      Cosmopolitan Magazine — false news

      This is False information. A vegan diet has been scientifically proven to make it actually easier to gain muscle mass. Vegan/plant based nutrition does not need any more back lash. A Whole Foods plant based diet has been increasing worldwide because of its health benefits, vegan diets are a step closer to plant based nutrition. Protein from meat is not superior to plant protein and there are hundreds of studies to prove that like The China Study, which was one of the most significant studies ever done. This news has saved millions of lives so please don't discourage it. Look at most of our Olympic body builders and see how they strive on a plant based diet. Game changers, the documentary is coming out in September, there is proof right there.

          Cosmopolitan Magazine — the smutty magazine

          Couple years ago I started getting cosmopolitan in the mail I've never really looked at one before I'm over 50 what a trashy slutty piece of crap !!
          Of Course I didn't order it. And it's near impossible to get them to stop sending it so I just throw it in the trash .

          I was told they send out subscriptions that are paid for so that they can say they have so many subscribers even though we didn't subscribe .

          Softcore porn should not just be sent to anybody's mailbox !!

            Cosmopolitan Magazine — magazine subscription

            I have been receiving the cosmopolitan magazine for two months. I never ordered or subscribed. I want it to stop. If it doesn't stop immediately I will take further action and sue for harassment also. Stop sending the magazine's I never asked for and I WILL NOT pay for them ! How did you get my info ? You are illegally pushing your magazine on me without my approval. That I would think is available. Stop sending the magazine's. It's all very criminal and that's a bad way to run your business. How dare you try and trap me into something like this. It's a total invasion and forceful tactics. Shame on you Cosmopolitan !

              Cosmopolitan Social Media — penguin post on facebook about how difficult monday are

              I think it is distasteful to make a post about how difficult Monday's are at the expense of a father penguin who is trying to protect his egg. It also shows carelessness on the behalf of the social media team to not understand or recognize that this is not at all funny because the baby penguin probably died due to the egg cracking from the fall. As having I worked on a social media team before as well as having a degree in marketing I know what goes into being able to monitor posts as to not ruin the brand's reputation and in my mind your brand reputation is now ruined. Not only ruined because of the tastelessness of the post but also ruined because how is a consumer able to trust your sexual heath advice if it is clear that the team is not as educated as they should be to know what is actually going on in the social media content they post.

                Cosmopolitan Magazine — sources

                Read a super short article citing that sleeping more than 9 hours a day could cause a 44% increase in mortality vs sleeping 7 hours causing only 9%. They referred to a study but there is no source(s) and not enough information to believe it. If i want to learn more about this subject than a 200 word article, I need to go out of my way. When talking about beauty or personal opinion, I don't see a need for a source. However, I expect that if they refer to a study or another article, they can also cite the source. As a casual reader that isn't subscribed, I can't even complain directly to the company.

                  Cosmopolitan Magazine — snapchat

                  I'm not sure if you guys hired someone new or if you've just taken a risk but the format you guys have set up for the Snapchat version of
                  Cosmo is awful. It takes for ever to read because once your halfway through the paragraph it disappears and you have to go through the whole spiel again. SO ANNOYING and honestly has made me stop using the forum it seems like you guys are just out of ideas and are trying to keep your jobs alive. Stop making us suffer! Come up with more content and stop making it so damn hard to read.

                    Cosmopolitan Magazine — relationship articles

                    Hi Cosmo, I watch and subscribe to your snap stories daily, I adore them! Especially your articles on relationship advice. Occasionally, some of your pieces will include gendered pronouns such as he, him, his. I was wondering if you would consider rewording your articles to have more inclusive language in the future as not everyone that's reading your articles is chasing a man. By removing the gendered pronouns it opens up your articles to so many new pathways as well as making more people feel like they're included. It might not seem pressing but to people that have to deal with society subtly telling us that it's wrong to be anything but straight is hard when you don't fit that box. It might be small but a little love goes a long way!! ❤️

                      Cosmopolitan Magazine — esa snapchat article

                      I am contacting you regarding your recent Snapchat article about Emotional Support Animals. The information in your article is incorrect and is going to lead to legal action being taken if the incorrect information isn't corrected. As per the ADA, ESAs have NO unlocks access rights. Putting the information out there that they have PA rights is going to cause problems such as arrests to those who believed the article and brought their ESA with them, lawsuits to stores that allowed ESAs in and they caused damage, lawsuits where ESAs attacked legitimate service animals, etc. ESAs are usually untrained, meaning they pull at the leash, bark, jump on people, and sometimes show aggression. There are laws in place to keep service animals and the public safe, but you are going to convince your readers that those laws are wrong. Because of false/misleading information found in your article, legitimate service dogs have had to retire from having fake or even legitimate ESAs attack them. Because of the lack of research that goes into your articles, I'm suprised the business is still running. Please educate your staff and teach them to do research before they post. You'd think professional writers would know that. I'm very disappointed and will be in contact with my lawyer. What is the Cosmopolitan Snapchat Suprvisor's phone number? Fake ESAs and Service Animals are such a huge problem. I want to be able to go out with my SD and live normally, but every time I go I have to watch our backs for fakes and ESAs. My life could actually be in danger if she missed an alert because a ESA or fake was distracting or attacking her. We've been attacked before by a ESA in a place it should not have been.

                        Cosmopolitan — snapchat article "how I became a paralympic champion"

                        There is a Snapchat article title "How I became a Paralympic Champion" featured in today's Cosmopolitan series of articles. My complaint is that the mobile article completely leaves out the Olympian's name in the article and title. The only area in the article where the name is addressed is in the photo captions which is still subtle and unclear as this Olympian's name is Oksana Masters and isn't easily recognized as a woman's name when reading the captioned photos. The article itself is greatly written but in terms of presenting it in the mobile article, I got through to the end and had to google to find out the Olympian's name.

                          Cosmopolitan — my subscription to cosmopolitan magazine way too much $

                          I have been giving both my daughter and daughter in law a cosmo subscription for many years now as one of their Christmas gifts and when I began this the magazine was reasonably priced but today I see on my bank account that there were two charges for $41.00 which is ridiculous and so I called and the first call was to your magazine and I was told I would have to call the new subscription department [protected] and they gave me some lame excuse as to why the magazine price went up and to tell you the truth I still have no clue why because I could not understand what the man was saying. Needless to say I cancelled both of the subscriptions. I intend to do further research on my account because I could have sworn that I had already been charged for the subscriptions before the holidays. Not a happy camper and do not like dealing with companies who subcontract to other countries. I like to understand when I am talking with someone in customer service.

                            Cosmopolitan — snapchat cosmopolitan

                            The latest cosmopolitan about 10 garbage excuses that micro cheaters use, I find highly sexist as it only points out about males being cheats where as women can also cheat! Men also read cosmopolitan not only women and feel victimised as they're targeted by cosmopolitan for being the "cheaters". As a women myself I still find it very sexist and there should be complete equality through genders on your articles!

                              Cosmopolitan — subscription

                              I've contacted customer service several times, to no avail. This is my 1st time ordering and paid $24 for a 2 year agreement. I've only been credited for one and was told to go to my bank for records plus faxing, although I have a screenshot of Cosmopolitan confirmation and even checked with my bank to verify that it was paid. I'm disabled, don't drive and no access to fax in my home. So now, I'm expected to pay extra for transportation and faxing, as well as subjecting myself to the hassle. Terrible business tactics and customer service. I'm extremely upset and being this is my 1st experience, I'll never order again. It isn't my fault that you can't keep your records straight, but yet I'm expected to be out even more expense and time, for your mistake.

                                Cosmopolitan — magazine issue from september 2017

                                I was reading the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, and I wasn't very impressed with one of the articles in the sex section of the magazine. It was about "Post-Trump Sex Disorder." I don't really see the point of the article since it is just someone's personal political opinion. Being a Trump supporter myself, there really is no reason why him being president would affect somebody's sexual relationships. I don't see why a magazine that is about love, fashion, and sex needs to have the writers and editors political opinions thrown in.

                                  Cosmopolitan — snapchat exercise advice

                                  You have listed a Deadlift as a great way to enhance one's glutes, however showed a young lady performing a Romanian Deadlift (the difference is enormous) with a very dangerous mistake. The video, including the advice bullets, claim having your knees locked is the correct way to complete the lift. In (almost) no lift at all should a lifter have any joints locked, especially the knees. This can lead to a very nasty injury if form is not critiqued and will most likely result in the lifter losing consciousness during the exercise. Locking your knees is not the advice I, as a personal trainer, would give any client, especially a novice. I would just cringe if anybody did that move, called it a Deadlift, and hurt themselves from improper advice that they heard from you...

                                    Cosmopolitan — snapchat 'throwing shade' cultural appropriation

                                    There was a snapchat article on the cosmopolitan feed that was addressed 'Hailee Stenfield gets real about throwing shade' of which she puts on sunglasses and 'throws shade' -if you will-. Paris Is Burning was the film created by the LGBTQ+ community that CREATED 'throwing shade'. So this is cultural appropriation because you have completely ripped off these cultural benefits and filmed a heterosexual (not part of the LGBT+ community) recreating this without any references such as 'in the tradition of Paris is burning' or 'in honour of pride'. This is outrageous and insulting! LGBTQ+ people like myself have worked tirelessly in attempt to create a world better for themselves and to have this culture completely COPIED by straight people (the causes of this discrimination) is absolutley unbelievable and is in NO WAY helping the situation.

                                        Seriously? There are gay men being thrown off high buildings in Saudi Arabia. Chechnya has vowed to kill all gay men. And this is what you're complaining about?
                                        I think you're the problem here. All you're doing is bringing the LGBT community into disrepute. All the homophobes will see this as proof of over entitlement. Focus on issues that matter, not whats going on in Cosmopolitan. You should be ashamed of yourself.
