Cosmo is such a trashy rag, right down there with the National Enquirer.
The attitudes and platitudes of the editorial staff of these publications
should be taken with a grain of salt.  I wouldn't take them seriously!

This brings me back to a previous topic of magazines to attract (or 
whatever) the opposite sex, i.e., men reading Vogue, and women reading
Road and Track.  Nothing wrong with that!  But, one shouldn't assume 
that because the readership of the magazine is predominantly single-sex, 
most members of the sex reads it.   (This is just a polite way of saying, 
I doubt that the readership of net.singles is the same as that of Cosmo.
But hey!  I could be wrong...)

PS.  Vogue, at least, has some redeeming factor... Look at the sheer
     *size* of the September 84 edition!  800+ pages, mostly advertising.
     And reputable ads, too, none of this "Man-Catching Bust in 90 days"
     crap.  You know the type, with the vacuous (but abnormally endowed)
     female very prominently featured.  Undoubtedly, there are men who 
     are attracted by that sort of thing, but those aren't the sort of 
     men who attract me!  It just sort of bothers me that there are
     women who let themselves be exploited like this, but it's their
     life...  I mean, ex-Miss America is going for another expose...
     But if I expounded on exactly why it bothers me, then this article
     would be in net.women.  Let's keep it light.
