Anybody else find that men flirt with you when your ovulating?
Just putting it out there interested to see what your responses are!

Apparently it smells like rancid butter

We smell like fry-ups? Well I can see how that would be irresistible!

There was a study done about women in lab dancing clubs and their tips earned. Basically when women ovulate their body shape changes slightly - waist narrows etc. They found that, on average, women who were ovulating earned more in tips. Watched a documentary on it!!

*laP dancing!!

I know I'm ovulating as I have a discharge like raw egg white and very mild cramps and it's always about 2 weeks after my period.

Some people feel ovulation, some people use wee tests to pinpoint it and some just roughly work out that it's halfway through their cycle.

Usernamesareboring · 12/07/2018 22:05

I don't even know when I ovulate, not sure how anyone else is meant to tell Hmm

KindergartenKop · 12/07/2018 22:05

Lab dancing must be good, white coats, goggles and sexy test tubes.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 12/07/2018 22:06

I think we are more
Open and horny when we ovulate and that shows up ?

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 12/07/2018 22:11

I read a Very good article about cycles
Spring post period , happy days
Summer ovulation, Yay 😀
Autumn 🍂 re period PMT 😡

And the worst weeks are generally autumn and winter for me

I am perimo though and I am having some
Wierd month long ovulation vibe
I am NOT looking
Forward to menopause

MiniAlphaBravo · 12/07/2018 22:12

Koka hormones/pheramones. Men wouldn’t consciously know younwere ovulating but they would find you more attractive when you were, without knowing why. Makes sense from a reproductive viewpoint and most animals would know when females were fertile/not fertile I believe.

StripStripHooray · 12/07/2018 22:54

I was a stripper, I can confirm it was usual for the dancers, including myself, to frequently earn more when they were ovulating. Pheremones are amazing. I also, anecdotally, felt slimmer and more attractive when I was about to ovulate/ovulating.

IfNot · 12/07/2018 22:58

I'm only (sorry) horny just after period and for about a week before. Maybe nature didn't intend me to be a mother Grin

Justtheonequestion · 12/07/2018 23:01

Stealth boast
No fucker flirts with me ovulating or otherwise.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 12/07/2018 23:04

Do you flirt with them just the oneSmile

Aged 45 having more Flirting action (and it’s limited I confess) than for many years . It’s cos I am putting it out and flouncing abiut

When I was a far more attractive 35 year old I was PG and BF and not very sexual

foxyliz26 · 12/07/2018 23:13

No Way men cant accept a woman isn't interested they live in their own world

like all young girls I thought boys could see my ST when on my period wearing a skirt whilst walking from class to class and I remember the crap bulky ST,s my mum got me with the old ST belt

none of the boys got it when we were excused gym when on

some men just see a woman and think we are all gagging for it all the time !

we had a big FB Lesbian met up in Nightingales Birmingham some months ago, some straight men had found out about it , and were constantly trying it on with any of us fems , until the slightly bigger butches and a couple of big transwomen formed a line in front of them , before the door staff threw the straight men out !

LadyLoveYourWhat · 12/07/2018 23:20

I definitely feel randier when I'm ovulating and often spend that week completely loved up and thinking my husband is A-MAZING. Sometimes the whole world feels rosier. Makes up for the PMS a bit.

Glittered · 12/07/2018 23:27

I admit I've been flirting back too.
Maybe it's the hot weather we've been having
I'm naturally friendly and chatty anyway but not normally flirty. Being a mom to 2 little ones at age 36 now i thought I was way past all that

No never...lol

LellyMcKelly · 12/07/2018 23:32

When you’re ovulating you’re basically ‘on heat’ and your body is ready to be fertilised. You’re sending out messages, even if you don’t know it,

BadLad · 12/07/2018 23:36

I can't tell if a woman is ovulating or not.

Perhaps I could if I compared some who were and some who weren't. I can tell the difference between Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi if I taste both of them next to each other, but if I have just one, I've no idea which it is.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 12/07/2018 23:37

Yes and you are probably more receptive to a man giving your attention

We are meant to breed not all of us can or want to but that is what our bodies are designed to do

I find different types of men attractive when I ovulate

I used to feel more confident and sexier when I was ovulating I don’t anymore though well aware when I am (always have been) but then I am 46 so getting a bit too old to be getting pregnant

Glittered · 12/07/2018 23:38

Diet coke is completely different to diet Pepsi. Even I know that

Firesuit · 12/07/2018 23:38

I know nothing about this, but if men behave differently I'd bet it's because they are getting all sorts of signals, both biological and behavioural, from women. In other words, if they know, it's because women have told them.

Mrsharrison · 12/07/2018 23:40

Yes they can smell it. I can sometimes smell it on women. It's a musky smell, not unpleasant. I call it the oesrogen smell.

Glittered · 12/07/2018 23:41

Maybe it's a bit of both. A bit of how it makes the woman feel and a bit of how more open you are to men?
I definatly find men more attractive this past few days and easier to talk to
