For the men here;

 

I'm not sure if it's just me, but after someone has cheated on you do you find this irritating? Your standing in line at the grocery store, and you see the latest issues of Glamour and Cosmo on the magazine rack at checkout, and the front cover has titles like:

 

"Have the best Sex of your Life!"

"How to bring give your boyfriend ultimate pleasure"

"Forbidden sex, find out how?"

 

...and such.

 

I guess it really bothers me because my EX fiance read these magazines cover to cover.

 

Weird!!!!

for once i'd love to see one of these broads reading a decent rag like Scientific American or Architectural Digest.

I can poop more intelligent reading than Cosmo.

 

Seriously, those rags are like a blueprint for being stupid and shallow, and the worst part is, there are people who read them religiously and actually take their tripe seriously!!!

Exactly. It makes me realize how truly material and shallow she was. She read these magazines all the time, and paid more attention to them than me. Funny thing is, she would always have the sex topics bookmarked, but she wasn't having sex with me. She said she is not into sex, but then the contradictions were plain as day.

 

I'm so glad this **it is over, I need to find a real woman. I'm talking about a woman who is into real stuff, like science medicine or biology.

 

Cheers!

I actually used to look at my ex's chic magz to get tips on "how to please her," because she completely sexually shut off from me. That crap had all the old sh** i knew about in HS in it. They always do. Anyway, try looking in Whole Foods supermarkets were the inkys are a bit more sophisticated. You could also find women there to match, but be warned, my ex shopped there when her broke ass had the money.

You've read one Cosmo or Glamour you've read them all.

 

Seriously, every issue is just a regurgitated and rearranged version of the previous issue. OK, I get it...men like blow jobs/their balls played with/their prostate massaged/sex with the lights on, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Sex secrets my ass...I just read that twom months ago.

 

But, it does suck to see them when you're not getting any :laugh:

my theory on women who are "not into sex", read that tripe in cosmo, and cheat: they're afraid they're bad in bed. :(

 

also, smart girls rule.

Your post was funny, BB. I remember way back when I used to read that garbage.

 

It took me a long time to realize that if MY needs were met it really didn't matter WHAT I did for a man. It became obvious that to them, if I was happy they usually were too...no matter what parts of them I massaged or sucked or fondled or didn't massage, suck or fondle.

It is just like the other posters said, reconstituted pages from past issues with the occasional new item. The new top 10 list for the decade or top 12 for 2007. I read one with an ex once and it was torture. Plus it is mostly ads and I'm being sarcastic on the mostly ads.

They don't have time because they're dealing with The Economist's views on Foreign Policy.

Or we're reading the Atlantic Monthly.

Is that a right-wing propaganda piece?

Actually, I'm too busy listening to Bob Brinker on Moneytalk, thank you very much :laugh:

"Piece?" No. It's a magazine I've been reading since the 1980's. Right-wing propaganda? I'll let you judge for yourself.

For the first time in my life I bought a Cosmo magazine when my flight got delayed a number of months ago. I found it entertaining because it was light reading and so full of garbage. I can see why people read it when they have brain overload.

 

Since I'm confessing, I do pick up Vogue about 4 times a year and just stare at the pretty pictures and never read the articles. It gives me an idea of up-and-coming fashion trends, so I can try to keep up to an extent. If it doesn't suit me though, I won't wear it.

 

I am completely guilt-free about light reading, 'cause I chow down on heavy duty stuff when I'm in the mood. One of my favourite books is "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. It's my guide to the workplace, lol.

The only good part of these mags is the half naked hot chicks in them, and that's all folks. ;)

Excellent book!

While reading Atlantic Monthly, The Economist, Foreign Policy, or Cosmo! Just kidding. :):laugh:

Never thought of that, less conspicious compared to PB, PH, or FHM.

Interesting topic. Its funny that you should bring it up.

 

I had a German exchange student who was dating a woman who read Cosmo. I told him that if he is going to survive in his relationship, that he needed to read what she was reading. That way when she read an idiotic article called "10 ways to tell if he's being unfaithful" and some of the main points include totally ridiculous stuff (1. he watches television. 2. he wears a ball cap when he goes out. 2. He brushes his teeth in the morning..i'm exagerating but it's not to far from the truth), he could be prepared. lol

 

I once picked up one and looked through it and there was an article about how a woman had "incredible" sex with a total stranger when her boyfriend was away and he never knew. It bothered me because it was a confessional which glorified cheating! What's up with that?

 

So yes Cosmo is possibly the most evil thing out there. Beware!!

 

:mad:

That is another thing I find disturbing. I have seen articles in there that also glorify having affairs, and to me that is just plain stupid. I have even read columns in these magazines where readers post their thoughts, and say that having an affair is magical and a good thing.

 

No wonder western civilization is so screwed up, people want their cake and eat it too.

yea, they're a good substitute when you really have to spank the monkey and can't locate a copy of Hustler, Club or High Society :lmao:.
