It's a boy/girl thing
I think fundamentally it depends how you look at it.
As we all know, magazine covers are designed to be looked at 'at a glance,' predominantly by females. However, as males, we consider magazine covers not 'as a whole,' but more, 'mmm, totty. what next?' even the gayest males among us will be drawn at least to the girl's eyes before even noticing it's a girl's magazine.
So then your natural progression, as a fella, is to follow your pervy route of, 'she's pretty, can I see her tits?' and your eye follows the strap on her dress/bra, and ultimately you end up with a resounding 'no, but what's this?!' as you read the headline. It's the snakes n ladders of magazines and you just fell down a snake!
Like it or not, that's what's happening, all in a split second - and that's why this post exists.
Lots of love,
