Reviews For Maxim Magazine

As a secondhand Maxim reader (various male coworkers and friends always have it around), I have found Maxim to be nothing short of hilarious in each and every issue. If you want to kill a few hours and laugh a lot, this is the magazine for you. Yes, there are scantily clad women in it, but so what? You see the same nudity in most women's fashion magazines-especailly in the ads. This magazine is a great gift for the men in your life.

I love maxim, as a women not only do the articles give your man tips on how to treat you (all of which are usually dead on) it has sweet jokes, stories and the women are totally curve. (which is a nice change from Vouge)
This magazine rocks and I recommend all us women go out there and get it for our honeys!

Maxim is not so overt like the "other" men's magazines. Actually, there is much more to this magazine than meets the eye. The articles really are very good, for the most part. It is especialy for men - as the articles only cover things that men would find interesting. Examples are stories of the Mafia and how to Kick a Field Goal. So, once you look at the cover girl spread - which is always very tastefully done - you actually have a reason to READ the artcles inside. Highly recommended and you won't get into arguments with the wife over this one...that much.

I have had a subscription to this magazine starting from it's first issue and have always found it to be hilariously well written and of top quality. Whenever I get an issue I read it from cover to cover and would strongly recomend to everyone who is looking for a fun informative magazine.

It has everthing playboy dosent'. One, stroies that really interest men, beautiful women who you have probably seen on tv, movies, or in music. And although Playboy and penthouse has their women naked, maxim lets you imagine, wondering whats under that bra and panty. Plus not to mention articles that tell you how to do things that you always wanted to know how to do. hey even good advice on sex, believe me! you want gadgets, well maxim has them all, even ones you can afford unlike the ones in playboy. Plus they have interviews with real men like Dennis Hopper, Jack Black, Billy Bob Thorten, need I say more.
TWO WORDS: BUY IT!!

Maxim is one of the best magazines I've come across in a long time. For those who only read the first few lines of each review before moving on, I'll sum up my comments by saying that it's the best magazine for guys in a long while, combining girls, investigative journalism, humour, advice, and useless trivia. It's a blast to read.

No proper review of Maxim can go without mentioning the girls that grace it's pages each month. What's great about Maxim is that not only are all of the girls extremely beautiful, they are also up-and-coming personalities in their field, whether it be modelings, movies, or television. Stars like Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, and Kristen Dunst have increased in popularity after the exposure generated by their Maxim photo-shoots. Maxim is definitely the magazine to read to see who will be Hollywood's next top star.

The articles in Maxim may appear to be fluff compared to other magazines, but they're actually informative in all the right places. The reader just has to dig a little deeper (Maxim lets readers use their analytical skills!), and they'll find things that other publications would never say. Learn about the most daring prison escapes ever attempted, a briefcase that carries the codes for nuclear armaegeddon, and much more. Each issue also has a bunch of great monthly standbys: The jokes, the "caption this!" section, Hiroki's attempt at rating different products, and the lowdown on the newest things pouring out of the entertainment industry. Maxim has it all.

For all you literary scholars, Maxim's greatest asset is that it's a study in contrasts. Here is a magazine that pokes fun of the American way of life, yet has shown its true patriotism in the past few months. It gives readers advice on attracting women, though the underlying message is always to please the fairer sex. There are reviews and advertisments for gadgets and toys that would please both the sophisticated man and the coach potato slob. Every man has a side of him that wants to be suave and sophisticated, yet lazy and politically-incorrect, while remaining sensitive and with heart. Maxim balances the tone of its articles nicely, and caters to all three personalities very well. And who says males aren't complex creatures?

My only complaint about Maxim is that a good third of it is pure advertisments, including the fashion section, which is disguised as another article. But after careful considering, I've decided that it's too minor a complaint to dock any stars.

So go ahead and 'Maxim'ize your life (I love that pun). You'll be glad you did.

This magazine makes a great gift for any adult males in your life. I gave it to my hubby for Christmas, and he enjoys both the articles and the pictorials. It is not quite as graphic as some of the other men's magazines, but it still has lots of how-to articles, saucy pics, and potty humor. It was a great value & a great gift. I will continue to recommend it to others for the men in their lives.

Maxim is maybe the best monthly publication period.
It is a "Men's Magazine" that is so unabashedly masculine it borders on parady, which brings me to next point which is the extreme wit of all editor's and writers on the staff make me laugh out loud at least twice an issue. Maxim's appeal as seen by number of female reader's and reviewers crosses gender borders. A highly entertaining read with honest, yet funny reviews, interesting interviews, insightful, articulate articles, jokes, "stuff" and much more. It is in short a magazine I would love to write for one day, as the contributers' writing makes it obvious they really enjoy their jobs one more reason to like reading it. One more thing the techniques described for sexual losers to satisfy a woman works!:)

Have had a subscription for about 2 years now & it always contains many of my favorite things: Beer, Women, Gadgets & Sports. The articles are usually funny and very entertaining. And oddly enough, most women I know also enjoy this magazine (even though it is hailed as a "Men's Magazine"). In college (a few short months ago...) we'd keep a stack of maxims on the coffee table and 9 times out of 10 when girls came over they would pick them up and start reading. The only weak part I see in the magazine are the Book and Music reviews (they are usually WAY off on these...). But the Movies reviews are extremely amusing because they slam all movies equally.

Hello I am a women and I would just like to say this magazine is rockin, not only does it appeal to men, but whenever I am in the airport or traveling I pack along Maxim, this magazine is packed with funny antidotes and great things to read about the opposite sex... Plus wouldn't you want to know what your man is reading anyway? I know I do. I love this magazine I am Hooked!
