Thread: Are all Women Crazy?

It was a gorgeous day here in North Florida, around 75 degrees by lunch time. I was supposed to go out with my girlfriend and run some errands together. I find her crying the the spare bedroom. We live together. I can't talk to her when she's like this. Everything is my fault. We wind up getting into this big argument over Stupid S**T. She leaves, I jump on my Harley, again beautiful outside today and for a ride. Would you believe when I left, The one thing I was worried about, My 20 or so razors sitting on the bathroom counter. I put my best ducks in the safe. You know how vindictive women can get. I was hoping she didn't get home first and do the old, " I'll show him". Anyway, When I got back she was in the spare bedroom. I hope she stays in there. Thank God I'm not married to her.

Anyone need a roommate?

Man, I can relate more than you even know! In answer to your thread's title: Yes.

+1, how close she is to her cycle can unleash the hormones that will screw with her emotions, even the most sane woman is subject to this.

Good point, I didn't think about her cycle and crazy female hormones....

to answer your question....yes

After exhaustive scientific investigations, I have discovered all women are one, all, or any combination of these three things. However, All women possess at least one of these attributes:
1. Crazy
2. Stupid
3. Ugly

I think we all (aka men and women) have our crazy moments, but if you go at it from a logical point of view, these things typically can be 1) seen from a mile away, and 2) avoided.

First, get scientific. Figure out when she actually has periods, then track what happens to her moods before, during, and after.

Next, figure out what weapons you have that can protect you. I typically invest in a $4 bar of dark chocolate at Wal-Mart (believe me, it's an investment). Studies have shown that dark chocolate in particular reacts with our brain the same way sex does, but especially in women. If it's a really tough one, I pick up some flowers too.

Last, assuming you did the above, just roll with it. Understand that the hormones produce some kind of weird psychosis and give her a break. Be charming, nice, and helpful for a week so she doesn't get mean and toss your razors. We all know what pushes our significant other's buttons- don't push 'em. Buy chocolate and/or ice cream as needed. Mine will apologize once she comes off it if she's been mean, plus give me some leeway when I get mean. It's win win.

Good points, and trust me, some day you gonna need that leeway, and you don't have hormone spikes to take the blame.
What I also can't really understand is why guys don't talk about stuff like periods and such with their girlfriends/wifes, but instead sit there and spy on them like it's the freakin' cold war. Just chat to her about it, ask questions and eventually she'll start to tell you about it. Helps you to know when it's not her fault she's angry or sad, and it helps her to know she has someone to talk to in case she wants to. Usually just that knowledge might be the thing that keeps a temporary blues from becoming something bigger.

AND just in case, stock up on chocolate and ice-cream. It might seem a bit chauvinistic to think that all women needs to stay happy is a bit of sugar and cocoa, but it actually seem to help...

Most definitely! I talk with mine about almost every time. I don't get why it can't be a topic of conversation. I know guys that won't even mention the word tampon. Those guys are in for a world of hurt when it comes to talking about finances if something like a period is taboo

EDIT: It's not chauvinistic at all. Don't say "here, you're being a bi*ch, have some treats". My typical line is "hey, I got you a present" or "I picked us up some ice cream while I was at the store. I thought we could have some tasty dessert". It's all in the delivery.

Yeah, but you don't know how many feminists that have yelled at me for saying that chocolate is a great upper for women. And for what it matters, I don't really know what would happen to me if I used the first line on my girlfriend, except that you would probably find my head quite a bit away from my body.

As for asking "What's the matter?" etc. it's still usually a good strategy, you get your earful quicker, and then it's over with. Otherwise you might get a quite bigger beating later for not paying attention etc.
Luckily my gf is quite great on this particular point, I can't remember her ever yelling at me. Life's good!
