Things Men should NOT say to a Women. . .while she is Menstruating

Guys can be really insensitive when it comes to a lot of things, but the lack of sensitivity toward a women being on her menstrual time of the month is the most prevalent.  I just don't think that most men get it.  Us women are more susceptible to allowing things to get under our skin while we are on our periods and it's not our fault.  It's within our nature.  We were born like this.  So, I'm sure all you women out there have experienced at least one thing that your significant other has said to you that has really jerked you off, especially while you are going through that time of the month.  I don't know about all of you, but here are my top 10 list of things that have been either said to me or that I can think of that during my time of the month that have/would aggravate(d) me to no end.

"Don't use your period as an excuse" -  Tisk, tisk!  This one aggravates me the most.  Usually when a guy says this, they have done something or said something to instigate it.  Don't ask me to clean, cook, cater to you, NOTHING.  I don't feel good and I'm not in the mood.  It's only a few days, so either you can cook or we can go get some take-out.  Deal with it.  The house and everything in it will be there a few days from now, so it can wait!

"I can't stand when you're like this" -  Oh really?  Okay.  I can't stand when you're the way YOU are 24/7, but I deal with it because that's what LOVE is all about.  So, if you can't handle me at my WORST then you don't deserve me at my BEST.

"It's not that bad, so get over it" -  Don't even.  You have no clue what I'm going through, so don't pretend like you do.  Oh, how I wish I could just switch sexual organs with my boyfriend for a month or so, so he could understand just for a minute what it's like.  He wouldn't dare say that line ever again.

"No" -  The word "no" is just not in our vocabulary ever, but especially when it's that time of the month.  If we want something, you bet your ass that we're going to get it; come hell or high water.  I am women, hear me roar!  We want chocolate, wine, and whatever else may satisfy us!  If there is a perfect time to make us feel like a princess, that would be it.

"Well, since you're on your period, I'm going to go look at porn" - Great.  Thanks.  So, now I know that you lack the ability to control your testosterone for a few days. . .makes me feel so much better about my self-esteem that you feel the need to go look at some other broad besides your girlfriend whom you are in a committed relationship with.

This has always been a thing with me.  Some women don't care that their significant other looks at porn and granted, Jason has never said that line to me because he respects my perspective on the matter.  Don't get me wrong, I have given the idea a great amount of consideration and have just thought about brushing it off and not having a problem with it.  However, I just can't.  I'm aware that they're not technically cheating because they're not physically touching the women, but I'm pretty conservative when it comes to things like that.  I feel like a lot of men try to brain wash women into thinking that it should be okay for them to do it because they claim that it's just a stimulant to help them release their sexual temptations.  However, I feel like the release of sexual temptations should be completely reserved for your significant other and if you can't wait 3-5 days out of the month, shame on you!

Admittedly, (This might be a little TMI for some people reading this, but heck, I like to take risks) I don't look at porn because my man is satisfying enough and I can wait 3-5 days out of the month for him.  Ethically, I can't imagine looking at someone else's naked body and getting off to it because I would feel guilty.  My belief is that sexuality should be entirely reserved for your significant other.  I guess I'm old fashioned, but I'm completely fine with that and it's just my perspective of course.

"Maybe if you get up and move around, it wouldn't be so bad" -  Again, don't try to act like you understand how I feel.  There is no one that knows better about how I feel than myself.  If I feel like the best thing for me to do while on my period is to curl up into a ball and cry, let me.

"Oh, here we go with the Lifetime shows" -  Please.  Especially if I let you control the television 95% of the time, don't judge what I decided to watch during the other 5%.

"You don't look so good" -  Thanks.  You know how to make me feel oh so beautiful.  You wouldn't look so good either if you retained 15 lbs of water weight and didn't feel good either.  Do you really want to hear all the "detailed" reasons why I don't "look so good" as you put it?  No?  Then keep your mouth shut.

If this is how you act during your period, I can only imagine what you will be like when you're pregnant someday - That's life.  Go find some other women to have a baby with then if you think the grass is so much greener on the other side.

Number ten is the best because it basically just covers anything else a guy could possibly say to piss off a female while on her period.  Pretty much anything that you can say that is considered either teasing or a debate, just don't.  If you say anything along the lines of being considered teasing or a debate, you are just asking for it.  Just know that we will retaliate and I promise you, you won't like it.

Men, if you are reading this, please take this as a kind hint.  I wrote this post in good faith that you will take this advice as an true indication of what NOT to say to your women during her period.  If you aren't that bright, I'm sorry.  I will be sure to pray for you.

Hint:  The word "men" is in the term menstrual, so you should take that as an obvious clue to go run and hide until it's all over with.  Believe me, it's for your own good.
