(insert interesting title here)

This weekend, i read an issue of Glamour magazine. They're selling to mostly women, as it is a women's magazine, but i found a few ads for men's products such as for various colognes. After looking through this magazine, i concluded that it is directed towards women who love guys, relationships, and sexual intercourse. Almost all of the front-page titles were about articles such as "Everything you want to know about guys" and "25 sex questions no one's ever asked men before". Other articles not featured were ones such as "Man-atomy 101", "Men, sex, and love", and "Breaking up: what's normal, what's not". The whole magazine is centered around men and how to make them happy, whether by "giving them a good time" or changing your hairstyle to make it more sexy. I got the impression that it would be directed towards older women who want to change their inward and outward appearances. In addition to the articles, there were many ads about hair, makeup, and acne medication. They are selling to older women who want to change because there is a lot of money in it. After reading about the "perfect hairstyle" to wear for a man, many women probably turn the page and see an ad about the hair products used. They then buy what they see, which is exactly what the magazine makers want. Glamour is more focused on women in their 20's-30's who have or want boyfriends, but cannot seem to get one.
