What makes our skin crawl: cell phone holsters, crocs (really?), and when you leave your stupid bluetooth earpiece in 24/7.

Kelly Greene, 35, San Diego

No. 279:

We appreciate when you keep your condoms within close reach from the bed so we don't spend ten minutes waiting naked while you search the other end of the apartment.

Sarah Knowles, 29, Brooklyn

No. 944:

We kind of wish we could chest-bump, too.

Rose Farnsworth, 19, Nashville

No. 964:

Sometimes we want to be treated like a princess. Sometimes, we want to be treated like a sex object. It's up to you to figure out which of these we want to be at any given moment, because we certainly aren't going to tell you.

Julianna Mendelsohn, 29, Chicago

No. 896:

Not all of us envy the whole peeing-while-standing thing. Seems messy.

Nicole Lee, 31, San Francisco

No. 850:

If you meet us at a bar, please don't say, "I'd like to see you without your glasses." We could go blind, you know.

If we make it through an entire first date without seeing what color your iPhone case is, well, we just might fall in love.

Dina Sanchez, 29, Brooklyn

No. 340:

If that piece of clothing does indeed make us look fat, simply say, "It's nice, but you don't look comfortable in it." Most of the time, it's true.

Nicole Lee, 31, San Francisco

No. 361:

You cleaning your apartment is somehow incredibly sexy. Weird but true.

Amy Keller, 27, Chicago

No. 313:

It's cute when you don't quite know how to dress, so long as your not knowing doesn't involve jean shorts or a fanny pack. We can only handle so much eyestrain.

Cassie Rodenberg, 22, Charleston, South Carolina

No. 155:

It doesn't matter what your chosen profession is, as long as you love what you do and do it with passion, and it's legal and it doesn't involve being in a production of the Lord of the Dance.

Beth Malonoski, 34, Norristown, Pennsylvania

No. 396:

We like it when you lend your favorite books to us. For several reasons.

No. 763:

When we run into an ex, we always play "Who Won?" And in our minds, we always won.

Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose, California

No. 870:

Julianna Mendelsohn, 29, Chicago

No. 925:

We love it when you're in the mood, but we don't love it when you grind up against us while we brush our teeth.

Amy Keller, 27, Chicago

No. 972:

We get to pick the baby's name. And it's not going to be your mother's maiden name. McCullen is a terrible name for a baby.

Rose Farnsworth, 19, Nashville

No. 790:

Even the slightest idea of fashion can be very attractive.

Kourtney Cole, 22, Chino Hills, California

No. 748:

Hair starts growing in funny places when we turn fifty. Not much we can do about it.

Marie Mackler, 58, Takoma Park, Maryland

The most important error most of you make when trying to figure us out is in thinking of us as mysterious, unknowable creatures who adhere to some cabalistic set of Girl Rules.

If you want your beer to be cold all the time, get a mini-fridge; don't let it take up too much room in our fridge. Unless you're chilling it for us.

No. 535:

We prefer an arm around us to holding hands pretty much any day.

Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose, California

Shoes always fit. Hence our perpetually full closets.

Sydney Hayes, 19, San Diego

No. 265:

The following posters on your wall are deal-breakers: Bob Marley playing soccer, Bob Marley exhaling, Bob Marley in green, yellow and/or red. Exemplars of the chill-bro variety are reserved, exclusively, for unwashed undergrads.

Eve Gleichman, 21, New York.

No. 125:

It's okay for you to drink rosé. We know it's good.

Rose Farnsworth, 19, Nashville

No. 546:

Robin Carol, 21, Eugene, Oregon

No. 673:

Even we know this: The craziest girls are the ones who seem the most normal at first.

Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose, California

No. 737:

Surprise field trips are the best, even if it's "guy stuff." If we roll our eyes, it doesn't mean we don't love the effort.

Amy Keller, 27, Chicago

No. 699:

We say we love scary movies so we can cuddle up to you.

Alessia Viscomi, 21, Newton, Massachusetts

No. 595:

Just because a model wore super-skinny jeans with pointy leather shoes and a plaid blazer doesn't mean that the ensemble is appropriate date attire for you.

Kellie Chung, 23, Boston

No. 880:

If you call the movies "the cinema," we will only laugh. And laugh.

Dina Sanchez, 29, Brooklyn

No. 816:

Seventy-five percent of the sounds we make during sex are purely for you. That's how much we care.

No. 577:

You should definitely buy us a drink. But know that it doesn't guarantee we'll stick around all night.

Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose California

No. 533:

We agonize over text messages. For instance, a one-word response means you're not interested. Right?

Katie Knies, 22, North Salem, New York

No. 485:

Though it might sound like it, Kegel exercises are not a military maneuver.

Marie Mackler, 58, Takoma Park, Maryland

No. 433:

We think the clean-laundry smell of you in your undershirt is a thousand times more appealing than even the best cologne.

Dina Sanchez, 29, Brooklyn

No. 552:

Quote movies only when absolutely necessary. We like your own words better than those of that old guy on the bridge in Monty Python's The Holy Grail.

Eve Gleichman, 21, New York

No. 409:

We love a chase. Not calling all the time gives us a chance to try new things to get your attention.

Alessia Viscomi, 21, Newton, Massachusetts

Rose Farnsworth, 19, Nashville

No. 419:

We would also love to skip Sunday brunch with eighty-five family members in favor of sitting on the couch in our sweats watching reruns of The A-Team. We just have a better game face.

Listen to your gut feelings when determining if we're into you or not.

Mallory Farmer, 23, Boston

No. 231:

Where do we put on perfume? Where we wish to be kissed.

Adriana Ball, 24, Miami

No. 794: One-armed hugs means we're friends. Two-armed hugs show you care. Squeezing the hell out of us says you love us.

Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose, California

No. 328:

Those little nonsensical arguments, for us, are fun. They give us a chance to see how you deal with things.

Alessia Viscomi, 21, Newton, Massachusetts

No. 355:

No. 180:

We'll never understand why you slap each other's butts when you're playing sports. And that's okay.

Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose, California

The way we feel about your kisses on the back of our necks: Think ice cream in August.

Cassie Rodenberg, 22, Charleston, South Carolina

We always want dessert. We always want you to order dessert. What we never want is for you to ask us if we want dessert. It's redundant.

No. 877:

Replacing the roll of toilet paper counts as one of those "little things" that we love.

Beth Malonoski, 34, Norristown, Pennsylvania

Carly Hansen, 22, Santa Barbara, California

No. 285: Most of us would rather watch Entourage than Sex and the City. Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose, California

No. 237: If we only order a salad at a four-star restaurant, chances are there's a bag of chips and some leftover Chinese waiting for us at home. If we order steak and dessert, we'll probably just have you afterward. Beth Malonoski, 34, Norristown, Pennsylvania

No. 415: We think cigars make you smell very bad. Actually, it's not a matter of opinion. Rose Farnsworth, 19, Nashville

No. 797: When we agree to see Get Him to the Greek over Sex in the City 2, it's not because it looks like a cinematic masterpiece, it's because we're trying to be nice and you look cute when you're laughing. Feel free to return the favor. Christina Alderman, 21, San Diego

No. 78: Presentation counts. Wrap your gift and iron your shirt. Merritt Watts, 25, New York

No. 205: We don't like it when you put your hands on our waists. You're not supposed to know about our Spanx. You'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'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. 671: Please do not ever, ever let us see you naked if you are still wearing your socks. Pat Dunnigan, 47, Chicago

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. 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've given us. If the quotient is greater than 0.25, you're a whiny bitch. Carrie Dienhart, 34, Kansas City, Missouri

No. 245: Women in their twenties may look good while doing it, but most of them are thinking about how they look while they're doing it. Which means they aren't thinking about what they are doing.

No. 336: If you have to ask, "Is my beard working?" Its not. Joanna Borns, 25, Lafayette, Indiana

No. 121: We're intimidated by you when you travel in loud packs. We think you're creepy when you're out alone. We don't trust you when you're out with a female "friend." Your odds are best when you're in a group of three or four. Or with us. Kirsten Hall, 35, New York

No. 173:

You cannot imagine the amount of stuff we have to do to look this good. It's like a second job. It's much more than waxing and manicures. It's really weird stuff that would completely freak you out. Don't try to understand it. Just appreciate our effort.

Bikini waxing actually isn't as painful as we let on.

No. 746: You know that body hair you're self-conscious about? We love it. It's the hairless ones that should worry. Leanne Young, 23, Phoenix
