No. 205: We don&amp;#039;t like it when you put your hands on our waists. You&amp;#039;re not supposed to know about our Spanx. You&amp;#039;re just supposed to think our tummies look that flat naturally. Mind your business.  Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 400: Pay attention to the sides. The sides of her face. The sides of her breasts. The sides of her torso. The sides of her hips. The sides of her thighs. A woman&amp;#039;s body is not a set of three or four important dots connected by unimportant skin.  Elspeth Golden, 44, San Francisco No. 17: You court with flowers; we court with a higher frequency of waxing treatments.  Staci Brinkman, 27, Dallas No. 325: We love the un-expected kiss. Especially the one when you stop us midsentence and make us forget what the hell we were talking about in the first place.  Stephanie Mitchell, 41, Dayton No. 4: The baby talk is strange if there is no baby around.  Chontelle Matthews, 26, Bowie, Maryland No. 671: Please do not ever, ever let us see you naked if you are still wearing your socks.  Pat Dunnigan, 47, Chicago No. 722: Make your bed every day and change the sheets once a week. That vague goatlike smell guys get will remind us of our brother, and you will be sleeping alone.  Melinda Meggyesy, 31, Seattle No. 356: Please remember that if we hang out with a bunch of guys, it doesn&amp;#039;t make us one.  Christina Raine, 20, Richmond, California No. 820: If the world were a beach, we would want you to throw us in the ocean and then protect us from the waves.  Krista Iovino, 32, New York No. 501: We don&amp;#039;t want a man more polished than us. Slightly wrinkled and smelling a bit of sweat and a bar of soap? Fantastic.  Christine Siltanen, 38, Portland, Oregon No. 72: Lending us books is one of the most romantic things you can do.  Jessica Wakeman, 26, Bayonne, New Jersey No. 100: We don&amp;#039;t need special moves. Just do the regular ones right.  Katie Dinardo, 23, Brooklyn No. 46: Don&amp;#039;t use our makeup.  Maryann Fitzgerald, 47, Los Angeles No. 11: We like our heroes flawed. That way, they can rescue us, but it gives us room to rescue them, too.  Beth Young Margulies, 36, Bethesda, Maryland No. 63: The most chivalrous thing a man can do is let you have the last piece of bacon.  Sung-Hee Park, 30, New York No. 204: We don&amp;#039;t want to wear our bra more than you want to see us not wearing our bra.  Whitney Webb, 22, Blacksburg, Virginia No. 318: We want to see you cry every once in a while-it makes you human. To find out how often is acceptable, divide the number of cries by the number of no-holds-barred, screaming orgasms you&amp;#039;ve given us. If the quotient is greater than 0.25, you&amp;#039;re a whiny bitch.  Carrie Dienhart, 34, Kansas City, Missouri No. 605: You only get to ask once about the threesome.  Crystal Taub, 34, Baltimore No. 559: Please notice and comment on our choice of fragrance. We paid a lot for that teeny bottle of Chanel.  Hanady Kader, 25, Seattle No. 801: We play with our boobs. Who wouldn&amp;#039;t? Even though we complain about them, they&amp;#039;re still fun.  Kelly Heintz, 23, Fresno, California No. 48: When we say that nothing is wrong, we mean that you should know what is wrong without us having to tell you.  Lara Ehrlich, 28, Chicago No. 3: Please don&amp;#039;t write us poetry or compose us music. Unless writing is actually part of your job description, like if you are Tom Waits.  Brenna Ehrlich, 25, Brooklyn No. 92: We don&amp;#039;t want to get married tomorrow, either. There are a lot of celebrities we want to bang before we settle down.  Kelsey Allen, 21, Columbia, Missouri No. 483: We don&amp;#039;t like it when you pull your shirt off from the front. Be a man and pull it over your head from the back.  Molly Rosen, 33, New York No. 915: We rarely ask a question we don&amp;#039;t already know the answer to. So, we know you don&amp;#039;t think she&amp;#039;s hotter than us, or we wouldn&amp;#039;t ask.  Lisa Huber, 38, Teutopolis, Illinois No. 50: No, it&amp;#039;s not all right that you didn&amp;#039;t plan anything for our birthday even though we told you not to.  Carla Michelle Coley, 24, Washington, D. C. No. 8: If you are making out with a girl and she didn&amp;#039;t shave her legs, you have great game. At the beginning of the night, she wasn&amp;#039;t planning on doing anything.  Janna Johnson, 24, New York No. 23 We want you to never stop hunting us. Even if we married you. Remember why you got the gig. Don&amp;#039;t make the trailer the only fun in the whole production. That&amp;#039;s misleading.  Avril Dell, 46, Toronto No. 744: Don&amp;#039;t comment on our driving. There&amp;#039;s a reason your insurance is more expensive.  Diane Vadnal, 20, Des Plaines, Illinois No. 659: Know how to go to a nice restaurant and dine. Eating and talking together is phenomenal foreplay.  Joanna Breger, 36, Wilmington, Delaware No. 77: We want you to think we are pretty. Every now and then, when we get all fixed up, act for a minute like we make it hard for you to breathe.  Shannon Purvis, 45, Novato, California No. 516: We look into your minds by reading your magazines.  Lisa Alva, 49, Los Angeles No. 668: Please don&amp;#039;t splay your legs on the bus, subway, or airplane. We know you don&amp;#039;t need all that space. Don&amp;#039;t flatter yourself.  Grace Zerzan, 27, New York No. 447: Sometimes, we just want to make out on the couch like we&amp;#039;re back in high school. That includes your hands wandering and everything.  Kim Melton, 23, Albuquerque No. 814: Most of us have considered a threesome. Just not with our boyfriends.  Melanie Smeltzer, 22, Phoenix No. 15: It&amp;#039;s not always chocolate or a foot massage. Sometimes it&amp;#039;s Johnnie Walker Black on the rocks.  Caitlin Goldin, 24, Charlottesville, Va. No. 61: If it&amp;#039;s cold, put on gloves. Your balls are not a hand warmer.  Jennifer Wallerstein, 26, New York No. 40: We think you&amp;#039;re high maintenance, too.  Naomi Pabon-Figueroa, 25, Pittsburgh No. 705: Men don&amp;#039;t understand a woman&amp;#039;s obsession with celebrity gossip who&amp;#039;s pregnant, who&amp;#039;s getting divorced, who made a fool of themselves. It makes us feel better about ourselves.  Cassidy Parker, 25, Brooklyn No. 39 Panties is a guy word. We call it underwear.  Elisa Benson, 26, New York No. 5: We don&amp;#039;t have penises. When we&amp;#039;re fondling away, some encouragement and direction is appreciated. When we direct you as you&amp;#039;re spelunking nether-ward on our bodies, don&amp;#039;t be offended be grateful we&amp;#039;re preventing you from losing all use of your thumb for a week.  Beth Carswell, 32, Victoria, British Columbia No. 531: We love to cry, and we always feel better after a big sob fest. How much better? Pull down your pants.  Denise Marquez, 40, Rochester, N.Y. No. 236: If something in your past will show up on a Google search, be prepared to explain it.  Julia Phillips, 39, Longmont, Colo. No. 1000: We love you guys.  Stephanie Shaughnessy, 41, Pittsburgh  No. 193: Because we love security and fidelity, we also love love handles. Your six-pack anxiety only threatens us with the possibility you might care more about your abs than you care about us. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 658: Don&amp;#039;t tease us. We&amp;#039;re not your little sister. Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 863: If we don&amp;#039;t spend the night, don&amp;#039;t give up on calling us back. We were probably just wearing Spanx. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 386: When we are truly angry, we go silent. That is your opportunity to apologize, or run. Neither will save you. Lisa Huber, 38, Teutopolis, Illinois No. 274: Some of us keep imaginary tallies in our head. &amp;quot;He keeps Diet Coke at his apartment because he knows I love it: 5 points. He&amp;#039;s liberal: 10 points. He brought me soup when I was sick: 15 points. He made banana pancakes: infinity points.&amp;quot; Your kindness is noted, appreciated and will be rewarded. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 417: If it ever comes down to picking between spending time with your girl and playing World of Warcraft you have bigger issues than not understanding women. Brittany Brundage, 21, Orem, Utah No. 358: Loading the dishes without being asked it means more than you know. Alexandria Pruitt, 24, Louisville No. 789: Practice proper text message grammar. Abbreviations are okay. &amp;quot;LOL&amp;quot; is not. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 467: We like it when you have a lot of male friends. It means you can maintain a good relationship, like the one you have with us. Alexandria Pruitt, 24, Louisville No. 439: We gauge how good a father you&amp;#039;ll be by how you treat your family. Alexandria Pruitt, 24, Louisville No. 562: We know our orgasms can be difficult. Just keep at it. Alexandria Pruitt, 24, Louisville No. 574: Most successful men have a strong woman by his side. That would be us. Amanda Allen, 24, Salt Lake City No. 725: You have the power to make us feel like the only girl in the room. Use it wisely (and often). Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 343: Those times you remember the small details of our stories like a random friend&amp;#039;s name is when we can tell you care. Alexandria Pruitt, 24, Louisville No. 651: Never underestimate the power of a kiss on the forehead. Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 317: When you challenge your lady to a game and lose, lose with a smile. Not with a broken tennis racket... for instance. Michelle Schindler, 25, New York No. 697: Sometimes we think we&amp;#039;re in love, and then we see your Facebook profile. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 259: Honestly, we don&amp;#039;t mind watching hours of Grand Theft Auto if we feel included. Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 330: Take us to Florence. But not in the summer. Too many tourists. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 105: A five-star restaurant is rarely better than eating cold pizza on the couch with you. Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 158: We like it when you stand in the dressing room with us. And give compliments. Molly Rosen, 33, Chicago No. 127: &amp;quot;I love you.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s better when it&amp;#039;s rare, spontaneous, and really meaningful. Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 245: Women in their twenties may look good while doing it, but most of them are thinking about how they look while they&amp;#039;re doing it. Which means they aren&amp;#039;t thinking about what they are doing. After their twenties, we have learned that feeling good is better than looking good. We also know that right after we use our good stuff with you, we&amp;#039;re going to get the cuddling all those twentysomethings are bitching about. Lisa Huber, 38, Teutopolis, Illinois No. 993: Red, black, silky, leather, animal print if any of these are adjectives that can be applied to your bedroom decor, we may still sleep over, but don&amp;#039;t count on a call back. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 740: Buying us a candy bar is a surprising and effective gesture. Who doesn&amp;#039;t like a candy bar? Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts  No. 289: A woman has certain spots that are for touching, squeezing, and pushing. These do not include her buttons. Michelle Schindler, 25, New York No. 378: Girls like to whine. It&amp;#039;s a fact. Brittany Brundage, 21, Orem, Utah No. 431: There is nothing sexier than following through. If you say you&amp;#039;re going to do something, please do it. Brittany Brundage, 21, Orem, Utah No. 598: When we say we want to share a dessert, we really mean we want you to have just one bite and offer the rest to us. We were planning on eating the entire lava cake ourselves anyway, but this way we don&amp;#039;t feel guilty. Aimee Couture, 22, New York No. 675: Keep in mind that we&amp;#039;ll read any e-mail you might leave open on the computer. It&amp;#039;s our nature. (And yours too, by the way.) Leticia Frazao, 25, New York No. 689: Please be the man we know and love, even when we&amp;#039;re at a barbeque reunion with your frat brothers. Aimee Couture, 22, New York No. 399: Nothing is quite as comforting as a big, man hug. Safe, warm, firm, but yielding. Danielle Maupai, 28, Green Pond, New Jersey No. 849: If you want to impress a girl, tell her you&amp;#039;ve heard of Say Yes to the Dress and leave it at that. Your feelings about the show are not important. Jessica Brunelle, 22, Boston No. 833: There are two acceptable forms of hair product for you: undetectable and nonexistent. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 710: We would rather take a hot-air balloon ride than grab drinks. If you don&amp;#039;t have a hot-air balloon, just be creative. Aimee Couture, 22, New York No. 590: Even if we assure you we don&amp;#039;t believe in Valentine&amp;#039;s Day, buy the damn flowers. It couldn&amp;#039;t be easier. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 597: We won&amp;#039;t judge you for that occasional girly drink. Just be sure to give us a sip. Aimee Couture, 22, New York No. 858: Life gets so busy, sometimes it&amp;#039;s nice to have someone to make choices for you. Even if it is just the Friday night movie. Dani Ruiz, 22, Encinitas, California No. 514: We do enjoy the gift of expensive jewelry. We just like to pick it out. Danica Peterson, 22, Providence No. 182: It&amp;#039;s better when you make the effort to do simple things often than trying to make up for making no effort by doing something big and over-the-top. Chantal Marchessault, 22, Gulfport, Florida No. 307: Don&amp;#039;t go to strip clubs. Just don&amp;#039;t. Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 530: When a woman brings you to a store to show you something on more than one occasion, do you think maybe she wants you to buy it for her? Maybe? Danica Peterson, 22, Providence No. 490: There is no excuse for you to buy us lingerie for our birthday, anniversary, and Valentine&amp;#039;s Day, all in the same year. Danica Peterson, 22, Providence No. 822: Whistling of any kind tends to make us walk faster in the opposite direction. Jessica Brunelle, 22, Boston No. 808: We can almost always tell how much porn you watch on a regular basis after sleeping with you the first time. Like, don&amp;#039;t rip the panties off before getting to second base. Better to be vanilla than embarrassed. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 770: We can tell when the gift was purchased at the last minute. But we still like it. Jessica Brunelle, 22, Boston No. 239: Your knowing the difference between stilettos and flats is totally adorable. Chantal Marchessault, 22, Gulfport, Florida No. 629: Some of us may feel the need to make up a reason to walk out on you at a crucial moment, just so you can show us you&amp;#039;ll come chasing. Sorry. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 160: To be truly appreciated and acknowledged for what we do is better than any gift. This is actually true. Joanna Jaeger, 50, Milpitas, California No. 230 We love your clothes, so be willing to share. This includes large sweatshirts. Katie Holleran, 23, Winchester, Massachusetts No. 366: When we wear high heels, we expect you to still be taller than us. Sarah Grieco, 21, Fairfax, Virginia No. 665: A single rose means more on a random Wednesday than two-dozen mean on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day. Aimee Couture, 22, New York No. 472: Watching a football game with you is fine, as long as you explain the rules to us before, during, and after. Sarah Grieco, 21, Fairfax, Virginia No. 484: Let a girl get to know you for you before you show her your bank account. Aimee Couture, 22, New York No. 513: We watch porn, we&amp;#039;re just better at erasing our browser&amp;#039;s history. Julia Race, 19, Virginia Beach, Virginia No. 620: We always, always wonder why you&amp;#039;re watching the highlights from the game that just ended. Kelly Greene, 35, San Diego No. 779: Your natural smell is (usually) the sexiest cologne. Sarah Spry, 20, New York No. 969: We need to be invited to parties, even if we don&amp;#039;t plan on going, or even want to go all. Brianna Shepard, 46, Santa Monica No. 459: Playing with your neighbor/sister/friend&amp;#039;s kids in the park is sexy; asking if we want kids on the first date is not. Aimee Couture, 22, New York No. 745: Women love to take pictures. Sometimes at annoying moments. That&amp;#039;s a fact you just need to accept. Jessica Brunelle, 22, Boston No. 923: Don&amp;#039;t fall victim to bad posture. Be as tall as you possibly can. Anna Szapiro, 21, Takoma Park, Maryland No. 998: An appreciation for the natural look is a huge bonus. Sarah Spry, 20, New York No. 977: The only thing we love more than when you call your mom is when you call your grandma. Juliet Garlow, 20, Silver Spring, Maryland No. 945: Speedos are never okay. Nancy Sanchez, 29, Los Angeles No. 323: We suck in our stomach every time you see us naked. Darci Trudgeon, 27, Lansing, Michigan No. 910: Putting dishes in the sink doesn&amp;#039;t count as doing the dishes. Sarah Maher, 30, Washington, D.C.   No. 351: We love five oclock shadows, aesthetically, because we all have an Indian Jones complex. But they hurt like a motherfucker. Emma Backe, 19, Strafford, Pennsylvania No. 255: There is such thing as too much PDA. Chantal Marchessault, 22, Gulfport, Florida No. 841: We might like your particularly tight pants, as long as no body parts are visible through them. Anna Szapiro, 21, Takoma Park, Maryland No. 548: Ladies rooms are mostly for talking. Jessie Scherer, 22, Berkeley, California No. 566: More dirt bikes, fewer manicures. And we&amp;#039;re talking about us. Kelly McEtchin, 21, Pleasanton, California No. 735: Calling us hot, beautiful gorgeous, or sexy, always sounds better than &amp;quot;cute.&amp;quot; Carrie Dienhart, 34, Kansas City, Missouri No. 884: Sure, we love your sensitive side. But there are at least some movies at which you should not cry. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 217: Kissing before the cigarette is better. Kourtney Cole, 22, Chino Hills, California No. 826: Make reservations.

Joanna Jaeger, 50, Milpitas, California No. 540: We want to know everything there is to know about your ex-girlfriend. Its up to you to assure us that she never, ever existed. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 717: There is nothing cute, interesting, or worthwhile about self-deprecation. If you dont think you are worth my time, neither will I. Kady Ruth Ashcraft, 19, College Park, Maryland No. 804: We&amp;#039;re sorry we even have to ask but, are you actually chewing with your mouth open? Anna Szapiro, 21, Takoma Park, Maryland No. 333: A man whos afraid of dogs is a man we don&amp;#039;t trust. Juliet Garlow, 20, Silver Spring, Maryland No. 406: You actually can tell everything about a guy by his shoes. Dani Ruiz, 22, Encinitas, California No. 338: If we really do look fat in something, by all means say so. But you don&amp;#039;t actually have to use the word &amp;quot;fat.&amp;quot; Kourtney Cole, 22, Chino Hills, California No. 268: If you ask how good you looked doing something, we might be honest. So ask yourself first whether you really want to know. Kourtney Cole, 22, Chino Hills, California No. 486: Acting slightly goofy on occasion doesn&amp;#039;t make us think you&amp;#039;re any less manly. Hannah Schultz, 21, San Diego No. 760: Please dont name the following things: your car, your cell phone, and the other thing. Kelly Greene, 35, San Diego No. 899: Own your chest hair. Anna Szapiro, 21, Takoma Park, Maryland No. 793: Sometimes we like to pretend we are living in a chick flick. So don&amp;#039;t worry about any romantic gestures being overly cheesy. There is no such thing as overly cheesy. Dani Ruiz, 22, Encinitas, California No. 927: When we don&amp;#039;t call or text back immediately after the first date, we are probably still obsessing over it, so you should let us know that you are, too. Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California No. 875: We like to gossip with you just as much as we do with our friends. Juliet Garlow, 20, Silver Spring, Maryland No. 938: Dont pinch our waists. We dont pinch yours. Anna Szapiro, 21, Takoma Park, Maryland No. 700: As long as theres no second meal in your beard, we dont care how long it is. Juliet Garlow, 20, Silver Spring, Maryland No. 41: If you cant grow a beard, dont try. Ellen Freeman, 21, Philadelphia No. 371: Weve given up on expecting you to understand the difference between a beach towel, a guest towel, a rag, and a dishtowel. Jennifer OConnell, 29. Monterey, California No. 639: Dont put your tongue in my ear. You can put it anywhere else. But not the ear. Kady Ruth Ashcraft, 19, College Park, Maryland No. 427: Its sort of cute when you cry for a good reason. Watching a movie is usually not a good reason. Brenna Mork, 21, Norfolk No. 179: Dirty like being covered in oil and grease can be attractive. It reminds us that youre useful.

Laura ODell, 23, San Diego, California No. 680: We like it when you wear your running shoes to exercise. We dont like when you wear your running shoes any other time than that.

Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta No. 32: We pretty much hate you when you order a salad. That&amp;#039;s what we have girlfriends for. If you diet, we need to diet. So, when you order a salad, you&amp;#039;re essentially calling us fat. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 58: We really don&amp;#039;t mind you playing video games. But if there&amp;#039;s something we really need to talk about, and you&amp;#039;re distracted by your Xbox now we have a problem with the video game. You see how that works? Wesleann Polkowske, 29, Austin No. 206: Push us against elevator walls. Don&amp;#039;t make us do it every time. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 305: Women have been passive-aggressive since Eve plucked the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Don&amp;#039;t question why we do this; just learn to decode it.

Haiyen Chin, 33, Brooklyn No. 561: Don&amp;#039;t be afraid to mention something you&amp;#039;ve been dreaming of trying in bed, we&amp;#039;ve probably been thinking the same thing. Rachael Candee 24, Bloomington, Indiana No. 458: We can whine and talk behind the backs of our friends. But you probably shouldn&amp;#039;t. Nina Fortuna, 25, New York No. 286: If you&amp;#039;re not a professional athlete, how good you are at sports matters very little to us. Lindsay Coluccio, 33, Newport Beach, California No. 576: We might like sex even more than you do. Shannon McCarthy, 24, Valencia, California No. 685: Jewelry? I&amp;#039;d prefer a vibrator as a gift, thank you very much. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 35: It&amp;#039;s okay to stink a little. A hint of body odor actually makes you seem more manly. We like the guy who works so hard he breaks a sweat. As long as it&amp;#039;s not the result of a Call of Duty 4 marathon. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 596: Within a year of dating you, we already know your jeans size, social security number, and important passwords by heart. So try and make sure you know a few things about us, too. Like our favorite color. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 226: When we&amp;#039;re awake, we&amp;#039;re always thinking. Feel free to ask &amp;quot;What are you thinking?&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;ll always have an answer. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 778: Asking me to join you for a cigarette generally doesn&amp;#039;t work as a pick-up line, particularly if we don&amp;#039;t smoke. Rachel Henke, 21, Quincy, Illinois No. 617: When we&amp;#039;re out together, and we see a tall, leggy model, remember: tall, leggy models are not your type. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 258: While we may say we buy lingerie for you, we buy it because it makes us feel sexy. Turning you on is icing on the cake. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California No. 120: Plan mini road trips. Make CDs. Burn us a copy. If you give a little notice, we&amp;#039;ll pack lunch. Some of us make really good pasta salad. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 339: We love staying in, cooking dinner or ordering pizza, and splitting a bottle of wine. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California No. 464: Being thought of is awesome. Tips for when you&amp;#039;re at work: send me a link to something I would like, or text a picture of something that made you think of me, or a note that you heard a song on the radio that reminded you of me. Stacey Whiteley, 40, Albany, New York No. 165: Most of us look in the mirror thinking about all the things we wish were different so tell us we&amp;#039;re beautiful, even if it seems obvious that we are. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 638: When we&amp;#039;re out alone and have to go to the bathroom we ask the nearest female even if they&amp;#039;re a stranger if they&amp;#039;d like to go too. It&amp;#039;s just protocol. Yahaira Ulloa, 28, Elmwood Park, New Jersey No. 782: We&amp;#039;re into talking dirty. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 869: Although we like gifts, they shouldn&amp;#039;t come straight out of a Hallmark commercial. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 692: We want to feel desired. Hand us a flower, and we might faint. Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 390: Always say yes if I ask you if you noticed my new haircut. Even if it&amp;#039;s just a trim! Sarah Jayne Kinney, 24, Boardman, Ohio No. 402: A woman is like a mid-19th century antique musket, without the proper maintenance she will rust and fall apart. Or rather, you should respect her. Joanna Borns, 25, West Lafayette, Indiana No. 835: Try to limit the number of times you ask us what&amp;#039;s wrong some days we just wake up crabby for no reason at all. And 70 percent of the time it has nothing to do with you. Relax. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 471: We&amp;#039;ve really got our fingers crossed that beer commercials don&amp;#039;t represent real men. Joanna Borns, 25, West Lafayette, Indiana No. 672: No matter how many times I say not right now, I always want to be propositioned. Molly Farrell, 30, New Haven, Connecticut No. 364: Snoring is funny sometimes even cute when we start dating. Give it a while though, and it can be grounds for divorce. Kelly Carney, 29, Chicago No. 241: We don&amp;#039;t suggest using &amp;quot;baby&amp;quot; when you don&amp;#039;t remember a woman&amp;#039;s name. We suggest remembering a woman&amp;#039;s name. Colleen Clark, 29, Brooklyn No. 506: If a woman is taller than you (or shorter than you by less than an inch or two), don&amp;#039;t make any snide remarks when she wears heels. Just don&amp;#039;t. Brooke Carey, 24, Queens, New York No. 662: You don&amp;#039;t have to make the bed in the morning. Your socks can miss the hamper nine out of 10 times. It&amp;#039;s not the end of the world when you don&amp;#039;t replace the toilet paper. Just say thanks. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 443: When buying clothing for us, unless you know the up-to-date exact size, go one size smaller. Sarah Jayne Kinney, 24, Boardman, Ohio No. 635: Never mind. Just don&amp;#039;t buy clothes for us, unless we&amp;#039;re there. Sarah Jayne Kinney, 24, Boardman, Ohio No. 812: Supply the condoms. Brooke Carey, 24, Queens, New York No. 881: If a girl wears a sexy outfit and then invites you back to her place (or goes to yours), that&amp;#039;s your invitation to make a move. It doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily mean she will sleep with you, but it does mean she has already considered it. And she probably shaved her legs that day. Brooke Carey, 24, Queens, New York No. 482: To us, romance isn&amp;#039;t dead. Even if we&amp;#039;ve been married for years. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 738: We pluck hairs out of places you would never imagine. It&amp;#039;s probably best that you don&amp;#039;t know all the locations. Kelly Carney, 29, Chicago No. 650: We like guys that are into other girls. We like the challenge. Rachael Keck, 22, Cincinnati No. 468: We aren&amp;#039;t all romantic comedy junkies. Some of us would rather watch The Godfather. Except Part III. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 519: When we cry and you don&amp;#039;t know why, just know this: We&amp;#039;ll be back shortly. Rachel Crader, 23, Leopold, Missouri  No. 377: Some of us have fantasies about women. And they don&amp;#039;t involve Cinemax style soft-core plots. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 384: We&amp;#039;re never going to stop hoping for an N&amp;#039;SYNC reunion. Rachel Crader, 23, Leopold, Missouri No. 276: Accents are nice, sure. But they&amp;#039;re not an excuse to talk about yourself all night. Brooke Carey, 24, Queens, New York No. 647: We need another pair of shoes like you need another sports jersey. Rachel Crader, 23, Leopold, Missouri No. 648: Also: we worry really and truly worry about our shoes not matching our purse. Rachel Crader, 23, Leopold, Missouri No. 453: Don&amp;#039;t ever let us win. Sarah Wright, 21, New York No. 305: We don&amp;#039;t respond to yelling construction workers. Sarah Wright, 21, New York No. 719: If it looks like a woman and her friend are having a good conversation, it&amp;#039;s absolutely not a good time to try and meet them. Katie Dinardo, 23, Brooklyn, NY No. 876: If a woman gives you her phone number for the sole purpose of wrapping up a project at work, it doesn&amp;#039;t count as &amp;quot;getting her number.&amp;quot; Naomi Weisbrook, 28, Columbia, Missouri No. 982: Remember how we take our coffee, eggs, and In-N-Out burgers. Your attention to detail is what makes us love you. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 926: Wearing a phone earpiece makes you look like a drug dealer. Katie Dinardo, 23, Brooklyn No. 678: We&amp;#039;re sorry that we sometimes forget to label e-mails NSFW. But honestly, every now and then we do it on purpose. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 708: We&amp;#039;re completely jealous that you get to take your shirt off in public when it&amp;#039;s scorching out. Sarah Wright, 21, New York No. 768: Abs, biceps, pecs we think your naked ankles peeping out of canvas shoes are much sexier. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 379: If we wear sexy lingerie, take a deep breath, just a moment to appreciate it. Think about it: if we wanted you to just take it off, we would have gone commando. Brooke Carey, 24, Queens, New York No. 250: We are just as obsessed with other women&amp;#039;s breasts as you are. Brooke Carey, 24, Queens, New York No. 149: We will love you more if you deny the fact that we are crazy. Michelle Dalpont, 22, Costa Mesa, California No. 411: A little thing about sex: Its better when you don&amp;#039;t ask for it. Michelle Dalpont, 22, Costa Mesa, California No. 545: It&amp;#039;s not just moms that know everything. Whitney Tressel, 24, Youngstown, Ohio No. 296: Don&amp;#039;t suggest going as a pair to a Halloween party. Corny isn&amp;#039;t clever. Whitney Tressel, 24, Youngstown, Ohio No. 331: Let us go with you to Guys&amp;#039; Night, every now and then. It makes us feel cool. Sarah Wright, 21, New York No. 606: Texting at dinner. You&amp;#039;ve got to be kidding. Whitney Tressel, 24, Youngstown, Ohio No. 462: We&amp;#039;re surprisingly impressed when you remember tricky-to-pronounce designers: Balenciaga, Marchesa, Ann Demeulemeester. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 491: It&amp;#039;s fine if you don&amp;#039;t like our friends. What&amp;#039;s really important to us is that they like you. Kate Goldwater, 26, Milwaukee No. 633: You should be able to read our minds at all times. Monica Thakkar, 26, Houston No. 580: We like it when you&amp;#039;re direct. So just say it. Leticia Frazao, 25, New York No. 474: When I take you shopping, encouraging me to go into boutiques makes me want to pull you into the dressing room. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 254: Even if you think we should work out to relieve stress, this is what it sounds like to us: &amp;quot;you&amp;#039;re fat.&amp;quot; Leticia Frazao, 25, New York No. 353: Note: We&amp;#039;re better at math than you might think. Sarah Wright, 21, New York No. 263: Giving a back massage doesn&amp;#039;t always have to lead to sex. Volunteer at your own risk. Sarah Jayne Kinney, 24, Boardman, Ohio No. 389: Those few times we ask you to buy the tampons: it&amp;#039;s a life or death situation. Elsie Gonz\u00E1les, 24, Mayag\u00FCez, Puerto Rico No. 536: A coffee shop, plus a great conversation, beats a walk on the beach. Hands down. Lupita Trigos, 24, Mexico City, Mexico No. 627: We notice if you wear the same pair of shoes all the time. A couple more pairs wouldn&amp;#039;t hurt but we should always have more. Way more. Luce Melendez, 22, New York No. 523: Tears? They&amp;#039;re weapons. We really don&amp;#039;t care half the time. Joanne Martinez, 23, Brooklyn No. 958: When we see you, we immediately think about what you&amp;#039;ll look like with your shirt off. Were just too timid to say it. Tiffany Brown, 28, Brooklyn  No. 830: A thoughtful gift is better than an expensive one. But expensive gifts can be nice too. Sarah Jayne Kinney, 24, Boardman, Ohio No. 759: Never honk when picking us up. Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago No. 667: Don&amp;#039;t feel threatened when other men chat us up. If you have a good woman on your hands, there&amp;#039;s nothing to worry about. Believe us. Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 440: We love it when you&amp;#039;re put together. Alana Reich, 20, Brooklyn No. 398: We know we talk a lot. We just love words speaking them, writing them and there are times when we just want you to be our sounding board.

Sarah Jayne Kinney, 24, Boardman, Ohio No. 138: Foot rubs, back rubs, head rubs. Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago No. 407: At the end of a first date: Walk us to the door, say you hope we had a good time, and ask if you can call us again. Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago No. 315: Even a text can be thoughtful, if it means you&amp;#039;re thinking of us. Leticia Frazao, 25, New York No. 637: We&amp;#039;re grateful for our feminist predecessors. But certain aspects of being a housewife don&amp;#039;t seem half bad. Stephanie Weir, 29, St. Louis No. 751: If a woman at the bar claims to be a lesbian, or says, &amp;quot;She and I are together,&amp;quot; there&amp;#039;s a chance she&amp;#039;s straight, and not interested. Heather Brecht, 22, San Diego No. 322: We notice hot guys all the time, but we&amp;#039;re discreet. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 108: The phrase &amp;quot;stop calling&amp;quot; has a subtext: no texts, either. Rachel Henke, 21, Quincy, Illinois No. 280: Don&amp;#039;t comment on how much or how little we eat. Haiyen Chin, 33, Brooklyn No. 846: When you&amp;#039;re running out the door, stop and give us a hug. And a kiss. We&amp;#039;ll remember it all day. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California No. 935: Even if we&amp;#039;re your wife, don&amp;#039;t stop thinking of us as your girlfriend. Suzanne Smith, 39, Queens, New York No. 549: We love to stare at our pores in the mirror. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 613: As men, you tend to forget things. As women, it takes us twice as many good thoughts to get rid of bad thoughts. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 303: We think Stefon from Family Matters is hot. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 942: The more you ask for confirmation that you are not, in fact, balding, the more convinced we become that, now that you mention it, in fact, you are. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 504: Using coupons to pay for a date is not okay under any circumstance, ever. If you utter the word &amp;quot;Groupon&amp;quot; on a first date, there won&amp;#039;t be a second. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 475: We like sensitivity. That doesn&amp;#039;t mean we like hearing about your therapy sessions. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 754: Watching you eat soft serve out of a cone makes us uncomfortable. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 188: Building our Ikea furniture for us is sexy and does not go unnoticed. Maybe it&amp;#039;s the Scandinavian thing. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 83: Surprise! We hate Elsa Peretti. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 266: We notice when you give up your seat on the train or bus. Every time. Esther Choi, 31, Chicago No. 496: We measure your manliness against the percentage of time you spend whimpering when afflicted with a head cold. Stephanie Krema, 30, Chicago No. 151: Don&amp;#039;t assume every woman you go out with is dying to be in a relationship. Women be shoppin&amp;#039;. Joanna Borns, 25, West Lafayette, Indiana No. 957: If we&amp;#039;ve gone to all the trouble of nicknaming your penis, you should at least return the favor. Joanna Borns, 25, West Lafayette, Indiana No. 865: &amp;quot;High-maintenance&amp;quot; is a term that should be used to describe old cars, toy poodles, historic buildings, and never women. Joanna Borns, 25, West Lafayette, Indiana No. 134: We don&amp;#039;t want you to have any female friends, despite our having male friends. We just don&amp;#039;t trust other women. Because we are women. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 360: We do a billion things to our skin, hair, nails, etc. just to keep them pretty. Notice. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 709: We don&amp;#039;t want to watch you play Grand Theft Auto unless you let us play and give us the cheat codes for the chainsaw and the jetpack. Joanna Borns, 25, West Lafayette, Indiana No. 640: Be sure to give us regular updates on the progress of your fantasy football team. Kidding! Joanna Borns, 25, West Lafayette, Indiana No. 342: When we tell you you look cute, it also means sexy and hot. Cute is just the go-to word for that. Take it seriously. Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 983: We are not all impressed by guitar players. Everyone can play three chords of &amp;quot;Lake of Fire.&amp;quot; Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 391: Just make sure no part of your body is smelly, okay? Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 162: We will never ask for popcorn or candy at movies but if you get some we will always help you eat it. Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 238: Compliments on our clothes when sincere are generally unexpected and loved. And it&amp;#039;s so easy. Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 827: Confederacy of Dunces? The Unbearable Lightness of Being? It kind of freaks us out that men gravitate towards books about losers and misogynists. Colleen Clark, 29, Brooklyn No. 946: Sometimes, the best gift you can give us is to start humming a song that suits a moment. Sharon Morrison, 61, Montreal, Quebec No. 731: We get satisfaction from fixing or healing someone who really needs us to fix or heal him. Sharon Morrison, 61, Montreal, Quebec  No. 677: It&amp;#039;s sexy when you play with babies. Monica Thakkar, 26, Houston, Texas No. 809: If you have an X-Men poster, it had better not be in a frame. If you have a college-era tie-dyed tapestry, take it down. Colleen Egan, 30, New York No. 277: Actually, if you have an X-Men poster, take it down. Colleen Egan, 30, New York No. 383: Those shoes that are a cross between a bowling shoe and a sneaker you know, the ones you thought were a really cool alternative to dress shoes? They&amp;#039;re not. Throw them out. For the love of all that is good. Colleen Clark, 29, Brooklyn No. 290: Old Spice. Then. Now. Forever. Takes a girl right back to backseat make-outs and missing curfew. Colleen Clark, 29, Brooklyn No. 788: If she tells you to never call her again and hangs up on the phone with you, there is a fifty percent chance your girlfriend will be waiting near her phone for you to call her. Louise Truong, 21, Anaheim, California No. 257: We throw away delicious chocolate ice cream cake when people are around so we seem conscious about what we eat, but then plow through a family size bag of Cheeto puffs in the privacy of our own rooms. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 372: If you don&amp;#039;t know that Cookie Crisp is bad for you, make an effort to learn at least a little bit about food and nutrition. Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 454: We never, ever want to get matching jerseys and attend a sporting event with you. Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 422: We don&amp;#039;t all know the words to Journey songs, but if you do, we won&amp;#039;t judge. Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 211: When we tell you that we want to be friends after you break up with us, it&amp;#039;s because we think that at some point we will get naked in front of you and reel you back in. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 585: Food preparation takes lots more time than buying flowers. Alix Stoll, 52, Levittown, New York No. 853: Whatever mean things we say about your ex, it&amp;#039;s in your best interest to agree with us, even if it&amp;#039;s completely unfounded. When you don&amp;#039;t, you have just waved a red flag in front of an already pissed off bull. And your shit is gonna get broke. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 917: Don&amp;#039;t underestimate the power of telling us that we&amp;#039;re beautiful. This works for more than you might be aware of. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 970: And yeah, damnit, not calling does keep us interested. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 842: Your super-close relationship with your mother freaks us out. Molly Erman, 25, New York No. 885: Sex is not a race to see who orgasms first. In fact, if you try to finish first, we won&amp;#039;t give you a chance to make up for it. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 320: Sometimes, we just complain about our periods so you leave us alone. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 251: Women want sex, too. Probably as much as you. But we&amp;#039;re ladies. And we do get headaches. Jennifer Davidick, 30, Hazelton, Pennsylvania No. 412: We may say we&amp;#039;re sports fans, but we&amp;#039;re probably trying to impress you. Don&amp;#039;t ask us to watch the game. That&amp;#039;s like calling our bluff. Michele Pepio, Staten Island, New York No. 565: If you&amp;#039;re shit-talking your ex, her friends, her pets, or her job, we wonder what you might say about us someday. Ainsley Drew Nelson, 28, New York No. 771: Things we feel guilty about loving: breakfast at fast food restaurants, songs by Fergie, sparkly shoes.

Michelle Manchir, 25, Richmond, Indiana No. 693: If we tell you we might be open to a threesome, don&amp;#039;t bring up your ex-girlfriend as a possible third, or you&amp;#039;ll be lucky to get a twosome. Carrie Gelzleichter, 28, Tempe, Arizona No. 502: We are acutely aware of the fact that by &amp;quot;fixing&amp;quot; something that&amp;#039;s broken, you often mean taking it apart and not being able to put it back together. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 436: Honest truly is the best policy, even if it means saying those jeans really do make our butt look fat. Jen Russell, 26, Mexico, Montana No. 749: Drunk dialing: Fun for you, not fun for us. Maura E. McGill No. 664: Sometimes not always, but sometimes the best thing you can respond with is, &amp;quot;It sounds like you&amp;#039;re pretty upset about this, aren&amp;#039;t you?&amp;quot; Molly Farrell, 30, New Haven, Connecticut No. 455: We think movies, books, TV shows, and plays are never objectively bad or good you just either like it or you don&amp;#039;t. Men somehow think there&amp;#039;s a right answer. Molly Farrell, 30, New Haven, Connecticut No. 191: We dig on your hot friends. They make you look hotter. We want to flirt with them. We want them to want us. We won&amp;#039;t actually do anything with them. But they are an unquestionable asset of yours. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 348: We fucking hate catcalls. Molly Farrell, 30, New Haven, Connecticut No. 347: Don&amp;#039;t ever say, &amp;quot;Give us a smile.&amp;quot; Molly Farrell, 30, New Haven, Connecticut No. 272: We&amp;#039;ve said it before, we&amp;#039;ll say it again: The best pickup line is &amp;quot;Hi, my name is ___. What&amp;#039;s yours?&amp;quot; Molly Farrell, 30, New Haven No. 137: We would actually love men to make more decisions. It&amp;#039;s tiring deciding what to do for dinner, where to go out to eat, what movie to watch, etc. A little help calling the smaller shots, please. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 943: We own hundreds of Martha Stewart magazines stacks and stacks. We haven&amp;#039;t read any of them. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 176: We let you win. It&amp;#039;s just easier this way. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 636: We want to know what you&amp;#039;re thinking; even if you don&amp;#039;t know what you&amp;#039;re thinking yet. Jodie Love, 25, Brooklyn No. 813: Just because you&amp;#039;re in a relationship doesn&amp;#039;t mean you&amp;#039;re going to suddenly turn blind to other women that&amp;#039;s unnatural and just plain weird. But please, do it more discreetly than you already think you are. Learn from us. We do it without being detected. Haiyen Chin, 33, Brooklyn No. 781: Just go ahead and admit you like watching Glee, too. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 470: We say that we think about our boyfriends all the time. We really mean it, and to a disturbing degree. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 225: When we say that we want a date night, we don&amp;#039;t need all the bells and whistles. Just a little thought. Lan Nguyen, 24, Huntington Beach, California No. 148: We know you notice when we&amp;#039;ve missed a spot shaving. Thank you for not pointing it out. Thank you for not idly playing with it as well. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 410: We will give you a massage if you ask, as long as we get one in return. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California  No. 324: We take so long to get ready because we like dressing up and we like when you check us out at a party. It&amp;#039;s really all for that one moment. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California No. 909: That thing where you get in a woman&amp;#039;s face on the street and ask repeatedly for her number? Has that ever actually worked for any man, ever? Rachel Giuliani, 27, Brooklyn No. 848: We like a man who has other girlfriends so he doesn&amp;#039;t give us too much trouble. Sharon Morrison, 61, Montreal, Quebec No. 696: We like a man who can pull slivers out. Sharon Morrison, 61, Montreal, Quebec No. 365: We won&amp;#039;t think less of you if you pee sitting down. It just makes sense. Rachel Giuliani, 27, Brooklyn No. 572: If we lock eyes with you whilst we&amp;#039;re bumping and grinding with someone else male or female on the dance floor, buckle up. Cancel tomorrow morning&amp;#039;s appointments. Stock the prophylactic supply. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 986: Even if you only know how to cook one thing, master that thing. Rachel Giuliani, 27, Brooklyn No. 712: If you have yet to see your girlfriend try on your jeans, it&amp;#039;s because she doesn&amp;#039;t fit them. Lauren Cusimano, 24, Phoenix No. 892: Smiling and nodding is a sign of boredom, not of interest. Annie Hawkins, 28, New York No. 528: Asking you to become friends on Facebook simply means that we want to be friends on Facebook. Try not to read into it. Annie Hawkins, 28, New York No. 376: Tip of the day: It&amp;#039;s almost as bad to use too little product in your hair as too much. Rein it in if it needs reining. Annie Hawkins, 28, New York No. 249: Remember the girl&amp;#039;s name that you just slept with, and do not use a nickname like &amp;quot;baby&amp;quot; to hide the fact you can&amp;#039;t remember. You&amp;#039;re not good at it. Kimberly Sentner, 30, Brooklyn No. 295: When saying three big words, do not A) Look the other way so the girl isn&amp;#039;t sure who you&amp;#039;re talking to. B) Tap it in Morse code on her lips. C) Say it so quietly we have to ask you to repeat it because we honestly couldn&amp;#039;t hear it. Kimberly Sentner, 30, Brooklyn No. 612: Some women have picked out baby names since they were teenagers. We often have to change them because the ones we originally loved have become too popular and we want our child to be one-of-a-kind. This is not an attempt to freak you out. It&amp;#039;s in our nature. Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago No. 586: Fart jokes are funny. You farting is not. Stacey Whiteley, 40, Albany, New York No. 765: If you want to try something new in bed, try not to spring it on us during the act. Discuss, then do. You&amp;#039;ll get much better results. Stacey Whiteley, 40, Albany, New York No. 311: We as women want to be independent, but it would be awesome if you could save us some money by paying for everything. Yahaira Ulloa, 28, Elmwood Park, New Jersey No. 394: I&amp;#039;d say about 987 of the thousand things guys don&amp;#039;t know about women involve the G-spot. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 557: Talking about your ex too much or never talking about her at all are both considered to be highly suspect behavior. You can&amp;#039;t win that one. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 866: We like vacations. Lots of vacations. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 953: Confidence, not arrogance. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 828: With the recession, some men feel like they can&amp;#039;t afford to take their lady out to a nice dinner, but don&amp;#039;t let that get in your way of being creative: Pack us two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a bottle of wine, a blanket and walk us to a park. See? Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 679: Belching after a meal is not a compliment. Shannon Ingram, 58, Mission Viejo, California No. 534: If we ask you to split dessert, shut up, smile, and do it. Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California No. 424: Guys hate it when girls are super-insecure and constantly need to verification that they look good? Well, we hate it when you do it too. Alissa Stewart, 24, San Francisco No. 799: You already know everything about women. You just choose to ignore it. Canelle Boughton, 23, New York No. 802: There&amp;#039;s not a Merry Maid service who comes to clean up after you when you leave the kitchen. Didn&amp;#039;t know that, did you? Rebecca Kassirer, 29, Poughkeepsie, New York No. 959: We are approachable. Aliza Brinn, 21, New York No. 922: Just because we sometimes get mad about something stupid, like you putting your dirty shoe on our bed, doesn&amp;#039;t mean you shouldn&amp;#039;t take us seriously when we&amp;#039;re mad about you forgetting our date. Rachel Heaton, 22, Columbia, Missouri No. 537: Every woman who has ever said she didn&amp;#039;t like a man with a hairy chest changed her mind the first time she dated one. Shannon Beckett, 20, Cincinnati No. 335: We will be jealous when you talk to other girls. It doesn&amp;#039;t mean we don&amp;#039;t trust you, that&amp;#039;s just the way it is. Carrie Gelzleichter, 28, Tempe, Arizona  No. 610: If it&amp;#039;s a choice between seeing us or seeing your friends, we always want you to pick us. Monica Thakkar, 26, Houston No. 542: Just because we&amp;#039;re vegetarian doesn&amp;#039;t mean we care if you are. Stop freaking out. Monica Thakkar, 26, Houston No. 91: We pretend to be jealous of the attention you give to your smart phone, but in reality, we&amp;#039;re glad that the only other buttons you&amp;#039;re pressing are on your Blackberry, and not another woman. Andrea Lin, 23, Cherry Hill, New Jersey No. 164: Getting us lost is not a turn-on. Get a GPS. Susan Muramoto, 20, Union City, California No. 385: Not all women care about fashion, or other stereotypically &amp;quot;girly&amp;quot; things, but we all wish you would talk to us more. Not just about your feelings that gets old for everyone but about anything at all. Teresa Jusino, 30, New York No. 308: We can appreciate a nice butt as much as you do, we&amp;#039;re just better at being discreet about it. Carrie Gelzleichter, 28, Tempe, Arizona No. 819: Never answer your phone or text in the middle of sex. Never. Carrie Gelzleichter, 28, Tempe, Arizona No. 960: If you tell us we should give you a blowjob, we probably won&amp;#039;t. Giving us a backrub is a far more eloquent way of asking. Carrie Gelzleichter, 28, Tempe, Arizona No. 888: When it&amp;#039;s clear that we&amp;#039;ve made an effort to do something for you, thank us. Even if you don&amp;#039;t understand why, just do it. Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta No. 510: Manscaping. A little goes a long way. Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta No. 197: Being called &amp;quot;baby&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;doll&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;babydoll&amp;quot; is not a turn-on. Nikki Saint Bautista, 24, Brooklyn No. 721: Overly shaped eyebrows are only attractive if you&amp;#039;re a drag queen. Put the tweezers down and never pick them up again. Lupita Trigos, 24, Mexico City, Mexico No. 939: There are few things that give us more pleasure than sinking into your Aqua di Gio-drenched sweatshirt. Lupita Trigos, 24, Mexico City, Mexico No. 375: We notice how long it takes for you to answer a text message. We time it down to the last nanosecond. Then we analyze why it took you that long. We&amp;#039;re like that. Luce Melendez, 22, New York No. 414: Information not to disclose during a first date: that you love Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy, that you cried watching Terms of Endearment, and that your mom picks your clothes. Luce Melendez, 22, New York No. 261: We don&amp;#039;t mind when you ask us for our number in line at the grocery store in fact it allows us to conveniently analyze your food selection before responding. Ashlie Zussman, 25, Corona del Mar, California No. 423: You know never to ask us out by texting, right? Right? Ashlie Zussman, 25, Corona del Mar, California No. 601: We would rather you not give us flowers. They die. Michell Favin, 20, New York No. 602: Giving birth isn&amp;#039;t all that bad. Joanne Martinez, 23, Brooklyn No. 487: If you seek out our eye contact in a crowded place and we smile back at you, take that as a sign to come talk to us. Sometimes eye contact can be sexier than anything else. Cara Possemato, 23, Brooklyn No. 968: R-rated sex scenes are a turn-on. Porn not so much. Mary Joan Arreglado, 26, Tustin, California No. 493: Make some noise in the sack, already. Or we&amp;#039;ll stop doing the thing we don&amp;#039;t realize you love. Mary Joan Arreglado, 26, Tustin, California No. 219: Don&amp;#039;t expect us to wait for you if you&amp;#039;re not ready to commit. When you come back we might be married or have a kid. Tiffany Brown, 28, Brooklyn No. 146: We need you to be our emotional support. Anneke Schut, 33, Amsterdam, Holland No. 787: When choosing between giving us a pep talk or a good, long hug, seriously consider the hug. Jenny Harding, 30, Aliso Viejo, California No. 741: In the morning, we would rather have coffee in bed than sex in the kitchen. From Marinella Georgino, 28, Costa Mesa, California No. 630: Dirty text messages are encouraged. But two caveats: Don&amp;#039;t make them NC-17 if we&amp;#039;re at work we could get caught, and that would be awkward and don&amp;#039;t send them at 9:05 A.M. when we&amp;#039;ve just walked through the door. A day full of sexual anticipation is way harder to bear than a few hours. Rachel Heaton, 22, Columbia, Missouri No. 463: We too brag to our friends about random hook-ups and one-night-stands, complete with high-fives. Erin O&amp;#039;Neill, 24, Columbia, Missouri No. 341: Don&amp;#039;t ever call a woman &amp;quot;ma&amp;#039;am.&amp;quot; Said woman will never sleep with you. Erin O&amp;#039;Neill, 24, Columbia, Missouri No. 479: If we look tired, its because we are tired. No need to let us know. Maeden Anda, 29, Rancho Santa Margarita, California No. 913: We expect you to wash your clothes after you wear them, not just when they smell. Maeden Anda, 29, Rancho Santa Margarita, California No. 36: Women don&amp;#039;t like doubtful men. Jenean Davis, 26, Brooklyn No. 233: The right girl will never be content with being second best. Anne-Marie Kida, 22, Wood-Ridge, New Jersey No. 649: Just man up and ask us out. If we bite your head off, we werent worth it. Wed probably at least grab a coffee with you. Jka Kremer, 21, Los Angeles No. 691: Constantly making fun of a girl to her face doesnt make you funny or witty or sexy or whatever. It just makes you a douchebag. Alissa Stewart, 24, San Francisco No. 739: Your enthusiasm for belching can be adorable sometimes. Don&amp;#039;t push it. Eva Meszaros, 25, Brooklyn  No. 834: No, we dont want to go back to your dorm room. Megan McDonnell, 30, Los Angeles No. 920: You find a girl who truly loves watching or playing every sport as much as you do, there&amp;#039;s a chance she also loves girls as much as you do. Just so you know. Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California No. 831: If you didn&amp;#039;t hear us, don&amp;#039;t pretend you did. You never win this game. Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California No. 352: We don&amp;#039;t care where you are or who you&amp;#039;re with. We just want to know you&amp;#039;re alive. Send a text, a flare, or a pigeon. Don&amp;#039;t make us worry. Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California No. 126: When we are pregnant, &amp;quot;big&amp;quot; jokes of any kind are a bad idea. Even if we start the jokes, back away carefully. Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California No. 178: We do appreciate you paying for the first meal on a first date. If you hit it out of the ball park, we will most likely pay for the next date. We might even cook. Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 282: We know that you read our long-winded (dramatic) text messages to your guy friends. We know that you only like messages that read: &amp;quot;Yes,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Maybe,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Naked,&amp;quot; or, at the longest, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll meet you at the bar.&amp;quot; Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 854: Never, ever, ever turn your woman down for sex. Even if you were already sleeping. Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 670: We are your rolling partner, your war buddy. We can be the best friend you&amp;#039;ve ever had but even better, because we will roll around naked with you. Just a reminder. Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 570: We understand that you might not be into ruffles or ballet flats or shoulder pads, but not all versions of beauty involve Tawny Kitaen straddling a sports car in a Whitesnake video. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 451: Little things like table manners matter to us because in the back of our minds, were always thinking &amp;quot;could I introduce this guy to my parents?&amp;quot; And if youre burping at the table with a face full of mayo, the answer is a resounding &amp;quot;no.&amp;quot; Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 481: Were not into sloppy drunkenness. It gives us PTSD from dating frat boys in college. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 707: We have lots of sexual fantasies. From being a dominatrix to being deflowered by a mechanic, the fantasies can run the gamut. Go with it. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 868: We do really care about what you&amp;#039;re talking about, but sometimes we just need to not pay attention for a few minutes. Janice Tsai, 30, Sacramento No. 952: We want to trust you, which is why we hire private detectives. Yahaira Ulloa, 28, Elmwood Park, New Jersey No. 932: Thanks for telling us how cute we look when we&amp;#039;re enraged, but it&amp;#039;s really not the time. Lauren Cusimano, 24, Phoenix No. 753: ZZ Top was right: Knowing how to rock a suit or dress uniform will noticeably increase your sexiness. We don&amp;#039;t know why, but it works. Ditto with guitars. Unless, ironically, you look like ZZ Top. Rachel Giuliani, 27, Brooklyn No. 844: We know your &amp;quot;guy time&amp;quot; with your friends is a healthy thing. But so is our girl time with our friends. Andrea Malquist, 20, Chicago No. 578: Be honest. Chances are we&amp;#039;re just waiting for you to speak up and go after what you want so we can say &amp;#039;yes&amp;#039;. Rachel Henke, 21, Quincy, Illinois No. 327: We might be your best friend, but we&amp;#039;ll never be one of the guys. So no, we dont want to come smell that. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 207: Given the opportunity, we might still play with Barbies. And thoroughly enjoy it. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 294: We consider laundry sorting, washing, drying, and folding an art form. Please do not touch. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 64: We think it&amp;#039;s sweet when you do the household chores we usually take care of, even if you screw it up. Sometimes especially when you screw it up. Jen Russell, 26, Mexico, Missouri No. 395: We dont care about duvet covers either. And what is a dust ruffle? Joanna Borns, 25, Lafayette, Indiana No. 437: Even the most ardent feminist likes to be swept off her feet with an unplanned spontaneous romantic gesture. Trust me. Jennifer Dewhirst Steshyn, 51, Lakeland, Florida No. 336: If you have to ask, &amp;quot;Is my beard working?&amp;quot; Its not. Joanna Borns, 25, Lafayette, Indiana No. 901: The Facebook relationship status section is frivolous, nosy, and unnecessary. But after four months of knocking boots, you&amp;#039;d better believe we&amp;#039;re expecting to see an update. Ainsley Drew Nelson, 28, New York No. 45: We like to eat. Not just salads and seeds and nuts, but meat and fattening junk food. There, that just needed to be said. Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island, New York No. 991: If we tell you that we like what you&amp;#039;re doing in bed, keep doing exactly what you&amp;#039;re doing and don&amp;#039;t improvise. Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island, New York No. 796: We want to watch you play first-person shooter games about as much as you want to watch reruns of Sex and the City. Rachel Baron, 26, Chicago No. 525: My best girlfriend? Just accept her and the fact that she&amp;#039;ll always be there, and that we will always be ridiculous. Jennifer Davidick, 30 Hazleton, Pennsylvania No. 362: Know what we&amp;#039;re thinking. Even though we give you mixed signals. Even after ten years. Jennifer Davidick, 30 Hazleton, Pennsylvania No. 805: A hug followed by eye contact followed by pushing our hair behind our ear followed by a soft kiss takes less than twenty seconds and says far more than a verbal apology. Meredith Blake Matthews, 26, Pittsburgh No. 766: We said we&amp;#039;d go fishing with you. We never said we&amp;#039;d enjoy it. Meredith Blake Matthews, 26, Pittsburgh No. 979: Deep down, we&amp;#039;re well aware that we&amp;#039;re bad drivers. Just let us live the dream and agree that we totally had the right of way in that pedestrian zone back there. Meredith Blake Matthews, 26, Pittsburgh No. 248: All women have a whole drawer of panties they hope no one will ever find out about. Even that sexy little thing who walked by you this morning on your way to get coffee has unmentionable panties lurking in her bedroom. Danielle Scotti, 23, Pittsburgh  No. 273: Imagine the worst charley horse you&amp;#039;ve ever had, and place it somewhere between your bellybutton and your asshole. That&amp;#039;s what we mean by &amp;quot;cramps.&amp;quot; Be sympathetic. Stephanie Weir, 29, St. Louis No. 621: We know when our male friends have a crush on us. We just pretend we don&amp;#039;t so that you&amp;#039;ll fix things and take us places without us having to sleep with you. And we&amp;#039;re sorry. Stephanie Weir, 29, St. Louis No. 879: If we tell you we&amp;#039;re married, that&amp;#039;s your cue to talk to our friend who is not wearing a wedding ring. Is that at all unclear? Lindsay Coluccio, 33, Newport Beach, California No. 954: You&amp;#039;re a brave one to suggest that we&amp;#039;re in any way like our mothers. Did you forget that we can&amp;#039;t stand our mothers? Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 589: Okay. We&amp;#039;re becoming our mothers. It&amp;#039;s a reality we surrender to with a little less of a fight every stinking day. No, we&amp;#039;re not happy about it. Frankly, it sucks. But it&amp;#039;s part of the evolutionary process. So if you hate our mothers, run. Run fast and hard and don&amp;#039;t leave a forwarding address. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York, NY No. 253: Make mental notes of what we like: dark chocolate, Sinatra, old books, the White Sox, specifically Jim Thome, Tom Petty, you in sweaters. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 309: Women&amp;#039;s magazines have very few words and lots of pictures. That&amp;#039;s why we read Esquire. Davian den Otter, 32, Ottawa Ontario Canada No. 435: We don&amp;#039;t really care which side of the street you walk on when we&amp;#039;re together. Most of us don&amp;#039;t even know which side of the street you&amp;#039;re supposed to walk on. But please make sure we don&amp;#039;t have to walk on grates in the sidewalk especially if we&amp;#039;re in heels. Meryl Rothstein, 26, New York No. 267: The nice lingerie isn&amp;#039;t always for you. Often, it&amp;#039;s for us. Barbara Govednik, 46, Chicago No. 871: If you&amp;#039;re going on a trip, leave us the Oxford you wore yesterday. Ask us to wear it and think of you. Will we do that wearing your shirt? Perhaps we will. Stephanie Shaughnessy, 41, Pittsburgh No. 839: Nothing ruins a good date for a girl like using a bathroom that smells like a urinal. Beth Gadbois, 44, Stowe, Vermont No. 154: Think long and hard before you forward that funny, funny e-mail. Hannah Friedman, 29, Baltimore No. 950: We can tell when you&amp;#039;re not listening. Hey! You! Yanira Rosario, 21, Carolina, PR No. 777: We like to share appetizers. Suggest one. Marianne Towersey, 59, Pebble Beach, California No. 715: Trimming, shaving, or waxing body hair makes you less like a man and more like, well, us. Lindsay Coluccio, 33, Newport Beach, California No. 369: We need to have the better hair in the relationship. If it&amp;#039;s a tie, you must put the product down and forfeit. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 428: If you try to use any tips you learned on The Pick-Up Artist, you will be called out for it. Joanna Borns, 25, Lafayette, Indiana No. 747: We like to win. Let us win every once in a while. Or, how about let us tie? That at least takes more thought and we&amp;#039;re okay with being your equal. Danielle Scotti, 23, Pittsburgh No. 593: We will never turn down fresh flowers. Jennifer Davidick, 30 Hazleton, Pennsylvania No. 676: Just pick up the tampons. Do you really think the cashier is going to think they&amp;#039;re for you? Jennifer Davidick, 30 Hazleton, Pennsylvania No. 553: We tend to live by the do-as-we-say rule, not the do-as-we-do rule. So sue us. Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island, New York No. 532: We were checking her out, too. Ainsley Drew Nelson, 28, New York No. 288: If you text us and we call immediately after, please answer the phone. We know you have it right there. Luce Melendez, 22, New York No. 734: All women are secretly made of solid gold. Joanna Borns, 25, Lafayette, Indiana No. 862: If you&amp;#039;re a bad kisser, we assume you&amp;#039;re bad in bed. If you haven&amp;#039;t had much practice, use your hand, or a melon. Do something, because it&amp;#039;s a deal breaker. Maya Contreras, 34, Brooklyn No. 895: We just really, really like frozen yogurt, okay? Have you even tried it? Joanna Borns, 25, Lafayette, Indiana No. 811: If the words, &amp;quot;you have too many shoes,&amp;quot; ever come out of your mouth, be prepared to hear about all of the inane crap of yours we want to get rid of. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 499: Flowers and chocolate are overrated. One doesn&amp;#039;t last and one makes us feel fat. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California No. 26: The less you pack for a vacation, the more we will fill your suitcase up with shoes. Rachel Baron, 26, Chicago No. 121: We&amp;#039;re intimidated by you when you travel in loud packs. We think you&amp;#039;re creepy when you&amp;#039;re out alone. We don&amp;#039;t trust you when you&amp;#039;re out with a female &amp;quot;friend.&amp;quot; Your odds are best when you&amp;#039;re in a group of three or four. Or with us. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 456: For the record, we&amp;#039;ve never met another woman who thought a crotchless teddy was anything but trashy. Same goes for those nighties with the nipples cut out. Wesleann Polkowske, 29, Austin No. 873: More spooning. Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago No. 397: Sorry to be picky, but most of us hate carnations. Whitney Webb, 22, Blacksburg, Virginia No. 587: Suggesting breakfast out in the morning is sometimes just a nice way to get you out. We have lives to lead. Davian den Otter, 32, Ottawa Ontario Canada No. 931: No matter how angry we are at you, how much we curse all men, when it comes down to it, you are what make our hearts smile. Abby Moulton, 30, Farmington Hills, Michigan No. 579: Never underestimate the power of your hands. Kimani Rabess, 29, Brooklyn No. 142: Big, white, clean teeth. Babette Dickerson, 50, Shaker Heights, Ohio No. 654: Our girlfriends have seen that picture we swore to you we deleted. This is just the way it works. It&amp;#039;s best that you don&amp;#039;t even bring it up. Wesleann Polkowske, 29, Austin No. 334: As little girls, we believe that you are gods. As young women, we learn that you are not. As older women, we try to put you back up there. Babette Dickerson, 50, Shaker Heights, Ohio No. 247: We don&amp;#039;t think you&amp;#039;re sensitive because Serendipity is your favorite movie. It just makes us think you have bad taste. Molly Finkelstein, 23, Brooklyn No. 836: We are much less concerned about what you&amp;#039;re going to wear than you think we are. Alix Stoll, 52, Levittown, New York No. 224: Call us on our shit. We need it. We shall call you on your shit. You need it. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 818: We judge you based on how you treat us when we&amp;#039;re sick. Penelope Ruth, 24, Ann Arbor, Michigan No. 228: The most chivalrous thing a man can do is listen when we talk. We don&amp;#039;t want to be asked the same question three times in one night. Kerri Theodore, 28, Tampa, Florida No. 150: There should be a law that tattoos on one shoulder are only for women. Jennifer Musarra, 40, Bayside, New York  No. 703: We don&amp;#039;t need you to change our tires or open jars. But we really love it when you fix our computers. Electronics repair is the twenty-first century version of chivalry. Meryl Rothstein, 26, New York No. 956: Subtle gestures like walking behind us through a crowded room and walking in front of us down the stairs make us feel loved. Abby Moulton, 30, Farmington Hills, Michigan No. 520: Courting should involve an equal ratio of phone calls to text messages, neither of which should occur past midnight. Maura Kutner, 26, New York No. 283: Meeting your friends for the first time is awkward enough, so we&amp;#039;d appreciate it if you didn&amp;#039;t get drunk. Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago No. 69: When you play with my hair, you&amp;#039;re actually making love to me. Did you know that? Babette Dickerson, 50, Shaker Heights, Ohio No. 683: There&amp;#039;s nothing better than breakfast in bed. It&amp;#039;s amazing what the offering of scrambled eggs and toast will do for your sex life. Trust us. Maura Kutner, 26, New York No. 981: If we offer to make you dinner and the recipe calls for a food processor, immersion blender, or other obscure kitchen appliance, it means we like you. Tell us the meal is delicious, and you&amp;#039;re in. Marianne Frapwell, 25, Lawrenceville, Georgia No. 695: If we like you enough, it doesn&amp;#039;t matter if you&amp;#039;re unemployed. Molly Finkelstein, 23, Brooklyn No. 608: Just let us cry. And don&amp;#039;t act all freaked out by it either. We always feel better after a good cry. Kimani Rabess, 29, Brooklyn No. 319: We will always wait for you to tell us you love us first. Kate Goldwater, 26, Milwaukee, Wisconsin No. 736: Men with dogs? Yes. Men with cats? Not so much. Deanna O&amp;#039;Connell, 35, Chicago No. 632: We sweat just as much as you do. But we make sure we keep our deodorant and perfume handy. You should do the same. Sheila Marie, 25, Pensacola, Florida No. 971: Educated, smart women want to hear how beautiful they are, and beautiful women want to hear how smart they are. Never compliment a smart woman for being smart she already knows. Karima Abdel-Moty, 23, Miami No. 381: We love it when we can still make you blush. Nancy Sanchez, 29, Los Angeles No. 30: Tony Stark is not a real person. Stop talking about how cool he is. Kate Goldwater, 26, Milwaukee, Wisconsin No. 98: Everything from the funny joke you told to the way you dug food out of your back molar gets discussed over coffee with our friends. Melissa Reyes, 21, Los Angeles No. 429: Kiss us lightly on the cheek. We love that. Julie Rosenthal, 20, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin No. 507: Hold our hands when we&amp;#039;re alone, hold our hands in front of our girlfriends just hold our hands. Leigh Hedgepeth, 23, Norfolk, VA No. 886: Guys who do a lot of yoga kind of creep us out. You really don&amp;#039;t have to be that bendy. Brenna Ehrlich, 26, Brooklyn No. 157: Wearing a &amp;quot;This is what a feminist looks like&amp;quot; T-shirt may help you get girls, but only if you don&amp;#039;t look like a sleazy douche who&amp;#039;s only wearing it to get girls. Molly Finkelstein, 23, Brooklyn No. 568: No matter how long we&amp;#039;ve been dating, calling to check on us to make sure we got home safely is never not a good idea. Deanna O&amp;#039;Connell, 35, Chicago No. 173: You cannot imagine the amount of stuff we have to do to look this good. It&amp;#039;s like a second job. It&amp;#039;s much more than waxing and manicures. It&amp;#039;s really weird stuff that would completely freak you out. Don&amp;#039;t try to understand it. Just appreciate our effort.Kimani Rabess, 29, Brooklyn No. 354: Bikini waxing actually isn&amp;#039;t as painful as we let on.Jamie Rogers, 28, Sutton, Vermont No. 27: We&amp;#039;re not cleaning your apartment because we love you, we&amp;#039;re cleaning your apartment because we can&amp;#039;t stand the mess for one more minute.Rachael Candee 24, Bloomington, Indiana No. 761: It&amp;#039;s not the age difference that matters, it&amp;#039;s the maturity level.Angela Williamson, 37, Sartell, Minnesota No. 573: We like cards with our gifts, thank you.Angela Williamson, 37, Sartell, Minnesota  No. 724: For a great date, take us down memory lane.

Stop her and kiss us, simply because we love kissing in the rain. Julie Smith, 23, Rochester, Illinois No. 856: We are never begging for attention. It just comes with the outfit.

No, you probably don&amp;#039;t. Erin Elizabeth Winter, 26, Yellow Springs, Ohio No. 551: Every single grooming habit we have, we truly hate.

Shannon Beckett, 20, Cincinnati No. 281: If you want to get us in the shower with you, more important than even having a super-clean shower is having clean towels. Do your laundry. We like adults.

Shannon Lawson, 26, Denver No. 769: Women need details. We know you don&amp;#039;t like to give them, but we want them anyway. Without details, our brains go off on tangents.

Teresa Jusino, 30, New York No. 701: You know that morning trumpet solo you perform in the bathroom every morning that you&amp;#039;re so proud of? Yeah, we can hear that.

Lupita Trigos, 24, Mexico City No. 503: From time to time one of us will confess that we believe Sandra Bullock is sultry. That doesn&amp;#039;t automatically denote that we&amp;#039;re lesbian. Except it might. Alix Stoll, 52, Levittown, New York No. 448: We don&amp;#039;t enjoy hearing you make derogatory comments about the &amp;quot;stuff&amp;quot; we leave on the passenger seat in our cars.

Lindsay Coluccio, 33, Newport Beach, California No. 132: If I&amp;#039;m upset and I refuse to tell you why, it probably means I already realize my reasoning is stupid and I just need to let the hormones wear off.

Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta No. 214: You&amp;#039;ll get automatic bonus points for everything you remember about us: our birthday, eye color, favorite restaurant... as long as you don&amp;#039;t get carried away. Then all you&amp;#039;ll get is an automatic restraining order. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 750: If we tell you we need to go on a diet, we want you to tell us we look good the way we are.

Can&amp;#039;t get enough. Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta No. 393: We need you to be meticulous in your grooming so your beard and neck aren&amp;#039;t creating a follicular Pangea.

Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California No. 584: The only thing we really want to hear about our ex-boyfriends is that they are doing something boring very far away.

Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta No. 86: By the fifth time you thank me for &amp;quot;being cool about it,&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;m not going to be cool about it. Luce Melendez, 22, New York No. 93: We know you love our high heels as much as we do. Lupita Trigos, 24, Mexico City, Mexico No. 882: The reason the Barefoot Contessa makes her husband four-layer chocolate cakes is because they live in East Hampton, she is a saint, and they only see each other on the weekend. You are not going to get that on a random Tuesday while watching 300 on Blu-ray for the fourth time. Just not gonna happen. Order take-out.

Ashlie Zussman, 25, Corona del Mar, California No. 123: It&amp;#039;s not that girls don&amp;#039;t like nice guys, it&amp;#039;s that we can distinguish between genuinely nice and desperate.

Cara Possemato, 23, Brooklyn No. 62: Sending flowers to our office when we&amp;#039;re mad about something we can&amp;#039;t share with colleagues is like a little reminder every time someone stops to ask about the flowers.

Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island, New York No. 244: We like it when your phone does what it&amp;#039;s good for getting us the reservation and enabling you to order flowers but if you play that fucking &amp;quot;Plants vs. Zombies&amp;quot; game while we&amp;#039;re talking to you one more time, you&amp;#039;re sleeping alone. Ainsley Drew Nelson, 28, New York No. 133: We like it when you trust us with your car. Susan Muramoto, 20, Union City, California No. 96: Just in case you were wondering, no, there is no such thing as owning too many purses or too many pairs of shoes. It&amp;#039;s impossible. Lupita Trigos, 24, Mexico City, Mexico No. 227: Some of us may truly enjoy sports we&amp;#039;re not all lying.

Although your sense of humor is what attracted me to you to begin with, there are times when &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s what she said&amp;quot; is not an appropriate response. Stacey Whiteley, 40, Albany, NY No. 291: We&amp;#039;re scared of your mother. It&amp;#039;s just the way it is, the way it has been, and the way it shall ever be.

Rachel Henke, 21, Quincy, Illinois  No. 936: Your girlfriend does not ever in a million years want to be proposed to at a sporting event. She would rather die an old maid. Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta  No. 373: Look down, if we&amp;#039;re wearing heels it&amp;#039;s so our legs can look good. We feel sexy as hell in &amp;#039;em but it usually isn&amp;#039;t all that comfortable so slow the hell down when you&amp;#039;re walking beside us. Thank you. Haiyen Chin, 33, Brooklyn No. 538: We&amp;#039;ll watch the last inning, period, or quarter. That&amp;#039;s it.

We will take irrevocable offense. Eva Meszaros, 25, Brooklyn No. 560: The way to a woman&amp;#039;s heart is through her stomach. Do you bake chocolate-chip cookies from scratch?

Elizabeth Oporto, 26, Merrick, NY No. 298: We don&amp;#039;t understand why your handwriting hasn&amp;#039;t advanced past third grade. And yet, we&amp;#039;re so put off by men with girly writing that we don&amp;#039;t know which we prefer. Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri No. 441: Don&amp;#039;t clean up after shaving just once. It&amp;#039;s cute.

Brenna Ehrlich, 25, Brooklyn No. 921: When breaking up with a woman, just do it. Gently but firmly say that you&amp;#039;re no longer interested. Yes, it will hurt. Break-ups always hurt. Teresa Jusino, 30, New York No. 928: If you tell a woman that you recently saw the film Mutiny on the Bounty, there&amp;#039;s no need to immediately follow that up with &amp;quot;The Bounty is a famous ship.&amp;quot; Women don&amp;#039;t need you to explain things preemptively. Give us a chance. Teresa Jusino, 30, New York No. 657: We know the lotion on your nightstand is not for your hands. We are choosing to overlook this.

Katie Sanders, 20, Newton, Massachusetts No. 556: We don&amp;#039;t subscribe to the notion that foreplay should only come before sex.

Andrea Malquist, 20, Chicago No. 874: In the beginning, &amp;quot;I love you&amp;quot; is important to say.

Jennifer Wilkins, 37, London, England No. 387: If you&amp;#039;re in Vegas and you call us to say you aren&amp;#039;t at a strip club, we&amp;#039;ll believe you. If we call you ten minutes later to really make sure you aren&amp;#039;t at a strip club and you aren&amp;#039;t, we&amp;#039;ll love you forever. And we&amp;#039;re sorry for being crazy, but not really. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 903: Never ever let us see you tip less than 20 percent.

Erica Anderson, 30, St. Louis No. 681: Saying that you&amp;#039;re &amp;quot;babysitting&amp;quot; your own children while your wife is out pisses us off. They are your children. Not your neighbor&amp;#039;s kids. It&amp;#039;s called parenting. Jennifer Dewhirst Steshyn, 51, Lakeland, Florida No. 594: It is not your duty to e-mail us two years after we broke up to tell us you&amp;#039;re engaged, especially if we aren&amp;#039;t speaking. You may as well punch us in the stomach. Rachel Heaton, 22, Columbia, Missouri No. 891: Flat front. Stephanie Shaughnessy, 41, Pittsburgh No. 82:Posting a photo you took of yourself in your bathroom mirror on your online-dating profile is an excellent way to get us to, you know, not respond. Serene Smith, 35, Irvine, California No. 625: Seeing you in a suit never fails to impress us. Mary Block, 26, Miami No. 495: We think every time you watch porn without us a unicorn dies. Which is why they&amp;#039;re extinct. Yahaira Ulloa, 28, Elmwood Park, New Jersey No. 167: We don&amp;#039;t mind carrying something of yours in our purses once in a while. You want to lug a bunch of shit around all the time? Get your own damn purse. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 189: Facebook is every man&amp;#039;s enemy. We will pretend we don&amp;#039;t mind you talking to other girls on Facebook but believe me, we are monitoring every wall post, status update, and newly tagged photos. Hey, it&amp;#039;s on the Internet. Danielle Scotti, 23, Pittsburgh No. 575: We can&amp;#039;t understand how when you come home from the grocery store, we still have no food. Maeden Anda, 29, Rancho Santa Margarita, California No. 898: You know that body hair you&amp;#039;re self conscious about? We love it. It&amp;#039;s the hairless ones that should worry. Leanne Young, 23, Phoenix No. 624: We don&amp;#039;t even know what fantasy football is. Rachel Kibbe, 28, Cleveland No. 6: You don&amp;#039;t need to be handy. If you can&amp;#039;t put up a ceiling fan in under four hours, man up and hire someone else to do the job. We&amp;#039;d much rather meet you at a bar than watch you curse a box or kick a screw across the floor. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York  No. 232: We don&amp;#039;t want a man more polished than us. Slightly wrinkled and smelling a bit of sweat and a bar of soap? Fantastic. Christine Siltanen, 28, Portland, Oregon  No. 438: When we walk into your place and can immediately tell that a guy lives there, that can be either good or very bad. Luce Melendez, 22, New York  No. 34: Kisses are given, taken, and enjoyed, but never asked for. Lupita Trigos, 24, Mexico City  No. 541: We think guys who actually want to watch Sex and the City are kind of weird. Rachel Baron, 26, Chicago  No. 183: You know that rule that says it&amp;#039;s okay for men to fart in front of women? It doesn&amp;#039;t exist. Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island  No. 652: If you are trying to imply that we&amp;#039;re a catch, a compliment works better than asking, &amp;quot;Why are you still single?&amp;quot; Fuck if we know. Megan McDonnell, 30, Los Angeles  No. 420: There is a difference between putting on cologne and bathing. Shannon Ingram, 58, Mission Viejo, California  No. 600: If you take us to a sports bar and sit facing the screen, we&amp;#039;re gonna get bored and flirt with the bartender. Ashlie Zussman, 25, Corona del Mar, California  No. 359: A tank top on a man seems designed solely to show off his hairy armpits, so we&amp;#039;d prefer if you left them to us. Serene Smith, 35, Irvine, California  No. 588: We don&amp;#039;t care all that much if you leave wet towels on the floor, but it&amp;#039;s in our blood to ask you not to. Sue Robinson, 41, Kittery, Maine  No. 784: Nobody doesn&amp;#039;t like a woman in heels. Except men under 5&amp;#039;7.&amp;quot; Ainsley Drew Nelson, 28, New York  No. 374: We don&amp;#039;t all like chick flicks. Jade Ahanin, 17, New York  No. 118: If we&amp;#039;re going on about how much we can&amp;#039;t stand our family or friends, you won&amp;#039;t do yourself any favors by chiming in. Bernadette Lee, 18, New York  No. 243: If a gorgeous, statuesque woman walks by and you comment on how attractive she is, don&amp;#039;t follow that with, &amp;quot;but she&amp;#039;s not as pretty as you.&amp;quot; Come on, now. Lauren Carothers, 24, New York  No. 718: We notice your socks, and there&amp;#039;s just something about a hot pattern once in a while. It&amp;#039;s a little surprise. Dina Schuman, 21, New York  No. 161: We don&amp;#039;t want to change outfits again any more than you want to wait for us to change outfits again, so tell us we look fabulous and let&amp;#039;s go. Charlotte Peach, 24, London   No. 33: That blonde with the nice ass and perky tits? We saw her five seconds before you did, and it&amp;#039;s not you she&amp;#039;s checking out. It&amp;#039;s us. Lauren Kleiman, 32, Irvine, California  No. 84: We think you look best in sweats. Michell Favin, 20, New York  No. 426: Women can be &amp;quot;over it&amp;quot; after a conflict, but we like to be checked on. That shows a deeper understanding of the female emotion, which is sometimes complicated. As you may have noticed. Jodie Love, 25, Brooklyn   No. 757: It is not required that you be the center of attention, bless your heart. Aliza Brinn, 21, New York  No. 192: We love tools. Tools are hot. Learn how to use more tools. Haiyen Chin, 33, Brooklyn  No. 55: If things aren&amp;#039;t working out downtown, concede and just move it back uptown. No need to drag it out. Cara Possemato, 23, Brooklyn  No. 764: Constant reassurance. Constant reassurance. Constant reassurance. Crystal D. Gonzalez, 22, Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico  No. 860: Knowing how much you don&amp;#039;t know: that&amp;#039;s okay. Attractive, even. Pretending you understand is the problem. Jen Montminy, 24, Centre Hall, Pennsylvania   No. 905: We love working out with you. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California   No. 933: Lots of things are silly reasons to break up while being perfectly legitimate reasons not to start a relationship in the first place. For example, please let us know in advance if you don&amp;#039;t like performing oral sex. Rachel Giuliani, 27, Brooklyn  No. 985: We are not all the same, thus you cannot use the same &amp;quot;game&amp;quot; on all of us. Adapt. Thank you. Adrienne Jones, 42, New York  No. 711: Telling me I&amp;#039;m acting ridiculous is the absolute worst way to get me to stop acting ridiculous. Elizabeth Oporto, 26, Merrick, New York  No. 626: There&amp;#039;s not one place in the world we hate more than Guitar Center. Not. One. Place. Lauren Cusimano, 24, Phoenix  No. 851: Tell me I look nice, without additional commentary. &amp;quot;Your hair looks good today, but I liked it better the way you had it on Tuesday.&amp;quot; You killed it. Stacey Whiteley, 40, Albany, New York  No. 889: Please just stand in front of the sign so we can take a novelty picture for our album at home. Just do it. Mary Joan Arreglado, 26, Tustin, California  No. 166: If you show up at my house without calling first, you&amp;#039;d better be wearing a uniform and delivering the mail. Dee Guzman, 18, Fresh Meadows, New York   No. 135: Warm your hands before touching the goods. Jennifer Tincher, 41, Lewis Center, Ohio  No. 196: If you&amp;#039;re wearing sunglasses inside, we think you&amp;#039;re either a pedophile or you&amp;#039;re high. Maeden Anda, 29, Rancho Santa Margarita, California  No. 89: Few things are more appealing than a little unexpected scruff. Leticia Frazao, 25, New York  No. 190: We&amp;#039;re not eating during the date because we ate before. You ought to see what we eat when you&amp;#039;re not around. Katie Sanders, 20, Newton, Massachusetts  No. 97: Thongs are really uncomfortable. So are stiletto heels. Sometimes, looking hot is more important than being practical but not all the time. That&amp;#039;s why we have those sweatpants. Erin O&amp;#039;Neill, 24, Columbia, Missouri  No. 31: We think it&amp;#039;s okay for you to enter the bathroom while we&amp;#039;re using the toilet, but only after eighty years of marriage and you think you&amp;#039;re walking into the garage. Rachel Heaton, 22, Columbia, Missouri  No. 172: We don&amp;#039;t want to be the girl standing somewhere and everyone can tell she&amp;#039;s wondering if she&amp;#039;ll be stood up. It&amp;#039;s okay if you&amp;#039;re late sometimes. Just call. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago  No. 187: It&amp;#039;s not that we mind you telling us how beautiful your longtime female friend is, it&amp;#039;s that you just made us a murder suspect. Yahaira Ulloa, 28, Elmwood Park, New Jersey  No. 213: Want you to love your mother. We just don&amp;#039;t want you to looooovvve your mother. Nicole French, 37, Denver, Colorado  No. 70: One man-trip per year, please. Mercedes Meserve, 32, Newport Beach, California  No. 144: The hottest thing in the world is watching a man deftly perform a task. If you&amp;#039;ve got one thing that you&amp;#039;re good at cooking, carpentry, whatever, let us catch you at it. Kimberly Ryan, 25, Tucson  No. 24: Getting serious freaks us out too. Suzanne Masser, 21, New York  No. 555: We don&amp;#039;t care if it keeps your face looking great. We never want to see you walking around the house wearing Noxzema. Claire Serxner, 25, Houston  No. 897: There is zero correlation between how well we dance and how good we are in bed. Jenny Harding, 30, Aliso Viejo, California  No. 992: Notice what color our underwear is. We spend a lot of time and money picking it out. Birgit Leimer, 22, New York  No. 795: Sometimes, foreplay is overrated. Once in a while, thrust us against a wall when we walk in the door. We&amp;#039;ll thank you for momentarily. Lisa Huber, 38, Teutopolis, Illinois  No. 367: Every woman you&amp;#039;ve ever dates imagined what her name would sound like with your last name. Victoria Mineeva, 25, Moscow, Russia  No. 106: We like the way you pretend you ignore us sometimes. It&amp;#039;s kinda cute. Sometimes. Karolina Kaczmarek, 29, New York  No. 976: If you compensate the checking of your handheld device with some gesture compliment, hand squeeze, kiss on the forehead that lets us know you care more about us than whoever is e-mailing you, it helps. Jennie Engelhardt, 26, New York  No. 212: There is a limit to the amount of time you can spend complaining about something we whispered while intoxicated. Alix Stoll, 52, Levittown, New York  No. 918: Yes, we&amp;#039;re self-sufficient, but we still only earn seventy-seven cents to your dollar. Pony up and pay for the damn date. Becky Ellis, 32, New York  No. 940: Four words that will turn away our wrath: &amp;quot;How can I help?&amp;quot; Judith Brodnicki, 50, Omaha  No. 201: We get perverse joy from eating off of your plate. It&amp;#039;s like our version of pissing on the hydrant. Sarah June Renschler, 30, New York  No. 810: Spontaneity is adorable. Molly Rosen, 33, Chicago  No. 773: We do like to be included in your golf games once in a while, and we&amp;#039;ll even bet with you sometimes for dangerously high stakes. And not just money. Marianne Towersey, 59, Pebble Beach, California  No. 215: When we fight with our mother, please keep in mind that our mother is never right. Meredith Blake Matthews 26, Pittsburgh   No. 113: We really dress to impress other girls. Michell Favin, 20, New York  No. 202: Fantasy Football tells us that you have the time to spend online shopping for jewelry or looking for new places to take us to dinner, but that you choose not to. Lindsay Coluccio, 33, Newport Beach, California  No. 840: We need to adjust our bits, too. We just don&amp;#039;t do it like a piece of performance art. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha  No. 776: At the end of a first date, gaze warmly into our eyes, but refrain from too much chatter. We actually relish those awkward, silent moments just before you finally kiss us. Devon Brooke Clasen, 31, Las Vegas  No. 924: Sometimes we know our bad mood is just PMS but we don&amp;#039;t want to admit it, so we pretend we&amp;#039;re mad at you anyway. We&amp;#039;re sorry. If you learn the cycle, you&amp;#039;ll be prepared. Stephanie Weir, 29, St. Louis  No. 963: We judge your weight and the length of your nails. Joanne Martinez, 23, Brooklyn  No. 645: Timberland boots are a lovely gift, but we don&amp;#039;t want them on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day. Danielle Scotti, 23, Pittsburgh  No. 52: We could always use a little more cowbell. Beth Hurtubise, 64, Chicago  No. 494: No woman, no matter what music she&amp;#039;s into, is immune to the powers of a good booty-shakin&amp;#039; song or the occasional boy band. Jennifer Davidick, 30, Hazleton, Pennsylvania  No. 332: We notice what you have on your nightstand, and we draw as many conclusions as possible. Catlin Moore, 24, Long Beach, California  No. 488: We like your dad. He&amp;#039;s always joking around with us, making us feel at home. But no matter how nice your mother is, we are terrified of her. Brenna Ehrlich, 25, Brooklyn  No. 156: One thing you don&amp;#039;t know about women is that actual number of men we&amp;#039;ve slept with. Don&amp;#039;t worry about it. Mylene Martinez, 30, Brooklyn  No. 988: Internally, we measure how much we love you by how much we&amp;#039;re willing to sacrifice for you. Claudia Luiggi, 21, Mayag\u00B8ez, Puerto Rico  No. 175: We think dirty texting is underestimated. It has the benefits of phone sex without the awkwardness of co-workers or classmates overhearing what we plan to do to you when we get home. Rachael Candee 24, Bloomington, Indiana  No. 951: When we laugh at your joke, there&amp;#039;s a 50 percent chance it&amp;#039;s real. Same goes with orgasms. It&amp;#039;s just nature. Nina Fortuna, 25, New York  No. 94: It never ceases to amaze us how frequently the use of child-rearing techniques works on grown men. Margaret Kingsbury, 24, Brooklyn  No. 949: In the initial stages of flirting, all electronic communication has been approved by a minimum of three of our friends. Katie Sanders, 20, Newton, Massachusetts  No. 823: If you&amp;#039;re going to have a one-night stand, we expect you to give up an article of clothing. Love is a battlefield. Your button-down is a casualty. Jess Goldstein, 21, Berkley Heights, New Jersey  No. 978: The lists we make as girls about the cutest guys at school are the same lists we make in our minds when we&amp;#039;re older we just do it much faster now and only discuss it while drinking. Erica Anderson, 30, St. Louis  No. 29: When we&amp;#039;re thirteen, we really want our period. As soon as we get it, we hate it. We love it when we aren&amp;#039;t trying to get pregnant, hate it when we are. From everything I&amp;#039;ve heard, we miss it a little when we hit menopause. So, there you have it. Heather Ericson, 32, Barre, Massachusetts  No. 966: There is no right way to say, &amp;quot;Wow, I can&amp;#039;t believe you ate that whole thing.&amp;quot; Ainsley Drew Nelson, 28, New York  No. 260: Some stereotypes are true: women need intimacy, we need to discuss things, we want you to be more open about your feelings. So sue us. Anneke Schut, 33, Amsterdam  No. 461: The current pantheon of women&amp;#039;s magazines aren&amp;#039;t nearly as accepting and encouraging as Esquire, so don&amp;#039;t take it for granted, and listen to the ladies contained herein. Kimberly Ryan, 25, Tucson  No. 110: It&amp;#039;s not that we don&amp;#039;t know anything about sports, it&amp;#039;s that we know that you like explaining it so much. Caroline Celano, 28, Cambridge, Massachusetts  No. 301: We&amp;#039;ve always had crushes on you. We never thought you had cooties. Mary Block, 26, Miami  No. 199: After we break up, drunk dials only perpetuate the notion that we could get back together, so we&amp;#039;d prefer if you controlled yourself. Leticia Frazao, 25, New York  No. 902: Don&amp;#039;t buy greeting cards unless you absolutely have to. To put it gently, it&amp;#039;s an art you have yet to master. Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California  No. 807: Just because we&amp;#039;ve scratched your back a couple of nights to help you fall asleep doesn&amp;#039;t mean we want to do it every night of our lives. Shannon Ingram, 58, Mission Viejo, California  No. 408: Little things like table manners matter to us because in the back of our minds, we&amp;#039;re always thinking, could I introduce this guy to my parents? And if you&amp;#039;re burping with a face full of mayo, the answer is &amp;quot;No.&amp;quot; Maura E. McGill, 29, New York  No. 264: We like manly hands, but no one wants to be touched by hard, calloused paws. Moisturize that shit. We do. Haiyen Chin, 33, Brooklyn  No. 312: There should never be rhinestones on your clothing. Or your belt. Ever. We are the sparkly ones. Lindsay Coluccio, 33, Newport Beach, California  No. 357: If possible, never tell us your ex&amp;#039;s full name, because we might not be able to avoid hate-stalking her online for weeks for no actual reason and finding a dumb reason to fight with you. Stephanie Weir, 29, St. Louis  No. 690: We consider not having to shave our legs to be the single greatest perk of being single. Danielle Scotti, 23, Pittsburgh  No. 7: Even tomboys like flowers. Shannon McCarthy, 24, Valencia, California  No. 965: We enjoy Twilight even though it&amp;#039;s a four-volume installment of a fantasy you&amp;#039;ll never live up to. It doesn&amp;#039;t mean you&amp;#039;re not great. It just means you don&amp;#039;t sparkle. Meredith Blake Matthews, 26, Pittsburgh  No. 984: There is a direct correlation between the size of the mega-spoiler on your car and the unlikelihood of your getting laid. Rachel Baron, 26, Chicago  No. 141: We roll our eyes. A lot. We are not having a seizure. We are not about to faint. We just have really bad attitudes sometimes. Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island  No. 42: Flirting with you after ten years is sometimes better than flirting when we first met. Jen Russell, 26, Mexico, Missouri  No. 997: Pants should cover your ass. Heather Brecht, 22, San Diego  No. 16: Men absolutely get better with age especially when you feel the same about us. Carrie Dienhart, 34, Kansas City, Missouri  No. 103: We like it when you kiss the top of our head. Rachel Crader, 23, Leopold, Missouri  No. 306: Don&amp;#039;t pretend we don&amp;#039;t tell you when something&amp;#039;s wrong. Come on now. Increased chocolate intake. Foot tapping. Crossed arms. Tears during a Hallmark commercial. We&amp;#039;ve said all we need to. Tell us we look even skinnier than usual. And then get us a glass of Sancerre. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York No. 79: We love to hear we are beautiful. Breaking it down into specifics is even better. Christine Siltanen, 28, Portland, Oregon No. 10: Anything but roses. Think about it. We&amp;#039;ve mentioned our favorite flower more than once. If you can&amp;#039;t remember, go with a lily. Rhiannon Falzone, 25, Chicago No. 512: We&amp;#039;re not always aware of our breasts. If we happen to brush up against you, we&amp;#039;re not necessarily coming on to you. Sometimes we are. But it&amp;#039;s not a given. Nicole French, 37, Denver, Colorado No. 87: Women can tell if you&amp;#039;re wearing clothes that were given to you by your mother. They all have that &amp;quot;I used to wear essentially the same shirt when I was eight&amp;quot; look. This isn&amp;#039;t awful if done occasionally, but when that&amp;#039;s your daily head-to-toe, it sends a questionable message. Kimberly Ryan, 25, Tucson No. 492: We don&amp;#039;t expect you to read our minds. We expect you to ask. Kelly Viets, 20, Newport News, Virginia No. 19: We remember if you told us you would call us tomorrow, so if you don&amp;#039;t mean tomorrow, say &amp;quot;soon.&amp;quot; No woman will ever hold it against you if you call when you say you will, and we always notice when you don&amp;#039;t. Roxanna Elden, 30, Miami No. 284: We want you to have your &amp;quot;guy time.&amp;quot; In fact, if you don&amp;#039;t have a great group of men to hang around, it&amp;#039;s a turn-off. Whitney Webb, 22, Blacksburg, Virginia No. 67: Women in their mid-thirties have to do everything for ourselves drive our careers, pay the mortgage, fix broken appliances, assemble furniture. The only place we don&amp;#039;t have to do it ourselves is in the bedroom. For that one small slice of the day, we&amp;#039;ll actually give up control and let someone else own us. So, own us. Suzanne Casamento, 28, Los Angeles No. 413: Asking &amp;quot;are you ticklish&amp;quot; as an excuse to touch a woman for the first time is not appropriate past the age of 17. Claire Serxner, 25, Houston No. 706: Why do you spell &amp;quot;you&amp;quot; as &amp;quot;u&amp;quot; in a text? Spell it out. Is it really that hard? Becky Ellis, 32, New York No. 511: It freaks us out when you put a t-shirt on after sex but walk around without boxers. It&amp;#039;s not becoming. Molly Rosen, 31, Writer, Chicago No. 99: If you tell us you love us during sex, it will only confuse us. We won&amp;#039;t know whether the sentiment is genuine or blurted out in the heat of passion. If you mean it and want to tell us, wait until we&amp;#039;re fully clothed and you&amp;#039;re fully sober. Devon Brooke Clasen, 31, Las Vegas No. 184: You have our interest if you pick us up in a convertible. You have our hearts if there is a hair tie and/or brush in the car. Beth Hurtubise, 26, Chicago No. 73: Thongs are uncomfortable. Ingrid Castillo, 22, Miami No. 661: Never pinch the muffin-top. This is grounds for execution. Catlin Moore, 24, Long Beach, California No. 930: We only have two to three bras that we alternate. We tell you we just have a bunch of the same one. Lies! Jane Marie Solomon, 23, Austin, Texas No. 723: Sometimes we wear our bathing suits when we run out of underwear. Brenna Ehrlich, 25, Brooklyn  No. 25: When we ask you to be honest, and your honest response is something you know we will be upset about, fib just a little. But only because you love us. Kelly Heintz, 23, Fresno, California No. 550: As much as we want to say that looks don&amp;#039;t matter, they are a big part of first impressions. Physical attraction gets the door open, but pretty much from there, it really is your personality that will carry you. Lauren Hesser, 25, St. Louis No. 74: It goes movie, then dinner. That way we don&amp;#039;t have to rush. We have time for dessert. Tawnia Mayhugh, 34, Yakima, Washington No. 800: We know it&amp;#039;s called the pinch and roll. Laura Moss, 22, San Diego, California No. 37: More back massages. Shannon Little, 23, Memphis No. 129: When we walk into a room we notice which women you&amp;#039;d sleep with before you do. Rachael Candee, 24, Iowa City, Iowa No. 76: I only like football because of the pants. Sondra Gavaldon, 28, Brooklyn No. 864: Men always wonder what women want. We won&amp;#039;t admit it, but we wonder the same exact thing. Mei Christensen, 21, Charlottesville, Virginia No. 418: It&amp;#039;s okay to tear up at the end of the World Series. It&amp;#039;s not okay during American Idol. Lorelei Donaldson, 23, Columbia, Missouri No. 101: Pizza and beer only counts as &amp;quot;date night&amp;quot; once every two months. Taylor Rausch, 23, Columbia, Missouri No. 54: It&amp;#039;s okay if you want to watch Steel Magnolias with us. But if you cry harder than we do when Shelby dies, you are going to have to start answering some questions. Kelsey Allen, 21, Columbia, Missouri No. 476: If you have more shoes than we do, that&amp;#039;s a deal breaker. And yes, sneakers count. Nina Fortuna, 25, New York No. 68: We nag because we care. Luce Melendez, 22, New York No. 302: Don&amp;#039;t try to feed me. I&amp;#039;m not an infant and it&amp;#039;s not romantic. Katie Dinardo, 23, Brooklyn No. 554: Women don&amp;#039;t get mad at you because they have PMS. They get mad at you because you&amp;#039;re being an idiot. Hannah Rosengren,19, Beverly, Massachusetts No. 13: Buying lingerie for your girlfriend is like buying a present for yourself. If she&amp;#039;s showing you her undies, chances are you&amp;#039;ll be removing them. Assess your priorities, sir. Stephanie Hoos, 23, New York No. 293: There&amp;#039;s nothing more unappealing than a man being indecisive. Unless he&amp;#039;s being indecisive between bouts of crying. Katy Steinmetz, 25, Washington, D.C. No. 111: When you offer to pay for something and we refuse, insist one more time. Always insist. Cristina Luiggi, 24, New York No. 767: We are afraid of spiders and bees, yet hot wax ripped from very sensitive areas we seem to be okay with. Taylor McGraw, 20, Oxford, Mississippi No. 66: Things we don&amp;#039;t appreciate: hematomas in the form of hickeys. Katie Sanders, 20, Newton, Massachusetts No. 14: Chivalry, within reason. Holding the door for us? Yes. Ordering for us? No. Unless your date can&amp;#039;t read. Jessica Goldstein, 21, Philadelphia No. 81: Romance is relative. I will always hold a deep affection for the man who built a shower in my studio apartment as a surprise. Think outside of the box and become immortal. Suzanne Fortin, 31, Missoula, Montana No. 912: We are manipulative beasts. Call us on it from time to time, just not all the time. Lisa Huber, 38, Teutopolis, Illinois No. 9: Cook for us and you&amp;#039;ll get laid at the end of the evening. Clean up the mess you made cooking and you&amp;#039;ll get better sex than when you turned off the television in the middle of an &amp;quot;important&amp;quot; game. Judith Brodnicki, 50, Omaha No. 444: No man ever talked a woman into sex. Ninety-nine percent of the time, a woman knows she is going to have sex when she walks out the door. Men can only talk themselves out of it. Pat Lieske, 46, Los Angeles No. 316: At the end of a first date, just call us the next day if you liked us. You can wait three days if you want, but it will only piss us off. Wynne Kontos, 21, Lafayette, Indiana No. 107: When we point out something sweet we saw another guy do, we want you to do it for us, too. Obviously. Ashley Graf, 20, Utica, New York No. 222: Don&amp;#039;t tell us you&amp;#039;re on a low-carb diet when you take us out to dinner. That&amp;#039;s why we&amp;#039;re not out with our girlfriends. Leila Gheit, 28, Jackson Heights, New York No. 716: No need to pretend it&amp;#039;s more comfortable to sleep spooning. We just want to sleep like we always do, and we&amp;#039;ll see you in the morning. Ileana Morales, 21, Gainesville, Florida No. 300: A plunger for our place will never be a good gift. Carrie Dienhart, 34, Kansas City, Missouri No. 75: Most women&amp;#039;s version of the perfect man is some combination of James Bond, Prince Charming, and George Clooney. This, luckily for you, is a man who would terrify us in real life. Erica Anderson, 30, Chicago No. 60: Never use fabric softener when you launder towels. It ruins their absorbency. When we&amp;#039;re visiting, we want thick, fluffy, absorbent towels. And we want them to be some version of white. Just a tip. Stephanie Shaughnessy, 41, Pittsburgh No. 733: We have several tools at our disposal to keep us from having sex with you before we are ready wearing granny panties and not shaving are two of the strongest weapons in our arsenal. If the first time you have sex with us we are unkempt and wearing huge briefs, you must have crazy animal magnetism, or we are very drunk. Heather Ericson, 32, Barre, Massachusetts No. 51: Joking about your penis size makes us feel uncomfortable every time. Every. Time. Krista Iovino, 32, New York No. 56: We love having our layers taken off one at a time and eagerly anticipate you noticing the new lingerie we&amp;#039;ve been enduring all night. Staci Brinkman, 27, Dallas No. 208: S-l-o-o-o-w d-o-o-o-w-n-n-n. Melinda Meggyesy, 31, Seattle No. 643: Never hang up first. Renee Taylor, 22, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada No. 382: Old Spice High Endurance Pure Sport. Sarah June Renschler, 30, New York City No. 21: Men drink coffee, not skinny double-pump soy macchiatos. Ordering the latter doesn&amp;#039;t impress us; it makes us wonder if you&amp;#039;d rather be double-pumping your buddy Todd. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 310: If we freak out over baby shoes, it doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily mean we want a baby. There&amp;#039;s just something about baby shoes. Women. Love. Baby shoes. Stephanie Weir, 29, St. Louis  No. 85: Women hate when men talk badly about their friends. No matter how bad a friend they are, be supportive. Listen to the drama without being too opinionated. That what we do. Danielle Scotti, 23, Pittsburgh No. 622: When we say we don&amp;#039;t want flowers, we really want you to secretly ask our friends or search our Web history to find out what our favorite kind of flower is without us knowing so we&amp;#039;re &amp;quot;surprised&amp;quot; when you hit the nail on the head. Meredith Blake Matthews, 26, Pittsburgh No. 403: You should be able to do anything Bob Vila can. Or that HGTV makes happen in a 30-minute episode. Jennifer Davidick, 30, Hazleton, Pennsylvania No. 210: Even feminists want kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Rachel Baron, 26, Chicago No. 517: When we ask you how we look, we are really saying, &amp;quot;I am needy, please validate me. Please tell me I&amp;#039;m pretty. Please tell me you don&amp;#039;t regret loving me.&amp;quot; Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island, New York No. 209: When you agree to take yoga with us, it&amp;#039;s endearing. But endearing never got anybody laid. Ainsley Drew Nelson, 28, New York No. 235: If I see you treat waitstaff or cashiers poorly, I will probably never touch your penis. Rachel Giuliani, 27, Brooklyn No. 929: You should be more concerned when I stop thinking your jokes are funny than with how often I want to have sex. Elizabeth Oporto, 26, Merrick, New York No. 867: We think at least two of your friends are hot. Lauren Cusimano, 24, Phoenix No. 430: I remember staying over at my parents&amp;#039; house with my boyfriend while we were in town for a wedding. As we were falling asleep, he said, &amp;quot;I like our bed better.&amp;quot; I replied that it was more comfortable. His response was, &amp;quot;Yeah, and it&amp;#039;s ours.&amp;quot; At that moment, our relationship became real. &amp;quot;Ours&amp;quot; is a powerful word. Sarah Godumski, 29, Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania No. 321: When I say, &amp;quot;that feels good,&amp;quot; it doesn&amp;#039;t mean go faster and harder. It means to keep doing that. Stacey Whiteley, 40, Albany, New York No. 883: We think guys who call every day and don&amp;#039;t ask us out are playing hard to get. Come on, collections-department guy! Yahaira Ulloa, 28, Elmwood Park, New Jersey No. 38: Sometimes we bring you to dinners, parties, and events just to be able to say, &amp;quot;That one is mine.&amp;quot; Remember that. Janice Tsai, 30, Sacramento No. 109: Your foot rubbing against our leg when we&amp;#039;re sound asleep does not constitute foreplay. Nor does &amp;quot;Hey, you awake?&amp;quot; Shannon Ingram, 58, Mission Viejo, California No. 21: We understand the World Cup too. Erin Dowding, 34, Brooklyn No. 223: We know we snore sometimes. Don&amp;#039;t ever tell us when we do. Eva Meszaros, 25, Brooklyn No. 450: Yes, I saw Braveheart, and it&amp;#039;s one of my favorite movies too. Allie Nordby, 20, Los Angeles No. 999: We really don&amp;#039;t like your skinny jeans. Yoakova Franklin, 20, Great Neck No. 59: If you&amp;#039;re going to be a backseat driver, be absolutely freaking sure you know where you&amp;#039;re going. Carolyn Morgan, 33, Irvine, California No. 2: We don&amp;#039;t want to see your feet while we&amp;#039;re having sex. Sarah O&amp;#039;Connell, 18, New York No. 43: We want you to look nice, but please don&amp;#039;t spend more time getting ready than we do. Rose-Marie Larsson, 20, Goteborg, Sweden No. 607: We are the same human being with makeup and without it. Alix Stoll, 52, Levittown, New York No. 684: Using a GPS is not a sign of weakness. Marianne Towersey, 59, Pebble Beach, California No. 326: Hats don&amp;#039;t conceal the fact that you&amp;#039;re balding. They only delay the point at which we come to terms with it. Lindsay Coluccio, 33, Newport Beach, California No. 445: We are judging your outfit, whether silently or not, from head to toe, right this very moment. Jodie Love, 25, Brooklyn No. 477: Men don&amp;#039;t know how much we really eat. Really. Natalia Angel, 22, London No. 660: Don&amp;#039;t ask me why my Stella is in a wine glass. It&amp;#039;s not. Get your beers straight. Leigh Metherell, 22, Brooklyn No. 908: Despite what we say, you holding a baby with complete confidence is an absolute aphrodisiac. Put the baby down and come touch me. Jennifer Trinh, 24, Irvine, California No. 220: We may say we enjoy watching Top Gear or the Lakers, but really more than anything we enjoy seeing how teaching us about Top Gear and the Lakers boosts your confidence. Courtney Harper, 23, Sherman Oaks, California No. 47: Never. Wear. Neon. Carolynn Johnson, 26, Brooklyn No. 732: We&amp;#039;ll take nice forearms over six-pack abs any day. Jennie Engelhardt, 26, New York No. 22: Turning into our mothers is an inevitable fear we live with on a daily basis. Calling this to our attention at any point is a terrible idea. Just don&amp;#039;t do it. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 18: Sometimes we just complain about our periods so you&amp;#039;ll leave us alone. Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha No. 388: If you ask for our number a second time and we don&amp;#039;t give it to you, there&amp;#039;s a good chance we can&amp;#039;t remember the first number we gave you. Megan McDonnell, 30, Los Angeles No. 314: Don&amp;#039;t try to figure out what will make us happy. We have been trying to get to the bottom of that mystery since the beginning of time and we have no clue either. Michele Pepio, 35, Staten Island, New York No. 497: We like whiskey. And beer. Maura E. McGill, 29, New York No. 730: We find it creepy when your fingernails are longer and/or shinier than ours. You may get a manicure, but don&amp;#039;t admit it, and don&amp;#039;t enjoy it. Eva Meszaros, 25, Brooklyn No. 642: Men see what women do, but they never know what women think while they are doing it. Verena Michaeler, 18, Brixen, Italy No. 297: We pee in the shower. There is a drain and running water. Why not? Valerie Vaughan, 51, Denver No. 616: If you stop with the compliments, then so might our efforts to look as hot as we did when we started dating. Why should we spend time and money that we don&amp;#039;t have in excess when our target audience doesn&amp;#039;t even notice? Haiyen Chin, 33, Brooklyn No. 644: If we offer you gum, it means we want to kiss you later. It&amp;#039;s not an insult. Just take the gum. Rhiannon Falzone, 26, Chicago No. 524: That low-cut top we wouldn&amp;#039;t wear it if we didn&amp;#039;t want you to look. Just be discrete about it.
