Hey guys, let’s talk. 👀
You’ve probably heard words like “flow,” “cramps,” or “that time of the month” and thought, “Yikes—what do I do with this info?” Or maybe you’ve stayed quiet because you didn’t want to say the wrong thing. But guess what? Understanding menstruation doesn’t make you weird—it makes you smart, supportive, and seriously cool.
Let’s break it down, guy-to-guy style.
🩸 So… What Is Menstruation Anyway?
Menstruation (aka a girl’s monthly cycle) is when her body sheds the lining of the uterus if she doesn’t get pregnant. It usually happens once a month, lasts 3–7 days, and yes—there’s bleeding involved. It’s completely natural and not gross, weird, or shameful.
💥 Why Should You Care?
Because menstruation affects:
- Your sisters 👧
- Your girlfriend 💕
- Your classmates, teammates, future daughters, and friends
When you understand it, you:
- Stop awkwardness ✅
- Show real maturity 💯
- Make the world safer for girls and women 🌍
🚫 What Not to Do
- Don’t joke about it (“Are you moody because you’re on your period?” = NOPE 🙅🏽♂️)
- Don’t treat it like a secret or curse
- Don’t be that guy who acts weird around pads and tampons
✅ What You Should Do
- Be chill. It’s just a normal part of life.
- If a friend needs help (like an extra pad or support), step up.
- Ask respectful questions if you’re curious. Girls appreciate it when you’re honest and open-minded.
- Keep a little empathy in your pocket—cramps hurt like crazy!
🔥 Pro Tip: Real Men Respect the Red Dot
Being period-aware doesn’t make you soft. It makes you emotionally intelligent, thoughtful, and the kind of guy people trust.
So next time someone mentions menstruation, don’t freeze. Own it. You’re officially in the know.
