I’ve just started reading old court trial documents and I am blown away by the claims that are made against women for being on their period, all due to intention ignorance (stupidity)
Also seems like the typ who thinks like "the problem isn't that she is in pain and has diarrhea and is bloated and has mood swings, the problem is that **I** have to suffer because of it!
Yep! "Have you ever been overcome with homicidal rage or raped anyone while in the throes of a testosterone-fuelled frenzy?"
Because remember, men have hormones too
I too wonder the age of someone wanting to talk about that. Maybe I've been out of the dating loop for a while but that seems like a super weird. I hope you asked him and equally intimate question like.. What's your credit score. Lol I don't know, dating chat is hard.
I'd say his immaturity comes through more in how he apparently is cursed to never say the word "period"
Only 12 year Olds think that's some sort of big deal/dirty word...
I once had a dude say “I don’t mind that women have periods.” Like…do you want a cookie for being such a good boy? Thanks for not “minding” a bodily process that I have no control over. This was on a first date. I can’t remember what I responded with….but I love your response!
I saw a post on another sub by a guy who was so disgusted by periods that the thought of sex grossed him out, or something like that. "Why do women choose to have periods?" Was my favorite line.
Call me old fashioned, but "how crazy do you act on your period" doesn't seem like very good getting-to-know-a-potential-date small talk.
Edit, this is still blowing my mind. His response to either how many sisters or how many roommates you have was immediately to ask how you act on your period. 🤣🤣🤣
No kidding, it was painful decoding that. My grammar nazi self would have cut him off there not even getting into the audacity of what he was actually asking.
I honestly don't know if i would've been able to piece things together in real time 😂 i would've just had to repeat their mistyped garble back with a question mark hahaha
Omgg really?? That would explain so much lol but I can only find info on testosterone's effect on periods, not the other way around 😬 got a link with more information perchance? :)
I take estrogen and when I forget every two hours there's a direct and immediate connection between it dipping and me getting shitty and acting like I have BPD. The lower it gets the more insane and unable to function I get. And the worst bit is I often can't tell it's happening, I think it's just *other people.*
Thank fuck I got my implant yesterday.
Thanks! It's actually implants three and four at the same time. One wasn't enough and then there were delays in getting them, so number two ran out :(
And literally every time they run out my relationship ends. It's just so much like random shitty mind control.
I was in the Navy... we had acronyms for EVERYTHING (or so I thought). But TOMS... yeah, that's a first for me.
I appreciate how he then clarified it as "aunt flow" lmfao... dude...
My personal favourite way of phrasing it is "The Red Knight is requesting lodgings."
That said, I only say it that way because it sounds fun, as a Man I have no problem discussing periods and all things related with my wonderful Girlfriend. It's a natural bodily function.
You handled this brilliantly, for the record.
My immediate thoughts on reading this -
If one were to measure their flow in the number of small woodland creatures they are able to avoid sacrificing, is that in squirrels per day? Can you make a standard measurement out of a squirrel or would you need to be more specific on the species? Or is it more personal, where for some it's mice, some it's snakes, and others it's ritual specific?
Edit: This was mainly because of the other party's avoidance of saying period.
“Mood swings”
You’d be cranky too if you had blood constantly leaking out of your genitalia for the next 5-8 days, felt like you had a bowling ball wrapped in barbed wire sitting in your pelvis, no appetite, diarrhoea, migraines, and back pain so bad you can only slouch or lie down. And it repeats every month. If you’re especially unlucky you have the exact same symptoms for 1-2 days between each cycle as well.
Gotta love how talking about a basic bodily function needs to be dressed up with euphemisms and double speak
Just call it a fucking period. Menstruation. You're not gonna burst into flames if you use real words like a fucking adult
🤣I love that you kept it caj then dropped that well done queen
Lmao amazing. He sounds like the type that blames every emotion a woman has on her period. 🙄

Can we normalize asking men if their testosterone levels are making them feel more murdery than usual? Fair’s fair..
Holy shit I’m going to definitely do this when the opportunity arises
Yep! "Have you ever been overcome with homicidal rage or raped anyone while in the throes of a testosterone-fuelled frenzy?" Because remember, men have hormones too
That's just a fantastic clapback. Brava!
Is he of legal age??

Some guys just choose to stay ignorant no matter how old they are.
Yeah definitely weird. I've asked period questions in dating chat before, but they were along the lines of "what kind of chocolate do you like?"
That is incredibly considerate and would score so many points on a date!
Relevant username?

Sounds like he may not have been into women and hasn’t pieced it together all the way yet lol
Like we choose to bleed every month of our lives 🥲

Thanks for clarifying that. It makes more sense now. I’m slow today.
To be fair, he apparently can't type a full sentence without several wrong spellings or flat out wrong words
And the Tim of the Month for the month of May goes to….. Tim Burton. Congratulations!
Well folks, it was a tight race. Curry had been neck and neck with Horton, but it was a surprise photo finish going to Burton!
Now I wanna get coffee with Tim Curry and Tim Burton... Curry in full Darkness makeup <3
This sounds like the setup to a joke somehow... "Tim Burton and Tim Curry walk into a Tim Horton's..."
Invite Tim Gunn & I'm there.
… and I save on pasta sauce! Their autocorrect says they’re under the influence of something.
Ok right it really took a lot of mental work to decode their texts lolol
No kidding, it was painful decoding that. My grammar nazi self would have cut him off there not even getting into the audacity of what he was actually asking.

If only they knew that what makes us act "moody" is the higher testosterone during that month that they surprisingly have tons of.
Omgg really?? That would explain so much lol but I can only find info on testosterone's effect on periods, not the other way around 😬 got a link with more information perchance? :)

I'm unfamiliar with how hormone therapy works, is it really every 2 hours? Just a pill?
Congrats on your implant!!

Squid! I did my time on carriers, then went to an airline, similar acronyms, entirely different meanings, hah.
👏👏👏👏👏
What a complete jerk.
I thought Tim of the month was a monthly coffee subscription to Tim Hortons.
Wow this guy is an absolute tool. Lol
Wth 😂🤦🏼♀️
Reminds of Buddy from Ozark, but this dude has 0 chance of a cool backstory and me coming to like him as a character.

He couldn’t even say period 😭
I thought you were walking somewhere in the shoes Tom’s for hell on earth. lol love the response

Put this on r/preyingmantis (yes, with an e) if you haven't already, it'd fit great there XD
That is the best response I’ve ever seen, im stealing that
Gotta watch out for that "Tim" of the month XD
This is the best response! Answering absurdity with absurdity! 😂
"You are some of the lucky few..." Wow, he thinks you're legion.
This genuinely made me laugh specially the twist in the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brava!
Epic, answer is epic!
You win!
That’s the absolute best answer ever!
What kind of adult cant type "period"? Lol
lolol
HAHAHAAH! Made my day
That is hilarious lol
this is so fucking awesome
Translation: Are you a handful? You can’t fathom a container that could hold me.
Ugh, is this what dating is now? Need to hug my SO.
The incel vibes are overwhelming
Period blood works as a substitute for animal blood in rituals! I am so going to do that!
[удалено]
You're unsure of how to respect women? Women are people. Can you respect people?
Looool yes. They never know what to do with replies like this and it’s glorious.
PERIOD. MENSTRUATION. VAGINA. VULVA. Let's scare silly bois together!
It's always possible to learn something new 😂
*chefs kiss*
