What is with girls and magazines??

Most of the girls I know will be engrossed or entranced into a woman's magazine. Are magazines specifically made for women? Are the only magazine that men usually read Playboy? Forgive me for stereotyping, of course there are men who read legit home magazines but I'm saying in general and with my experience women read magazines on a much higher level than men. So my ultimate question is what is it about the magazine that attracts women so much?? Note: Some girls would want to read a magazine rather than a book or read a magazine rather than play game. Huoh?? Hehe =)

i think they read them because they're filled up all the new style clothes, makeup, young celebrity gossip, perfume you can rip out and try on and some even go to the back and get some recipes to make their husbands a decent meal. and i must admit when sitting in a doctors office waiting to go in i grab a few recipes in the back of the mags to cook for myself, my cooking gets old so im always looking to spice it up a bit.i read fishing magazines, i actually thought playboy was no longer in print, i guess im getting old.

Yes, it's true for me. I love reading Magazines. Not even reading, but I love to see amazing pictures, new outfits, new ideas for my closet and maybe find some tips and tricks about how to make perfect relationships with my husband. And yes, I love to read a little bit about celebrity gossip.

It's like asking men the same thing, what is it with men and cars? Women like to look at the latest fashions and they want to be updated on the current gossip (who's doing who, who's dumping who and what not), but as for me, I'd rather read a book by Stephen King or Peter Straub than salivate over clothes printed on glossy paper...

Most women's magazines cater to their needs: Fashion, relationship advice, gossip, etc. We like to read magazines because we find out about things that we'd never hear from our boyfriends. :P

yeah....coz girls love to be updated with the current trends, say, fads and fashions... Girls are very creative towards their own outlook. or the way how they appeal to people around them.

Magazines are beautiful and they involve everything a typical girl is interested in. Gossip, celebrities, fashion and dating advice, ways to get thinner, shopping, horoscopes, reading, games, quizes, and contests. Girls also get to sample perfumes and other cosmetic products. They get coupons as well. I guess the magazines aimed at men are not as interesting to men. Men typically prefer more active activities, while women are more laid back.
