I wasn't aware that Cosmo had standards. They wrote articles like 20 things that will drive your man crazy in bed, none of which actually do.

FR I don't really see what's to "larf" about. You may not care for the messenger, but the point is valid.

All of these glossy mags have been like it since their inception. It's nothing new. And for the most part, people don't give a flying fuck about it. For those that buy them, it's exactly why they buy them.

Kaliko -> RE: Cosmopolitan's double standards (8/8/2016 5:37:17 AM)
Well, being in my mid forties now, I agree about the lack of impact such magazines should have. My former 20 year old self would disagree. Glamour, Cosmo, Elle....these were my magazies of choice. Different today with the internet, I'm sure, but Cosmo still has its niche.

Its the first point ever made about double standards. No Magazine ever mens, or womens or any popular printed womens magazine has ever held to one standard. Anyone that thinks cosmo speaks for anyone but their advertising is crazy. Thats why they rarely show anything but models and celebrity, have stupid fucking quizzes. I havent read a womans magazine since the 80s. Pics of perfect size 0 women, how realistic is that? how to diet for that perfect date its all bullshit. Yeah, I really do gotta larf, becauase its pathetic

Kaliko -> RE: Cosmopolitan's double standards (8/8/2016 6:07:54 AM)
Agreed. But its readers would probably disgree...or haven't reached a point where they care much about disagreeing. So they are ingesting it as is.

Poor Little Nicky. Are you going to cancel your Cosmo subscription over this?

SunDominant -> RE: Cosmopolitan's double standards (8/9/2016 2:56:25 PM)
I stopped paying attention to Cosmo covers when I was waiting in the checkout line (queue for me Brit friends) after I realized they ignore the all-important E-Cup demographic. They obviously haven't done their research. [image]https://qzprod.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/bra-sizes-and-online-spending-power-low-slightly-low-middle-slightly-high-high_chartbuilder.png[/image]

It's never, ever the richest and most powerful people who are at fault. Perish the thought. One of just the most gobsmacking things I've done in the past is to leaf through Cosmo and find an article about anorexia and its relation to over-skinny models in adverts ... then, turn a couple of pages to find, yes, an advert involving an over-skinny model. I've seen that more than a few times. You read all the way through Cosmo, pump yourself full of all the exquisite aesthetic perfection of womanhood; finally, after you've been suitably destroyed inside, redemption is at hand in the final few pages in the form of hundreds of adverts for cosmetic surgery. Brilliant!
