Why do women's periods regulate around each other when they live together?

Answer 1

It's just another of those cosmic curses we men have to endure at the hands of women.

I remember that one time I was hiking in a remote part of the Alps and I fell down a ravine. I was in a bad way and lost consciousness. Just before the darkness overtook me, I thought, "this is it Oliver". No more will the world be able to behold your awesome beauty and those mythological bum cheeks.

What I didn't reckon for was the Austrian Feminist Party on their annual trek into the mountains. Apparently they have some unusual flower up there that grows high in the peaks and if picked at the right time of year and ground into a paste, can take away chest hair for months at a time. You can see why they consider it a sought after commodity.

Anyway, they must have discovered my prone body. Now, any other man would have been left to perish for sure, while they cackled in delight, but even battered, bruised and out for the count, there's something about my profile that can bring out the latent femininity within and so they picked me up and yodelled all the way back to their spartan dormitory in the woods.

When I finally woke up, I realised that I really was in a bad way and would have to remain there for at least a week. I thought, "Okay, sure, these flannel shirted she-men aren't the best looking creatures in the world, but at least you're alive and you'll be able to tolerate them for a few days".

Boy, was I in for a shock...

Yep, you guessed it folks, one of them started having her period. I really didn't think feminists HAD periods up until this point and refused to believe it. I even dismissed the signs on the first night when I heard her howling at the moon. I thought, "she's Austrian. They have strange ways". It was only when I awoke the next day and realised that it had spread throughout the group that the full horror of my situation dawned on me...

I could hear the heavy breathing at the door and there they were, all 20 of them, staring right at me and frowning so deeply that I thought their foreheads were going to turn inside out. You must remember folks that I had only ever been used to looks of pure lust and longing from women in the past and so this only heightened the terror that was now coursing through my veins. Of course, these were no longer women. Its open to debate that they ever WERE women, but now there was no mistaking it; they were fully fledged, blood sucking harpies from Hades and I knew that if I did not get out of there pronto that I'd be experiencing another near death experience very shortly.

They were edging their way closer; hunched over and fangs protruding. There was the faint sound (blood curdling, I should add) of "men... hate men", "men... hate men", being chanted over and over in the background and every now and again, one of them would extend out one of their chunky 'arms' and claw in my direction.

I desperately looked from left to right, to see if there was anything that could aid me in my peril. There was no way even in my normal super human condition that I'd have been able to fight off this band of hissing she-devils.

With my heart pounding right out of my chest and with them only inches away from the bed, I took a one in a million chance and heaved the duvet covers over them and with a second almighty effort, hurled my body through the window to my side. All I could hear was shattering glass and the screams of the demonesses in the background - insane with rage at their lack of a kill - as I plummetted down the hillside and into the valley below.

Once again broken, I was thankfully rescued by some scared looking men and hidden away to heal in an underground cellar for the next few months. It was during the recovery period that these poor, timid guys expounded all their knowledge and prepared me for the real world.. The world we live in...

THE WORLD OF THE MENSTRUATORS!!!

1. I don't feel there is anything wrong with sex before marriage at all. Like you stated, marriage is just a ceremony and a certificate. And purity rings; I haven't built an opinion on them because they are the person's own decision. 2. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is something that when started, I was very young. I still have very little understanding of it now to be honest. It seems like it has gone on far too long. 3. Assisted suicide is again, someones own decision. I don't think that euthanasia should be used spontaneously at all. It should be thought about for an incredibly long time and the person should really be quite ill and in very bad pain. 4. I'm pro-choice. Women should be allowed to make this decision. It is their own body and they should have a right to do whatever they wish. 5. I am completely 100% for gay marriage. I see no difference (excluding gender) between homosexual and heterosexual relationships and marriages at all. 6. There should definitely be an age limit on IVF. You have a child at 70 and then get very ill at an elderly age = the child doesn't get their parents love for long enough. It doesn't seem fair at all.

Answer 3

thinker is right - I saw a programme on this once and this exactly what the scientist think. I work with four other women and over time, our periods have gradually regulated to the same time - wierd!.

Answer 4

Because the menstrual cycle is cleverly controlled by different chemicals and in a natural world, procreation is more successful when a male can work his way through several women at the same time

Answer 5

Good question.
I honestly do not know.
There is one advantage though.
At least the moods will be at same period (lol).
Then everybody can be nice and enjoy each other's company after that.

Answer 6

I don't believe this is true actually. I have never met any females who have or do live with other females that this happens to.
