I dont even know where to start with this can of worms; 1st observation is that its love oriented rather than one night stands... what would be the proper term?
Love rather than 1 night stands? I think I'd call it "lonely people".
While the application is less predatory, it's a similar mental approach, which is "don't be yourself and expect the sex-of-interest to really like you, you have to play head games and trick them into wanting you".
You can find this exact same approach in women's magazines and self-help books going at least back to the 1940's; it basically feeds into women's insecurities and tells them that they need to tailor everything from their makeup to their interests to appeal to a man's sensibilities.
Even before reading this thread, I was going to say "Cosmo magazine dating tips". Also it's breakup revenge tips.
I don't often consider people outside of certain political magazines to be literally psychopaths, but I'm willing to make an exception for Cosmopolitan.

Cosmopolitan is so absolutely batshit insane that it could be used as a guide for how not to behave.

It's one of those rare exceptions to to the rule that reversed stupidity is not intelligence.
If Cosmo writers said the sky was blue, I'd ask for a second opinion.

And you'd be wise for doing so, because the sky is actually lavender.
(for a given value of "is")
I am actually fairly certain that Cosmo is targeted toward a very specific demographic, which is wealthy young urban sociopaths.

God i read this and immediately thought of what i would tell my hypothetical future daughter who reads Cosmo.
Me: Look, sweetie i saw this under your bed and i think there's some things we need to talk about.
Future Daughter:What? it's just a fashion magazine.
Me: Yes, but i'm worried about what would happen if you followed any of these sex tips.
FD: Dad, i know about using protection.
Me: no, i mean that if you ever.....*looks at article* "shake your man's testicles like a pair of gambing dice" HE WILL LEAVE YOU.
FD: But the magazine says it drives guys wild!
Me: If by wild you mean filled with a deep passionate rage, then yea, it'll totally do that.
FD: You mean they don't like it?
Me: I mean they hate it. If there is one thing men of all colors and creeds hate and fear, it's having their privates abused.
FD: Then why would they put that in there?
Me: To ruin your life, sweetie. The fashion magazines are doing their level best to try and ruin every chance of happiness you'll have from now until menopause and the sooner you learn that their advice is the spite filled venom of sociopaths who resent your ability to love, the happier you'll be.
FD: Thanks dad!
Me: you're welcome, hun. Now here's twenty bucks. Go see a movie. Your mother and I are going to try all of these tips in reverse and see if it gets us anywhere.
Personally, I like how suspicious signs that your boyfriend is cheating on you, like "being happy" or "taking an interest in your life" means you should sleep with his best friend in order to get revenge. I mean, it just makes sense.
It's Cosmo Logic, in which taking the single most destructive possible course of action in your relationship will keep you one step ahead of the enemy, who in this case is your boyfriend.
Ok I tried to read the first one but had to back out when I saw the add "never eat these 5 foods and lose a bit of belly fat every day" and a giant banana. The arrow to find out more simply said "never eat".

I'd be more like "love yourself and breathe deeply to reduce overall cortisol, eat moderately of fresh, unprocessed foods and much water, and work up a serious sweat at least 2-3 times a day.. by whatever means most pleases you."
If that doesn't help then put down the magazine and see a dietician.

2-3 times a day seems like a bit much, honestly. But otherwise, yeah.
The thing is, doing things the hard way is hard. So people are always looking for shortcuts and, essentially, for magic. Something they can do superstitiously that will somehow give them the results they desire without actually doing the work that would get them there.

Yeah. It's human nature to favor the easy road. Problem is that the easy road is often mislabeled by opportunists counting on that. I've found that the "hard" way is often easier in the end. Less folk on it to distract you and the ability to take it eventually does come easily.

Yep. Plus if you just start doing it, it becomes part of your routine, and soon it's second nature- something you just do as naturally as brushing your teeth before bed.

It's Cosmo Logic, in which taking the single most destructive possible course of action in your relationship will keep you one step ahead of the enemy, who in this case is your boyfriend.
DING.
For what it's worth, I have never seen Cosmo in a happy home.
DEATH MATCH: ROMANCE! TWO WILL ENTER, ONLY ONE WILL LEAVE!
I imagine this being a situation in which if she wins, she gets to harvest his gonads and store them under her mantle for future fertilizations, and will feast upon his corpse to feed her growing baby. If he wins, he tears the infant out of her abdomen and learns how to lactate.
:eek: It occurs to me that nature has used these methods and probably much more that I am blissfully unaware of in the gentle dance of procreation. Humans are getting off light.. mostly.

Ah yes True Facts!
I had not yet seen the snail and I think maybe I did see angler fish. . But ducks I remember. It really messed with me when some of my more terrible friends showed me that.
I started looking into their symbolism in that light
This
http://spirit-animals.com/duck/
QuoteIf Duck has come into your Dream;
To see Ducks flying in your dream signifies your spiritual freedom. They are your connections between the spiritual and the physical worlds. You have always got a choice about how you choose to see the world around you. By staying in the present moment you can find peace. To see a Duck swimming is your connection with the unconscious and emotional body. They are reminding you that by allowing yourself to be vulnerable emotionally – you are freed to move on with your life. You have the ability to blend and adapt to different situations.
And this
http://www.witchipedia.com/beast:duck
QuoteDuck knows that family and a healthy social life are important. She is especially devoted to her children and is an intuitive mother. She also knows that people change and that people do things for their own reasons and doesn't take things personally. He feels his emotions deeply but he does not let them overwhelm him. Like the water he swims through, he rides them, dives deep into them when appropriate and walks away when the current is too strong. Duck's emotions and devotion is constant, but he doesn't wallow in them, except for fun. Duck is, however, devastated by loss. His devotion is steady even when the object of his devotion has gone and this can destroy him if he isn't careful.
Go from banal to delightfully horrormirthy... they have no idea of the true nature of the beast.
This however
http://www.native-languages.org/legends-duck.htm
was worth the searching, sadly several links I tested were 404.
One story stood out and was an active link.
http://www.weeklystorybook.com/weeklystorybook/2010/01/how-the-duckpeople-got-their-fine-clothes.html
QuoteOn a lake Old Man saw the Duck-people getting ready to go away, and at that time they all looked alike; that is, they all wore the same colored clothes.
Sorry if that was a lot but you brought em up, I'm still trying to cope.
In my own worldview God made ducks, snails, koalas, ebola, and, perhaps most terribly, humans. What the fuck does that say about the great I Am exactly?
Equally terrible things.

Hm... found this article off the one posted. It's that we may actually be worse than a species with flesh burrowing sperm.

No need but that's VERY interesting. If you only get one shot at genetic destiny best to just get all samurai and die trying it would seem.
The bit about the seasonal food supply and the females timing things ultimately producing the suicidal behavior... somehow seems fitting.
