Question:
Is it true that when females live in the same house...?
Is it true that when two females live in the same house their menstrual cycles become similar? If this is true, how so? Because me and my mom have cycles that overlap each other. I start first, and then halfway through mine, she starts, and that's the same with lots of women I know and their fellow female family members.
Answers:
Yes. Any females you live with or are in close contact with: females in your dorm-room if and when you go to college. Females you may live with (roomates, lovers if you are lesbian/bisexual), work with or anything else.
It's a pheremone thing. Basically, pheremones are hormones that others can smell without realizing they can smell it. Chemical communication between two people (animals have it to) They say that dogs can smell fear? I believe this is true, they can smell your "fear" pheremones.
Some think it evolved as a competition thing. The more I learn about human evolution, the more I think that there must be a cooperative aspect to it. We are cooperative, social creatures. We survive best when we survive together. If that means all getting our periods together so we can all hang out in the proverbial "red tent" together, that means we can better protect each other. There is safety in numbers.
