This is all IMO, of course. I agree that what is "too young" depends on the personal circumstances ~ but I still think that women, in general, try to form permanent relationships "too young," which could be 13, or 15, or 17. I think women, in general, have a hard-wired tendency to try to turn every relationship into a permanent relationship, or at least scan the men and boys in their social sphere on the basis of whether he is "the one." Cosmo is just one magazine among many that feeds into that. It seems to me that if you've formed a healthy, stable relationship at a young age, you don't need Cosmo. It's really aimed at somewhat older women. My father's second wife, whose husband was killed in a plane crash, read Cosmo, and I found a bunch of old issues in storage after she married my father. I used to read it, too, and in retrospect, I think it's really warped. The mind-set is terribly materialistic and self-centered. Edit: maybe I am just worried about young hussies trying to snag my sons, but I really formulated this theory after observing the clowns my nieces have dated, which reminded me, painfully, of the various clowns I dated, myself. Yikes. As well as the promising young men who had more important things to do than hang out with me ALL the time, like study, work, explore, practice musical instruments, etc.
