    Duh Who'd of thunk it?

    So, we got a great introductory rate, and Mrs. UtahMike subscribed to Glamour for three issues.

    First issue came, with an article, "What do guys really want in bed?" or something close to that. So, I read it, just to find out what I like.

    Guess what guys like? A three page article says that guys really, really like oral sex!

    Gawrsh, I never would have known that if I hadn't read the article. What an eye opener!

    I had a subcription to Glamour for close to 20 years, along with Cosmo. I cancelled both magazines because I realized not only were so many of the articles on things unrelated to me anymore, but some of the advice is really dumb.

    I'm 20 and I find myself face-palming to certain cosmo articles. I remember me and my bf reading some article together that was like "a man's 5 secret sex spots!" or something like that and the sex spots were: the head of the penis, the bottom of the shaft, the spot where the shaft meets the head, etc. at the end of it me and my bf both looked at each other and were like "sooo....a man's SECRET sex spots....are all his penis?"

    cosmo is smart for targeting so many women with the promise of revealing super freaky sex secrets though I will say that! standing in line at the grocery store, the titles of some articles really get you curious.

    No the worst are the articles in 17 magazine. They're the most misleading and disappointed. I read that shit thru middle school and got lured in by cover titles like: "left out -- when all your friends have bfs but you". Becuz I was incredibly shy and inexperienced around boys I was desperate to find out the goldmine solution to getting a bf (or atleast a casual date, anything more than nothing). But then the article just babbled on about how to feel better about urself NOT having a bf. Or all the top reasons why it can be good to NOT hav a bf, and 95% of the reasons were either bad advice or didn't apply to me. Example: when u don't have a bf, u can enjoy raw onions on it hamburger. Um. Actually, already-established bfs are more forgiving towards occasional bad breath then new guys ur trying to impress and get digits from at the burger shack or elsewhere. So big disagree. Plus I hated raw onions anyway. Waaaay disappointing advice.

    Know the saying "we should teach one how to fish, instead of simply giving one a fish"? (usually used as an analogy when debating welfare programs) well, 17 magazine (and others) want to teach u how to cope & feel better bout not having a fish.

    Yeah I remember articles like that in 17 magazine but for some reason those didn't bother me. Then again I was a teen and maybe they did but I forget.

    Probably the worst articles in these are how they show women getting their first apartments and how nice they are. First off, depending on the area your first job will not afford you a nice apartment (this is especially true in NYC where most magazines are located). Second, most entry level jobs don't pay all that well for you even to live on your own.

    I despise the how to get a man articles. In these articles they stress looking hot and dressing slutty. Great if you are 25 and looking just for sex but what if you are 35 or older and looking for a husband? Completely different mindset then and looking slutty will only get you guys looking for sex.

    Yep. I would never take their advice and spent my 20's believing that crap. It's such lies.

    LOL, you made me remember back in college when I has taken by GF to dinner and she suddenly realized she was eating garlic bread. She picked up a piece, and offered it to me. I said, "No, thanks." She said, "Please," and started hand feeding it to me. Then I figured out that she didn't want me to smell garlic on her breath when we were making out later in the evening, so I had another piece.
