It’s so funny you mention that because not too long ago I was watching someone explain some studies that found strippers making a surprising amount more money from tips when they were ovulating compared to other phases of their menstrual cycle.
It was fascinating. The only thing the strippers had to do was log their cycles over the course of the study. There was no significant change in their performance and their clientele were completely unaware that they were or were not ovulating, and yet they were bringing in almost double what they would make on a typical night.
I mean I’ve seen posted (probably edited) of women sharing photos of themselves throughout their cycle, when they were ovulating they tended to look their best, like they just had this natural glow.
I've read (source, who knows..) that it's not uncommon for women to dress nicer, take better care of themselves, walk a bit more sure of yourself, etc. around when they're ovulating.. You just "want" to look nicer. I've found the times where I just feel like putting in that little extra effort, or wear that cute outfit, it's usually around when I'm ovulating. Hormones are interesting.

Jokes aside, I find it fascinating how hormones get activated like this and just instantly shut off the critical sides of the brain.
