My friend, and sometimes co-worker Mark recently wrote a list on his blog http://www.lamcmark.blogspot.com/ about odd things that have happened to him, or that he has observed in his life. My personal favorite:

"3.When I was in high school, I used to read girl magazines (seventeen, teen, etc.) just to educate myself of the opposite sex. I thought it could get me more dates or something. : )"

Mark, you have such interesting insights into life and actually I think that it would do many guys some good to read girlie magazines. Maybe more do, and you're just the only one brave enough to admit it.
