| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 10:21:19 AM | What is it with women that they insist on talking about their bodily functions. EG: toilet activities and the colour of their urine or how heavy their periods are. I was talking to a girl quite recently and I thought , " Awgh, she's beautiful, I want to marry her" then she started telling me about her irritable bowl syndrome. WHY...????
By the end of the conversation I'd gone from seeing her as some kind of princess to feeling totally repulsed and close to vomiting. I know we all have bodily functions but I choose not to think about it much less discuss it. For me it just kills the romance and mystery.
What are your views guys ? Am I being a bit prissy or does it send you running for the hills also ? Ladies are you one of those afflicted by this urge to tell all and sundry about your periods and such like ? If so, why do you feel the need ? Please enlighten me..... | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 10:26:08 AM | Don't have them so cant discuss them. (periods)
But i do agree, it must be offputting for a bloke. It isnt something that men need to know about at dating stage, maybe if in a relationship might be an idea to be warned if a woman suffers with PMT! so you know when you should duck!
I never suffered with it personally but my daughter and grand daughter do and jaysus!! i dont visit for fear of getting murdered for looking at them wrong! | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 10:29:21 AM | Eerrmm never felt the urge to talk lady fluids to a male very often to be honest though i have been told i suffer from verbal diarrhoea does that count ?
OP on another note does that mean that you would be unlikely to make a sunday morning dash to the garage to buy tampax? | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 10:30:46 AM | It would depend on how far into a relationship you were........if it was a first meeting and she started telling you about her IBS , I'm surprised you lasted the whole date .........maybe after a few dates i'd mention it only because I know one of the side effects is a gurgly tummy so you might be thinking I was fluffing I don't think I've ever felt the need to discuss my other bodily functions with anyone
I did have a date with a guy , actually we had 3 dates in all, it was on the final date he felt the need to tell me that as a child he'd had a problem with his teeth, and that only about 8 of them were his own.......... from that moment on all I could visualise was me waking up next to a glass with dentures in......... | |
|
| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 10:31:52 AM | I'd say if she's telling you about her IBS when you had only just met, she didn't see you as boyfriend material, more a friend (or was deliberately trying to put you off!).
I talk about things like that only when I'm with friends, or when I've been with a man a while and we're comfortable with each other. Not really sort of small talk on a first meeting, or a first date. | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 10:37:54 AM | A lot of women have a strange compulsion to define themselves by their ailments ,iv only been to the doctors 3 times in my life ,and the surgeries are full of women .
I don,t want to hear about anyone's irritable bowel ,I'm fully versed on the subject as my mum gives me a update on her bowel every time I go around to see her ,sigh | |

Kath if I knew in advance that it was that time of the month the situation wouldn't arise as I wouldn't have invited her back. Oh dear, that sounds a little callous. I hope I haven't given you the right impression .
I'd say if she's telling you about her IBS when you had only just met, she didn't see you as boyfriend material, more a friend (or was deliberately trying to put you off!).
If that was the case then she read me perfectly. It worked a treat So ladies, if your ever in the unfortunate position of being chatted up by me , you know how to get rid of me double quick.  | |

But if a bloke was bragging about shagging a blow up doll...

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 11:35:27 AM | i think its fairly gross to talk about bodily functions male or female god i wont even take a pee in front of my partner!! prissy i know but i just cant........ he(my partner ) on the other hand always tells me what hes going for when going to the loo ,im sure he does it to wind me up , but it has resulted in my 2 yr old telling me that he is"just going to try a poo" yeurgh  | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 1:15:55 PM | Ha ha, will talk about most of this with my girlfriends (friends who are girls!!!) but OP wait til they want to tell about the most horrendous, most lengthy, most medically amazing child birth experience they have had. Now that's awful...
Also there's a guy I know who comes to where I work and I hate to say 'Hi, how are you?'. He's sooooooo frank, far far too much information about his piles (his doc has never seen anything like them), the mess made all over the house following him and his partner's sickness and diarrhea bug (exaggerated for effect), the state of his feet - I swear I will run if he even looks like he's going to show me..... Yick yick yick.... | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 1:28:47 PM | Maybe, after 20 minutes of listening to you going on about your ingrowing toenail and scratching your sweaty balls, she thought it would be ok????

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 2:20:09 PM | For good or bad I'm pretty much immune to most of these conversation topics, they're part of peoples' lives and it's what happens to them.
I draw the line at 'vomit talk' though! Yuk!  | |

And if the lady in question is lucky enough to fall asleep before this charming display of manhood...they certainly know about it after they get up before you next morning, pop a bit of concealer on to look better...then walk back into the bedroom....EEEWWWW..why oh why
And ALL men are like this....at least everyone I ever met...and my mates have met too

Schmoo xx Normally I steer clear of peops without pics - invariourably they are kangorillapigs or married.... However if you keep your disgusting girlie things away from polite conversation I will let you have the benefit of me - simply because I am very shallow and you appear to share your men around your friends! | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 3:07:26 PM | ^ ^ ^ ^ you never heard of kangorillapigs ??... even I know what one is, n I'm a bumpkin!!
OT: I have to tell you OP, that this thing we ladies do now, talking freely about our biological functions is a new thing and is born out of Women's Lib. For decades men have felt some kind of 'fear' regarding the workings of women's bodies and have been known to physically chuck up when being told about the monthly blood loss. My daughter's boyfriend, who is 35 is still not fully clued up on women's workings.. so we've a long way to go yet...
back in the 80's when I lived abroad, one of my friends was a girl from Kent called Lisa, she was a gob on legs and didnt give a monkeys what she said to whom.. and it was she who coined the following phrase when turning down an offer of a night out on the town by one our English men friends there : 'sorry I can't come out tonight, I'm on blob week'... ... the bloke's look of disgust was funnier than what she'd said.. | |
|
| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 3:23:06 PM | You know why this has happened OP and who is to blame.................
The "huggy" brigade........................
Share your feelings, don't keep it bottled up, be honest with yourself and your loved ones....
It's just that some people take it a bit to far................especially on the first date/early stages of a relationship.................. and want to share everything with you............including private and personal information that comes into that well know catagory "to much information, thank you"
It's the PC brigade who are to blame ................. (here's one I made earlier)  | |

| WOMEN TALKING BIOLOGY & BODILY FUNCTIONS Posted: 5/17/2008 3:46:15 PM | | Aye me Doctor is forever talking about bodily functions. Though I must admit to quite fancying the pants off her, until last time I went to see her and she stuck a finger oop me backside, dirty mare. | |

In my experience it's the men going on about their bodily functions - well one function in particular *sigh* (one rarely finds out about the haemorrhoids/IBS/varicose veins/false teeth, etc, until later) . . . that's the only time I might mention biology - wrong time of the month, sorry! | |

anyone else feel just a little nauseous right now?
Not me
Makes me chuckle that men like a woman talking about sex... but not of bowel movements or 'womanly' things. Both are just as biological as each other!! But with a man...talking about f@rts or what effect lasts nights curry has had on their sensitive little ring is compulsory  | |
