Cosmopolitan. Why, WHY did I regarded it like the bible once?? SMH. 'WomYN HYperGAMouS BAD, man naturally born one uppers GOOD.

Don't worry, one day he'll be old and all alone, cause no one likes scumbags in the long run. Upgrade this!

Diamond_fairy · 2021-02-06T13:24:16+00:00

And this normalisation of the shittiest men possible is teaching girls what? To accept NVM because it's "just how men are"? To feel empowered in being emotionally - when not physically - abused?

Even if all men were actually like this, our own happiness comes first than being with someone at all costs and settling with whatever trash is available just for the sake of it.

Only pickmes are going to put up with this BS.

SakuraGirl88 · 2021-02-06T14:21:29+00:00

"I'd never commit until I feel like I had experienced enough women". "Men are one uppers". That's a lot of words for "I'm a slut".

advice1988 · 2021-02-06T13:52:43+00:00

So the moral of the story: He wants to behave as if he is playing Pokémon go: Women Edition? until he commits to a woman only to leave her for a 'Cool Girl' tm?

To read Cosmo and take advice from them .......In 2021?? Yikes no thank you!

Sarcastic3 · 2021-02-06T13:59:23+00:00

This is so disgusting. Why are men allowed to be mediocre, depraved and useless? Level up Queens . This has nothing to do with us. I'm so happy I discovered FDS last year. I will no longer take part in this pick me mating call ever again.

localgirlcult · 2021-02-06T14:20:00+00:00

When this sub says it, it's bad and MiSAndRiSt. But a mainstream magazine can ask random dipshits about this and print it and it's ok. Gooooot it.

EarthKveik · 2021-02-06T14:27:18+00:00

Red Flag: He treating women as if we are some part of collection.

K0rla · 2021-02-06T14:37:27+00:00

No, men are not like that, men like Andy decide to treat women like objects, and not people. Let’s hold assholes accountable, misogyny is a choice.

cloudless-blanket · 2021-02-06T15:13:17+00:00

I also used to believe Cosmo was the bible. Started sneak-buying it in late middle school/early high school.

Was pretty sure I was LITERALLY the only girl mature enough and wise enough to stumble upon such important life secrets that older women knew. I was going to be the coolest dream girl ever.

Ugh. Good lord.

BarrierSuitSamus · 2021-02-06T15:43:04+00:00

Absolutely disgusting. I love it when awful, misogynistic men decide their own personal nasty inclinations are the norm and provide absolutely no evidence to back it up.

"Most guys feel compelled to put as many sexual conquests under their belts as possible." "Most guys" -- where did this information about "most guys" come from? And I'm supposed to believe him that "most guys" are like that...just because??

myousername · 2021-02-06T16:02:15+00:00

When men tell me "all men are like this" I'm like "ok! I believe you. Gonna start avoiding men now"

DrildoBagurren · 2021-02-06T15:13:46+00:00

It's a shame that the one thing they can never upgrade is themselves huh.

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2021-02-06T15:25:34+00:00

Good god this is misogynistic

AntiqueGhost13 · 2021-02-06T15:44:31+00:00

Nasty. Why are they giving disgusting a-holes like this a platform?

2021-02-06T16:46:40+00:00

Why do they keep referring to us as "something?"

spinsterchachkies · 2021-02-06T17:51:03+00:00

That’s gross. “Until I have experienced enough women” barf. Women aren’t experiences!!!!

Unfit_Needleworker · 2021-02-06T16:15:24+00:00

Gross

From the times you chastise us for leaving a wet towel on the bed to those nights you rip through a pint of fudge ripple without stopping to breathe, we file each incident in a mental folder labeled Evidence She'll Change for the Worse. We flip through that file whenever we're trying to decide if we want to hang on to the relationship.

Yo what the fuck? What the fuck? What the FUCK I can't believe I turned to cosmo as a teen and thought they were ~feminist~ ugh

LevellingUpTime · 2021-02-07T00:39:11+00:00

They're only "one uppers" when it comes to women, because they're shallow people who get bored very easily.

But they'll have the same friend circle since kindergarten because they're too lazy and making new buddies takes time

They'll be playing on the same World of Warcraft (or whatever tf) account they've had since they were 13

They'll be in the same deadass job they've had since their 20s

Their bedrooms will have the same mattress and single quilt on it they've had since childhood, and their walls still have hole marks from where he punched it 5 years ago after Stacey said she wanted a night out with friends

But a new vagina with a cute exterior? Oh honey, don't you know men are naturally looking to upgrade, it's biological

randomgirlimok · 2021-02-06T22:59:29+00:00

The magazine is all about the things we can do for men- “how to give amazing blowjobs!” “How to look sexy for him!” Etc. Do men’s magazines talk about how to be a good husband? No. Because no one would buy it.

Emergency-Feed8216 · 2021-02-06T19:22:07+00:00

Cosmo-- dubbed the "bimbo bible" in the 80's fashion and publishing world because if its lower-brow fingerless-lace-glove-poly-wrap-dress-pushup-bra-CFMP fashion sense and male-pleasing sensibility-- is owned by the Hearst Corporation founded by William Randolph Hearst III and currently run by Frank A. Bennack Jr. (executive vice chairman) and Steve Swartz (president and CEO).

Edit: posted before I meant to. So Troy Young who was appointed head of Hearst mag division has increased the "toxic, sexist environment" at the company according to the NY Times. https://deadline.com/2020/07/hearst-magazines-boss-troy-young-contributed-to-toxic-culture-with-sexist-remarks-new-york-times-report-1202992053/

I met this guy one time who told me he wanted to sleep with a girl from each zodiac sign to compare. Tell me why he was confused when I wouldnt sleep with him.

honeybeeroll · 2021-02-07T03:13:47+00:00

Only men who have fuckin nothing else of substance in their lives think like this. I've heard other men say this as well, as this is obvious to anyone who uses their brain and desires a fulfilling life. What a disgusting way to live. What a waste of human life, seriously, to spend your life caring that fucking much about how many women you've banged.

eveloe · 2021-02-07T00:55:21+00:00

I’ll extrapolate from this quote (evo psych style) and give the obvious conclusion:

If you’re dating a guy that isn’t that hot, sleep with his hotter friends. After all, they have you around to make their friends drool, right?

shutup201 · 2021-02-08T03:36:08+00:00

Conquests? How many of those women even had orgasms. Dan can't handle the truth of how mediocre he really is. This is why they keep doing what they do.
