How to Play Truth or Drink

1. Gather at least two or more people to play the game. Get everyone a drink, or grab a liquor bottle and some shot glasses. Either pull up a list on your phone (*cough cough, this article*) or write out questions on little paper slips ahead of time to pick out of a hat or bowl.^[10]
   
   • Decide how much alcohol people should drink on each turn if they choose to. Depending on how difficult or embarrassing your questions are, you could ask people to take a full shot or just a sip.
   • If you think people will be drinking a lot (rather than truthing), it’s recommended to stick to low-alcohol options like beer, wine, or heavy-on-the-mixer cocktails.
2. Start with one player asking a Truth or Drink question. The opposing player can either answer or take their drink. They then get to ask a new question to the other player(s). If you’re playing in a group, decide if players will randomly ask questions to each other or go in a certain order.^[11]
   
   • You can also assign one person to be the question master, meaning they won’t participate in the game but will be in charge of who gets asked which questions.
   • You can also incorporate Truth or Drink into other drinking games.
   • For example, if you’re playing King’s Cup, make players answer a Truth or Drink question when they pull a red or black face card.

Tips

• You can easily level up this game by adding a “Drink or Dare” component. Start with this great list of spicy dares for adults!
• Make sure every player is old enough to legally drink alcohol wherever you live. In the United States, the legal drinking age is 21.
• Remember that the game is supposed to be fun. Respect everyone’s comfort level, and don’t pressure anyone to drink if they say no or seem hesitant.
• If someone doesn’t want to answer a truth question, Single in the City founder Laura Bilotta recommends that you “respect their boundaries and move on to something else.”^[12]

Funny Ways to Say “Thank You”

1. Lighten up the conversation by sending a silly “thank you” text. If your friend, family member, or partner gets uncomfortable with praise, drop a funny one-liner to make them laugh and feel at ease.^[3] These texts are playful, witty, and subtle, making them great options for someone who can’t take a compliment:
   
   • Thanks a latte ☕!
   • Thanks for being my unpaid therapist.
   • You’re the peanut butter to my jelly—thank you!
   • You’ve made it to my “favorite people” list. Congrats!
   • You’re a total lifesaver…or should I say task saver 😜?
   • Thanks for being even more supportive than my parents 🤣.
   • I’d give you a standing ovation for your help, but I’m really lazy…
   • If I had a dollar for every time you’ve helped me, I’d be a millionaire.

   • Thanks for being a shoulder to cry on. Please send me the bill for your services 😂.
   • Thanks for being my partner in crime 🔗. Even if I get arrested, I’ll never rat you out 👮❌🐀!

   • You can’t see it, but I’m doing my happy dance right now...and it’s all because of your help. It’s even more amazing than before because it’s in your honor, and if you were here, you’d probably shed a tear.
   • If you could see my face, you’d see how grateful I am. But since you can’t, I’ll describe it to you: a defined jaw, a smile that lights up any room, and unbelievably handsome features that scream “thank you.”

Meaningful Ways to Say “Thank You”

1. Specify what you’re thankful for and give a genuine compliment. According to etiquette coach Tami Claytor, “you want to be as specific as possible” when thanking someone.^[4] Explaining why you’re grateful is more sincere than a simple “thank you” because it highlights the importance of someone’s words or actions.

We’ll go over seven variations of this phrase to use in emails to your boss, coworkers, clients, and more. We’ll also cover how to use the phrase to offer support to a friend or loved one, so keep reading!

Alternatives to “Please Let Me Know if You Need Anything”

• If you need a formal alternative to use in a business email, try: “If you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”
• For a polite but slightly less formal option, opt for: “Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.”
• To reach out to a friend in a more informal, personal setting, go with: “If you need anything, just let me know.”

Steps

7 Formal Ways to Say “Let Me Know if You Need Anything”

1. “If you need any further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out.” This is a formal and professional way to end an important email. Whether you’re communicating with a coworker, prospective employee, or an important client, this phrase conveys your professionalism and willingness to be of assistance. Here’s an example email:
   
   • “Dear Ms. Adams, Attached below is an invoice for our services, which you can pay online or over the phone. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and if you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”
2. “Please let me know if anything else is needed on my end.” If you’re sending a work product or documents to someone, this phrase makes a great addition to your email. This lets them know that you’re ready and willing to provide anything else they might need.
   
   • “Dear Ms. Williams, Here are my completed onboarding forms ahead of my first day at work this coming Monday. Thank you again, and I’m so excited to be joining the team. Please let me know if anything else is needed on my end.”
   • “Dear Kelsey, Here are the revised slides for Wednesday’s meeting. Please let me know if anything else is needed on my end!”
3. “If I can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask.” This phrase is a polite and professional way to let someone know that you’re available to help. It’s a great phrase to use if you’re assigning a task to an employee or communicating with a coworker about a project.
   
   • “Hi Val, Would you mind preparing a short presentation on this project’s status for the meeting next week? It doesn’t need to be too long—just a 5-10 minute update. If I can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
4. “I’m happy to help if you need any further assistance.” Sending this phrase in an email to a colleague or customer shows your professionalism and willingness to support them. It’s upbeat and polite, which keeps the positive energy flowing between you.
   
   • “Dear Leah, I received your email about your recent purchase, and I’m so sorry you never received your order. I sent a replacement out this afternoon, and it should arrive within 3-5 business days. Apologies again, and I’m happy to help if you need any further assistance!”
5. “Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.” This phrase is a professional way to signal that you’re available to address any concerns an employee, coworker, client, or customer may have. It works especially well if you’re updating people about new policies or standards at the workplace. For example:
   
   • “Hello all, Monday marks the first day of implementing the new customer service strategies we discussed at our team meeting this week. I’ve attached a document below listing the strategies for your review. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns!”
6. “If you need any additional support, please reach out.” If you want to make sure the recipient of your email knows you’re available to provide ongoing support, this is a great phrase to use. It works in both a professional and an academic setting.
   
   • “Hello everyone, I’m your TA for this course. I’m excited to get to know you all, and I’m looking forward to a great semester. Here are the guidelines for your first assignment. If you need any additional support, please reach out, or swing by my office hours from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday.”
7. “I’m happy to provide any additional information you might need.” This phrase is a friendly and professional way to convey that you’re available to offer any clarification or answer any questions for the email’s recipient.
   
   • “Dear Alex, Attached below is an estimate for the cost of our services, as discussed today at our meeting. We’re looking forward to working with you, and I’m happy to provide any additional information you might need.”
   • “Dear Evelyn, Thank you for taking this project off my hands! I know you’ll do an amazing job. Here is everything my team has worked on so far, and I’m happy to provide any additional information you might need.”

Ways to Offer Support to Friends & Loved Ones

1. “If you need anything, just let me know.” This variation of the phrase is a friendly and less formal way to show someone you’re there for them. It’s still professional enough to send to a coworker, but it can also be used to offer support to a friend or loved one in a more personal setting. Here are some examples:^[1]
   
   • “Hey Jacob, of course I can bring some extra dessert for the party—don’t worry at all! If you need anything else, just let me know.”
   • “Hi Maisie! I heard you've been feeling down this week. I’m so sorry! I wanted to text you to check-in. If you need anything, just let me know!”
   • “Dear Parker, I was so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. He was a truly special man, and I feel so lucky to have known him. If you need anything at all, just let me know. I’m here for you!”
2. Consider offering specific, practical help to the person who’s struggling. It’s definitely appropriate to say “Please let me know if you need anything,” but there may be better ways to show your support. This phrase puts the pressure on them to figure out what help they need, which can be stressful if they’re already going through a difficult event. Instead, try offering to help them with everyday tasks.^[2] This takes some things off of their plate and gives them a much-needed reprieve!
   
   • For example, to support a friend who has depression, offer to come over to tidy their place up, do some laundry, or cook a yummy meal.^[3] Just be sure to ask if this is okay first, rather than showing up unannounced.
   • If you want to help a grieving friend, let them know you’re available to bring over takeout or pre-cooked meals for their family, drop their kids off at school, or help out with chores like laundry or grocery shopping.^[4]
   • If they aren't up for visitors, consider sending them a self-care box. Fill the box up with comforting, relaxing gifts, like essential oils, bath bombs, a cozy blanket, candles, or yummy snacks.^[5]

How to Sound like a Girl: Tips, Exercises & Voice-Changing Apps

Feminize the pitch and mannerisms of your voice with our complete guide

If you want to have a more feminine voice, it’s easy to change your pitch and tone when you speak. Whether you’re trying to find a new voice that aligns with your gender or just want to try sounding like a girl for voice acting or fun, we’ve got everything you need to know. Keep reading, and we’ll walk you through vocal exercises and voice-changing software you can try out to sound more like a girl.

Things You Should Know

• Hold your larynx at the highest point in your throat to raise the pitch of your voice. Practice humming or speaking in a tone close to middle C on a piano.
• Soften your consonant sounds and emphasize vowel sounds to sound more like a girl. Imitate other feminine voices to match their mannerisms.
• To change your voice online, try using voice-changing software such as Clownfish, Voxal, MagicMic, or MorphVox Pro.

Steps

Vocal Training Exercises to Sound Like a Girl

1. Raise your larynx to speak in a higher pitch. Your voice changes pitch depending on the position of your larynx (also known as your Adam’s apple or voice box). Swallow and notice when your larynx reaches the highest point. Try to hold it there for a few seconds before relaxing to train your muscles.
   
   • As it gets more comfortable to keep your larynx in the raised position, try relaxing your tongue and holding the position for 5–10 minutes.
2. Vocalize sounds near middle C. Many girls and women have a vocal range near middle C on a piano. Play the note out loud and try to hum or sing “ee” sounds at the same pitch. Practice inhaling through your nose and sing words that start with an “H” sound. Hold the note for a few seconds at a time.^[1]
   
   • It’s okay if you can’t hit middle C right away when you’re starting vocal exercise. Raise the pitch as much as you comfortably can and work your way to a higher voice.
   • If you start sounding hoarse or if you feel any pain, get some water and take a break so you don’t hurt your voice.
   • Girls naturally vary the pitch of their voice while they’re speaking. As you get more comfortable saying words at a higher pitch, let your voice waver between slightly higher and lower pitches.
   • Avoid trying to raise your voice really high since it might sound unnatural and someone may easily pick up on it.
3. Use softened consonant sounds. Many women and people with more feminine voices string their words together smoothly and put less stress on hard consonant sounds. Practice saying consonant sounds for a shorter amount of time and with less force so they flow smoothly.^[2]
   
   • Try saying, “Pull the light switch to turn the light off,” and notice how choppy your voice sounds when you pronounce the Ts in each word. Record yourself and practice saying the sentence in a smooth, even tone.^[3]
4. Stretch and emphasize vowel sounds. Many people with feminine voices draw out the vowel sounds in the middle of each word. Practice holding your vowel sounds a little longer than normal while you’re speaking to sound more like a girl.
   
   • Holding out vowel noises helps make up for the natural resonance you have in your chest when you speak in a deeper voice.
5. Breathe from your diaphragm. Using your diaphragm to breathe helps support your girl voice so it sounds richer and fuller. Practice taking deep breaths in through your nose and pushing your stomach out as you inhale.^[4]
   
   • Try to avoid breathing with your chest and raising your shoulders because it may make your voice sound breathy or weak.
6. Imitate other feminine voices and mannerisms. Watch newscasts with female anchors because they speak in clear, monotone voices that are easy to mimic. Pay attention to how they articulate each word and any body language they have as they’re speaking. Try repeating a sentence or two, and record it so you can compare your girl voice to theirs.
   
   • As you get more comfortable mimicking newscasters, try imitating other girl voices from movies, TV shows, or podcasts to try out new inflections and mannerisms.
7. Practice making nonverbal sounds. As you’re working on sounding more like a woman, work on making other vocal noises, such as laughing, coughing, or crying. Try to match any nonverbal sounds to the pitch of your girl voice so it sounds more feminine.
   
8. Keep practicing until you can consistently talk in a girl voice. It may take around 3–6 months to completely train your voice if you’re practicing every day. Continue doing vocal exercises, mimicking other people, and working on your articulation until you’re happy with the way that your voice sounds.
   
   • Everybody is unique, and it may take a little longer to speak in a consistent tone if you’re going from a lower pitch to a higher one.

Do Women Find Chest Hair Attractive?

Find out if girls think a hairy chest is sexy, and how to up your body hair game

To shave or not to shave, that is the question. Before you go to town with that razor, allow us to introduce you to some statistics! While you should never feel ashamed of your body, polls say that chest hair is in, and that a little fur is all the rage. We’re here to tell you more and answer the age-old question once and for all: Do women like chest hair? And we won’t stop there—we’ll also tell you why they do, where they stand on other body hair, and what to do about your own chest hair (or lack thereof).

Things You Should Know

• Body hair and attraction is highly subjective, but polls show that plenty of women are drawn to moderate amounts of chest hair.
• Polls also show that plenty of women find either extreme—very hairy chests, or no hair at all—attractive.
• Always embrace your natural body, but feel free to trim (but not shave) your chest hair if you’re looking to generally appeal to more women.

Steps

Do women like a hairy chest on men?

1. Yes, plenty of women like chest hair! According to polls, 31% women say men look better with moderate to thick chest hair, while only 14% say men look better with no hair at all.^[1] Burly bros out there, rejoice! And if you’re one of the smooth ones—14% of women is still a whole lot of women.
   
   • Crucially, most women seem to prefer moderate amounts of chest hair, according to polls, rather than no hair or thick hair.^[2]
   • Ultimately, it’s important to remember that it’s all subjective. Everyone likes different things, and there will always be someone out there who’ll go absolutely wild for you, no matter your appearance.

Why Women Like (or Don’t Like) Chest Hair

1. Body hair is seen as “manly.” Ever heard the saying, “That’ll put some hair on your chest?” It means that drinking or eating something will make you more manly.^[3] Of course, it’s just a figure of speech, but it demonstrates pretty clearly that we often equate chest hair to masculinity (for better or worse). And masculinity itself is often a factor of attraction.^[4]
   
   • It also has to do with perceived levels of testosterone, which many people find desirable.
2. Body hair comes in and out of style. Body hair is just another bit of fashion, and fashion is cyclical. The hairy chests of Tom Selleck & co. were all the rage in the ‘80s (and even before, in the ‘70s).^[5] Then the ‘90s and ‘00s happened and sleek was the new sexy. Just like pectoral fuzz on an English heartthrob, though, trends come back, and it could be that chest hair is having one of its many encores.
   
3. Some women see body hair as overly masculine. Studies show that many women like a sort of in-between level of masculinity; not too masculine, but not lacking masculinity. And abundance of body hair may fall into the “too masculine” range, and be seen as threatening or intimidating.^[6] Now, whether that’s fair or realistic is another question.
   
   • Some women may also see chest hair as unhygienic, but so long as you’re showering each day with soap and warm water, and getting all the nooks and crannies, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Where Women Stand on Other Body Hair

1. Women are generally less enthusiastic about hairy backs. The numbers tend to decrease in polls when women are asked if they find hairy backs attractive on men—64% say it’s unattractive, while the rest are in favor, ambivalent, or just don’t know.^[7] Again, though, polls aren’t everything, and there’s always plenty of people out there who dig it.
   
   • That said, younger demographics (ages 16-24) are far more accepting and even enthusiastic, with the number of naysayers dropping to a minority 47%.
   • Interestingly (though it may not pertain to you), gay men are more on-board, with entire subcultures dedicated to appreciating body hair.^[8] Different strokes!
2. Women appear to be on-board with men’s armpit hair. Polls show that 33% of women who were asked think men should leave their pit hair be, while only 13% think they should shave it.^[9] That’s good news for those of us who don’t love that just-shaved prickly pit feeling.
   
   • A whopping 49% of women don’t care either way about armpit hair. We say don’t sweat this one.
3. Arm and leg hair are A-okay, according to women. A solid 34% of women find leg hair attractive, while only 8% say it’s unattractive. Interestingly, 53% don’t seem to care either way.^[10] And arm hair probably isn’t much different, given that it’s far more visible and normalized.
   
4. Women are split on pubic hair. Pubic hair comes down to more personal preference. Polls say that 41% of women prefer that men trim their pubic hair, 14% want a man to have no pubic hair, and 36% prefer an all-natural look.^[11]
   

Chest Hair Dos and Don’ts

1. Trim, but don’t shave, your chest hair for broad appeal. If you’re looking to cast a wide net, then it seems most women like moderate amounts of tidy chest hair. Once a week (and in the shower, for a softer finish), trim it down with clippers to a short length, keeping at least to make it look controlled but natural.
   
   • Use a moisturizing cream afterward to ensure your skin remains soft and avoids irritation.
   • You might also match your chest hair to your facial or other body hair for a natural look. If you have a beard or hairy arms, more chest hair can look more “right,” and vice versa.
   • Also, separate your chest hair from your beard by shaving your neck. Continuous hair from your chest to your chin can make you look hairier than you actually are.
2. Embrace your natural body, especially with a hairless chest. Of course, take everything in this article with a grain of salt. If you’re trying to constantly fit in to some theoretical ideal of what a theoretical partner wants, you’ll run yourself ragged. The truth is, there’s always someone out there who won’t be able to keep their hands off you, whether you’re hairy as a bear, bare as a newborn, or somewhere in between.
   
   • Note that that apart from balancing your testosterone, or over-the-counter hair growth formulas for your scalp, which may not work on other parts of your body, there’s currently no proven way to boost body hair growth.^[12]
