I heave heard it said several times before that, when women spend a lot of time in close proximity to each other, they find their periods tend to sychronise. Basically, I was wondering if anyone could shed anymore light on this phenomenon? Is it actually true, or is it an urban myth? If it is true, why is it true? What possible evolutionary advantage could there be in it, and, even more importantly, how do your respective bodies know?
I've discovered recently an odd alignment with the two women I work with; I'm close friends with one of them, and see the other fairly frequently socially too (small community I live in) but I didn't think we really spent that much time together. We tend to talk about fairly initimate things, so we generally know when we're all on, but how the heck does knowing consciously translate itself on such a primitive level? Is it some pheromone or something, or is it sheer coincidence, because I've been intimate, shall we say, with other ladies, and never altered my rhythms a jot for it?
Any thoughts?
