Frankly, if Cosmo is an accurate representation of how women think than the only conclusion I can draw is that women are bat-shit crazy. Women want a guy to match an ever-increasing list of things that he absolutely must be, or we get rejected. If you have a checklist of things you want your boyfriend to be, then you're missing the whole point and your losing out on the person your boyfriend IS. We're not a cake with ingredients damn it, we're human beings!

These articles go on and on about what women want, yet they never give a rats ass about what men actually want. Ladies, if you think all we care about is how good you are in the sack than it's no wonder that so few of you can figure us out. Case in point, so many of you have to ask 50 different inane "why did he do that?" questions on this site.

Having a hard time figuring us out? It's really rather simple. We want you to love us and let us be who we are. Communicate with us in a direct way. If your needs aren't being met, say so in a non judgmental way. We want to be your partner, not your project that you have to fix.

And the sex tips are just psychotic by the way. Every guy is different, just ask him what he likes.

Cosmo and Mens Health.  Two magazines that aren't worth the paper they're printed nor the time it takes to read the incredibly shallow and naive articles.  That's my two cents.

1. Most that I agree with..except for cardigans and skateboards.

2. Sure, I don't think we *expect* chivalry, but it is nice when you first start dating. The door swings both ways though. Girls should be equally considerate.

3. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Seems a bit over-analytical to me.

4. This one's stupid. And has poor writing.

5 & 6. Again, way too over-analytical, I think. I really don't think the average person gives this much thought.

7. Wow most of these are ridiculous! "you should know all this and more without me telling you" and "manolo blahnik shoes also do the trick" Some have validity, but very few.

8. Same with this one. Some of them have some truth, but most are silly.

9. Can't open this one.

10. I agree with all of these.

11. This one's dumb, too. And way too harsh.

I stopped here...too many links lol.

I freaking love Cosmo articles and tips and whatever. I'm a huge fan for the reason that they speak truth for most of the women from all around the world but then again it's not just a magazine who talks about hot guys and gives sex tips there are also many more articles that consider social problems in a world where there are still sexists but also things to decent a woman's rights when it comes to rape and mistreatment. But yeah I do agree with these. It's what the average woman likes to be honest. And to be quite honest we are not only average we are also shallow and mainstream so yeah.

I think it's hilarious that women try to write articles on men and how to please them etc instead of asking an actual man. I hate Cosmo. It's like a complete joke. Every magazine is "25 Tips to Make him Melt in the Bedroom!" etc..and most of them are repeats over and over. The advice on keeping a relationship seems logical, but it's also common sense (such as "talk out your problems" etc) well no shit! It's comedy at best.

I love how men always tell women NOT to listen to such magazines etc, but yet women tend to gravitate toward them anyway. Men aren't complicated. Usually what they say is what they mean. There are not underlying or symbolic meanings to their actions. Take it at face value and life will be much easier! <3

I thought a lot of this was pretty accurate. Obviously some shallow things in there that most women don't expect, like for you to always accept that we'll be late, or to know everything without us telling you. That's all pretty ridiculous.

However, the sex tips, and the points about chivalry, continuing to "woo" us even when we're married/committed, or our worries about cheating and trust are very real. I was impressed. Hopefully real guys read those things! I see so many girls reading stuff about how to be a good girlfriend or be good in bed, but not many guys doing the same thing. There would be many more happy girlfriends out there if guys did!

definitely didn't read them all but I can say that these are pretty true. not every single one of course. that just varies from woman to woman. I think a couple of those opinion are just silly. but I strongly agree with others. I think this is a pretty good way to get an idea about how we think. although you'll never come close...

I didn't read all of them and just skimmed the first 4-5 titles. The advice is general and for the most part applies to a general audience. Don't trust these magazines to give real detailed advice. It's trying to appeal to as broad an audience as possible.
