 cosmo is such a trash publication, talking about how women are more susceptible to marketing and propaganda - that is a classic example of 20th century mindfuck

 You’re generalizing a lot. Like so much it makes me question if you live under a rock 😂

There is a huge industry of businesses targeting men that want to understand women better. There are YouTube channels on seduction, books on pickup, and literally dating coaching classes where men pay thousands of dollars to learn body language and subliminal messaging. There is also a dark side to this: think of Andrew Tate and the fresh and fit podcast which feed into men’s frustration of misunderstanding women. Men are very desperate to understand women.

 😂 You were this many days old when you learned about Roissy in DC and RooshV.

You must be much younger than me, since you're talking about Andrew Tate.
