    I just spent the last 5 minutes walking to the luas and crying because I forgot my ice pops :(

    There is no scientific evidence that suggests women are more or less emotional due to it being "that time of the month".


    It's a myth perpetuated by confirmation bias and the observer-expectancy effect.

    No big deal for my gf, I just avoid annoying her, supply copious amounts of icecream and chocolate and come out of it better than ever.

    OP calmly explain in your most condescending voice that she is playing up to a stereotype that her gender are trying to get rid of. Finish up with something about how if she wants to play it that way, you will also have a 4 day per month period which you will quench with beer and curries.

    Then scientists need to live with a woman.

    Apparently the sort of man a woman finds attractive can vary depending on where they are in their monthly cycle.

    When they are not menstruating, women prefer buff, well groomed yet rugged looking men.

    When they are menstruating, they prefer men with a spear through his head and genitals that have been attacked with a broken bottle.

    Is that actually true? I tried googling it but probably using the wrong phrases to search for. Surely with the change in hormones being produced there would be change in mood? Maybe women aren't 'more emotional' as a direct symptom but they can be more drained emotionally and physically from the pain that often accompanies menstruation - cramps and headaches.

    Are you saying PMS is imaginary? Are you nuts? I'm not saying every woman gets more emotional around that time, but, seriously, do you know any women?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    Is that actually true?

    I have no idea.


    Edit - No, evidentially it's not.

    Meh, it's one theory. I read something about it on Jezebel, but I forget the link and...you know, it's Jezebal.

    But the Period symptoms on their own, IMO, would make anybody grumpy:P

    Am I the only one amused that Ilik Urgee thanked this?

    OT, I'm exactly the same even-tempered person before, during and after the communist invasion but I know I'm lucky. And I make sure everyone else knows they're lucky too.;)
