"All right gentlemen, listen up.The list of women in your life who we want to hear about is pretty damn short. There's your mom, your sister (if you have one), and well, that's about it. So next time you feel tempted to talk about your former flame, do us all a favor and shut it...and for God's sake, never utter any of the phrases below.  1. \"She was wild and crazy...if you know what I mean.\" The last thing any girl wants to picture is you doing the nasty with a Lady Gaga clone in the bedroom. If you want to encourage us to be bolder, just ask. \n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n2. \"She used to model\" or \"She was a butterface.\" \n\nYour ex's hotness (or lack of) is a touchy issue: If we find out she was fugly, we wonder why you couldn't get a hotter chick until now. If you admit she was gorgeous, it makes us insecure about how we stack up. The best possible way to describe how attractive an ex was is to shrug your shoulders and say, \"She was all right.\" The indifference satisfies us (at least until we stalk your old Facebook photos). 3. \"She's fluent in four languages and is working on her second book. I don't know how she does it all, what with being a Yale med student too...\"Geez. And here we thought our monthly book club made us interesting. Any time we hear about another woman who can do it all (and is a freakin' genius to boot!), it makes us question our own successes and worldly attributes. 4. \"My parents loved her.\" Meeting your mom and dad is stressful. Meeting them when we know their hearts still belong to your ex is crazy stressful. If you really want to kill us quickly, just tell us about how your folks and ex still e-mail every day too. 5. \"She pretty much broke my heart.\" We squirm at this phrase because of the personal baggage it implies. If your ex shattered you, then we can't help but wonder how much you still dwell on the past and if you have any issues (like a fear of commitment) just waiting to come out. 6. \"She's still not over me.\" This may sound benign, but we can't help but view an ex-girlfriend who's still pining for you as competition \u2014 or worse, your backup plan. 7. \"She loved sports.\" Man, and just when we mastered making you a decent chicken parm. Now we need to feed your sports addiction too? She can keep her face paint and foam finger. 8. \"We took amazing vacations together.\" Even the sanest, most logical chick will get a little jealous if she hears that you and your ex skydived in New Zealand, hiked the Inca Trail in Peru, or just ordered frosty pi\u00F1a coladas on a Florida beach for three straight days. As unrealistic as it sounds, we like to think that the experiences we have together are brand-new. 9. \"My ex did it this way.\" Really? And most of our exes were way bigger below the belt. But we manage to keep it to ourselves...and 40 of our girlfriends. 10. \"She was really low-maintenance.\" Uh-huh, good to know. And to think of the time we've been putting in trying to look hot for you. But if unbrushed hair and elastic waistbands are your thing, we can make that work too. Want to see what the guys had to say? Here, the Top 10 Things a Guy Doesn't Want to Hear About Your Ex."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
