->''"Fun Fearless Female"''
-->-- '''{{Tagline}}'''

An international magazine for women, focusing on sex, relationships, health, careers, self-improvement, women's issues, celebrities, fashion and beauty. It was first published in 1886 in the United States as a family magazine and evolved from that; when Helen Gurley Brown become its chief editor in 1965, she remodeled it into what it is today.

Its related blogs are generally anonymous and rather individualistic, focusing on first-hand experiences of all of the topics listed above — so "Cosmo" has a bit of notoriety around the Web, due to inaccurate speculations about the male psyche and the dreaded DoubleStandard of the bloggers at times. That's not to say that ''all'' of the blogs are like that; some (like the one with S and D) can be rather enjoyable to read, due to the writers' witty humor and avoidance of any DoubleStandard.

At the same time, don't take it ''too'' seriously.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Just ''try'' finding an issue that doesn't mention sex ''somewhere'' on the front cover.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The magazine's origin in a previous century addressing the social preoccupations of that century's women.
* OneWordTitle: "Cosmopolitan" is just one word and is its title.
* SpearCounterpart: Just as Cosmopolitan is aimed at women, there are magazines that can be considered its mirror image aimed at men, such as ''Magazine/{{Loaded}}''.
