It's like playing dodgeball.
Mar. 2nd, 2008 06:15 pmNot that I would expect Cosmo to be deep or anything, and not that I read enough of it to know what it's usually like, but its list of Best Places to Meet a Guy seemed stunningly . . . I dunno. Shallow? Useless? Ill-considered?
Basically, they listed places where, statistically, you are more likely to find men (and unmarried men). Just men, though. Not: men you would necessarily want to date, men who might actually be seeking relationships, men in a location where they're open to meeting new people.
In other words, they probably should have listed things like LAN party, anime convention, porn section at the video store, etc.
What they actually listed weren't much better, including places like:
- the Apple store
- the weight room in a gym
- a tech company
- engineering grad school
I guess the list would useful for people who are "man-hunting" in the most literal sense, when you can compare it to fishing where they're biting or hunting where there's the most game. But I thought even Cosmo readers would have a more complex set of criteria than that.
