I LOVES ME THE CHICK 'ZINES: I'm as manly as they come. Although my wife and morning show partners would beg to differ. In fact, I'm man enough to admit that I love flipping through the chick magazines.
I find them not only educational - it's like reading their playbook - but pretty on most of the time. Like the one on the 4 Things You Should Never Joke With A Man About.
According to the Yenta's at Cosmo, when you're making lighthearted jokes about a man, stay away from the following supersensitive subjects. I'll stop them when they're lying.
#1.) HAIR LOSS. If he's thinning even a little bit, it's probably a sore subject.
#2.) HIS PAYCHECK. If his salary is less than impressive and his wife or girlfriend jokes that she's a sugar mama, he's bound to feel emasculated. It's a little stone age, I know, but most men still like to think THEY'RE the ones who bring home the bacon.
#3.) HIS MOM. HE'S allowed to joke about his mom but if you or anyone else does it, it's a different story. Most men get defensive about their moms, and making jokes can quickly start a fight.
#4.) HIS UNIT. Joking about how underwhelming a guy's package is might seem lighthearted, but if there's any truth to it . . . or even if there's not . . . he won't think it's funny at all.
Yup, Yup, Yup, and Yup! Especially the last one. Take it from a guy ... keep quiet about his junk. Unless you plan on lying, and saying it's enormous!
