This Month In Cosmo...

[Homicidalheathen]

It says women who have earned college degrees are more likely to cheat and that people who make 30,000 a yr, as their salaries increase so does the likelyhood they will cheat.

And In a Cosmo poll, 80% of women said they cheated.

[Homicidalheathen]

Oh god look what I just found.

Cosmo makes me laugh. I read it when I'm bored at work.

hmm.

They actually mean 80% of women who read Cosmo and use their time to participate in Cosmo polls. Not really surprising I suppose.

I only pick up Cosmo to look at the covers (which I usually do like the cover photos) and maybe glance at the fashion pages, then I usually put it right back without buying it. I do admit I used to read it all the time, back 20 years or so ago

I never thought Id ever hear of a woman's magazine covering a topic like that.

I'm curious, if men who cheat are dogs, then what is the term for a woman who cheats ?

Nice to see the media playing field drifting towards being level.

[Homicidalheathen]

Um, I think the term is: slut.....whore.....ho....yah. Just listen to any rap song.

[Zenji]

I prefer the term "whore" myself. Used it a few times to describe such a situation too.

Hmm...if I count the number of women I've been in a relationship with... I think the 80% ratio is about right. And here I thought it was because of me! Thanks cosmo for proving it's not me!!!

*bangs head on wall* Human avoidance becomes more and more interesting. As if one relationship isn't hard enough to deal with.

um, no....it's you

[Zenji]

Not according to Cosmo!

So now we need to find a comparison of Males who cheat and see which magizine is more accurate.

Probably in Maxim: Cosmo for Men. lol

[Zenji]

I dunno... Maxim has pics of chicks, cosmo has pics of chicks....

But I think Maxim would still have a Women Cheaters section...

[BrassFusion]

um, no....it's you

Not according to Cosmo!

I think he means that it's a defect with your whore-dar and your inability to determine who's gonna screw around on you before you sleep with them. If your whore-dar was functioning properly, you'd probably end up better than even.

whoops! good point. if it were any more obvious, it would have had teeth

[Zenji]

No my whore-dar works just fine. I seem to be able to find them without fail.

[Homicidalheathen]

Actually some people have made a good point. The majority of women who read cosmo are younger single females who are still trying out men like shoes.....to see who fits.

You put the same poll in something like 'Family circle' and I bet you get different results......since most are stable married females.

[sass_in_the_pants]

I make the boys I hang out with take the Cosmo polls all the time, like "are you a flirt?" and "what kind of men do you attract?" They're flirts, and they ALL attract the wrong kind of man. Go figure.

And, like, every month Cosmo tells me they have the secret to having a better orgasm. And they say things like "Shh! The secret is LUBE!" Um, that's not exactly what I call a secret. They have tv commercials for it. Generally, things that have tv commercials aren't secrets. And they'll have all these articles about how to get the man of your dreams, and their instructions, by the way, are things like "Ask him for the time". Ask him for the time? Are you effing kidding me? Do you know what he'll say? He'll say 'It's two thirty" and then we'll both go back to whatevery it was we were just doing. Or, "Touch your neck while you're talking to him" In the words of a dear friend "Isn't that what you're supposed to do when you're choking?" Why, yes, I believe it is. And these helpful tips and tricks are usually followed in short order by letters from angry, lonely women for whom these tactics clearly failed.

So, in response, I think Cosmo polls are bogus. That doesn't mean, though, that the people who make up the numbers don't get it right every now and again.

Women cheat. Men cheat. Just find the ones that don't.

Actually, I did meet one of my exes when he came up to me in the middle of the street and asked me for the time. Then he started walking with me and kept talking. At first I thought he was a stalker or something, but he ended up being kind of interesting. We walked together for about ten minutes. Then I ran into him again two weeks later in about the same place and we exchanged numbers. We went out for a while, but he did end up being kind of stalkerish toward the end. Oh well, I know better now.

... Actually, you'd be surprised.
