Have you ever noticed that tons of web pages have guy-oriented ads? They don't think about girls staring at pictures of other girls in their panties while they download torrents and stuff. Just thought I'd type something :)

That's marketing at work for you.

The fact is a lot more guys are "nerds" than girls are. You do see more and more female nerds these days, but the majority of them still scorn it.

And obviously no advertising agency is going to spend money placing an add that only 2% of their demographic is going to see.

Who knows? Maybe I'll learn to love the nekkid ladies.

Then again, I really can't forsee that happening...

The advertisement still gets your attention doesn't it? Then its doing its job. Its the same way in that cosmo your reading.

Actually, I think Men's Health is a more interesting read. Half of Cosmo is ads, and the other half is articles about how to have better sex.

And what exactly is wrong with that?

answer: nothing.

because cosmo, for all the crappy ads, has a shirtless guys section.

Well that's the reason I like it!

Because of the nifty ads
