JD™ Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Greetings jogged my memory on a theory of mine (although not just mine, I'm sure people have thought it before) about the existence of a male version of the menstrual cycle. Obviously we don't bleed (well, I don't anyway), but I've definitely noticed regular ebbs and flows in my mood over time and I've definitely noticed it in others too. Could be completely coincidental, but there's no reason that it couldn't be true. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I clicked no. I do have ups and downs but I couldn't say they were in any form of cycle. I reckon, it would be pretty likely a large portion of guys in relationships experience a backlash period, where by there partners mood reflects upon them without them realising it, even perhaps when they are not together at work etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Voted yes - I definitely have a few hungry and clumsy days each month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm a miserable unit of C. So I don't really notice changes in my mood. I don't think I get worse, but I definitely know that other people's moods affect me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 well, if I come to think of it, I guess I kinda do.. Quite a good idea to think of that actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I think men get them in sync with their womens. Waking up (off it): Man: "Morning, y'alreet?" Lass: "Aye peachy, stick the kettle on" Man: Waking up (on it): Man: "Morning, y'alreet?" Lass: "WHAT DID YOU WAKE ME UP FOR? WHY IS IT THAT TIME? WHY DOES YOUR FACE LOOK LIKE THAT? WHY IS THE SKY BLUE? MAKE COFFEE, BUT MAKE IT NICE THIS TIME!" Man: This is why being single is just better. I have spoken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my household if my woman asked me to "stick the kettle on" i'd kick her in the teeth. Down here it's "can you grind the beans and put the cafetiere on" and i'm always only too happy to oblige. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) My post above was about as serious as all my posts on here. The ex was nothing like that. EDIT: Just noticed how many posts I've done about the whole deal, maybe I'll stop now... Edited August 4, 2011 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) If you live with your Mrs or maybe even still with your mum, When Aunt Flow comes to stay everyone knows how shitty the moods can become. When my Mrs is in a shitty mood it puts me in one. it's a 'period' of time I don't look forward too. Edit: pretty much a less humourous version of What Muel said. Only just noticed it on the scroll back up. Edited August 4, 2011 by Luke Dunstan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I voted "no" I can't say I notice my mood change, I am pretty steady and it takes a lot to get me angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I went for yes because people do notice my mood change every week or so.. I'm a moody b*****d you see So yeah, man periods/queeriods exist in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsieurMonkey Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 The only time I'm in a bad mood when my bird is, is when she's not told me she's in a bad mood until I try something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 It wouldn't count for me as I am skyzophrenic and paranoid, so I didn't vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can see in that post is that you watch too many movies about skyzophrenia and you don't know what it really is. Have a nice evening.

Have a nice evening. This is ironic in a humorous way. (I understand he's French so there's a reason for it, but it's still irony.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
