Dudes. Women bleed. Every month. If you are not educated in a woman’s cycles, you obviously weren’t paying attention in fifth grade and you are definitely not ready for marriage. Here are some things you need to know.
1. Mood Swings: Don’t speak to her when her face is in a permanent scowl. Or when she’s deathly silent and not responding at her normal pace.
Suggestion: Stay away from her. Don’t offer help but always be available to help. Give her space and you’ll save your face.
2. Cramps: Don’t undermine her pain. Cramp pains are unbearable at times. They are capable of immobilizing her. Other times, the pain is a constant burden that she’ll carry with her.
Suggestion: Offer her Midol, chicken soup and take on a few of her chores or errands. Chances are, her body is worn out during the cramps and would truly appreciate the help.
3. Pharmacy Runs: Don’t be shocked if she sends you on a pharmacy run for pads or tampons (yes, I said it). There are times when she’s in pain or too worn out to go out.
Suggestion: Man up and just go buy her the exact brand and specification she requests and do not buy the wrong brand.
So there you have it, dudes. Don’t say I never helped you in your efforts to become a better man. Of course, every woman is different. Not all of them have cramps and not all of them are moody. They’re all unique, sensitive and beautiful creatures.
Handle with care.
