Why do guys automatically assume this? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Today at school I was in a really bad mood and my friend Rachel asks me why I'm so upset and my friend Zach said "It's probably that time of the month, rachel, just leave her alone." Why do guys assume that just because a girl's in a bad mood that she's on her period?

Michael [hXc] · 05-13-2004, 09:11 PM

It's that way around here too. One of my friends is upset because the boy she likes doesn't even care about her. They liked each other in second grade and now they met again but she's upset because he doesn't care about her or even remember her. She's been in a bad mood lately, but I don't think it is anything. Why have you been upset lately?

I've been upset about alot of stuff, mainly school and all the pressure.

Because it's something they can bust our balls about because they don't have to go through it.

And they like to take advantage of that as often as possible.

Okay, are you now not stereotyping guys?

haha. i can tell when my friend (actually my ex-friend.. i hate her but shes trying to be my friend again because she feels sorry for me after she found out how much she's hurt me and my social life, but frankly i dont give a **** and she can go to hell for all i care) is on her period cause she acts so damn cranky at the same time every month. about a year ago she said i was "gay" and that i copy everyone. im not gonna go into detail but to make a long story short she has deliberately copied people and i haven't. and her reasoning was pretty ****ty too.

LOL...

Women are AWFULLY annoying at times. Forget that, they are annoying a LOT.

Wow, I feel like I'm in the episode of "Designing Women" where they're locked up in the cabin 'cuz of snow.

(If you don't know this episode, sorry.)

It's not just guys who assume this. My Mom does this too. If I'm cranky it's always "Do you have your period or something?" It really bugs me. I mean heavens forbid I have reagular, ordinary, non-period related bad mood once in a while.

dawsongirl · 05-14-2004, 02:16 AM

Because guys are ignorant and don't feel like digging too far into a woman's personality to find a real reason.

robyrob · 05-14-2004, 07:03 AM

now if I am in a bad mood, and someone asks why, I'm going to say that its just my time of the month.

if all guys started doing this, would it help dispel this problem, or make it worse?
