I got my articles from Glamour and Men's Health magazine. They really aren't related in topic though. The article in Glamour is about health and the article in Men's Health was about questions that lead to intimacy. It seems like the articles should be in the other magazine and not the one I actually found them in. Both articles though had three key steps. The health article was pretty straight forward; exercise, don't smoke, and get your cholesterol checked. Not exactly a revolutionary article. Just the basic knowledge which seems to be all you get from magazines like Glamour.
The questions that lead to intimacy article was just ridiculous. The questions were "what's something crazy you can see yourself doing", "what's something your parents didn't get about you", and "what are your recurring dreams." If someone asked me these questions my first thoughts wouldn't be I want to be intimate with you. I would probably stare at them like they were nuts. It was interesting that two of contributors were women but the third was a man.
I thought the same thing when I read what your articles were about. "Shouldn't these be reversed?" And I definitely agree that if someone asked me those types of questions, I would think they were pretty weird. Those aren't really the types of questions that come up in everyday conversation....
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I felt like most of the articles I did find where really subjective to have been written by a female. I also think that those where some pretty weird questions to have lead to a question or even the topic of intimacy. I really think those large magazine companies need new creative teams cause there not hitting the mark with much except fashion.
