Period.

Women have their periods. It’s nothing to be ashamed of ladies. It happens every month like clock work for most women, and quite honestly, is extremely annoying. Adding to the annoyance of a period is when men think they know everything about the menstrual cycle and blame everything on PMS (premenstrual syndrome).

Men can be just like periods. They can be annoying, cause aches and pains, cause headaches, cause anxiety or panic, cause confusion, cause poor judgment, cause depression, and low self-esteem. The funny thing about it is, a period only comes once a month for about 5 to 7 days and then leaves, but men seem to never want to disappear, even when you want them to.

The menstrual cycle has never been known to appear in the same “flow” every time. Women’s flows can differ from heavy, light, irregular, medium, happening bi-monthly, happening every month, happening four times a year, to just straight up non-existent. There is not such a thing as normal menstruation because every woman is different.

Just like the menstrual cycle differs from time-to-time in women, men also fall into the category of being different toward their women.

An irregular period might just be the most annoying period of them all because you never know when it’s coming and how it’s going to act. Is it going to be heavy or light? Maybe medium? An irregular man is the same way. Is he going to be heavy or light? Maybe medium? His presence will not be known until he arrives, just like an irregular period.

Even though women may hate their periods, they have to love their period when they know what to expect. A period that comes every month at the same time and is always the same is easy to handle. When men are not out of control and women know what to expect, then it’s easy sailing. What’s not to love from something that is expected and is controllable?

A heavy period is one that sits right up top with being the most annoying. Only the ladies can understand what we go through. It can be one of the biggest disturbances any woman can go through. Without getting too graphic, it sometimes seems like it will never stop. The heavy man can also become annoying. Just like a heavy period doesn’t a heavy man seem like he will never stop getting heavier no matter what you do. Tell him to stop eating, he won’t listen. Tell him to go work out, he won’t listen. He only wants to do what he wants to do and enjoy his cycle of life.

The light period is one that many women can enjoy. It is very low maintenance, inexpensive, and easy to manage. The light man is easy-going, headache-free, and controllable. Ahhh… The light man, what a blessing.

The life of the menstrual cycle can last for many years until menopause is present and then your period is terminated. The life of a man is present until you decide you want to terminate him.

Menopause will terminate a period when it feels like doing so. It can take many years for that to happen, but men can be terminated at any given moment.
