PMS
 

Good Loady Woady!

Before the relationship that I am in now I would usually only date a girl for a couple of months, but now that I have been dating the same girl for damn near two years I finally see what e'rybody was talking aboot.
What should I do with my girl while see is PMS'ing all over the damn place?

run... as far away as you can.......

strap on a dildo and go downtown...

no don´t do that.
just be a good man. time, tenderness and space are all essentials that must be given.

in those days :
avoid eye contact and walk slowly backwards,
only talk when asked a direct question
j/k

every now and then it can lead to pretty intense situations.
what gets me trough is the knowledge that it's just hormones speaking, and that she is in worse trouble than me in those moments.

What bundy said. Pay attention to her. Well, wait... Sometimes us girls will say "Leave me alone!" when we really mean "Come over here and rub my back!"

We're complecated creatures, what can I say?

try not to take any abuse personally - it'll pass.

DO NOT suggest that she's being a bitch 'cause of pms. that's something that she can admit in a moment of hormone ebb, but you are not allowed to say.

Lay low. Don't make any sudden moves. Pamper her a bit. Understand that it's not personal. Be sympathetic without being condescending.

There are few things worse than knowing you're irrational and being able to do ---nothing--- about it, especially if you know you're directing irrational emotions at someone you care about.

Be careful and don't say anything you can't take back. She will remember in microscopic detail anything derogatory that you might say.

If you are really lucky, she will kind of remember any nice thing you do for her or say to her during this time.

Try to remember that we are guys and our mouths sometimes start without asking the brain first.

Key word there : Sometimes

Replace the word Grizzly with Girlfriend in the following article.

Grizzly Attacks - Know What to Do
The best way to deal with a grizzly attack is to avoid it altogether. However, if you encounter a grizzly we have a few tips that may just save your life. First, when hiking or walking through grizzly country it is recommended that you make some noise either by talking or singing. Many say to carry a bell and ring it periodically as you walk to alert any bear in the area of your presence. Grizzlies will typically hear the noise and move away to avoid contact. However, if you encounter a grizzly it is best to stay calm and keep your distance. Slowly back away talking in a steady firm voice. Do not challenge the bear by making direct eye contact. Also, look around for a tree to climb as adult grizzlies don't climb trees. Never run-even if the bear is charging because he will view you as something to run after. A Grizzly can run over 35 miles an hour, so it is unlikely you can out run him. If the bear approaches and there is more than one person, stand together, raise your hands above your head, wave your coat, holler, shout-anything to make you appear larger and stronger. If an attack is inevitable, drop to the fetal position, bring your knees up to your chin, lock your hands behind your neck, lock your elbows together in the area of your cheeks to protect your face-lay very still-play dead. You are viewed as a threat and playing dead gives the bear reason to believe that the threat has been removed. There are also some pepper sprays that can serve as repellents, but these are typically used as a last resort and are certainly not full proof. If you carry a bear repellent spray be sure that you can get to it quickly. You may only have a few seconds. Good Luck and be careful out there. Bear Claw

I just don't understand all of the yelling and crying.

And you never will. Don't try to ;)

I don't get like that. Occassionally I might get snappy but I don't go the crying route. It'll pass, might just be best to stay out of her way.

Yeah, and never ever EVER call her a bitch. Then you'll just be asking for an ass kicking.

< rant >

Gah.. My wife cops an attitude with me if I come home from work a little moody, yet I am expected to walk on eggshells when she is PMS'ing? I still do, but I don't have to like it. Self preservation I suppose. Of course, if I were to bring up the situation when she tells me to stop being so fricken moody, I would probably get beaten down.

< /rant >

Thankfully she's pretty level-headed most of the time, but once in awhile .. yikes.

Even when she is having a bad day, just stay out of the way. I normally hang out at work later or stay in my office at home and it clears up. She will often thank me for it afterwords.

When my wife is PMSing, I find that a very effective tactic is to look at her and say, "What the fuck is <i>your</i> problem?"

I'm now on a first name basis with the ER doctors and nurses.:p

If it's that bad, just lay low for a while.

I'm thankful my g/f doesn't PMS very badly.

I have been with my wife for almost 6years. When she is PMS'ing I just ask what the hell is going on. I am a very calm person. When I ask this she knows it's because she is being a total BITCH and need to go to sleep or do something away from me. So far its worked for almost 6 years.

comunication will heal us all, thats it :P just talk to her and know when its gonna happen so u be ready

pms is the debil

Be nice to her... Take her away on a lovely holiday... Say a Safari tour in Africa.

While you're there steal one of those tranquiliser dart guns that the game wardens use on charging Rhinos.

:D

Best advice ever :p

your screwed. live with it.
if you ignore 'em they bitch
if you try and love 'em they bitch
best you can do is try and stay out of the line of fire.

-->side note: my wife and daughter are on the same cycle, stay away from my house when the end of the month rolls around.

just don't piss us off that week <i>every</i> damn month. you think it's FUN for us? think again fucko!

end of story.

Why do they call it PMS????


Cuz mad cow desiese was already taken!







Sorry, I just read that on the humor board, and couldnt help myself.

Jebus, I nearly spilled my beer because of you!

Bernadette, Ok, I'll give you that, but when the hell can I be moody for no reason once a month?

You should, just to make things even. Equal rights you know? Just be a total dick once a month for no reason. That'll show 'em.


I kid, of course

If you decide to go that rout, just make sure its not the same week are hers.....

Otherwise we may be able to see the explosion clear across the country...

OK, may I offer a few serious suggestions?

Try to "rise above it".

Learn her monthly cycle and know when it is PMS time and when it is her being upset for some other reason.

When it is PMS, no matter now angry or personal she gets, pretend like she is yelling at some really ugly picture pasted to your forehead that looks nothing like you. That is a good way of not taking it personally but if you have some other way, go with it.

Do not pay attention to the *content* of what she is saying. No matter how much it sounds like she is compaining about something specific, she isn't.

Do not react to the content. Pretend she is yelling in a foreign language that you do not understand. React only to the emotion.

*If* you can be a rock and withstand any hurricane she throws at you, she will really love you for it and might just admit it.

Bonus points: when she yells at you, hug her and tell you that you love her. It will throw her off stride at first but she will probably like it. It might even cause her to forget what she was yelling about.

Well, considering that a womans body chemistry shifts towards that of a man when she is PMSing, I generally go for the no sympathy appproach.

If she has cramps, then I will give her a back rub or a massage. If she is irritable, I will try to stay on her good side. But sooner or later enough is enough and it's time to give a dose of STFU.

I try very hard to be a good boyfriend, but that does not include being 'emotionally abused' by a hormone crazed woman. :)

I remember a story of my uncle saying something similar to his ex wife....He ended up with a set of keys in his forehead.


She was a bitch all the time tho...

I feel so bad for my boyfriend when i have pms.. most of the time i don't even realize i'm being crazy until it's too late.. it does seem unfair that men have to endure this once a month but for most women it is a hormonal thing that they can't control.. so just be patient and try not to make her cry!

Hide behind the metal bars of your cage and fling your feces at her. She can't get at you without unlocking the door if you stay back from the bars. If she opens the door in her red fueled rage, fling your daily rations of water and molded bread at her and make a break for it. You might not make it but she at least knows that she can take your freedom, but never your heart.

Alwas does the trick for me.

Re: PMS
 

some practical advise for you pal, Use some lightly scented aroma oil (you have to find out her likelys in advance), and massage her uterus (just above pandora's box) and don't push down too hard,

worked like a magic, this is coming from the ladies' man himself
