Glamour Says The Darndest Things: January Edition

It’s extremely fitting that the first official Glamour issue of 2012 (and the last one to hit newsstands in 2011) features the Kardashian sisters. Could they have been any more overexposed this year? The answer is probably yes, but I must admit that the Kardashian ladies are my not-so-secret, not-so-guilty pleasure. I am loving this vintage photo of the sisters. Khloe’s hair is out of this world, and it’s nice to see all of them look refreshingly silly and vibrant.
This month’s issue had even less substance than usual, which I’m totally cool with. Sometimes all you need in life is photos of pretty clothes and some interesting insight into what guys consider their dating deal breakers…

Glamour says: She won’t try new things.
Jasmine says: Meh, 90 percent of everything kind of sucks anyway. Nothing wrong with finding something awesome and clinging to it for dear life.

Glamour says: She’s judge-y.
Jasmine says: I’ve noticed when guys say this, they usually mean they don’t want a girl who has different and/or strong opinions.  Booooring.

Glamour says: She hates sports.
Jasmine says: Why is it so important to watch sports with the woman you’re dating? Take it as an opportunity for some alone time/bro-bonding time.

Glamour says: She’s not up on the news
Jasmine: Okay, this one I completely agree with. If you don’t know what a Newt Gingrich is, I don’t even want to know you.

Glamour says: Movie references go flying over her head.
Jasmine says: I want to send a memo to everyone on this: pop culture references do not in and of themselves make you funnier, wittier, or more cultured than anyone else. Get over yourself.

    I just don't get why they keep making covers for doing nothing. NOTHING! Sorry, just a little venting.

    Thank you SO much for that last sentence! Pop culture snobs and people who judge you based on the obscurity of the artists in your iTunes collection really bug me.

    So, judging by what was submitted by these men, they just basically want someone who is just like them?now that's a major deal breaker. I cannot be with some that is too similar to me. I can understand they wanting a girl who is up to date with the news, but someone who do not have their own opinions and who do not like their same sports? That's just silly!

    Also the movie references; I'm very into foreign and indie films, so many of the films most guys quote are films I haven't watched or I just don't care about.

    Trying new things? what type of things? that is a very open question/answer.

    Kardashian article wasn't even interesting. I want actual dirt on the faux-marriage! Besides that the movie reference thing isn't too fair. I hate half the weird movies my bf watches and he's okay with that!

    I admire her so much too! I wish I could just spend a day with her and get in on all of her tips and trkics! She’s so cool! My youth minister second shoots with his wife! It is really cool!
