Men’s Health: Vital to the common man, or just metrosexuals? – Part One
November 3, 2005
Men’s Health, which could be considered the equivalent to women’s Cosmopolitan, is about as useless and pointless as magazines can get.
The main focuses of the Oct. 2005 issue, besides Paul Walker without a shirt, is studying the body of a woman and confronting your addictions. Now, keep in mind humans have been around for approximately 10,000 years. After all those years, apparently people still need to study the body of the opposite sex.
Let’s assume for a minute that an average guy doesn’t know every sexual fact about women. Supposedly, if a woman blinks more than 15 times in a minute, there’s a good possibility she is on the pill. Honestly, it’s highly unlikely guys will sit and count how many times a girl blinks in a minute. I doubt there are guys that stoop to that level in an effort to figure out whether a girl is sexually active. On the other hand, it really wouldn’t surprise me one bit if guys did try it.
Aside from the time-oriented female sex statistics, readers can take comfort knowing after 30 minutes, they too can have a “whole body” workout. Oddly enough, it took Men’s Health three lengthy pages to tell readers that if you run on a regular basis and lift a few weights, you’ll eventually be in shape.
Overall, Men’s Health is nothing more than an advertisement-filled waste of $3.99. The magazine does nothing more than reiterate information that is common knowledge in the first place. And could someone please tell me why there is an interview with Rob Zombie? Seriously, what business does he have being in a men’s health magazine? I guess Ozzy Osbourne must have been unavailable.
