I Loathe Cosmo Magazine

This is the new cover of Cosmo magazine featuring Jessica Simpsons and includes a plethora of articles that are written with as much intellgence as Jessica Simpson herself. Actually that is probably insulting to Jessica, but she did try to make a career out of being a dumb blonde so she brought it on herself.

Looking at the featured articles this month, the first thing that stands out to me is an article titled "The Trick That Attracts Hot Guys Like Crazy" and next to that is the article "How To Outsmart Your Date Rapist". They must have put those in the same issue just in case the tricks to attract hot guys like crazy worked too well. Way to be thinking Cosmo!

Then you have the very important article "Your Orgasm Face: What He Is Thinking When He Sees It". How could this possible need an entire article to discuss. He is thinking, "Yes! I did a good job!" Do w really need to analyze that anymore?

And to continue on their obsession of appealing to men, you have "Sexy vs. Skanky" because you want to be able to trick guys into noticing how sexy you are but not be one of those girls. And finally, "Total Body Sex: Those Bed Shaking Techniques That Will Have Any Man Quivering With Pleasure From Head To Toe". Yes ladies, we need to please our men or they may cheat on you. But Cosmo thinks of everything because if you visit their website that are several articles on how to keep your man from cheating on you, phew.

How do you a keep a man from cheating you ask? Well it is very simple, you just need to do (3) things: 1) make friends with any possible girl he may hook up with so she will be more reluctant to screw your boy friend, 2) Ask him questions (but not too many questions or he will think you talk too much)so he doesnt emotionally get involved with someone else and then bang her and 3) Stay on his mind - put a picture of the two of you at his desk so he is reminded how awesome you guys are together.

It is crap articles like these that make women believe that love and relationships consist of nothing more than games that we play and tricking men to fall in love with us. I have had friends that obsessed over playing the game, always thinking of what their next move would be, how long they would wait before returning a text, what exactly they would say, and over analyzing the smallest of things. No matter how much I and others would insist that in real relationships, games arent going to matter but being yourself and being honest will, it fell on deaf ears. That is until they fell in love without playing games and finally got it. But for a lot of girls, reading Cosmo and other magazines like this shape how they view love and relationships. If you look at the types of articles these magazines boast you will find a great many articles on how to land a man, how to keep a man and how to make sure he is happy in bed. The trifecta of what should be most important to women everywhere. If you arent in love, it isnt tht you just havent met the right guy, women YOU are doing something wrong and here are the tricks on how to fix it.

For the love Cosmo, stop holding women to such an antiquated mindset!
