Ladies, how do you act/feel when you’re on your period? Guys, do you pay more special attention when she’s on her period?

[Pinay_ako]

ladies, is this picture correct?

Guys, are you more understanding towards her? Or you just use this as an excuse why she’s the way she is? Coz I don’t like it when people say oh you must be on your period, you’re so bitchy! 😡 How about you ladies?

BE NICE! Mean answers will be blocked!

[ObscuredBeyond]

I'm not the period whisperer. Unless it's spelled out somehow that this is happening, I treat her the same as any other time of the month, until the patterns become recognizable. If I don't know what to look for, it isn't real.

If she seems unapproachable, I keep my distance. Unless she intentionally tries to get under my skin, or press my buttons. Violating my boundaries. Which even on-period women should know better.

If she seems troubled, my first instinct is to comfort and problem solve. If greeted with a shield, she's not ready for me to come to the rescue. If greeted with the spear, she doesn't deserve my help.

Hormones can mess someone up for a hot minute. Words can stay with someone for years. No matter what you're feeling, be mindful of them.

[Crafteroon]

All part of knowing each other. I'm unlikely to do anything really special unless I notice it's worse than usual. But noticing the changes in behavior, seeing what cravings they might get, etc. It's worth of keep their favorite ice cream or chocolate bar in stock.

[Pinay_ako]

That’s a sweet thought

[Crafteroon]

I'm a sweet guy.

[Pinay_ako]

I can tell

[daisy_needs_an_owner]

hai! so, first i wanna say that i h8 when people assume im on my period if im angry about somehting they did, like they just wanna escape responisbility and put it on my uterus
:<
but in general, especially for me, i think when ur on ur period ur hormones go frickin wild and when they do that ur mood can swing a lot and i personally cry a lot and need lots of support.
if i have a boyfriend ever, i wish for him to hug me and just give me nice words and say its oky i love u and stuff like that and then i wanna watch a movie with him or do something fun. so yea. hahha hope this helps <3

[JohnK123]

Ya that’s what I would do with my girl lol hug her give her all the attention

[Pinay_ako]

@JohnK123 proud 🥲 😂

[JohnK123]

Lol… thanks

[daisy_needs_an_owner]

@JohnK123 omgosh ur so nice also do u have insta?

[menina]

I'm usually very sensitive, I cry a lot. Or I get annoyed by everything and everyone. My levels of patience decrease and I also get tired easily.

"Coz I don’t like it when people say oh you must be on your period, you’re so bitchy!" - I absolutely agree with you.

[Pinay_ako]

They don’t know what it’s like 😂. The cramps! Imagine them having cramps on their member 😖

[menina]

Oh no they don't! They have no idea! 😅 I know right, then they would say things like that!

[menina]

*they wouldn't

[D_Bone_Steak]

Behavior needs to be learned how to be controlled. There is no excuse if you become unhinged because you're drunk in a court of law so a period should be no different.

People don't get checked nowadays though... thus the rise in Karen and Kens trying to bark orders at strangers and all the other messy stuff. Respect has been sucked out of this society for the most part. Even minding your own business is like a non-concept for many in the States now. The irritation you'll see from people that can control themselves is because they've probably dealt with someone acting like that once or twice in the last 6 months... if not more. No self control = some bullshit.

[Stars12122]

That's easy to say when you've never experienced it. Sure people with a DUI are held accountable but that's because drinking is a choice. People with medical conditions, however, are not always held accountable for their actions.

In hospitals people in pain assault doctors and nurses all the time. They are not held liable because it's medically related. Similarly, periods can be extremely bad for some women. I had a friend who had it so bad she had to go to the hospital for blood loss (bad hemorrhage). When she was in a bad mood during her time of the month I was extra compassionate. She literally blacked out sometimes. I felt so bad for her.

So please have some compassion.

[qwert1234]

That time of the month, I usually find out that:
-It's my fault
-It's a lot easier to say sorry than to drag it along
-Food is awesome
-Food delivery is one of man's greatest innovation
-Spiderman and me have a common "tingle" on danger.
-There's no manly way to buy pads. Just suck it up. Go in, buy the specific item, pay, go out with heads up high. Again, specific item.

[Pinay_ako]

Oh wow you’d do that?

[Stars12122]

Wise man 🤭

[qwert1234]

@Pinay_ako which one?

[Pinay_ako]

Buying pads?

[qwert1234]

Yes, why not.
Is it uncommon?

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 some guys would rather go to war 🤣

[qwert1234]

Well if you don't buy her one, there's gonna be a war either way. lol

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 genius

[boredgal]

when I have my period I get irritated easily, I cry easily over silly things, random food cravings. my mood changes, I am a happy and a very patient person but when I have my period I feel like I'm a different person and not in a good way. I hate that version of myself. but I can't seem to just shake it off. im not a bitch, its just the hormones.

[Kori1236]

I basically act the same as I do when I have a migraine. There’s not enough coffee in the world, Advils, Tylenols any medication that helps with pain relief is like candy (of course I do follow the regulated times and have stronger stuff for emergencies) I bloat and the one thing that makes it all better is a chocolate raspberry croissant. That’s day one.


I’m super lucky though my period only lasts 3-4 days, day two is light and 3-4 is light spotting if anything at all.

[Slingblade1126]

Every girl I've ever been with never had mood changes. The only difference I would notice is one girlfriend would get pimples on her face, one would be more tired for a couple days, some ate different while on it and they were ALL way more horny! But none of them seemed to change mood wise and none ever seemed or talked about physical discomfort.

[Chazmatazz269]

Grown folks should always be in control of their behavior, regardless of internal or external stimuli. The failure to do so is widely recognized as mental illness or physiological disorder. By the time a female reaches adulthood, she should have had enough guidance and experience with pre-menstruation and menstruation to handle it like an adult. If she can’t, we’re not compatible. If I’m not permitted wild mood swings and outbursts regardless of my condition and environment, why should she be? That’s not an equal partnership and i won’t be treated like a subordinate.

[RavVid]

Don't know about other guys but it always catches me by surprise. I would be more understanding when it was coming up - if I kept better track.

But it is more like Pheww, ok thats over... pheww, now it is more normal... pheww. I'm going try to forget the past few days for the sake of the relationship. To be honest, most of the time there isn't much of a blip.

I think tribal man would be more attuned to nature and look up at the moon and say 'guys we should go hunting tomorrow'

Leviticus 20:18 If a man lies with a woman during her menstrual period and uncovers her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.1 Timothy 2:11-15Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. Leviticus 15:20 ESV / 143 helpful votesAnd everything on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean. Everything also on which she sits shall be unclean.

[Admirahurrem]

No offense this is horse shit , woman aren't to be submissive to men just for one purpose of childbirth to save her from your bullshit

[motownplayer2000]

Nope. Same amount of attention. Don’t need more cause then that would piss me off. If she wants to be cranky and pissy and miserable, she can do that in her corner. If she wants to spread positivity and have positivity in her life then she is welcome to come to me. But don’t come to me with negative, miserable energy and expect me to make you feel better on your period. No ma’am!

[Stars12122]

"wants" is a strong word. A lot of women are in pain and have hormone fluctuations that they can't help. Have you ever been sick and felt like spreading positivity or did you just feel miserable and want to take a nap?

[motownplayer2000]

I felt miserable sure. But I never once felt needy or needed someone to hold me or make me feel better and then bit there head off when they didn’t do what I wanted them to do. Sooo, in that case it’s a bit different

[Stars12122]

I wonder if your Mom would say differently 🤭 I'm sure you didn't think you had an attitude but maybe you did and didn't realize it. You certainly sound cranky and miserable in your post 🤣

[motownplayer2000]

Lol maybe I’m just sick 😂

[AviatorTom]

Women moods swing all over the place, at random times, not just when she's having her period. I try to be understanding (that's basically ignoring her mood swings) at all times.

[Ukrainianbuddafly]

I'm more tired than usual but overall I feel like I'm more pleasant which goes against the typical I've heard lol. Sometimes I'll need my hearing pad but other than that..

[LilyoftheLake]

It's like normal emotions, but random and more INTENSE. Mostly I just cry, and sometimes I get more horny.

[larry69]

You are not the only woman that goes through the crying and especially the horny feelings and orgasms can help you.

[VIVANT]

I like to be alone. Cramps are tendons first day but then it’s not too bad. I hate the entire bleeding thing it’s gross so I just don’t want to be hear anyone. Mood wise, stuff looks bleak and my expectations are low, but that’s about it.

[VIVANT]

Tremendous not tendons lol

[NathanDavis]

I definitely have a protocol and considerations that vary/varied, according to the partner... and they can go from DEFCON 1 and up to 6... lol

[whereismyjohnny]

I turn into a softie 😆 I'll literally get emotional over anything at times. Once, I almost started crying because of some cute dog video, and it wasn't even sad 😂

[DoctorSex]

Out of love,
I tend to lock her in a broom closet of some sort whilst every 8, with a long pointy stick, slide under a raw cuts of beef... With a stick for my own safety. Wouldn't want to loose a finger.

I of course, as a holy man, will be reading scriptures from the book of Psalms.

Kind regards,
DoctorSex

[Stars12122]

I'm usually super tired when I'm on my period. I take naps and nibble on more carbs. My mood is usually the same just more quiet from the tiredness.

[Guy13]

I can tell you... You all are super delightful to be around... And "when do they dry-up and this chaos stop... how many more years?" continually crosses the mind...

[Admirahurrem]

Yes the pain sometimes hurts and get very intense depending on your cycle but doesn't mean you can yell or belittle someone sure of when someone isn't feeling well they look moody and sometimes a hug is all the hormonal side of the period needs , so if she takes care of you when your sick and sore then it's only fair to do the same for her. In my opinion at least

[crmoore]

I give her tons of attention when she's on her period. I love an emotional girl. I'll console and take care of her, that's for sure. 😁🦸‍♂️

[Pinay_ako]

You love an emotional girl?

[crmoore]

Yes, very much so. It's cute and endearing. It inspires an instinctual desire to care for her, protect her, and make her feel better.
