| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 6:52:41 PM | | I don't agree that it's necessarily "hidden"; maybe all those sex hormones and endrophines (spelling?) surging through her body during the exciting early stages of a love affair actually make the symptoms less severe. Once things get a little comfortable (no offense to your friend; it doesn't mean he's doing anything wrong), her body might just be returning to its natural cycle. | |

| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 7:17:51 PM | yam PMS is a condition experienced in VERY different degrees. For those who have the milder symptoms, it's really not that big of a deal. But understand that the whole thing is CHEMICAL and cannot be controlled. THere are meds that can help control it, some need them some don't. So to answer your question, yes single women are as afflicted with PMS as those who aren't. It has nothing to do with your relationship status. There is a theory that having sex can lessen or alieviate the symptoms. Just something I've read. | |

To the women who are saying they become more emotional, etc. during their period: Do you recognize the cause of that at the time?
Lord yes, even well before the period starts. I'm in perimenopause (translation: I'm just plain whacked more often than not) and for the last few years, I've been having my period every 2 weeks. Any idea what that's like? I do manage it for the most part because I accept it for what it is and realize that it will pass. I understand that my perspective is skewed and that I'll regain the proper perspective once my period stops beating the crap out of me, lol. It's not like it makes me act like a different person, (such as suddenly slamming doors when I didn't slam doors before, etc) it's just that I react to things more emotionally, and from a very "blah", weepy and quite impatient perspective. The problem is that I have real trouble hiding what's going on, hence the need for eradicating all communication. I know it's me that has the problem, and we're all better off if I'm left to myself. Still wanna be held, though.
For example, if you were in the early stages of a relationship, would you cancel a date (by maybe saying you weren't feeling well) if you knew you were likely to be an emotional wreck?
No, it's not that I become an emotional wreck and lose all control. It's more like this...I know NOT to drink alcohol, (oh, nononoyikes!) I know to not talk about "problems", I know to not be around people that push my buttons to hell and back, lol, cause my potty mouth will let 'er "Top 20" rip in about 2.5 seconds flat, and I know that all I'm good for is a sofa, a TV showing either erotica or comedy, and for everyone to forget I exist. Unless you love me and just wanna sit and hold me!
Would I cancel a date with a new fella? Yeppers, and not only that, I'll not take his calls, write him letters, or even think about him, lol.
In a relationship, he'd already know the deal and I'm seriously doubting I'd be given any real options--goodness, he'd go into serious hiding! But if he's the ballsy sort, I'd let him hold me.
lol

Tell me that men don't have cycles, too. Just different in a way, but we used to joke at the job I just left about our boss' moodiness. It seemed to fit the PMS thing, but he was a guy!! I've noticed it with other men, too.
I've seen these moods in MANY men....so have my friends.....Just because it was never given a NAME, doesn't mean it didn't EXIST...

when you first start dating a woman, she is never temperamental during PMS or her period. But at some point, that changes
You've never dated me then. From day 1 of relationship, you'd know if it's time for The Dot. And by the gods, chocolate, chips and chai tea better be in your arms when you get home from the store!  | |

The difference is, men are just idiots. I have no problem admitting that.
But there is a difference between moodiness and the insanity of some women that comes with PMS. | |

| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 8:16:29 PM | dceee You know what I'm talking about. Men DO have them, they're just a name for them. But men have hormones, and they go through the cycles too. And what noone is said that the reason for the female cycles, hormones, all of it is so that we can give birth and give these moody men children. Face it, when it comes down to it, if women didn't have their cycles, life would cease to exist. (yeah I said it, looking for a flameproof suit, and ducking under the nearest brick wall)  | |
|
| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 8:17:52 PM | | I suppose the insanity I have experienced from men is just my imagination. I could swear there is a song about that. Every human is insane to some degree... PMS or no PMS.... | |
|
| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 8:23:27 PM | Again ... why do people get involved in relationships? Seriously, it's clear that the opposite sex is more likely to cause you grief than just about anyone or anything else.
And you're right, PMS or not, men and women are both insane and drive each other to the cusp of killing someone (and every so often that line is crossed )
Six weeks ... that's about long enough ... move along. | |
|
| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 8:24:11 PM | PMS to one is a calm day, to the other a wicked tornado. I've seen both. Right off the bat my current G-Friend told me to hold on, cause the winds will blow. No problem, I like alone time as much as anybody else. | |
|
| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 8:32:56 PM | when I have PMS, I want to get some, but I am ****y. To all men, deal with the pms and give her pleasure, then she will be happy for about an hour. LOL, then nail her again. lol, be rough in bed and let her release her frustration. Peace  | |

I think some of you are not sure what the terms are...PMS stands for PRE menstrual symptoms..they usually start before her period starts..I myself start pmsing (actually I have pmdd but that's a bit different) and mine starts between 11-14 days before I start and subsides about the second day of my period. | |

| PMS, period, etc... Posted: 5/26/2006 8:47:35 PM | We don't hide it ~ most find it endearing in the beginning. "Oh, let me rub your feet for ya." "Can I get you anything?" And then after about the 12th time of this, no more feet rubs, no more going to store at midnight for chocolate ~ it's "My God, again?????" And for the record ~ I dated one man with PMS three weeks a month. It was no picnic. The moodiest chic I know is a man.  | |

Now, I am by no means demeaning those experiences, nor can I relate to it. I'm sure if men went through it, we would be "temperamental," too.
I dunno OP I have seen and read some of Your posts and it seemed to Me, You were PMSing.I don't think Women can be singled out on this PMS thing.Men can do it too | |
