Understanding women through the kens of their menstrual cycle

[jhonny9546]

We all know how a woman's cycle works. (For those who don't know, a short table):

Actual ovulation: 12–24 hours
Fertile window: 5.6 days
Most desirable period: 3.6 days
Luteal phase: 12.14 days
Total cycle: 21.35 days (average: 28)

Now, in this forum, it's always been emphasized that a man must be a rock solid and emotionally stable.
Read the table, gentlemen, and imagine the world a woman lives in.
Women are governed by their internal cycle.
Think about how difficult it is for them to contain themselves emotionally.

During each phase, they are a different person with different desires and needs.
This explains why relationships are difficult, or why women cheat, or why women initiate most divorces.
This is why women are so "weak" when it comes to cheating. And they will do it, no matter their current relationship situation.
This is why a male colleague or classmate is always a possibility for her to cheat on you.

Having said that, once we've learned this and kept this in mind, we can understand a lot about women.
Personally, it helped understand why some women who were already in a relationship would be all over me every 10 days of the month, seeking me out, simply being too flirtatious and being harassing.. now, these are women who would be labeled as having red flags, due to their inability to contain their emotional power, or society would say those are *****s because of their education. For sure, something and someone has failed to tech them the right behaviour, but the underlying mechanism that supports this theory is their cycle.

It doesn't matter if she's good, if she's healthy, if she's stable.
It doesn't matter if you're a beta or an alpha, if you have hair, tattoos, or a physique.
If the woman is in the desired phase, she'll have sex with that ugly man too.
If she's not, she might divorce her husband after an argument.

Women are governed by their internal cycle. Think about how difficult it is for them to contain themselves emotionally.

This a lie invented by women to gaslight gullible men like yourself. They would have you believe that "the period" is some sort of a wild, untameable force that completely takes over a woman when she starts menstruating. In reality, women are quite good at suppressing the psychological effects of the menstrual cycle when they want to. How do I know this? I've had a number of women work for my business over the years. I could never tell when they were on period because they never acted in a crazy or irrational manner at work. If they did, they would get fired.

Now think about it. If a woman can act in a calm and rational manner around her employer when she's on a period, why can't she act the same way around her husband or boyfriend?

this is a valid point. seen it many times. the crazy can be controlled in a moments notice when she wants to.

We all know how a woman's cycle works. (For those who don't know, a short table):

partially true. what some men lack is understanding what that means. knowing on paper is different than actually feeling something.

If your hormones' get a large swing as a man you will feel different and think different. For some it ends in thinking and acting in irrational ways (like a woman). If your E level goes high vs T then you will get emotional and many times into mental loops. masculine behavior will reduce or stop. this happens without your will, it is triggered before your ability to think about it. If the ratio go the other way you will get irritated and feel really bad. to the point of wanting to do nothing much. Extremes.

women experience this massive change every month. If it has ever happened to you then you will get it. women do have to deal with it, but men should not comment aggressively about something they have no personal idea about. some men do know as it has happened to them and they will get it. from a management perspective its good to know what one is seeing.

the hormones' do not just change attitude, also thinking.

Lot of women on social media have reported that they get very H*rny during ovulation

It's without doubt the best time to pick them up as a man , but also no man has a way to really know when she's ovulating

Some say they dress extra Slooty during this window if single

Every man should learn how the cycle corresponds to her emotions.

Women aren't "governed" by it but are influenced by it. They will feel more vulnerable and needy the week leading up to the period, and extremely horny in the final days and days immediately afterward. Those days are also when a woman is more likely to cheat if it's on her mind, or have a ONS. And as a man believe it or not you will be more aroused by her pheromones during this time if there is sufficient attraction.

However it's not a license to act like a bytch or to cheat, remember that. My woman gets the pains etc. but NEVER treats me badly or disrespects me. If you are dating a girl and she uses it as an excuse for bytchy behavior, pull the rip cord.

I get your point, but aren't we ALL more calm/rational around our employers? People are more likely to express their emotions around significant others than they would a boss/colleague.

I do think its important to follow your girls cycle. It gives you a little insight into her mood. Sometimes it helps explain why she is a little biatchy/more emotional/less rational and its best not to engage.

There is also the extra horniness that comes into play and some are definitely wetter when they are ovulating/most fertile.

We are not talking about merely expressing emotions but acting in a way that would otherwise be considered unacceptable and using the period as an excuse.

 

[FlexpertHamilton]

I wouldn't think about this too much considering most women are on hormonal birth control and/or have irregular cycles from all the medications they're on.

Women aren't "governed by their cycles", any more than the rest of us are "governed" by the aches and pains that accompany being human. Our THOUGHTS/BELIEFS about those things dictate how we respond to them/move through the world subsequently

Men get something similar to PMS also https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11999307/ Up until recently anyway, barely any of us hid behind that as a justification for being a c-nt on wheels

They say that when women are on their period, they want a beta male, and when they are not, they want an alpha. Also, one of my girls, when I tease her by saying she looks hot, responds by saying that “she must be ovulating,” implying that women are more beautiful through this stage since they are looking to mate.

This is all bro-science though since I haven’t read any research papers on the topic, and it’s just stuff I’ve noticed or read around the internet.

again, your correct. from a logical (mr spock) view your correct. the thing is that what matters is how it actually works. there is a difference in how we think it should work and how it does work.

Speaking from personal experience, I've never had a girlfriend who acted "crazy" during her period. This incudes girls who were not on birth control or any kind of medication. That's why I don't believe in the whole period myth. Women use the period to justify sh!tty behaviour only when they are reasonably confident that they will be able to get away with it.

This is a very helpful thread.

Years ago, I once tried mapping it out and ended up with numerous arrows pointing in every possible direction, newspaper clippings et cetera, making unbelievable connections. It ended with me cursing the J00z and shouting ‘you were supposed to suck my **** before I went into the pool!’ Nobody laughs at me now tho.
