It's very important to understand the menstrual cycle. You need to learn how to behave around a woman during certain periods, when to have or not have certain conversations, intimacy etc.
Learn why women's moods go up and down. Men, on the other hand, are pretty much the same all the time.
I think a lot of women don't understand the hormone cycle either, I recently delved into it deeper and it really explains a lot of things. Apparently, we even need more sleep at night than men, some estimated 11 minutes more.

Female Hormone Cycle Overview
- Menstrual Cycle Duration: Typically 28 days, but can range from 21 to 35 days.
- Phases:
- Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): Shedding of the uterine lining.
- Follicular Phase (Days 1-13): Follicles in the ovaries mature; estrogen levels rise.
- Ovulation (Day 14): Release of an egg; peak in estrogen levels.
- Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): Progesterone increases to prepare for potential pregnancy.
Hormonal Effects on Mood
- Estrogen:
- Rise: Increases energy, mood, and cognitive function.
- Drop: Can lead to irritability, anxiety, and mood swings.
- Progesterone:
- Rise: Can induce calming effects, but may also cause fatigue and mood changes.
- Drop: Associated with PMS symptoms, including mood swings and depression.
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS):
- Symptoms often arise due to hormonal fluctuations, affecting mood negatively.
- Mood Disorders:
- Some women may experience heightened mood swings or anxiety linked to hormonal changes (e.g., PMDD).
- Individual Variability:
- Hormonal effects on mood can vary widely among women due to genetics, lifestyle, and overall health.
