I discovered that girls are usually in bad mood/temper when they're on period.

I think a core question is being missed. How the HELL would he even know if a woman had her period or not ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

Maybe they all say they have theirs so they don't have to talk to him. Saying "I'm having my period" to some guys is like saying "I have leopracy"
well, to be honest, I'd file it under TMI, but not a big deal. It turns out that his basis for observation is that his new girlfriend was mean to him and had her period. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

"I want a free holiday but he is going to want to shag me and I dont want to and it will be uncomfortable when I have to tell him no again. How about I tell him I have my period and then he wont try anything and I can milk him all weekend long." Thats just a theory. She way very well be the kind of person that would not think that way and I hope she is but as I said to you before I suspect she is taking you for a ride. You could always ask her "how do you feel?" or "is somthing wrong?" Did she put her hand in her pocket at all? This is what you should do. Get her alone, look her in the eye and say "I like you very much, I want you to be my girlfriend". Do not, I repeat, DO NOT say I love you. Get it out in the open and get it over with. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear

This question reminds me of the fellow who lost his grandfather and someone responded with a comment of finding Jesus Christ otherwise there is "no hope." To lump females into one big category like this is completely unfair. At the same time, I took Mammilian Physiology in college and we studied the effects of hormones during the estrus cycle. If you studied what actually happens to the brain and body, it's no wonder why women are in a "bad mood." We are in pain, having hot flashes, bloated and nothing satisfies. Some women have to go on perscription medication because of the effects. I had to go on medication at 14 because of such cramping. Today I'm on a medication so I don't have my period at all and don't have to feel the horrible side effects. (Sorry if this is getting too personal for you all.) To just say, "Yep, period," and be done with it is not only insensitive but inhumane. Ask what you can do to make it better. Cold press for your head? Heating pad for your abdomen? Go to the store for ice cream? Your girl will feel better mentally and therefore physically if she knows you understand and care about the problem rather than just throwing your hands up in the air. That's my two cents worth, and no, you can't ask for change.

So, there is hormones changing during the period? This must be the scientific explanation I'm looking for. Thanks. :)

Yea, its true, and it has scientific evidence. Hormones called estradiol and progestrone play vital role in it. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstrual\_cycle for more information

Yeah. So when it's period time, run for the hills.

I'm trying not to be harsh here when I say: DUH!!! However, given the stuff you've mentioned before, I can't help but think you are a contributing factor to her bad mood.

That sound you hear is the sound of the fluffy tigress's claws extending to their full, 8" length in preparation for giving you a colostomy. Via your face. Without anesthesia, I might add.

Maybe that was his way out of avoiding being responsible for her mood? Did she actually say that? The tigress is here :-D

Indeed there is, and you're lucky to have asked here at the CodeProject lounge because I am the only person in the world who knows the true answer. You see, over the course of human history there have been a significant number of male homosapiens with intellectual capacities insufficient to allow for efficient and effective interaction with his external surroundings. The side-effects of said condition include the inability to form and execute hunting formations with fellow homosapiens, the inability to convey considerate and meaningful statements to others, and more. Considering the disadvantage this condition imposes on the male and, indirectly, the rest of the species, Nature has provided a way to prevent those males from procreating. Being the subtle genius Nature is, the solution lies nestled deep within the females of the species. Periodically the females will enter a state of extreme discomfort, which can lead to brief agitation and other types of irritation. The males afflicted with the above mentioned condition will expose their problem via making obnoxious and (inevitably, stupid) comments about the mood of the female during this period. The female, upon noticing this rash behavior, is armed with the knowledge that she has accidentally taken with an undesirable mate, and prompty terminates further contact with the afflicted. Josh

He said that she said that. The key points IMO are: First that one woman tells him once she has a period and from that he surmises the nature of all females, and Second, it seems likely to me that she was grumpy for other reasons, and probably told him she had her period to discourage him from getting any ideas.
