Pleasing Men... What about the Women?

I have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures is each month I scope out the check out aisle to find the latest Cosmo. I immediately take it home and have the magazine read cover to cover that day. This month as I am reading it my brain starts ticking and I realize some thing. With a combination of watching "He Is Just Not That Into You" and reading this magazine I found the problem. We are constantly surrounded by advice on how to make a man happy. There is a monthly article on how to make sure he has the best weekend and what us as females can do. From when he gets home from work on Friday to the Sunday game, how to assure he is happy. I personally read these articles just because they happen to read the magazine they are in and some out there personally seek out such advice. I won't deny when reading these if there is a tip in there I happen to like I will keep it as a mental note. The problem is not that we are constantly given advice on how to please a man though. The problem is where are the articles to please us? Of course I am not specifically talking sexually, actually I am not talking that what so ever. I am just talking about the articles such as: "The Six Worst Things You Can Say to a Guy", "8 Things guys Notice About You Instantly", and "Tap in to Your Guy's Weekend Brain." This are just a few, but constantly we are trying to change a quirk, look better, a simply please him. Why is that? Why do we try hard when we are the only ones going out reading that advice? I have read "guy magazines" before and they are made up of cars, sports, and swimsuits. Never have I seen any thing like "What drives your Woman Crazy" or "How to Make her Day Better." So why are females forced this information and given the position of pleasing the other? When is our turn? I would like to see the tables turned and see the men of the world reading these articles and being the one in the relationship making sure what they are doing is the best they could/should being doing to make us women happy.
