The Greenhouse Man Rules #4 - Voting open

[FuiFui BradBrad]

Week four of the man rules. We are slowly starting to get an idea about what the Greenhouse Man is all about. Thanks to you all we have decided that the Greenhouse man:

• Is allowed to apply sunscreen on another man.
  Can never wear Budgie Smugglers
  Finds it acceptable to carry his partner/wife/girlfriends* shopping bags

They have all been pretty unanimous so far, lets see if that trend continues. This week's man rule is



Real men read women's magazines

Again, inspired from a personal moment. When I first moved to Sydney and started going out, one of the guys I use to board with would tell me that a great way to attract women is to read magazines such as Cosmo, Cleo etc. He said that they offered insight into the opposite sex, and can be used as a 'Pick up bible'.

I have since told women this and they agreed that it's a bit weird, and guys shouldn't read those magazines. But who is right? Is it weird for guys to read Cosmo, or is this perfectly acceptable?

Greenhousos, it is time to vote

* Probably a good idea not to carry them all at the same time, I see potential for conflict.

Why would you want to read a woman's magazine? I don't care if you do, but I wonder why on earth you would read woman's day.
Chick fitness magazines are ok tho

[Toviii]

That is weird...

[The Nickman]

I say no, it either seems weird or creepy, or both...

Isn't lusting after another women a sin Dubby?

Don't pretend that it's not a no because people from Rocky can't read.

Perhaps for you we should have asked if it was ok to look at the pictures in a women's mag?

My point exactly. Clearly Big Dogg reads them

[Captain Punish]

I read them.

What of it?

[The Nickman]

I read them.

You also think budgie smugglers are acceptable at the beach!

[Captain Punish]

Whilst I read New Idea.

[SirMcSquid]

I wouldn't buy one, but if the only magazines available in the doctors waiting room were Cleopolitons Weekly I'd have a flick through..

Though there hasn't really been need to flick through them to pass time since smart phones came out.

[ForeverMcCrone]

It's ok to read them if they are available at a doctors waiting room or someone has already bought them and your just reading them. IMO not ok to buy one

[The Nickman]

I wouldn't buy one, but if the only magazines available in the doctors waiting room were Cleopolitons Weekly I'd have a flick through..

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing.

The Women's Weekly app is amazing.

[Raidersrawesome]

look at the pictures , yep

Yes.

However my wife and I enjoy reading fitness mags and often read each other's relative magazine. She reads men's health because she finds some articles interesting and vice versa

[Dusty]

I voted no as I don't read them... however I sometimes flick through to check out the decent looking ladies

[craigo]

No to buying. Ok in waiting room.

Piggles with a rare genuine LOL post!

[Off]

Good lord no, even my bean peeler hates em.

[Manbush]

Nope not even at the doctors, they always have at least a National Geographic or something uni sex to read

[Toviii]

National Geographic mags are fantastic to read in waiting rooms!

[-PJ-]

if you want to find out how much lettuce Kim Kardashian ate to achieve her new slim figure these magazines are a must.

[T_R]

Only in waiting rooms, only as an absolute last resort and only with an amused, cynical detachment.

Like when you read posts from certain GH members?

[Green eyed Mick]

Nobody should be reading the kind of rubbish they print in Cleo, Cosmo, Girlfriend, etc....

Always my favourite in the waiting room. I will stare at the wall rather than pick up a womans day or some other gossip magazine

[Manbush]

In our waiting room they've placed the Canberra Raiders membership book from last year I received, see a few men reading it while waiting

[86 invader]

Like Manbush said National Geographic is available in waiting rooms... Plus mobile phones with internet access...

[The Nickman]

This poll is the closest one yet.

Worm has obviously voted seven times.
