I think I might buy one and read it on the train tomorrow!
See what the reaction is.

Most women with a brain read the mags for entertainment value and fashion articles, not because they actually think that they'll discover the secrets to lasting relationships and what men really want.
I dont think the OP was trying to tell us that it is a source of valuable information on what women are constantly thinking about but more as an inspiration. A way to come up with conversational topics that will be interesting for girls. Which in itself can be valuable info.

So we dont need to read the entire series of cosmo for the start and onwards, just a bit now and then in order to get new ideas. And some insight into what entertains women.
you would be correct!

the info needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

girls read this, because these topics are interesting to them. and it makes sense to me to possibly incorporate something that girls might generally like...

the funny/random info and conversation starters are just there, only... they've been "field tested". :-)

I work in a newsagents (glamorous I know) and I sometimes read it as we don't stock any men's magazines. A lot of it is like what I posted 45-things-girls-want-but-dont-ask-for-vt63068.html in that it's stuff that girls say they want etc but if a guy actually did it they would come of as really needy and like a big ol pussy really.

There is already a comment that fits this post earlier in the thread. We dont do what cosmo says, we just read it to come up with interesting topics.

back when i lived with my parents, my sister would have piles of cosmo in the bathroom. naturally, i need to read something while taking a dump, and it wasn't bad of a toilet read.

BUT you have to filter through so much of the bullshit to get to any gems. Not worth it if you ask me.

one thing i remember from reading a cosmo is that a certain large percentage of people, men and women, have a third nipple they arent aware of. these third nipples arent fully formed of course, they just look like less-dark moles and are usually located 3 inches below the the right nipple. and what do you know? ive got a motherfucking third nipple! its like a centimeter in diameter, but a nipple noneheless! plus it has a little pale spot in the middle which just makes it so much cooler.

i guess reading it beyond the washroom would just not be worth the time spent reading how to please a mans cock nor the money spent on this info

There are more secrets to unlocking the fairer sex on this site than there are in Cosmo. Save your money and do some reading here, then practice what you've learned.

Once again, people are failing to realize the original purpose of the post.

I suppose I should have rephrased the post to make this more explicitly clear..

There ARE NO secrets to unlock by reading cosmo.

The information presented is generally flawed and skewed.

I do not recommend reading Cosmopolitan magazine as a means to "unlock the secrets of the fairer sex" because you won't find any..


The ONLY thing worth while you will find, are interesting topics of conversation that are interesting to girls. THATS IT.

Somebody back me up on this PLEASE.

Cosmo...hmmmm.....


Looks like Rune's about to have a field day...


EDIT: I think I may spend a bit of time in this thread.

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/re ... ck=cos_new

Verdict: BULLSHIT.

Text when appropriate, PRETEND you're interested when you're shopping with her, just like SHE pretends to like SportsCenter. #3 is for the girlfriend, and sure, try to remember some crap.

Yeah, dont do any of that with a girl you just met. If anything, dump and pump is the way to go, unless she's a chill girl. THEN, work on her until the above is ACCEPTABLE.

God, Cosmo does a good job at making girls mentally retarded.

How can it be possible to not understand that this post is not about the information in cosmo??? How???

It is just inspiration, not something to learn from! To the OP... I feel for you man!
