As some of my long term readers know, I read Cosmo. Frankly, it’s some of the most inadvertently hilarious literature out there. And also, I rub the perfume samples on my extra pillow and pretend like I have a girlfriend who just left for work (my imaginary girl is the breadwinner in this relationship, my fantasies don’t fool around).

In the December 2010 issue…wait…what? Yes. December. Get a calender, Cosmo! What do you think you are, an auto manufacturer? Anyways, in the December issue there is a list of answers to 75 common questions girls want to know about guys, each answered with 20 words or less.

For shits and giggles, I’ve decided to tackle the same questions. I won’t provide Cosmo’s answers, because frankly, I don’t really want to type that stuff, though usually their short answers tend to be pretty decent, batting around .600.

1. Do guys notice if you put on 5 or 10 pounds?

Who the fuck is Usher?

The dude who was just there before us.

Gray’s Papaya and dollar beers and he’s still not paying? Dump that loser.

No. You’re a woman, something’s always wrong. And you’re a shitty liar.
