a period before but I have been around when it happened to other girls. So I can honestly say you are right.

    • Thank you

    • You won't try to make her feel better? You won't be with her in pain? You don't love her then 😒😒😒😒

  • Am i reading a fucking Buzzfeed article?

    • YES lol thank you

  • Just leave until it's over.

  • Is it just me that when a girl is on period, her boobs become bigger?

    • Yes. That starts at PMS and goes into her period haha.

  • Thanks for sharing this with us guys, very well written MyTake of yours.

  • Just give her chocolate lol

  • Sorry but your period is no excuse to act like a bitch. Men don't get any sympathy for the hormone related issues they face, and women should not get a pass for theirs either.

    • I ain't saying every girl acts like a bitch... XD

    • I know, I'm just saying no woman should use her period as an excuse to act like one.

    • Not every girl act like a bitch thank you very much. But you have to remember, it just hard for girls to control their emotions during this time, so if they snap at something stupid, it's not usually under their control
