Study finds ovulation clues


TLDR: Men find ovulating women more attractive, women find them threatening.

That's really interesting and doesn't surprise me one bit. I know for myself, when I'm ovulating, I wake up feeling like a goddess and my confidence levels are through the roof (even if I'm not always aware why or what's causing it right away), so no doubt others would be able to pick up on that. It's kind of funny other women would find it threatening though lol.

It all makes perfect sense. Men are pulled to ovulating women, whether their partners or not. And since they can impregnate them all (in theory, of course, though some NBA players seem to have tried to populate the Earth by themselves), they are drawn to them and biology works its magic.

And for women, they need to protect their territory, instinctively. Other women are threatening to their turf.

It really stands on its head those who think men and women are basically identical and should act the same. The basic biological differences shape us so much, independent of our conscious desires. And we often think we are acting rationally, when we are acting purely biologically.

I always did find it fascinating that women who work together tend to cycle together once they had been together long enough. It is as if our bodies pick up these signals and start enacting changes and we are unaware of the it.

Ultimately, I think we are just still very ignorant of the true capabilities of the human mind and body and have a very long way to go until we are really enlightened.

i dunno if it's when i'm ovulating or just random time of the month but i usually crave food that makes me sick either because it actually gives me a stomach ache (like milk based foods) or the texture its self makes me throw up.

Hahaha or rappers, don't forget about their attempts to have as many babies as possible!

I agree with you. Inherently we function quite different and there's no point in trying to say we're equal. We should have similar opportunities for sure, but equality to me implies sameness and we don't really have that. Like you said, biology in itself sets a pretty different standard and there's no point in fighting it.

It's a really strange phenomenon (the in sync cycle) but maybe it's what levels out the playing field to some degree, so we're not all on the prowl at the same time?

Here's another neat article that sort of relates, talking about how women prefer different types of men during different parts of the cycle.

Is it time of the month specific? I find I do eat more when I'm ovulating, but maybe it's because my body is trying to build itself up for babies.

yes. that's my theory as well, its like oh you want babies and my brain is like no and it's like yes you do, i'll start preparing for baby and my brain is just it's like that stubborn old person that insists you like asparagus even though you can't stand it and finally your like fine i like asparagus just to get them to shut tup.

Maybe that's why the wife likes it when I'm bearded and slightly unkempt. However, when we were dating/courting, I was much more...I don't want to say metro, but very clean shaven and better groomed (although I've always erred on the side of shaggy and unwashed), probably more cute in a boyish way than in a manly butch way, at the time.

Judge, it is my biological urge, I can't help myself! defense.....

Right. Only my embracing certain uncomfortable truths about things life biology can we actually free ourselves from these issues. As long as we pretend we are above all of this, we will act without violation.

Yes, it is fascinating. How is a poor guy supposed to be all these different types for his SO? He needs to adapt constantly, and most likely will still screw it up, lol....

This uterus is getting ready for babies whether you like it or not!
(That's our bodies.)

After I read that article I can say I for sure agree with the findings, and have seen it in other women as well. I was always confused why at times I find men that are well groomed attractive, while at other times I like manly guys, but this now makes sense. Damn biology...

Hahaha it is a fair argument though, even if it sucks for the other person (people).

I think we're a little too caught up in eradicating or at least completely denying what nature has given us, hence why I see male female relationships becoming such an awkward thing. There is nothing wrong with people accepting a degree of that biology (obviously we're not animals here but still), especially not when it isn't harmful to others. Unfortunately the PC police are always there to smack people down for even mentioning that maybe, potentially there are some differences between men and women, because god forbid that's sexist?

Yes, it is fascinating. How is a poor guy supposed to be all these different types for his SO? He needs to adapt constantly, and most likely will still screw it up, lol....

Lol sometimes I think men can never really win with us and I truly feel sorry for them, even though I'm part of the problem lol.

So when all the red pill men finally get their obedient wifesexbots, I wonder if they'll have settings that cause the bots to exhibit faked cycles?

No, they will just be bored to death......

Ovulation is a myth

So when I get this it must be ovulation by association.

About threatening, do you find other women becoming "catty" with you?

Not me, they don't have Wi-Fi.

I'd have to look at the original study to see if meaning was compromised when converting the findings into layman's terms or if a subsequent author(s) actually took liberty when presenting the findings... But while it's been scientifically debated for sometime now whether women are significantly "more attractive" when ovulating or merely "less attractive" when bloated, tired and menstruating...

It seems like bad science to conclude ovulating women are more threatening to other women based on the measures presented in the article. If the question is "which female is more likely to steal your man"...I'm assuming most women would choose the photograph of the more bright-eyed, fresh-looking female that didn't down an entire pint of ice cream the night before. This says absolutely nothing with regards to actual feelings of being threatened in anyway and it's ridiculous to make such a leap.

**this is what happens when the cosmetic industry funds research

Scientists are just now figuring this out? They need to get out of the lab more. I've known this since shortly after puberty.

If the people "out there" are reverting to cave man behavior, I'll stay put - thanks.
