So over on MPUAForum.com the other day, some of the aspiring master seducers were dicsussing ovulation. You know, like guys do.
No, they haven’t suddenly developed a genuine interest in the literal inner workings of women. It’s just that they think knowing a bit about ovulation will help them get laid. Because according to the tenets of something called Peak Ovulation Theory,
girls will fuck with the bad boy during peak ovulation and the rest of the menstrual cycle, they will get it on with the nice guys.
So … if your style of game is the bad boy vibe, you’ll get to fuck the girl at her horniest days.
Don’t worry: it’s all very scientific. They have studies and everything.
Indeed, we’ve discussed this topic before, and suggested a little mnemonic device to help pickup artists remember that the ladies will be especially open to game when they’re ovulating:
When she’s gettin’ eggy, it’s time to neggy
The only real problem is being able to tell at a glance if a woman is ovulating or not before you lay down your bad boy vibe on her. In other words: how do you fine tune your Ovuladar?
A site moderator with the slightly puzzling nickname poeticlyskuac offered these thoughts:
I don’t look for signs of ovulation… I look for signs a girl is dtf… this could be during ovulation but the point is girls counterfeit the same signals …
studies show girls in some areas genuinely show less clothes during that time of the month especially during the day …
Movement is also something to pay attention to as women who are seeking sexual attention move accordingly … also a woman near ovulation will have clearer skin…
Ok, so if I understand this correctly, a woman who is ovulating, or maybe just horny, will be sashaying around practically naked. And she won’t have pimples.
The point is to look for behavioral patterns… certain things are going to be easy to detect… Other things such as skin redness… pupil size will be harder to tell but they aren’t impossible in a properly lit environment…
Wait. Is the skin supposed to be red or not? Just how big are the pupils supposed to be?
Most women are clueless to the 48 hrs they are ovulating… absolutely clueless.. Very few women know and feel their eggs dropping… Rare ones do and it can be quite painful if you are one of those that detect it… I would never ask a woman if she was ovulation because it’ll be a waste of time…
Also, I’m guessing she might give you this look:
Hellhound offered a simpler way to tell if a woman is ovulating: does she give you a boner? Let’s let him explain the science behind what we might call the Ovuladar in Your Pants.
Men are genetically wired to be providers and protectors while women are genetically wired to be nurturers. When men get horny with a particular woman who makes their dick hard, they have a tendency to spend more money on this woman and become overly protective and jealous. …
Moreover, when your dick gets hard, you are more likely to give women favors. When a woman asks you for favors, note that this behavior is mostly made in an unconscious, instinctive manner, she is actually trying to determine if your dick is getting rock hard for her. Why? …
In simple terms, the woman is genetically probing if you’ll be a good provider to her. Subconsciously, she is testing the hardness of your dick. Since your cock remains hidden inside your pants, she has to instinctively know if your dick gets hard for her by asking you to buy her a drink.
Ok, now that we’ve determined that your boner is a bit of a spendthrift when it comes to boner-inspiring ladies, what does this have to do with ovulation? Hellhound offers a video which presumably explains this all. I didn’t watch it, but let’s just assume that his SCIENCE is as tight as his pants. So on we go to his conclusion:
In summary, for the first indicator of peak ovulation, when your dick gets throbbing rock hard for a hot woman and you get the itch to buy her a drink or coffee, even when she’s not asking you for it, she is likely to be fertile.
Ok, but how do you tell for sure? Luckily for us, Hellhound has some suggestions that seem as ROCK SOLID as his you know what.
You will have a persistent hard on … with a fertile woman. To verify if she’s on her peak ovulation period and aroused enough with your hard on, give her some of these compliance tests:
1. Can I have some of these? However, I left my wallet at home. (Pause and wait if she’ll give you items for free) or…
2. Can I have some of these? I’ll pay you later/tomorrow because I forgot to bring my wallet. (If she complies, you’re good.)
3. I wanted to cook [name recipe here] but I don’t know how… (Pause and then bait her if she’ll volunteer. When she volunteers, isolate to your place. When you’re feeling bold, ask her to buy some of the ingredients.)
A woman’s arousal will escalate when you notice that she keeps on looking at your cock and her ear lobes turn red. This is also a good time for aggressive kino but don’t grab her ass or boobies in public. Isolate.
A woman with red ears who gives you things amd looks at your dick probably likes you. Check. Don’t grab her boobs or butt in public. Check.
Learning about science is fun!
A fellow by the name of Melodical, meanwhile, offers some scientific evidence of his own:
Although it hasn’t been studied in depth there is a school of thought that suggest that a woman at her peak sexual receptivity is more likely to wear the colour red at this time.
Remember the old saying “Red shoes, no knickers”
Most signs of sexual availability in the animal kingdom involve a female displaying red in some form or another, maybe there is still a hardwired neural behaviour in women to do still display this.
But not everyone in the thread has been completely convinced by Peak Ovulation Theory. SexAddict91 offered anecdotal evidence that some women are actually hornier during shark week than egg days:
In my experience, a woman’s horniest days are just before or during menstration. I’ve heard and seen it too many times from women for this not to be true. I’m not just talking an average level of horny, I’m talking super and aggressive horny.
But he’s open to evidence that challenges his observations.
If science does not support this, my only other logical conclusion is that they are horny throughout the cycle or at peek ovulation but because just before or during flow time they really can’t have sex even when enticed, it becomes much more relevant in their memory. ( as in, they want sex more because they can’t have it)
TheFury, meanwhile, argued that Peak Ovulation Theory is not particularly useful for pickup artists as a practical matter, responding to Hellhound with this less-than-supportive comment:
All this shit is worthless in practice as I have said 100x and said again here. Anyways, you are clearly a delusional idiot, keep sniffing women’s panties and measuring their skin temperature.
In a followup comment he added,
It is clear that I am right and that women being ovulating has little practical relevance for a PUA. Much more relevant is when a woman is having her period because many men won’t sleep with her then or she will be too embarrassed to sleep with you on her period. That is actually practical. This garbage is not. Plain and simple. …
Bottom line, you clearly do not know the difference between practical and statistically significant/some garbage someone wrote in an abstract or some tiny difference observed in a study. The most likely reason for this is that you have no actual experience with women other than watching porno and reading studies or jerking off to studies about ovulation, because if you had experience with women you would know nothing you linked to has almost any practical implication.
But how can anyone doubt such clear and incontrovertible data for Peak Ovulation as this chart here, posted to the discussion by Hellhound himself?
That’s the kind of SCIENCE that gives Pickup Artists boners.
NOTE: I found my way to this wondrous discussion through a tweet from PUA.txt on Twitter, an account that regularly posts ridiculous real quotes from ridiculous real PUAs. It’s an account that’s well worth following if you’re on Twitter!
These guys really haven’t been around women outside of a club if ever.
I know exactly when I ovulate, and I am most certainly not “DTF” in the parlance of our times. It hurts.
kitteh – excellent point, and like you said earlier, they’re way too mired in graphs and charts for people that are supposedly out at nightclubs getting action. No doubt it’s consoling to them to believe they were rejected because the roulette wheel happened to land on the wrong day of the month.
Cassandra – it’s one of the few forms of birth control approved by the Vatican. Maintain a steady state of lust for the same man throughout the month, and your ovaries will magically go into screensaver mode.
The nuns warned us not to linger in the Brawny paper towel aisle at the wrong time of the month, lest our follicles spontaneously rupture.
Well that seems to be how they see men, so… y’know… consistency at least?
Don’t be silly. Men don’t have hormones, except when it’s convenient as an excuse for doing something shitty.
Quackers: “I gotta be honest, this type of stuff makes me not want to open up to men at all, unless I know them well enough to be absolutely sure they aren’t one of these freaks.”
It certainly makes me glad I’ve never been interested in dating, relationships and so on in general, and actively UNattracted to men-other-than-Sir. Not that I see all men as potential PUAs or MRAs or whatnot, but misogyny is so widespread.
Buttercup: ” No doubt it’s consoling to them to believe they were rejected because the roulette wheel happened to land on the wrong day of the month.”
I think we have a Great New Discovery here. It’s like the idea about women’s cycles gradually aligning when we’re in proximity for long enough. This version’s much faster, and means all women in the vicinity of a PUA immediately hit the No Chance, Loser phase of the cycle.
PUA asks target, “And what was the date of your last menstrual period?” Target tells him, because duh, why wouldn’t she? PUA then asks, “And how many days do you experience bleeding during a typical cycle?” Again, she tells him. PUA then asks, “And are you currently on hormonal birth control of any kind?” Target gives up the information. PUA calculates her next ovulation date – oh, hosanna, calculates that the target is ovulating at that very moment, and escalates his kino or whatever. Yay! That’s how it goes!
(ALSO LOOK AT MY BRAND NEW KITTY GRAVATAR)
That made me laugh so hard the guy in the next office came over to see what I was reading.
Wereterrier, mentioning your terrier on this blog makes you legally obligated to post a picture of the dog. It’s in the FAQ (the imaginary one in my head anyway).
Quackers is here! Hi!
kittehserf, I want to force all of the young women that I know to read this website, and to be able to recognize PUA “game” so they can immediately and firmly reject anyone who is trying to do that shit. I live near a major university, and I thought tonight on the drive home about putting up flyers on campus.
Wereterrier has an awesome fierce werekitty gravatar!
I would LOVE to see more young women reading ManBoobz. The more the better.
Does it actually work on anyone who wasn’t already looking for some casual ass, though? I mean, whenever I’ve seen PUAs in action the reactions have ranged from annoyed to bemused.
I modeled the neon werekitty after my own flamepoint, who is wack.
Kittehserf:
You’re lucky! because I do want to find an SO and I kinda have a high sex drive in general. I definitely don’t assume every guy I meet is an MRA or PUA, they’d have to say something that’d tip me off. But yes, these misogynist ideas are certainly more widespread than I originally thought they were. So yeah, it’s always kind of in the back of my head and makes me more cautious since I spend a fair amount of time online and know of the manosphere.
Hi Cloudiah! 😀
Let’s take some of their jargon and say, I would bet that if I guy is doing the touching protocol and the “negging,” he is probably trying to run PUA game. I think those would be the biggest “tells” from the aspiring PUA-about-town.
Anyone knows what ‘partner asymmetry’ means?
It’s all creepy, but I think “Isolate” is the creepiest of all.
Maude LL, I think that refers to how different one partner is from the other, so in the scatterplot pictured in this post, my interpretation is that the partner asymmetry axis refers to how different the woman is from her primary partner, and compare that to a given subject’s likeliness to be attracted to a man outside the relationship (extra-pair).
Maude – no idea, but I’d bet it’s one partner’s handsome/beautiful and the other isn’t, or one is wealthy and the other not, or some such nonsense.
Sir did some partner symmetry yesterday – he was plaiting ends of our hair together on the tram. Good thing he’s not earthly corporeal, it could have been awkward getting off!
Quackers – I am lucky, and I know it. Even with decades of no-contact and not knowing if Sir even existed anymore, I’m lucky just to have avoided so much shit. Australia’s pretty misogynistic; not so blatantly at government level as the US (though with the shitbags who’ve just got in, we’ll need to wait and see on that) but there’s plenty of societal stuff around.
I wonder if the dude who wrote this realized that what he’s saying is that if you notice a woman looking at your cock her arousal will escalate. Not sure if you have to say “I’ve noticed that you appear to be staring at my package” or not, though if you did I suppose that would explain the red ears.
I’m pretty sure that’s not what he meant to write, but it is in fact what he wrote.
jenninsb – agreed, “isolate” really says this is about rape.
Are you newly delurked? Have a Welcome Package! 🙂

Given these guys’ usual obsession with women having long hair, how are they supposed to see our earlobes anyway? Nobody’s going to see mine, except maybe Maddie when she’s doing her Hairdresser Cat act.
Yeah, isolate definitely hit my creepdar. Even totally non-sketchy reasons to want someone alone (say, to ask a personal question that isn’t out of line for your relationship, but isn’t the business of everyone in earshot) you don’t say “isolate”, more like “talk to in private”.
Hi Quackers! Where ya been?
It does have that Attenborough narrating a wildlife documentary feel to it. I’m not sure if it reads as more creepy or socially inept – a bit of both, really.
