Men’s Health magazine has recently published a list of 40 Unwritten Rules For Men. While most of the list consists of rules geared towards the male mind, many cross gender lines while some are just absurd. Feeling inspired, I’ve decided to compile 10 Unwritten Rules For Women*.

1. If you can’t walk in heels, don’t wear them. You’ll look sexier with a confident walk in flats than you will if you’re prancing around like a giraffe.
2. It’s okay to be totally boring. Not everyone is cut out for a Sex and the City-esque life. It’s also okay to live vicariously through TV/movie characters, as long as you come back to reality…eventually.
3. At some point in your life, you should live alone. Even if it’s only for a few weeks, you will learn more about yourself in that span of time than you could’ve ever imagined.
4. Never deny yourself little pleasures that make you feel good: manicures, massages, frozen yogurt, baseball tickets, whatever. However, find less expensive ways to acquire these pleasures.
5. Love your body for what it is, not for what you want it to be.
6. You don’t have to share the exact same interests as your partner, but you should be supportive of their hobbies/interests/dreams. Same goes for your partner.
7. The ability to write a professionally sounding e-mail will get you far.
8. Laughing at yourself will get you out of any slump: bad breakup, laid off from your job, accidentally farting in bed, tripping in front of a group of construction workers.
9. Take control of your orgasms. Take control of a lot of things in the bedroom. Or the kitchen. Or on your desk. Or in the backseat of your car…whenever the mood strikes.
10. You cannot turn a booty call into a boyfriend. It just doesn’t work that way. If the relationship is based on sex, that’s all there is to it.

*This is just my personal advice, and are not actual rules. I’m just going by things I do that make my life better as a twentysomething woman. Much like every blog post you read from me, take it with a grain of salt.
