well He was a king, he had wealth and power, he could provide a good home, stability, 3 meals a day, clothing, warm beds, a safe place to live and give them a lifestyle that was comfortable. Plus maybe being a king left him socially isolated feeling insecure and that most people only liked him for his power, wealth and influence and the only way to fill the social void was to have multiple wives.

I can only speak from my own perspective, but a woman's period is highly individual.
I used to date a guy who actually said I was nicer during that time. I've always felt very blessed in that I don't think mine have ever been quite as bad as some women experience, but there are some times when the stomach pains are so severe, they wake me up at night.
However... It leaves me feeling weak and vulnerable, which in turn, heightens my awareness -- and often, empathy -- of those who are feeling weak and vulnerable as well.
Is it pleasant? No. But it's something God uses to remind me of how reliant I need to be on Him (especially when I'm praying for Him to either get rid of the pain or just help with gritting my teeth and getting through it.)
However -- once again, this varies greatly from woman to woman.
And we ladies appreciate a guy who is willing to listen to -- and empathize with our pain.
Kudos to you for taking the time to listen to your friend!

Well I assume it's personal and not something women usually speak publically about. But that does make sense. really? that is quite interesting. Oh ok, interesting. I see, ok.
good to hear, Thanks, It was the guys she was sleeping with I didn't want to hear about while she was trying to get me to spend money to travel to see her every month. I am wondering if maybe my single status at this stage is a sign from God I should be working on my Bah Humbugs for Christmas lol.

And the fact of the matter is- considering there are still women doing this today- that is all some women want. Those mormon-wives... according to them, they appreciate the longer intermissions between interactions with their husband. I'm not saying I think modern polygamy is the right idea in any way shape or form; but that's just the way it is.
