One of the younger guys in our little part of the shop was into meeting women on apps like Tinder and the like. He'd been frequenting the domicile of a particular woman, who, according to him had insisted that he eat the spaghetti, bbq, and chili she'd cook for him when they arranged to meet. The common denominator was that there was always a red sauce present in the meal. They always met at her place, btw.
An older co-worker was discussing his dating habits with him, and started laughing. He may have been messing with this dude and he may have been serious, but I can't say for sure. He told the young man that it was common practice for some women to put menstrual blood into food as a perceived method of seducing and retaining a desired man.
Now , there were several of us present, and it became quite uncomfortable for the young man. I have no idea if this happens or how common it may be, but that was the first time I'd heard of it.
Side note: my wife has always made terrific chili.
It is not uncommon for a woman to try and impress a man with her cooking. And any woman cooking to my tastes would be making a lot of chili and spaghetti.
So I don't think he should be concerned unless she only insists on cooking one week a month.
