Now, if a woman was to see a man reading Maxim, which is basically the male version of Cosmo, they would think of him as a pig. I've seen it happen and I've had it happen to me. I've got dirty looks while reading jokes in Maxim just because women have that idea that society portrays.
I really appreciate the positive vibe that you bring to the TFP, Papageorgeo101, and I don't want to rain on your parade, but Cosmo magazine is a rag. A woman that reads Cosmo for more than just kicks, is _not_ a down-to-earth girl - she's the exact opposite.

Oh, and you've gotten dirty looks while *reading the jokes* in Maxim? Hrm, sounds alot like the *I only read Playboy for the articles, excuse.*
