  • Skunkhair, on 03/03/2008, -26/+56dugg for being able to look at Rhianna.
    • EwMo, on 03/03/2008, -33/+2She's touring with Kanye soon and guess who got some quality tickets
      /boast
      • Scaryclouds, on 03/03/2008, -2/+28Man I would be ashamed if I had those tickets.
      • mhender, on 03/03/2008, -4/+26Rap concerts are always SO good. They play the beat and lyrics in the background and shout random ***** repeating it 20 times.
      • rabidg00se, on 03/03/2008, -2/+5I got tickets too, but I got them for Lupe, not Rihanna and her twelvehead.
      • isunktheship, on 03/03/2008, -4/+4Oh the guy who said he'd never want to be on MTV ever again and then is on MTV ALL THE ***** TIME, AND MANAGED TO RUIN DAFT PUNK.
    • TheMime, on 03/03/2008, -5/+42What a terrible reason to digg.
    • ToadLeg, on 03/03/2008, -10/+3wow, how desperate do you have to be to date someone who uses a Mac?

      /heyibroughtmyowncoffin
    • daschupa, on 03/03/2008, -4/+6That'd be Rihanna for everyone who's going to do a google image search for "Rihanna naked" immediately after reading this article.
    • Elranzer, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1What Cosmo fails to mention is... Apple Stores are great place to meet single GAY guys.
  • Hermiod, on 03/03/2008, -4/+176The only problem is that even if they do go to an Apple Store looking for a guy, Cosmo readers will still not make the first move and so they'll be wasting their time. Apple Geeks are still Geeks, and Geeks are often far too shy to talk to people they don't know, let alone women they find attractive.
    • Chordinator, on 03/03/2008, -1/+104Chicks just need to man up and approach guys more often... it's flattering and works basically every time. Of course some say I should just grow a pair and do it myself, but that ain't gonna happen.
      • Scaryclouds, on 03/03/2008, -1/+21Sad but true :/
      • renesisx, on 03/03/2008, -4/+3Look, women want to date guys with balls. If you don't have enough balls to even approach them then you're being filtered out of the gene pool, my friend.
    • liah, on 03/03/2008, -0/+49Cosmo actually encourages girls to be more forward with guys, telling them to make the first move.
      (Not that I read Cosmo or anything... >.>)
      • isunktheship, on 03/03/2008, -3/+23GURL?!
      • Hermiod, on 03/03/2008, -0/+3I would like to think that's true, but women still act like it's the man's job. Doesn't matter to me, really, since I'm not doing any asking or being asked. Don't know why I even commented on the story.
    • rworne, on 03/03/2008, -0/+46Doubtful. For my birthday, my wife dropped in the Apple store to get me a copy of Homeworld 2. Not even 3 seconds after she took it off the shelf, she was accosted by a bunch of geeks that were in awe of their luck to find a woman who is interested in real-time battle simulations. She's Japanese too, which them prompted questions of what kind of anime she likes.

      When she told them she was married and she was buying the game for her husband, they were quite disappointed.

      • jabberwolf, on 03/03/2008, -29/+10THEY ARE NOT GEEKS - They dont know anythng about computers thats why they are getting a MAC.

        The reason they arent approaching women - they happen to be gay ( Not that there is anything wrong with that )
        • MacParrot, on 03/03/2008, -3/+16You just can't let a Mac post go by without saying something stupid can you?
          Not that there's anything wrong with that...
      • gudnbluts, on 03/03/2008, -1/+25In the wild, it's not normal Macnerd behaviour to hunt in packs. There are various ways to scare them off if they look set to attack though - "I prefer Windows, myself" being the most reliable.
        • rworne, on 03/03/2008, -0/+2I doubt it was pack behavior. Have you seen the game aisle in an Apple store? It's the one area completely devoid of womenfolk - occasionally one will blunder into it, usually trying to pass through to the Genius Bar.

          There were just a bunch of geeks that saw a woman walk into the aisle. When she looked interested in something on the shelf, they simultaneously (and individually) went into attack mode.

      • scarletreverie, on 03/03/2008, -0/+17Dugg for Japanese wife.
        • econojon, on 03/03/2008, -0/+3how did he manage to get a Japanese wife?
      • trogdor282, on 03/03/2008, -0/+19They scare easily, but they'll be back. And in greater numbers.
      • zongamin, on 03/03/2008, -4/+2bukka....
      • Hermiod, on 03/03/2008, -1/+4Those aren't geeks, they're nerds. There's a difference. I am a geek, not a nerd.
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerd
        • bubba9999, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1po-ta-toh, po-tah-to.
          • Hermiod, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Not really, it's more along the lines of Potato/Thing That's Not a Potato.
          • Speed, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1You forgot the e. (Dan Quale ref)
        • smoke2chris, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Lol I wish I would have known about this sight sooner - this is better than stand up comedy......lol.
          • Hermiod, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Maybe, but I charge more than a stand up comedian.
        • smoke2chris, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Yeah its probably worth it too.
      • Ribbed4U, on 03/03/2008, -3/+2Lol @ retards asking a Japanese woman what her favorite anime is.
      • haterofps3, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1Whats her number?
        I kid
        Dugg for Homeworld 2
    • NinjaJoey, on 03/03/2008, -2/+36Cosmo is telling women this because obviously the Apple store is an ideal place for finding a man willing to spend large sums on a pretty exterior with little substance. Perfect for gold diggers!
      • haterofps3, on 03/03/2008, -1/+4wow the truth really is funny sometimes!
    • xalax, on 03/03/2008, -3/+4My problem is saying hi to the first two gay guys that work there when you first walk in... and briefly make eye contact with them when you are leaving the store...
    • purple8, on 03/03/2008, -0/+4The Apple store isn't the only ideal place. Yes, I'm always super flattered when I'm hit on by 16 year olds at gamestop. Or maybe they aren't hitting on me and just think I look like I could help them with their math homework.
    • worldonfire1, on 04/02/2008, -0/+1not true.. i met a great guy at the apple store just recently! and suprisingly, he approached me.. so far so good, total nerd but super adorable :) p.s. and i'm far from a gold digger
  • nahsrocketeer75, on 03/03/2008, -2/+63Dugg for "Cosmo, which is NEVER wrong ..."
    • dvsbastard, on 03/03/2008, -15/+2BURIED AS INACCURATE!

      (Yes, I detected the sarcasm - but how wrong this magazine always is, is nothing to joke about...)
      • haydesigner, on 03/03/2008, -0/+3Soooo.... You've been reading and tracking Cosmo?
    • ronmexico, on 03/03/2008, -0/+20Cosmo says you're fat, but I ain't down with that
  • moletimer, on 03/03/2008, -7/+171YOUR VA-JAY-JAY
    • FurtThePirate, on 03/03/2008, -1/+3When I went to Safeway the other day and saw this, that was the first thing that popped out at me. And I almost picked it up to see what it had to say.
      • badjoke, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1Same, but I just took a picture with my phone and giggled about it with my friends.
    • Tatsumi2, on 03/03/2008, -0/+11I knew the second i read that that someone would post your exact comment.
    • dkruta, on 03/03/2008, -0/+17Dugg for matching the intelligence level of Cosmo's article.
    • MasterGrief, on 03/03/2008, -0/+6It's extremely unfortunate that this slang term has caught on. I can't think of a term for it that even comes _close_ to matching that level of stupidity.
      • haydesigner, on 03/03/2008, -2/+3FAIL.
        FTW.
        In Soviet Russia...

        If they don't beat it, they are at least close.
        • Speed, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1I for one welcome our internet meme overlords?
    • superfirex80, on 03/03/2008, -5/+1Your moms VA-JAY-JAY!
    • stellamaris, on 03/03/2008, -0/+3I saw this in a grocery store and that's the first thing I noticed. My first resource for all things VA JAY JAY is the internet, not Cosmo.
    • Tatsumi2, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Lol i was listening to the radio today and they were talking about this.
  • happyseamonster, on 03/03/2008, -1/+79First they said supermarkets, now it's Apple stores? If a woman wants to meet a man, she only needs to leave the house. Sheesh.
  • anotherdigguser, on 03/03/2008, -3/+266#1 place to meet hundreds of single men - digg.com
    • KevinRoseMustDy, on 03/03/2008, -11/+68#1 place to meet hundreds of single men who have no idea how to satisfy you - digg.com

      There! I fixed it.
    • mathchemist, on 03/03/2008, -4/+22Wouldn't it be more correct to say "hundreds of thousdands"?
      • stalefries, on 03/03/2008, -0/+40Or even "hundreds of thousands"?
      • bigsteve, on 03/03/2008, -1/+2Thanks Skwisgaar.
        • TheWindBlows, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1who is Skwisgaar?
          he hasn't seemed to have posted yet.
          buried as inaccurate.
      • chthonicdark, on 03/03/2008, -0/+4#1 place to meet hundreds of single men still looking at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition 2008
        • MacParrot, on 03/03/2008, -0/+9Except they won't leave the bathroom
    • PS3Camaro, on 03/03/2008, -5/+2I lol'd
    • akira117, on 03/03/2008, -5/+6(SHH don't tell where were hiding ^_^)
    • Tatsumi2, on 03/03/2008, -2/+4Buried for being inaccurate, that should be thousands
    • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -7/+16#1 place to find men who show sexist attitudes in their comments and opinions towards women ("women belong in the kitchen," etc): Digg.com
      • BaronVonZ, on 03/03/2008, -6/+2I dare you to imply women don't belong in the kitchen one more time, see what happens..
      • canewediggit, on 03/03/2008, -9/+2bitch, didn't i tell you to make me a sandwich?

        go ahead and report me, but you asked for it with that comment. and learn to take a joke.
      • subterfuge, on 03/03/2008, -2/+8sry, but i think 4chan takes the cake on that one
      • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -8/+7I'm allowed to be sick and tired of all the ***** about kitchens on digg. Oh, and btw, everyone who commented to me, just proved my point exactly.
        • Sinten, on 03/03/2008, -1/+10obligatory back to the kitchen!

          not but seriously, the main reason trolls post chauvinist things like that are because of the responses. develop a thicker skin or just wisen up and stop feeding the fire
        • crowbar77, on 03/03/2008, -0/+8I think its more just ppl making fun of sterotypes, kinda like how we make fun of the whole digg population never getting laid..
        • betterth, on 03/03/2008, -2/+2Sounds like fantasyflamz grew a vag and needs to be making me a goddamn sandwich.

          BACK TO THE KITCHEN.

          THE INTARWEBS ARE FOR MEN.
      • Bazillions, on 03/03/2008, -3/+3Aww, it looks like hubby didn't like tonight's meatloaf? Hmm? Too much ketchup maybe?
        Oh well. Maybe a nice footrub will get you back into his good graces.
      • lyssword, on 03/03/2008, -2/+3they are bunch of *****
    • econojon, on 03/03/2008, -0/+3actually, Digg users know how to satisfy a woman. They of course digged the Kamasutra. They just don't know how to put it into practice! ;)
    • haterofps3, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1digg == closet
      So I don't see the point!
  • ChaosProfessor, on 03/03/2008, -23/+1i just came
  • MnKoolaid, on 03/03/2008, -23/+17No intelligent man would date anyone who reads cosmo.
    • GeorgeWKush, on 03/03/2008, -7/+8Don't bury this comment just because you're on the rag.
    • clo575, on 03/03/2008, -4/+2so I guess Rhianna won't date you no time soon.
      • SnowBladerX, on 03/03/2008, -1/+42 negatives makes a positive statement, right? Ah damn if only I had paid more attention in math class.
        • subterfuge, on 03/03/2008, -0/+11. not in all languages
          2. shouldnt it be, "if only YOU had paid more attention in math class"?
          • clo575, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1read - damn I should have paid more attention...
        • clo575, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1I'm just saying too all you self proclaimed "digg geeks" that 90% of American women reed Cosmo & buys at least one copy a year.
    • DaffyDuck, on 03/03/2008, -5/+9My wife likes those kind of magazines. She also has a BS in chemical engineering and masters in chemistry and currently working on a PharmD so I'm not sure what you are getting at. If you are implying only ditzes like Cosmo you would be wrong.
      • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1most of us read cosmo for the embarassing stories bit and the sex articles
        • Ribbed4U, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1That's why I read it!
        • DaffyDuck, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1My wife mostly looks at the pictures. She is a fashion geek.
      • unrealJEDI, on 03/03/2008, -3/+4we're implying that your wife is stupid
        • spyderfreek2k, on 03/03/2008, -1/+5You are, the rest of us know she's smarter than all of us....
    • Fragged, on 03/03/2008, -2/+0Hence they will be more successful fishing for men at a Mac shop?
  • abtarhar, on 03/03/2008, -12/+7Actually, you'll usually find digg users at apple stores. Not sure that they are too hot.
  • OccamsRza, on 03/03/2008, -11/+120Buy a MacBook, get a free husband... spend your life being told why Windows sucks?
    • GregR, on 03/03/2008, -7/+25The truth should be told.
      • haterofps3, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1That a man tells a woman how it is? You sexist pig!
        dugg
    • CrushThemTorg, on 03/03/2008, -2/+5At least they're not Linux users who'll fill your life with how great pico is.
      • Ademan, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1every linux user knows pico sucks
      • priegog, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1nano is the new pico
      • ScottyMcBaggs, on 03/03/2008, -2/+2Ahahaa- linux users who use pico or nano need to grow some balls and learn vi.
      • sudowrestler, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Real men use ed.
        • ScottyMcBaggs, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1It's actually not bad to know some ed basics. vi is on pretty much all unix systems, but if something happens to it and all you've got is ed, it helps. Better than screwing with echo+head/tail+redirects.
  • hydratedsquash, on 03/03/2008, -13/+4They're not Apple Stores, apparently they're "Apple boutiques".
  • u8myfoood, on 03/03/2008, -3/+39What if you don't/need want a husband (being a guy), can I just get a discount on the MacBook instead?
    • bunji, on 03/03/2008, -0/+2You can always sell the extras on eBay! Just be sure to use expedited shipping.
    • trogdor282, on 03/03/2008, -0/+3I would marry a dude if I could trade him in for a Mac Pro.
  • GeorgeWKush, on 03/03/2008, -16/+4Free Tibet
  • mjpanzer, on 03/03/2008, -8/+13Buried for that gross neck with apple tattoo; NO, I will not be entering THAT contest
  • twister17e, on 03/03/2008, -2/+48Being a guy, I'm not interested in a husband. Can I sub for a girlfriend?
    • Accolade1, on 03/03/2008, -1/+6You won't find one at an Apple store.
      • gudnbluts, on 03/03/2008, -1/+10If he changes his mind, he could probably get a husband though.
      • KingGorilla, on 03/03/2008, -1/+6well cosmo is trying to change that. Thanks cosmo!
    • sapo916, on 03/03/2008, -0/+4Just look for the girl checking her email.
    • chungthomas, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1There ARE a few good looking girls working at Apple Store in Tokyo (in the Genius Bar too!)... you may find luck there.
    • bowserkid, on 03/04/2008, -0/+0Most of the females I know love teh Mac.
  • choopie911, on 03/03/2008, -1/+14God I hate cosmo....
    • firebat9er, on 03/03/2008, -1/+0what? cosmo is probably the most entertaining magazine i have ever picked up. hours of laughs.
  • gmm4life, on 03/03/2008, -3/+21*goes to live @ Apple store*
  • Ymeg, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1I wonder why...
  • uberblood, on 03/03/2008, -5/+55the apple store is a great place to meet men... if you're a guy.
    • MacParrot, on 03/03/2008, -1/+11I just go to buy Mac or iPod stuff, but I'm not judging you uber
  • aserer511, on 03/03/2008, -10/+1That article fails to forget the men in Mac stores liek women, but not for relationships. wink wink nudge nudge
  • Dhekke, on 03/03/2008, -1/+76Guys: Buy a expensive MacBook, get a much more expensive... wife
    • Zaggynl, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Hahaha, thank you sir.
    • econojon, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1actually, you want to spend less on the mac book so you can spend more on her ;)
  • akatsuki, on 03/03/2008, -0/+4The Soho store is a big pick up joint, especially before the new Apple stores opened and the waits at the Genius bar were insanely long (5-6 hours after your appointment sometimes)
    • doctordbx, on 03/03/2008, -0/+15 to 6 hours?!?? You call this acceptable?
      Can you imagine a woman waiting 5 to 6 hours for anything?
  • ShawnIsCool, on 03/03/2008, -8/+2Sorry fellow women diggers I'm currently taken by my computer screen + left hand. More then enough pleasure for me.
  • FatLoser, on 03/03/2008, -10/+2I can't believe nobody has stated the obvious yet... which is, if you're going to pick up guys at an Apple... jesus christ, do I even have to finish this? Is this not glaringly obvious? I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but Mr. Mabe was a _______ __________
  • liah, on 03/03/2008, -2/+28I hope you guys realize that us girls read Cosmo for the same reason you guys "read" Playboy. Nice pictures and occasionally some sex tips (though most of them are completely ridiculous).

    Please don't think we're insane if you see us reading a Cosmo. It could be innocent lust that has warped our minds. :(
    • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -0/+16I skip all the ridiculous articles like this in cosmo and just look at the sex tips.
    • MacParrot, on 03/03/2008, -3/+3If it's lust, it ain't (or shouldn't be) innocent
    • mimigins, on 03/03/2008, -0/+8The sex position of the month is usually worth a laugh. Acrobatics may be required.
      • adrianmonk, on 03/03/2008, -0/+0The COVER is usually worth a laugh. The woman on it is invariably hot, but dressed like an extra in a B-grade sci-fi movie.
    • darkstar949, on 03/03/2008, -0/+10Actually, Playboy also has some extremely good political and social commentary articles as well.

      And yes, people do actually read them.
      • chemdiva, on 03/03/2008, -1/+9I have yet to find a magazine targeted toward women with even close to the reading comprehension level required for reading playboy... let alone Esquire or Vanity Fair. If any one can recommend something to me, please do.

        Oh wait, i forgot. There are no women on the internet. Forget i asked.
    • Mahoney07, on 03/03/2008, -0/+5Why would a guy care if a girl reads cosmo?
      • Fragged, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Mhm, beggars cant be choosers
      • Ademan, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1because it's dribble?
      • ukfoole, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1Cosmo brings to light really odd and extreme sex tips, drinking tips, lifestyle tips...

        They advocated hip trends like taking vodka shots up your anus at a bar, that men want you to play with their taint/stick things up they anus, and that if you don't have a Lexus SUX bought by your boyfriend (not husband, just bf), he is inferior and you need to dump him NOW.

        Oddly enough, if you pool all the magazines out there, you get dribble. Cosmo says that a good place to meet guys is at a gym, while in Maxim, the GotM always says something about how she HATES guys approaching her at the gym and just wants to work out. Matter, meet antimatter.
      • smoke2chris, on 03/03/2008, -2/+1I think my guy is somehow threatened by cosmo - he always says " you cant figure me out by reading Cosmo" or if we argue and I dis agree he says" Did Cosmo tell you that?" But I have also found him trying "positions" that come right out of that mag lol . Therefore he must be reading the damn thing too !
    • wufoo, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1I like the way you digg.
    • haterofps3, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1The problem with Cosmo is that not only is there more ads than a coupon book, the sex tips are lack luster!
    • ThreeDee912, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1OMG A GIRL ON DIGG!1!!!!!1!one!!1
  • jeff303, on 03/03/2008, -1/+6Guys, anyone wanna talk about "the sex he has alone?"
  • Andia83, on 03/03/2008, -4/+4Would that actually work? I'm willing to convert to Apple for the right guy.
  • JasonCox, on 03/03/2008, -0/+28Golddiggers.

  • BruceDude, on 03/03/2008, -0/+40You mean you can meet guys in places?? Outside?

    Only in Cosmo.

    Next week's issue: Where water comes from.
    • isunktheship, on 03/03/2008, -0/+16God I'm so thirsty, I don't know if I can make it.
  • KDAY12, on 03/03/2008, -1/+4Give me a freaking break...
  • blorguehad, on 03/03/2008, -9/+3buy a macbook, never get to play Warhammer ONLINE, but hey... at least you got a nerdy fat guy with a greese stained apple shirt.
    • Ribbed4U, on 03/03/2008, -1/+6As opposed to all the handsome young men playing Warhammer ONLINE?
      • MacParrot, on 03/03/2008, -1/+6He's probably about 13 so he hasn't had time yet to become a nerdy fat guy with a sweat stained Warhammer ONLINE T-shirt...but someday...someday
    • supermanred, on 03/03/2008, -0/+5LOL I hope I never play Warhammer ONLINE or offline. Might as well chop your nuts off and live the life of a eunuch.
    • metapop, on 03/03/2008, -0/+2"nerdy fat guy with a greese (sp) stained apple shirt"
      you've never been to the apple store, have you?
  • orangester, on 03/03/2008, -5/+4Dugg for the image of all the women that took this to heart, went to an Apple store, and were sadly dissapointed.
  • HaloZero, on 03/03/2008, -0/+7Cheaper than going t o college and get a business major
  • Emachine, on 03/03/2008, -10/+5...only problem is, the guy is not very likely to be interested in women.
  • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -6/+52Ugh, once again women are teaching women that the guys are the ones with the good jobs, the better technological knowledge, etc. A girl normally wouldn't just go to an apple store b/c she was interested, she has to go to "get a guy." Everything is focused on getting a guy, rather than what the girl wants.
    This is just as bad as mothers who tell their daughter to go to college to hook a man b/c the men there are the ones with the higher paying jobs. Nevermind that a woman should go to college to learn more or get a better job for herself! Come on women out there, we have to stop teaching ourselves this crap.
    • BruceDude, on 03/03/2008, -0/+13We are the ones with good jobs partly because of reasons you outlined.
    • HerrEisenheim, on 03/03/2008, -14/+9Are you a girl or a dude? You write as if you're a girl, maybe even a feminist, but your picture suggest you're a dude, if that's you. ::confused:: A feminist dude? That's crazy!
      • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -7/+7Insult failed.
      • specialK16, on 03/03/2008, -1/+4Ohhh man. I swear that I haven't laughed this much in a very long time.

        God I can't stop laughing. Aw *****.
      • deadlift, on 03/03/2008, -1/+3Hilarity ensued
    • dinozero, on 03/03/2008, -1/+10Of course it's a girl. What? You honestly think a absolutely gorgeous woman would be complaining about the same things she is? Hell no, at least not a *smart* one. It's kind of like the classic "Who's Smarter: Dogs or cats?" Some people say dogs, because they do tricks easier, some say cats, because they get rewarded and spoiled without the need to do tricks, or "work". Who's really dumb here? A beautiful woman has a very easy and, very cheap life. All expenses paid for, 1000's of men anytime she wants them, can get away with all kinds of crap at work, or school. Hell, even ugly girls at work can get away with crap I can't. So what if I get paid more, they get their perks too..
      • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -9/+6I think that must have been the most insulting thing I have ever heard on digg, and that includes the stupid sexist jokes guys make. It is a fact of life that people are more receptive to beautiful people, women AND men. To say that men should be paid more in jobs because women obviously get away with more crap is the most disillusioned and sexist thing I have ever heard. Maybe some men let women get away with things... but some women let men get away with things too.
        Also, those women who are beautiful, yes, we are all jealous of them, and yes, sometimes they do get more rewards than necessary, but you know, maybe... just maybe they earned what they have. Has that thought ever occurred to you. I guess it hasn't.
        People like you just make me sick.
        • dinozero, on 03/03/2008, -1/+9I will not argue that there are some that deserve what they get, of course there are. But I have known way too many that haven't. The only reason I attacked you as harshly as I did, is because I find it insulting you attacked a lot of mothers, alot of very respectful people, for teaching their daughters some very important things. It's not all about the money ya know? I've lived all over, and I've met every different type of woman. I used to live in a big city in Maryland, and I've seen the super independant, six figure salary don't need a man women, and I've lived in Kentucky, and met stay at home moms, and all in all, of the people in Kentucky vs the people in Maryland, people in kentucky are a whole lot happier, getting a whole lot more fufillment out of life, and are truly happy with the choices they made. There is nothing wrong with teaching a girl to "get a guy" just as well my mother wants blonde haired grand babies.. sheesh..
          • fantasyflamz, on 03/03/2008, -4/+7I agree with you in the fact that it's perfectly fine with a woman to have an aspiration in life to become a mom because being a mother and raising a child is a very important thing in life. However, I do have a problem with mothers teaching their kids that they should only go to college to hook a guy with a lot of money. It's dishonorable and the daughter should go for her hopes and dreams. That is what I think feminism should be about: freedom of choice. A woman can want to become an engineer or a mother. Either is all right as long as that is what they see will make a difference in the world. I'm sorry dude, but the moms who teach their girls that their only aspiration in life is to hook a rich guy are just wrong. Life shouldn't be all about money because you'll never find true happiness that way.
          • dinozero, on 03/03/2008, -1/+6Exactly. It's not all about money, some girls just don't want to put fourth the effort to do those things. I mean, seriously. Unless you have some friends with cracked out parents, or you yourself had a kook for a mother. I can not see any self respecting woman, or person, telling their daughter.. "Listen, I'm going to pay 100k to send your ass to college, not so you can learn a damn thing, but hook a rich guy." I mean, wtf? Obviously, most parents, especially ones helping pay for their kids education aren't spending thousands just so they can find a dude, sure they want them to get a degree in a field they like so they can make money for themselves, a rich husband is a really nice perk though, decide you want to take 4/yrs off after a baby and still wanna drive your lexus? Well then, find ya a rich guy. That's all parents are saying.. or should be..

            As a guy that makes quite abit of money, I ENJOY paying for a girl, and supporting her. I have always since I was 16, and making minimum wage. We're trained on a lot of things too with a lot of pressure, like "Go out there, and be able to provide for your wife and your family." There's a lot of pressure that goes along with that..
          • bubba9999, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1I once worked for a state university's college of law for several years. There is a surprisingly large number of students who attend law school specifically to pick up a husband. These aren't dumb people - it's really hard to get in to this school. But they set a goal and took the means to achieve it. I think that's in keeping with the spirit with the tenets of feminism, hard to believe or not.

            I think it's important to remember that in the world of personal opinion, one size doesn't fit all.
        • mrwizard14, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Ah... Agreement is finally reached. Let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya.
        • deadlift, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1i luv digg luv
        • dcollins, on 03/03/2008, -1/+4I dunno what you expect. I clicked on your profile and you've been trolling up and down these comments repeating feminist spew. Digg is mostly guys, and most guys I know are tired of hearing feminists bitch about ***** that just isn't true anymore (ex. my college is 59% female) and tired of being guilted into believing it.
    • gregish, on 03/03/2008, -0/+4Girls can get jobs now?
    • ProfessorLX, on 03/03/2008, -2/+4women should be bare foot baby making and pie baking machines. if you were created for anything more than bearing my children then you wouldnt be made with the baby factory up your cooter. now get back to the kitchen bitch and be happy that if you do make 50% less than a man doing the same job, atleast you're getting paid and probably getting a nice pat on the ass or "accidental" brush up titty grab for free.
  • diggmeup, on 03/03/2008, -3/+9all of the good men aren't going to be paying full price in an apple store
  • isunktheship, on 03/03/2008, -11/+4Ladies, Apple makes ipod "nanos" and "slim/light" laptops, much like their users loins.
    • supermanred, on 03/03/2008, -0/+2Have you ever seen the Mac Pro? Pimp that stainless steel ***** with 8 cores, 16 gigs of ram and a kick-ass video card and tell me that's small. Mind you, that would cost you about 10,000 bucks.
    • deadlift, on 03/03/2008, -0/+18 inches
  • RobbieF, on 03/03/2008, -10/+44If by "guy" you mean metrosexual, pompous, whiny assflower, then yeah.

    :)
    • fxu1989, on 03/03/2008, -9/+3by metrosexual you mean a gay guy who hasn't come out of the closet yet ?
      • supermanred, on 03/03/2008, -3/+5No, he means guys who take a shower before they go out and wear clean clothes. You know, the ones women at the Apple store are talking to and bring home to ***** while he sits at home installing antivirus on his windows box.
        • doctordbx, on 03/03/2008, -1/+3When are you guys going to realise most girls don't give a ***** about computers?
          So while you're here bitching about Mac or PCs, someone out there... who potentially knows ***** all about computers, is screwing the girl you could be.
  • sirlancelot88, on 03/03/2008, -1/+33In other news, Digg made Cosmo's short list of the Worst Places to Meet Anybody, Ever.
  • heystoopid, on 03/03/2008, -6/+5Is it because when you spot the mark buying an Apple product , you immediately know that a fool and his money are easily parted as they are hooked on the daily Apple upgrade grind mindset ?
  • Dorian822, on 03/03/2008, -0/+20This is utter and complete bullcrap.

    ...and this is from a Mac guy.
  • psg188, on 03/03/2008, -5/+23I thought single women wanted straight men?
    • supermanred, on 03/03/2008, -9/+4Yeah, because not wanting to defrag your harddrive, run antivirus software, update antivirus software, have your software and sometimes your entire OS come to a crashing halt, hating bluescreens, redscreens, blackscreens and spontaneous system freezes, and such is gay.

      Get a life, seriously. Oh, and before you die, try OS X for a month. You'll never go back.

      Oh, and your pecker will still get hard for whatever it gets for now. Seriously it wont make you gay or straight or inbetween.

      But, you will realize how ***** windows is.
      • specialK16, on 03/03/2008, -1/+11Looks like someone might have a tiny little obsession with Steve Jobs.
    • doctordbx, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Most woman at least want a man where they don't have to share the relationship with the computer.
      Take the post from supermanred for instance... he worries too much about his computer to be able to hold down a serious relationship.
      My experience tells me that most women like to do social things, and they like funny guys who don't get caught up in religious wars...
      Most of all, women don't dig anal retentive men. Cosmo is a red herring because it makes you believe women like to hang out with guys they could potentially marry... which is not true... women like to hang out with guys who are social and they enjoy *****. That is sometimes why you see pretty girls with douche bags... because they have this thing called a social life, not an infatuation with Macs OR PCs.
    • xaviermeng, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1is that a gay joke? finally
  • Crossmenjeff, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1Finally a reason to switch, though i don't think i'd care for anyone shallow enough to only be there to meet guys.
  • nighthawk419, on 03/03/2008, -3/+1as long as she didn't take a bite out of my apple, id be OK :)
  • psid8, on 03/03/2008, -3/+0I wish there was a site that showed new releases for magazines :(
  • Cryoniq, on 03/03/2008, -2/+4Cheap to use sex as a magnet to Mac...
  • Langford, on 03/03/2008, -0/+21I think I detect gold digging.
    • doctordbx, on 03/03/2008, -4/+3Dumb Gold Digging. What makes the girl think the broke ass guy up to his neck in debt and trying to be faux cool is going to have any crackers to spend on her.
      Nope... most are so up to their neck in it, they have to stay at home and sit on digg digging up Apple stories because they can't afford to go out.
      • Hermiod, on 03/03/2008, -2/+1I can afford to go out, I've got a decently paid software engineering job and I have used some of my money to buy Apple products because they suit my needs better than any other equivalent product. I choose not to go out because I am a geek, and as a geek I don't like social situations. I'm a nice person when people talk to me, but I'm not going to start a conversation with a stranger in a computer shop no matter how pretty she might be.
  • KingGorilla, on 03/03/2008, -1/+6Is there some kind of Cosmo Digg conspiracy to get diggers laid?
