Here we go! If I confuse you, my deepest apologies. I confuse my self 99% of the time. Just sit back, relax, and try to understand my method to our madness.
Let's start out easy. All guys have questions about the infamous menstrual cycle, or, as we girls like to refer to it, our period. Just to let you know, we have many nick-names for this process of so-called nature. IE: The Curse, the big red one, the "X", and the slightly more outdated people still call it our "visit from Aunt Flo", and many, many more. you try to figure them out.
Once a month, we go through a few days or even a week or so of PMS. Needless to say, it makes us horrible! We are snappy, angry with the world, and overall just crabby. So, if out of the wildest blue we yell or snap @ you for no reason, the most likely reason is because we have our little friend visiting. Please, don't be angry or think we hate you, because we don't. We hate our PMS. Trust me, none of us enjoy it! The cramps, the migranes, the noise, blahddy blah blah blah... you get the picture. Oh, and most of all NEVER EVER ASK US IF WE HAVE OUR PERIOD. I mean, WOW! It is not pretty. It will just make us bite your heads off faster, and you will not like it. Neither do we! Please, just refrain from doing that. *shudders*
Ahhhh, shopping. Why do some of us derive so much joy from it? For some, nothing is better than going to the store with a plethora of greens or a wad of plastic. For others, it is a h-e-double hockey sticks hole. Some of us do it to relieve stress, others simply because we love dressing up and having cute accessories, and the perfect outfit for any occasion. And still others only shop once a year or so simply because they have to wear clothes because it's against the law to go nude... too bad! Some think nothing of it and just do it. It's girl thing, kids...don't question it. It's hard for even us to explain.
Next, to a little dicussed topic: the 'rents, or, parents. If we like ya enough to introduce you to the egg and sperm doners, then be flattered. But be polite! Shake my dad's hand, and make it a firm shake. Dad's don't like guys who shake like their hand was a limp, dead fish. Don't use too much slang, speak like you know the English language. They will be impressed, and so will we. Making a good impression on our parents is always a good step.
Finally, to men. Oh, men. How we love and adore you, yet how we can't stand you sometimes. So many women like so many different types of men... but don't EVER feel like you have to change yourself with us. Always be yourself, because sooner or later, we'll find out if you're acting, and we won't like it... but most of us will forgive you. But don't use that as your guideline!
And don't be afraid to ask. A LOT of us are outgoing and booksmart. Don't be intimidated, and don't think that you aren't good enough. We like guys who aren't afraid to like us, and are straightfoward with us. But not too straight forward. Don't come out and say "I wanna have wild sex with you." That would offend a lot of us. And be sensitive. Some girls like really sensitive guys, others like guys who are just so.
We like to see that guys are aware of our feelings. If we look like we're sad, ask us what's wrong. And don't treat us like we're just sex objects, or things, and not really people. We HATE that! We are people and we have opinions. So treat us with a little respect, please, and we will bestow the same curtosy upon you.
That is only the beginning! Guys, post all your questions here. And Gals, post your thoughts on we female-types here! Hopefully we can give a few people a better understanding of us.
*NOTE* This is with the help of some of the posts at Razz. I can't decipher my own mind, which many may know...or find out..
