On this I sympathize with you women. When God distributed the biological difficulties of life he did not distribute them equally between men and women; women got the worst end of the deal. But you do get to live longer; women have higher life expectancies than men.Originally Posted by miss tenderness

Oh thats a topic not to get me started on , I had my ears pierced when I was 2 , and I had alot of problems with them swelling up and pussing and things when I was about 8 and since then I cant wear earing really without paying, so if anyone is going to have their kids ears peirced DONT!
ecept for the higher breast and female cancer risk.
I get the munchies and I only want crunchy food and its all very well but by the time the 2 weeks have passed you/Ive forgotten and it still suprised.Ah, I was wondering when we'd get onto that subject. The girliest topic ever.
I have mixed feelings about mine. On one hand, it's a real nuisance, but on the other, it's a sign that I'm still functioning. Most women know when they're going to start, but mine seem to enjoy sneaking up on me, sometimes I know, sometimes I don't, and, what's worse is when I predict when they'll start (Using my calendar) it decides to tease me and start the day after the end of my predicted timeIt's so frustrating. But, now I think I've figured out a way to make an educated guess as to when it'll happen.
A while ago, I read an article on Yahoo about how to know when a woman is ovulating. I won't go into the details, basically, the woman will dress up slightly prettier, not more fashionably, just prettier, when she's at her most fertile. Like, she'll wear a prettier pair of earrings or a nicer top than usual. It's only subtle changes to how they look. Anyway, If figured that when I feel a bit prettier than usual and decide to try and look a bit prettier, then it's due to happen a couple of weeks after that. I’ve only been able to test it out once though, so far, and I was right. I was expecting it this time.
really never heard the no cold food theory I know about fruit and veg lots and lots ( and you know what its true!) becuase some months Im doubled up swearing that if there is such a thing as reincarnation I want to be male next time round and some times its all good- well as good as having a perfectly good layer of skin ripped off could be.
never got why people get all embareesed about it although its a bit sad to think of somthing you have carried with you since before you were born dying every month.
Ouch kathy poor you ( talking about the ear but other than that ouch, too)

This is something I care about. I'm not sure if the pill has changed lately, but I have read some startling statistics concerning them and the incidence of cancers. Every girl should know the risks when taking them . . .

Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.
Hadn't looked at this thread in awhile. I see we're on to the dreaded period.
This reminded me of a friend of mine in high school who used to refer to it as "riding the crimson wave." She's an actress, and so she's got a real flare for the dramatic. One day there was an older male teacher who didn't want to let her out of class to use the bathroom and she said in this huge stage voice in front of the whole class "but Mr. So and so, I am riding the crimson wave!" The sad part was that he didn't get it at first, so she spent like five minutes painstakingly explained the euphemism (without ever once just using the word "period") while the whole class just fell over laughing. When the poor teacher finally got what she was talking about his entire bald head turned bright red, which didn't help matters any.
There, have we officially managed to scare the boys away?

yes, when it comes to "that time of the month" or "the monthly bill" men are clueless. They act like you're the one that's being an unreasonable witch and they continue to sit on their asses while you're dealing with this pain that starts in your center and shoots down your legs and pulsates through your feet and all the while you're expected to function as usual even though you feel like complete $%#@.
Women are expected to go to work and come home and prepare dinner and iron their husband's shirts (because men would just wear wrinkled shirts to work -- they don't know that you're not supposed to do that). And the moodiness is not pleasant --- we don't like it! I don't think men would be pleasant if they were in pain like that. And I am quite tired of men making PMS/period jokes.

Ya really hate me, Kathy?I usually make them myself from pics (crop and or resize) but I have downloaded some premade ones from sites as well. This one made me think of you...

This just seemed such a fitting answer to a few of the recent guy posts...
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Not so much dont know as dont care
We have our own pain, mentioned by Vada Dagon earlier, getting hit in the crotch. This story should put a smile on most women's faces and a cringe to the men's.And the moodiness is not pleasant --- we don't like it!

I was out one night with a college buddy playing pool. He had rarely played before (not to mention he was drunk). I was standing watching the game on the TV when he took his shot. He hit underneath the ball it leapt off the table and hit me square in the nuts. Any normal person would show some degree of sympathy. What does he do? Starts singing "Andrew, He's only got three balls" throughout the rest of the night
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
I don't really tend to get bad pains. Sometimes I don't even know it's started until I go to the ladies. Thankfully, I only really get an upset stomach and don't feel like eating much, because my stomach is sending confused signals to my brain. I usually have a violent mood swing straight after a kind of "Wow, I look so attractive" sort of mood swing, which I now attribute to the fertility thing I mentioned earlier.
But, as my mother would sayAnd it's true. We just need to find our own ways of coping with it.
Oh, and seeing as some people have different names for it, we call it "starting" or "I've started" or, in the run up to it, "I'm due". Not as interesting as the other terms for it, but each to their own.
No doubt but there is none other beeste comparable to the mightie dragon in awsome power and majestie, and few so worthie of the diligent studies of wise men - Gildas Magnus, Ars Draconis, 1465
True, but at least it's somewhat avoidable and not a regular thing.Not so much dont know as dont care

Periods are uncomfortable, somewhat painful, and not something that's very avoidable. Oh, and have you ever thought that it hurts a LOT when girls get hit in the chest? I'm sure not quite as much as a guy getting hit in the crotch, but it's not actually that far.
true truewell as far as hurts alot couldnt tell how far it is though

We're very sorry, ladies, truly we are, but without utilizing a chainsaw in manner most dramatic, it's hard for us to empathize.

Well, thing is- men get hurt when they get hit in their crotch.. Women get hurt when their hit in their chest.. They are to some level, sensitive... And guys, just imagine an orage coming out of you crotch area to an unimaginably small opening... That's about the equivalent of girls undergoing childbirth... Yes, we did get the crappy side of anatomy... Just imagine the embarassment of having a red stain through your clothes as compared to having a stain coz you jacked off because of an old bag.... That would be equivalent.. almost....
I mean, it IS normal but guys don't have to be such dicks about it... [ haha ]
On that note, I have a very strong case of PMS everytime my period nears... One time I even choked my classmate out of frustration, other times I'd just be all moody... Then other times I'd be ecstatic adn sooo happy.... Hormonal imbalance paired with reactive insanity = One crazy teenager...
Think about the orage part guys...
