30 Times Cosmopolitan Had The Worst Dating And Sex Advice, So Bad They Ended Up On This Group
In theory, dating should be the simplest thing in the world. Just be yourself, and when you least expect it, the person of your dreams will come strolling into your life! But as we all know, we often make it much more complicated than necessary, thanks in part to some of the terrible advice magazines publish on the topic…
We’ve taken a trip to the [Stuff] Cosmo Says subreddit and gathered some of the most ridiculous dating and relationship advice the world has ever seen down below. If you’re looking for the love of your life, we’d advise steering clear from any of these tips. But if you’re looking for a laugh and to see some pics that might make you lose faith in humanity, scroll on, pandas!

That’s Called Gay
Could be bi-, but yeah … if you regularly enjoy having sex with people of your same gender, you’re probably not heterosexual. Just sayin’
How does this differ from 'friends with benefits'? Is it just the gay part?

My boyfriend is allergic. That's not the kind of swelling I'm looking for.
I’m desperately afraid of bees. You put a bee in the room and I’m breaking up with you
Well Cosmo, Which One Is It??
A friend of mine told me about something that happened to his brother. The guy always slept in the buff. Something he totally forgot about when his house was broken into, which woke him up, and he jumped out of bed, chased the robber down the street, and caught him. The cops who responded to his neighbor’s call were the ones who reminded him of it. After hearing that, I was glad I always wear pajamas. Since my husband also sleeps in the buff, I guess it’s going to be encumber on ME to chase a burglar down the street. He also sleeps the sleep of the dead, so wouldn’t wake up anyway.
I've done similar (but didn't catch the culprit, so I was just a naked guy shouting in the street in the middle of the night with a baseball bat)
Load More Replies...Well, the score is 11-8 for Team never sleep naked. I guess we have a winner.
Wearing just socks makes me feel more naked than just being naked
Load More Replies...My dad has always slept naked. He had an unusual reaction to a medication once, and Mom had to take him to the hospital. They stopped at Walmart for pajamas.
If you’re in a happy, healthy and committed relationship, you might be shocked to find out that this kind of advice is actually being published by people who are getting paid. But, on the other hand, if you’ve ever been on a terrible date (which, let’s face it: we all have!), you might not be so surprised. Perhaps someone you met on Tinder and ended up having dinner with learned that it might be a good idea to start touching your feet under the table or ordering for you from one of these questionable publications.
However, lucky for those of us who are actually sane, we have the [Stuff] Cosmo Says subreddit to laugh at “all the worst from the world's most dangerous sex and relationship advice.” This community, which has been around for a decade now, is primarily focused on sharing questionable advice that’s been published in Cosmopolitan magazine, but they don’t discriminate. “We will welcome bad advice from anywhere,” the mods write in the group’s About Community.
An Old Image Taken From A Women's Magazine. Not Satire
You don't eat the potato, silly. You peel it when your hungry, then you drink a glas of water and you'll be just fine. Very 2000s this weight loss tip
Load More Replies...And now mash up and boil the potato, add some garlic, mix and eat it
It's just a method of manifesting. The potato doesn't matter, it could be anything just an object of focus, and peeling and/or carving it while reciting your desired outcome, achieves meditation
Yes but the whole "carving" and "peeling" aspect of it reminds me a little of something else...
Load More Replies...Well yes. One way of losing weight is by being burnt at the stake for witchcraft. Not my method of choice, but it does have a 100% success rate.
Normally I'd say yes to this. But the title of the listicle is "When.... gave bad advice". This is definitely bad advice (more so since they shouldn't be giving advice to be skinny in the first place).
Load More Replies...I just bought a ten pound bag on sale, I guess this is another use for it🤷🏻♀️
Hypocrite 101
Fun fact I saw once; Whenever you say "Don't objectify men/women"...men/women is the object of the sentence
Idk it's because I'm asexual... But i genuinely don't give a sh*t about bulges. Like even when i think someone is attractive, i don't feel like staring at their bulge lol
I'm not ace and I'm still not interested in bulges. I can't believe there are many hetero women who are
Load More Replies...I can't believe the hypocrisy. If the title read "36 women asses that deserve gold" the reactions would be so different. Even the comments would be filled with how this is objectifying, sexist and that all body shapes and sizes are beautiful. I am horrified about how calm society is when this happens to men.
There's appreciation and there's objectifying. It's perfectly acceptable to admire someone's physique, as long as that's where it stops.
Halo Brows
No. No they’re not. They look like she’s totally unhinged and just drawing stupid s**t on her face.
[Stuff] Cosmo Says has amassed an impressive 104k members through sharing the world’s worst sex and relationship advice, and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), there seems to be no shortage of awful advice being shared. If you’re not familiar with Cosmopolitan, you likely won’t be very impressed by the magazine’s content from this list. But surprisingly, the publication wasn’t always pumping out advice on how to suck a man’s toes or how to avoid ever paying on dates.
According to Cosmopolitan's website, the magazine “debuted in 1886 as a ‘family journal’ and then became known as a literary magazine for the first half of the 20th century.” Once editor Helen Gurley Brown took over the brand, however, the magazine was transformed into “what you know and love today” (Cosmo’s words, not mine): “a destination for real talk about all the things that matter to you, from pop culture and sex to politics and your career.”
Cosmo Has Amazing Flirting Advice
If I were a man I would have the same reaction
Load More Replies...Sorry, but if a man flirted like that with me, he'd quickly find him off to jail (I was going to say "in handcuffs", but that could be taken the wrong way in this scenario 😉). If it's wrong for them, it's wrong for us. This is NOT flirting.
No, it is not flirting. It's sexual assault. No matter who does it.
Load More Replies...Only in “bodice-ripper”romance novels or porn would anything even remotely like this happen. In real life? Don’t make me laugh.

Load More Replies...You can either believe Dr Vidya V Bhat, Laparoscopic Surgeon and IVF Specialist who says: “Many women may have vaginal and cervical infections and also endometrial infections called endometritis. The bacteria and fungus which is present in the menstrual fluid may be harmful to the skin and may exaggerate the pimples”. Or you can believe the twats that let this hideous article go to press.
oh my god THAT"S what a vampire facial is!?!?!? 🤢🤮🤮 there is a place in my town that does it, they have a huge sign out the front for it, and I never had any idea what it meant but I assumed it was some plastic surgery to make your face symmetrical :( now I think that place needs to get shut down
Cosmopolitan describes themselves as “the biggest young women’s media brand in the world,” so clearly they have a lot of influence on the internet. However, the magazine is notorious for sharing “unhinged” sex and relationship tips and advice that would likely make most readers raise their eyebrows. According to WJEC in the UK, Cosmo’s demographic is primarily women between the ages of 18-34, with the average reader being a 31-year-old woman with a household income of around £50,000. 45% of readers are single, and readers spend, on average, 75 minutes perusing the magazine.
Reader Poll About Women's Preferences In The Size Of A Male Partner's Faeces
Perhaps this has been one great, big, smelly misunderstanding. Maybe the readers said that they didn't like men who were full of $hit and 'Sarah' took that literally.

Load More Replies...The moment my girlfriend starts inspecting my poop to make sure its "manly" enough I am going to have to call it off.
My bf stinks out loo everyday I don't need to know the size only where the air freshener is
If your man leaves his poop in the toilet, which would be the only way to know this information, that's a red flag.
I never knew I was supposed to show my lady friends my poos. Will do so tonight!

At least they have a question mark rather than an exclamation point at the end.
My parents banned McDonalds for me as a kid. Still turned out gay. So what went wrong??? Oh... we did have chicken goujons a fair bit. Hmmmmm.
WHAT ABOUT THE CHEESEBURGERS! I THOUGHT I WAS ARO ACE AM I GONNA TURN GAY NOW?!?!?!
Load More Replies...So far, I've been told I'm bi because : 1) my father would let me do boy things 2)my father was an alcoholic 3)I was brestfeed (another BP article) 4) I listen to rock music, evil music by definition 5) I played basketball and that's a lesbian sport (showers after match) 6) I'm feminist so of course I hate men (why I'm not lesbian, no Idea) and now that's because of nuggets.... 🙄
Load More Replies...hmm, an i always thought having sexual attraction to people of the same gender is what made one gay, and all this time it's processed, breaded chicken turds that does it.
This wasn’t a random Cosmo article. There was actually some “scientist” a few years ago trying to say that processed foods make people gay. PinkNews is a LGBT news site and their article was about how silly it all was. https://www.thepinknews.com/2017/05/26/bizarre-study-claims-eating-too-many-chicken-nuggets-can-turn-you-gay/
This one doesn't belong on this list. Pink News was debunking an idiotic claim that eating fatty foods will turn people gay. Here's the article: https://www.thepinknews.com/2017/05/26/bizarre-study-claims-eating-too-many-chicken-nuggets-can-turn-you-gay/

Why Dressing Your Husband Up As An Old Man In Red Is Somehow A Turn-On
Load More Replies...I’m guessing this is the same person who thinks bees flying around the bedroom is sexy? Wth 🤦🏻♀️ 😳
Imagine spending a day with her: "a fork, mmmmh sexy", "look at these boots, hell too hot", " clouds in the Sky? What a turn on!" 🤣
Load More Replies...That's typical fanfiction for you, lol. I didn't know Cosmo publishes it, though.
I've come to the conclusion that cosmopolitan is incredibly toxic.
I don't read so-called women's magazines. I stopped many, many years ago when I was young and realized that they were all about how to catch a man. Make-up tips to be attractive to men. Recipes to get to a man through his stomach. Diet tips to be skinny and therefore find yourself a man. Oh, and fashion must haves. Here and there, they'd have new item, celebrity, or pop culture news. But, the bulk of the content was about getting thin and catching, and keeping, a man. Almost forgot the sex tips to keep your man happy. Arrgh! Reading these Cosmo fu**eries, I feel like I dodged a bullet. Or they did. Because if I'd read one of those stories, I probably would've written a very nasty letter.
Load More Replies...For over a decade now, Cosmopolitan has received criticism for sharing not only comically bad advice, but also advice that might actually be harmful to readers. Kate Power wrote a piece for WHYY in 2013 breaking down how unhealthy the obsession with flattening women’s bellies and burning off those “guilty pleasure treats” is. Power notes that publications such as Cosmo and Women’s Health stigmatize eating, encourage eating disorders and fatphobia and are far from promoting body positivity, all under the guise of promoting health. Thankfully, Cosmo doesn’t seem to share such harmful advice in their Health and Fitness section today, but the impact of those articles they pumped out in the early 2000s and 2010s does not disappear overnight.
With Tips Like These, We Can All Be "Hot Girls" In No Time
They did it again. Vagina is inside bits, you can't touch it subtly or not if you have clothes on. What this illustrates is touching a vulva (outer bits). And yes, the advice is horrible, but this doesn't mean they can use wrong names for female parts. Or let's calls men's outer bits a colon and see how they like it.
If she was touching her actual vagina in public, that would definitely draw attention to her!
Load More Replies...Let me see if I have this straight. Women are subjected to relentless harassment, on the street, in other public places, at work, and also in private homes. Sometimes the harassment becomes stalking, gets violent, and often deadly, especially if the woman says that evil word “NO”, that the guy doesn’t want to hear. So, with all that horrible stuff going on, you’re suggesting we focus the male gaze to our sexuality by touching our private parts around other people, and thereby attract all kinds of unwanted attention? WT Actual F? Are you living in the REAL world? Sounds like this was a fantasy written by an incel.
8 Reasons Why Cheating Isn't Actually That Bad
Written by someone with no moral compass. If you want to have an open relationship, find a partner that is ok with that.
I agree. I don't beleive in absolute morality, but I believe in contractual morality, i.e. keep your promises. Most relationships carry an implicit monogamy clause, so if you have to lie about it, you are a douchebag.
Load More Replies..."Once a cheater always a cheater" wise words of my mom and probably other people
Tbh, if a person cheats on you it probably means that the relationship was never meant to be
It's not the illicit sex that causes the pain. It's the lying, deceit, and betrayal that hurts. Once you've shown yourself as untrustworthy, it's over.
There's a saying "A well done cheating can save many marriages." Though I can't really judge since I will never expereince that.
Guarantee that this is a product of someone's mind in an attempt to show the person they cheated on that if this magazine says it , it must be true, lol
Who Knew Hummus Could Be So Sexy? (Courtesy Of Buzzfeed)
i laughed so loud :D i imagined myself muttering HUUUUMUUUSS while doing the thing XD
You’re not supposed to mutter it, but finger-spell it. Otherwise it’s awkward.
Load More Replies...Me whispering sexily: “HUUUMMMMMUUSS” My husband whispering back: “Where’s the pita bread?”
This is much more believable lol. I would be thinking pita bread too.
Load More Replies...In my language... humus means dirty garbage. Haven't been softer in my life.
No, no... Humus (in English) is decaying organic material that has mostly completed its transformation into soil. You gotta make sure you keep that extra M in there! It makes all the difference!!
Load More Replies...I guess I had better be careful at the deli counter from now on. Maybe just point to it instead
"D**k receptors" It's a good thing it's not a medical journal. *facepalm*
Now, Cosmo may be the magazine mentioned in the title of this online group, as they’re the most successful and the most famous for sharing this kind of advice, but they’re certainly not the only ones guilty of sharing questionable and downright terrible advice. Julia Belluz wrote a piece for Vox in 2015 detailing why women’s magazines are “bad for our health,” and not much has changed since then. When it comes to the health and lifestyle advice in these magazines, Belluz notes that many of it comes from celebrities, who are in no way experts on the topics, and often boast miracle diets and unhealthy restriction that aren’t sustainable in any way.
When You Need To Macgyver Some Mints, Cosmo's Got You Covered

I Don't Know, That Sounds A Bit Too Harrowing For Me
Ok, this actually happens. I used to work at an optometrist's office, and a patient came in with his (obviously much younger) girlfriend. I was getting all of his info, and asked him for his date of birth. He told me the month and day, and I asked him for the year as well (all required info in the system). At first he refused to tell me, and asked why I needed it (to help distinguish him from anyone else who might have his name, as well as because age plays a factor in eye health), so finally he muttered it under his breath really quickly. He then left to go to look at glasses while he waited for his exam, and his girlfriend came up and said "Did he just say (year)???" Turns out he had told her he was ten years younger than he actually was. The dude looked SIGNIFICANTLY older than me (like, older than his actual age), and his lie made her think he was younger than I was. I just laughed.
harrowing. Whoever authored that story may not know what the word actually means...
Jack Benny was “35 and holding” til the day he died. When he was 80. (Oh hell, just Google him.)
This will never be a harrowing tale. You want harrowing tales, buy a newspaper.
The only harrowing tale in Cosmo is what happens to the people boffing the Grinch surrounded by bees.
Load More Replies...Yeah, This Makes Way More Sense Than Just Picking The One You Like More
Two hot guys who are also "roommates"? Congratulations, it's just a gay couple experimenting with their sêxlife
Yeah, sorry, no. I'm gay but I think this type of comment is gross. This is the mindset that perpetuates things like "no homo!" and full on homophobia. Stop acting like straight guys can't have friendships with one another.
Load More Replies...It’s no secret that many of these women’s magazines also prey on their readers' insecurities, pressuring them to buy expensive products they don’t actually need and attempt to look like celebrities who wouldn’t even look like themselves without plenty of plastic surgery and photoshop. “Not only are these celebrities genetic anomalies, but they also dedicate their lives to beautifying their faces and bodies; their careers hinge on this,” Belluz explains, noting why we shouldn't compare ourselves to them. “The rest of us have other things to worry about in our lives, and trying to look like Kim or Angelina is a frustrating exercise in futility.”
No Thank You
... wasn't there even an attempt to make people believe that wearing diapers under huge and complicated wedding dresses was a thing now? While I can imagine it being pretty handy, the only people I know for sure have worn diapers during their own wedding ... wear them every day anyway.

Also, what is the deal with the see through petals? That's not how roses work.

Cosmo Today vs. 4 Years Ago
The picture is the same one they used in the other "objectify" article. That guy's probably going to find it hard to get more photo work pretty soon, unless its to go with articles like "8 signs your boyfriend is a serial killer"
Why does that remind me of the episode of friends, when Joey gets a job for an STI awareness campaign?
Load More Replies...I'm not qualified to judge around such cases, because my organ only is about 7" long. To have a sufficient judgability about such, you need to be in the double digits.
Load More Replies...I swear magazines have a huge bowl in the middle of the room where staff throw in all sorts of suggestions that are randomly pulled and turned into articles.
According to GoodTherapy, just three minutes flipping through a fashion magazine can make women feel guilty, ashamed and depressed. They also report that, regardless of a woman’s size, we are all equally negatively impacted by viewing images of extremely thin models in fashion magazines. So why do we continue to buy into ridiculous advice from toxic magazines? Even if we know it’s harmful and doesn’t teach us any actual, beneficial knowledge, readers can’t help but pick up the latest edition of Vogue or Cosmo when checking out at the grocery store.

If you’re actually searching for advice for dating and relationships, it’s recommended to consult an expert. There are plenty of dating experts, couples counselors and therapists who can help you much more than a silly Cosmo article that was likely written just for fun. Don’t feel ashamed if you can’t contort your body in the ridiculous ways Cosmo recommends, and please refrain from comparing yourself to any of the celebrities who promote questionable diets and swear that their faces are “all natural.” Feel free to read these magazines if they are your cup of tea, pandas! But if they ever make you feel bad about yourself or lead you astray, don’t hesitate to swap them out for an actual book! (Or, you know, Bored Panda...)
Haha What
I don't think I would date seahorse, but whatever floats your boat..
Water. Water floats boats. Or oil. Whatever. You own a boat. Lol
Load More Replies...This one isn't so bad. Male seahorses actually are cool - they carry the pregnancy.
Yet, they abort the babies if they find a more attractive female (a bigger one) during the pregnancy and if the babies stay too long around him after birth they become a meal. Cool for taking the pregnancy part, but not the coolest fathers on Earth
Load More Replies...I don't understand the overall purpose of these articles. Is it, like, it's okay to do this? Or maybe you should try doing this because you might like it, and even if you don't, you'll be a Cosmo woman? Or is it more like Ripley's Believe It or Not, eg, some kind of upscale National Enquirer freakshow?
I believe that dating a seahorse, or any other non human for that matter, is illegal.

If you’re in a relationship, we hope this list has made you count your blessings, pandas. And if you’re currently single, well, don’t feel so bad about not finding “the one” yet. You definitely don’t want to settle for anyone who takes this advice seriously!

Well this is Cosmo after all. I stopped reading it when I was 19, and I believe it's got worse since

Yeah. Make his life hell. Don't worry: he won't retaliate. That's a really constructive way to deal with it.

Being An Asshole Is The Best Way To Flirt With A Guy!
Amazing that this person thinks that a man would make a cognitive leap from free coffee to marriage.
Right, I just can imagine this with Game of Thrones or Harry Potter. Sure, both authors have other works, too (I was a fan of Martin's scifi when he hadn't write a word of GoT yet), but if you say that it'll be obvious you haven't read either (and was living under a rock for the last 20 years).
Strange that it is presumed that the man is thinking these things. The ONLY thing the dude is thinking is how he's going to trip the b***h with the coffee...
Are You F*cking Serious?
why is it that if the races in the title were reversed, this would be considered racist? it's racist either way. racism is the "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group". not specifically against a minority, though, yes, that is usually what happens.

If he is a disciple of Billy Connolly he is probably actually thinking about the multiplication table
Yeah the bee thing... most likely though... probably not a lot of thought happening actually... One thing might be, perhaps, "what was that breeze...?"
i thought about what it would be like to be a woman, not during sex though, because im a virgin, then i shuddered and was happier to be a man. not because of the sex part, but rather because being a woman sounds... hard. honestly i feel like i would actually go insane with my mental problems on top of the problems you automatically get as a woman.

Certainly saved the text as proof of what didn't happen, in case I soon got a knock on the door from the police or "Catch a Predator" show. 😱 Parents, teach your kids what they should/shouldn't do on either side of the scenario I found myself in.

Right! My husband loves our cats, he wasn't really a cat person at first but when we adopted our first boy they were inseparable.
Load More Replies...It doesn't know what it's talking about. You do not own a cat ... a cat owns you. A cat commands you, and has the final say on whatever the cat seems to want the final say over.
So true! A person who can connect with a cat can connect with anyone... a total keeper.
Load More Replies...The "alpha male" that wrote this has a dog so he has something to control, and probably expects submission/obedience from his girlfriend too.
Well author telling he have no idea how to connect with a cat tells a lot about him... Cats are loving and caring, and showing a lot of affection to owner. It looks like author is too ignorant and stupid to learn about their body language...
I don’t care how weak I sound, cats are better than dogs and I love them

It is the level of maturity being addressed. When your audience is still dramatising social interactions with their doll collection. It's what they relate to. It's just amazing, though, that their audience can read at all.

Everyone in the relationship knows about each other, and seems fine with the arrangement, so there's no issue here.
Sounds like an open relationship/poly so there is no cheating, nothing wrong with this one.
Can anyone in a poly relationship explain this to me? I might be able to handle it if I was also in a relationship with the woman, and all three of us had an intimate relationship. But, my husband splitting his intimacy between us I feel would make me really sad.
