My thoughts exactly.

Now, the thing with women magazines... I've only read 2 or 3 in my life but I've come to think that, for the most part, it's not about improving your life but becoming somebody else, some lifeless image that we're all supposed to look up to. I guess those magazines aren't harmful if you choose what kinds of articles are to be taken seriously (i.e. I liked the how-to-exercise-at-home kind of articles, for instance)... but yeah, I'd rather not read women magazines either.
