Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Cosmopolitan (or as it's affectionately known, Cosmo) has sex on the brain. Hugh Hefner is a monk compared to the Cosmo Girl in the fun fantasy world conjured by the magazine. The naughty cover headlines ("151,497 of You Begged to See THIS Guy Butt Naked") are legendary, veritable haikus of horniness reportedly perfected by David Brown, the movie-producer husband of Cosmo's most famous editor, Helen Gurley Brown. Inside, lots of articles will warn you that "names have been changed"--and you won't complain, considering that anonymity frees people to reveal what goes on behind closed doors in the lives of celebrities and average women. If you're the slightest bit curious to find out, say, what "shocking act" 41 percent of American women have tried, or which attribute Leo DiCaprio flashed in an interview, or what sort of "sexified" look might "melt his ice-cream cone," perk up your life with Cosmopolitan. --Bob Brandeis

100% rubbish, April 29, 2003
From the airbrushed babe on the cover, to the last page, Cosmo is an exercise in artificiality, and is to magazines what the pulpy romance novel is to books: Vacuous, escapist entertainment, to the point of being laughable.
You will get lots of "advice" on how to manipulate and con the multitude of men in your life, how to apply lipstick so that you can tantalize them with your luscious lips, and what Gwenyth is wearing, and who she is dating this week.The May 2003 issue contains articles like "Cosmo Confessions", where readers "share their most shocking stories and steamiest secrets", which if they are for real, are only shocking in their stupidity; a fashion spread of beachwear, where it seems the less cloth that is used, the higher the price; it answers the questions we all want to know in "Dating Dilemmas: Is he Worthy of a Second Date ?", and even gives you "Cosmo's Cheat Sheet for Perfect Table Manners" should you need to know what fork to use. There are some articles with salacious titles, but upon reading, contain nothing but inane dribble, and are sure to disappoint anyone looking for carnal thrills. The # 1 winner of the Idiot Article of the Month has to be "What Your Celeb Crush Says About You", and once you have finished that quiz, you may need the services of one of the many psychics listed in the classified pages to fully straighten out your life, which reminds me to mention that the ads throughout are plentiful, many of them containing "perfume", so you get odors that compete with each other every few pages.
This magazine is a sorry waste of time, not to mention trees, and better use can be found for both, but I give it 2 stars for the unintentional humor.

It used to be better..., June 9, 2002
I used to read Cosmo every month, and I haven't bought an issue in at least a year. I'll flip through it in the store or the library, just to see if it's improved again, but it hasn't. The changes in the editorial staff has resulted in the magazine becoming fluffy. It used to have some good information on career issues, relationships, personal growth, and popular culture, with even a few good recipes thrown in at times. Now it just seems to be all about sex and how to find, get and keep a man. The articles are getting repetitive. The photography is still good, the writing itself isn't bad, and I do like the quizzes, and Irma Kurtz occassionally. I think if you're in your early twenties this magazine might appeal to you more; as I'm now fully into my 30s, I'm finding I just want something with more depth.

Late Delivery, May 9, 2005
I have to agree with an earlier review. I assumed since that by subscribing I would get the magazine earlier. Every month the magazine hits the stand days before I get it. I feel if I take the time to subscribe to this magazine I should get it before it hits the stands. Also many articles do show promise on the cover only to leave me dissapointed as to what they deliver.

Make sure it's worth it, April 15, 2005
I got an amazing deal for a Cosmopolitan subscription. Little did I know that every month I would get it a few days late. That may not be a big deal for most people, but I work in a grocery store, so I know when new issues come out. You would think that with a subscription that meant you would get your copy a few days before it came out on newsstands? But as of yet, it hasn't. Currently I am waiting for the newest issue to come to my door, it's been out for 8 days now. So be careful, if you don't mind getting your issue days late every month, then it's well worth it.

too much sex!!!, April 14, 2005
It seems like there is only topic in the magazine now. I'd rather see something interesting than sex positions and sex talks, how to get a man... blah blah blah.. it's nothing new to read anymore. Well, but the fashion part is still okay. Some beauty tips are really worked. However, i'm still a fan with more expectation.

Not Good , March 12, 2005
I don't know why women read Cosmopolitan, in almost every issue it always tells you how to make a man happy,make you hot for him, and tells you what to do in bed for him. It says so in the cover! I only read it because the stories are good. It is sad that women always strive to do everything for men and hurt other women.
