I Love Love Love Guys Who Are Cool About Periods

It ain't no thang but a chicken wing on a string to him that I get my period. He's so unfazed about my monthly friend it's ridic. Honestly, I think he gets a kick out of it.

Every month, he tries to come up with some hysterical description of my period and tries to outdo himself every time. So far, he's said that my:
  • Hoohah is crying blood tears
  • Cave is awash in cherry Slurpee
  • Love box is puking lava
  • Red velvet cupcake is leaking
  • Lady parts are re-enacting scenes from The Shining 
After dating total Squeemish Stans who'd do a full-on body shudder if I even so much as mentioned menstruation, it's refreshing to have a guy be laid-back about the whole thing.

He doesn't flinch when I toss pads in the shopping cart. He high-fives me when I tell him that I have cramps. He's like if Midol were a human; he makes me feel better about the whole thing. Ladies take note: THIS is the kind of guy you should marry. He'll be a buddy to your monthly curse.

When he doesn't freak out because I leave a tampon or two in the medicine cabinet, I know I've found a keeper!

"Nonplussed" doesn't mean what you think it does. You probably mean, "unfazed" or "undaunted".

Rebooting the ovarian operating system never bothered me...

I call my girlfriend's time of the month "shark week."

Does this possibly explain why the women I date insist on slathering me in menstrual blood like I'm Carrie's prom date? I realize that the Friskiness Index is relatively high at that point in the cycle, but why would a postcoital shower be considered bad manners? Surf 'n' turf is fine by me, but I could do without a morning-after exhibition of Scenes from an Abattoir.

I call it the "joyful week" because you can discover so many joyful things in life that week - other than sex of course.

Maybe if kids watched more violent films/games this blood fear wouldn't be a problem!

pardon the sidetracked post please: (See #2)

nonplussed |nänˈpləst| (also nonplused)
adjective
1 (of a person) surprised and confused so much that they are unsure how to react : he would be completely nonplussed and embarrassed at the idea.
2 informal (of a person) not disconcerted; unperturbed.
USAGE In standard use, nonplussed means ‘surprised and confused’: : the hostility of the new neighbor’s refusal left Mrs. Walker nonplussed. In North American English, a new use has developed in recent years, meaning ‘unperturbed’—more or less the opposite of its traditional meaning: : hoping to disguise his confusion, he tried to appear nonplussed . This new use probably arose on the assumption that non- was the normal negative prefix and must therefore have a negative meaning. Although the use is common, it is not yet considered standard. The preferred spelling is nonplussed.

I don't really see what the big deal is since everything is fairly clean :)
