I noticed awhile back that the COSMOPOLITAN magazine is more geared in
its advertizing towards men.  Looking at the cover of a COSMOS and a
cover of PLAYBOY, there is really no noticable difference.  On a
womans magazine it would make more sense to have a gorgeous male on
the cover than a beautiful female.  Perhaps COSMOS is geared towards
males to buy it for their female SOs so that the female SOs know what
they should look like to be sexually desirable.
