    Synchronization
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the phenomenon of menstrual synchrony among women living or working closely together. Participants share experiences indicating that this synchronization can occur over time, particularly in environments where women spend significant time together, such as households or workplaces. There is skepticism about the effectiveness of products like Febreeze in masking the pheromones that may contribute to this synchronization. The conversation also touches on the challenges of living with multiple women, highlighting a humorous perspective on the dynamics involved. Additionally, a light-hearted reference is made to Hugh Hefner, suggesting that he seems to enjoy his lifestyle, contrasting the earlier frustrations expressed.

It's also true for women who work together. I've worked in several offices where the women reported being synchronized. From what I've been told, it takes a number of months before a new woman employee synchronizes.
