Black Men : Do Men Have "Periods?"

[Ralfa'il]

Men don't have periods, but many men DO suffer from something called "male menopause" as they get older.

Some people call it the "mid-life crisis".

 

[SAMURAI36]

All a "Period" is, is a chemical imbalance.

Men do indeed have such, even though it's not of the menstral sort.

ERA suggests a period of history marked by a new or distinct order of things <the era of global communications>. AGE is used frequently of a fairly definite period dominated by a prominent figure or feature <the age of Samuel Johnson>.


I've read nothing about a "chemical imbalance" in this definition.


A period is just a length of time.

A woman's mentration is often refered to as a "period" because it comes at a certain marked TIME or CYCLE each month.

 

[SAMURAI36]

We all know that you are quite pedestrian when it comes to knowing the English language, but that is why I apostrophized ("") "Period".

If you bothered to even read the definitions that you posted (we all know you didn't), you'd notice that the cycle of menstruation does not appear therein either.

Speaking of menstruation, all that cycle is, is a chemical imbalance, as I previously stated.

And men do indeed undergo "periods" (cycles) of chemical imbalances; those balances are not as scheduled as women's are (not necessarily related to our reproductive systems), but they do exist.

PEACE

And men do indeed undergo "periods" (cycles) of chemical imbalances; those balances are not as scheduled as women's are (not necessarily related to our reproductive systems), but they do exist.

If my memory and vision serves me correct.
What you previously stated was simply..and I quote:

All a "Period" is, is a chemical imbalance.

I didn't read the word "cycle" in there.

You said a period was a CHEMICAL DISORDER, not a time frame.

And you were wrong.
