So I was grocery shopping in Giant Eagle last night and I was walking past where all the books are and there was a big turny rack thing with all the cheap paperback romance novels on it, and I noticed...nine out of every ten of them had pictures of a shirtless sweaty muscular dude on them. Some of them almost looked pornographic even.

I don't understand...is this a ploy to market toward women? Does it work? Why are there random sweaty muscular men on the front of romance novels?

Seriously, this is my biggest question in life right now. Tell me.
