"  1. Unless we have silver hair or are a poet laureate, don&amp;#039;t ever call us ma&amp;#039;am. Try girl. Justin Timberlake has made a career out of its generous use.  2. I look like a fool in a dress if you&amp;#039;re in a T-shirt and jeans, but we look like a stylish couple if you add a blazer. Unrequired fanciness is the cutest thing ever.  3. Instead of calling your ex a bitch, say: &amp;quot;[Name] is being difficult and could act more reasonable.&amp;quot; Then vent by flattening some boxes for recycling. This shows restraint and a love for the environment.  4. Girls like it when you nickname them something smaller than a bread box. Chickadee. Pat of Butter. Baby Mouse. This makes us feel tiny and adorable. Space Heater and Minivan do not. 5. Quit Facebook. If I&amp;#039;m standing next to you, and you&amp;#039;re checking to see if you have any vampire bites from girls you went to camp with, something&amp;#039;s wrong. 6. For setting the mood: two candles, max. More than that and you&amp;#039;re the set decorator for Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy and the whole thing seems deliberate and icky.  7. Violent statements like &amp;quot;If that guy keeps looking at you, I&amp;#039;m going to tear his head off&amp;quot; are appealing. (As long as you&amp;#039;re a quiet bookworm named Josh.) 8. If you defend a girl as &amp;quot;really smart when you get to know her,&amp;quot; she is dumb. What you mean is, she&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;really smart for a smokin&amp;#039;-hot girl who is stupid.&amp;quot; 9. Your buddy doesn&amp;#039;t mind receiving his new book in the Borders bag. We do. Wrap everything. Except engagement rings. 10. Women love sex tapes. Not porn -- sex tapes, because scandal is titillating. If you want to trick us into watching porn, tell us the girl in it is famous and we just haven&amp;#039;t heard of her yet.  Mindy Kaling is a writer, producer, and cast member of The Office on NBC.
