    I’m a guy, so maybe it’s because I’m not a woman, but I definitely don’t understand the joke here. Does anyone actually expect the left side? I’ve quite literally never once heard anything to suggest that pms is some sort of a positive experience (definitely not a “sexy” one).

      Hello, I’m a woman so let me confirm: No, nobody. Some people expect slightly bigger boobs or they know they get a libido peak right before the period, but that’s about it.

      Probably there is a minority that engages successfully in period sex and looks forward to it, but that would be niche, not something you’d expect most people to relate to.

      Never heard anyone say they expect silky hair right before their period, or the skin glow. Most people expect bloating to some degree, I haven’t heard anyone looking forward to it either.

      So yeah TLDR some of these things can be true for some people but rarely all and you would hardly call the half on the left “relatable”.

      Yeah, I’ve never heard anyone expecting anything positive from PMS.

      That’s why it’s called a syndrome.
