Shockingly stupid advice from popular magazines

Up +66 Down

America is inundated with stupid advice for young women– advice that is not only silly, but pretty horrible as well. In fact, I can hardly stand in the checkout line anymore without seeing a headline that makes me want to vomit, cry, and die of stupidity and embarrassment all at once. I mean, is the first thought we have about anything supposed to be “what would a guy think?” (WWAGT… you know). WWAGT of this dress?? WWAGT if I posted this picture on Facebook? OMG, WWAGT if he walked through my door??!!!!!! Possibly my favorite one is this “What Guys Secretly Think of Your Hair & Makeup: The truth revealed!” Because… uh, that is exactly the thing that keeps me up at night: what guys are thinking about my hair and makeup (hint: they aren’t). Back to my earlier point: is THE purpose of life really to attract a guy? Are our lives really incomplete unless every single one of our decisions, from our choices in clothes & makeup to the way we carry ourselves to the things we do on Facebook, are based on the “What Would A Guy Think” school of thought? And besides that, are shimmery cleavage and sultry bedroom eyes really the key to attracting lasting love? Just a thought, but maybe we should be focusing our efforts elsewhere.
