The publications Cosmopolitan and Maxim are both very popular, check any supermarket counter or men’s bathroom. Both magazines offer advice on everything from fashion to dealing with the opposite sex. Possibly the most important, both have a great deal of pictures of beautiful, nearly naked chicks.
I choose Maxim over Cosmo, for the obvious reason that I’m not gay. Cosmo helps guys across America with their “exploits” by helping chicks feel bad about themselves by forcing very unreasonable standards of beauty on them. They have done this for years. Thanks.
Looking at the cover of the November issue, I’d just like to quote some headlines: “Sexpose: what his favorite mattress move reveals about his feelings for you” (are you joking?) “Read his dirty mind, the naughty wishes all men have” (it’s sex, simply that. That’s all we think about, maybe beer, sometimes) “Naked Chefs!! They’re so hot, you’ll burn your tongue when you try to lick the page” (too easy.) Oh yeah, and “Five phrases that drive a guy up the wall” (my own suggestions: 1) Yes 2) OK 3) Which is your room? 4) You won’t think any less of me will you? 5) You’re gonna call me right? )
All in all, Cosmo is bad for chicks in just about any way you think about it. Maxim may have a negative influence on guys, but at least it’s honest. It may portray women as sex objects, but hey, that’s how many guys think of them. It may give foolish advice on how to please a woman sexually, but honestly, Cosmo’s advice on the subject is much worse.
Another headline from the November issue, “Forty sex secrets of women who are great in the sack.” I feel this simply inspires the kind of promiscuous activity that make women end up feeling bad about themselves (thanks again, Cosmo).
While Maxim also gives fashion advice to guys, they spend far less space on ads. Apparently chicks like having makeup, hair crap, and my personal favorite “Bloussant” (“#1 selling breast increasing formula in America!”) forced on them. At least Maxim sticks mostly to clothes designers and videogames (though I seem to remember something about Longitude capsules). Final Note: Cosmo is a sick joke on women… haha.
