I Despise Women

This is an article from November 2006. I'm sorry, I thought taking care of your man reminded him too much of his mother? Didn't the 50s end, like... 50 years ago?

There's a simple solution to your problem, kiddo.

STOP READING COSMO!

Sorry, but "passive-agressive changing of men" is still in with a large chunk of women these days.

LOL!!! If my woman bought me this stuff, it would probably sit around in my bathroom for the next 10 YEARS!

If I wanted to date a chick, I'd be a lesbian.

Women should just go with it instead of trying to emasculate their men.

I'd try the exfoliator, but only because it actually helped make my face easier to shave. The rest of the stuff I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, even if the pole was covered in delicious hot dogs.

I sincerely hope that the women who take this stuff seriously aren't the same ones who complain about how shallow men are.

You should just follow this rule: Any woman who takes any article in Cosmo seriously is a woman who shouldn't be anything more than a friend. Half of the relationship advice in there is anything anyone with a shred of common sense could've managed, and the other half is utterly ridiculous.

That said, if I'm not using an exfoliator, I don't see why the guy should

Just my personal opinion, all those magazines are crap, because its pretty much the same information every month, which is LAME. Just buy one of those magazines and you're set for life in every category they talk about (sex, men, beauty, fitness, clothes).

REAL men use BRICKS!

And as for this article I think its all a bit silly really. If your partner is really so superficial enough to covertly sabotage your personal hygene routine with products such as these, its obvious your probably very rich and successful and we should all be really jealous.

Damn.

why does this make you despise women?

I buy my husbands grooming products and get some say on what he smells like, but he also gets a say in what I smell like to.

I don't think it's such a big deal. It's not like the magazine said "chain him down and moisturize him!"
Women who buy those kinds of things for men probably will only buy it if they think the guy would at least be mildly interested. I had a male friend who used that nivea mosturizer for men until it had a bad reaction with his skin but he still WANTED the product.

Also it's not an article so much as a product feature. Magazines are about 97% advertising tripe. Most intelligent people pick up on this. If it were an article it would be more than blurbs next to a giant image of a product. All that page really says is "buy buy buy"

Sounds about right, based on the Cosmo I read that one time. That, and relationship advice makes up most of the bulk of the magazine. (My friends thought I was drunk, but I was sadly sober at the time.)

Most magazines (that is, not just "those" magazines) are like that, even good ones. That, and with most of the tech magazines, I've heard about a lot of the products and such that they write about on the internet already.

We shave. That is exfoliation. We scrape off the top layer of dead skin.

Well, not on our foreheads, obviously, but we get most of the important bits.

You really don't want to go down that road. Really.

My husband got me into moisturizer. (and keeps bugging me to use it more often.)

But I'm the one who found the stuff he uses now...

Ah-HA! That's what I've been doing wrong. I need to find someone to have a shower with.

The article wrote:Problem: His mane looks limp...
Solution: Buy him a light styling spray that's loaded with ceramides...

Ceramides: The most well-known functions of ceramides as cellular signals include regulating the differentiation, proliferation, programmed cell death (PCD), and apoptosis (Type I PCD) of cells. Due to this function, ceramides are sometimes called "messengers of cell death".

The article wrote:These fixes are so simple your man won't even balk!

Balk: They don't want your men performing illegal baseball pitches?

The article wrote:Problem: He's been out in the sun (without) SPF...
Solution: Suggest a day cream that ... packs in a broad-spectrum SPF...

So ... the solution to a man who doesn't wear sunscrean is to get him to wear sunscreen?

Man, I read a Cosmo back in 95 or 97 and I see that nothings changed.

You despise Cosmo, not women
