Top 10 Things You Never Want to Hear a Guy Say

10. “I don’t know, what do you want to do?”
Um, if we knew, we wouldn’t have asked. Plus, there’s nothing sexier than a man who can take the lead and plan a date. (Extra points for taking control after the date, too.)

9. “Shhh the game’s on.”
We get it, sports are important. But shushing us even when it’s a time out is simply unacceptable. Just give us two seconds, and we’ll let you get back to the big game.

8. “Chill Out” or “Relax”
Nothing is more unnerving than being told to calm down. If you had estrogen, you’d get it. And you would also get periods, too

7. “Smell this.”
We don’t want to be treated like one of your guy friends, so asking us to smell the leftover Chinese that’s been in your fridge for 6 months or gross old sneakers is just wrong.

6. “My ex did it this way.”
If you ever say this to us, we have every right to use our teeth

5. “Putting on some pounds, huh?”
The way we feel when someone says this to us is the way you feel when we ask, “Is it in?”

4. “Someone needs to groom down there.”
When you start offering up your junk to a woman named Helga with a vat of hot wax, you can start complaining about an errant hair or two on our body.

3. “I’m not in the mood.”
Really? You’re not? We’ll remind him of that next time you wake us up

2. “Your sister is hot.”
All we have to say is this: If you are dumb enough to go there, you’re going to have to put up with listening to our fantasy that involves your brother.

1. “Are you on your period?”
It doesn’t matter if the answer is yes, no, or almost. Unless you want to buy our tampons from now until we hit menopause, you should avoid asking.

The Top 7 Health Rules for Young Women

1. ALWAYS HAVE SAFE SEX - Unless you know for sure (and we mean really know for sure) that your guy is free of any sexually transmitted diseases, use protection every time. Condoms aren’t foolproof, but they can drastically lower your odds of contracting bacterial STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, as well as those transmitted via skin contact like herpes and human papillomavirus (HPV).

2. BE SCREENED REGULARLY FOR CHLAMYDIA AND GONORRHEA - Caught early, these STDs can be cured quickly with antibiotics. Problem is, they often have no symptoms, and either one can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease — which can cause infertility. So get tested for these at your annual exam (or after any unsafe sex).

3. GET ENOUGH FOLIC ACID (folate) - Even if you’re not ready to have kids, it’s crucial that you take in 400 micrograms of this B vitamin daily because it can prevent birth defects when you do conceive. It’s available in most fortified cereals and bread products, but taking a multivitamin is the surest route.

4. PRACTICE SAFE SUN - Melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer, is the second most common cancer for women in their 20s, and other skin-cancer types are rising too. So slather on sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection and an SPF of 15, and avoid indoor tanning at all costs.

5. SCHEDULE REGULAR PAP TEST - This quick, simple test, routinely given at your annual gyno exam, detects cervical changes brought on by the human papillomavirus (HPV), an STD with more than 100 types. A yearly Pap will reveal any suspicious changes, which can be treated before they become cancerous.

6. KEEP TRACK OF YOUR CHOLESTEROL - Heart disease is usually associated with older men, not young women. But all adults over 20 are advised to have their cholesterol checked at least once every five years, since too-high cholesterol is linked to cardiovascular problems.

7. GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE - A sleep deficit doesn’t just leave you tired — research shows that it can make you gain weight, feel stressed and depressed, and lower your immune system. Aim for between seven and eight hours a night.
