1. Eh, it's a phase. She'll grow out of it.
Those magazines fill a niche, I guess. I remember reading them when I was 20-something and hot- to-trot, as us geezers say. :rofl:

9. Hon, embrace your geezer-hood.
I turn 50 in another month, and I'm ready for AARP, senior discounts, and whatever other freebies us old-timers can get! :rofl:

20. Speak for yourself, my friend.
Denial works for me. I'm going to kick, scream, yell expletives, and not look my age until they haul my remains off to the crematorium.

21. Go for it!
Denial has been unfairly maligned, if you ask me.

8. Oh, no, it's OK
I've often been amazed at how every issue seems to have the same theme, especially when it comes to sex articles. I read it for cheap entertainment. :P :hi:

5. Even when I was at the age of the target demographic, I did not read it.
Of course I was really not interested in men during those years.

12. So then tell us if you have this information. What IS the most satisfying sexual position?
I can't believe that you'd strut such knowledge in front of all of us and then not share.

28. They just figured that out?
That's certainly one of the better ones for the guy- the woman does most/all the work and he gets a nice eye/hand full of bouncing boobies.

22. Years ago, when such things mattered to me way more than they do now,
I'd pick up a copy now and then. But there was never much variation: it was always about how to get and keep a boyfriend by losing weight, wearing the right lipstick and tickling the guy's naughty bits in exactly the right way. Throw in a horoscope and an advice column and you've got Cosmo.

24. It's like Mens Health magazine ...
There's always a "Rock Solid Abs" article, with blurb on the front cover, every month.

26. I used to read them all the time
In my late teens and early 20s. Then I realised what a waste of money they were... I did an experiment and ripped out all the advertisements in the magazine and it was a tiny fraction of what it used to be.

I preferred to read Time and Newsweek versus that. The biggest mistake I made with a Newsweek was reading the Madrid Bombings issue during dinner.

I quickly lost my appetite. (They had a full two page photo of the inside of one of the carriages)

Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 10:01 AM by Shell Beau
some really interesting articles. Marie Claire has actually become more political than it used to be. But they have great health and women's rights articles too. Plus I love fashion. You'd be surprised if you read it all the way through. I actually skip over the sexual stuff.

29. even better mags like "Self" are endlessly repetitive
a healthier point of view, but just as repetitive.

when I was middle-school age, I thought Cosmo was like Playboy, simply based on the women on the cover.

30. I used to sneak a peak at my mom's copy...
...when I was a little boy.

Not sure if that's cause or effect, though.;)
