Reviews For Maxim Magazine

I was recently reading a review about the Magazine MAXIM and the critic bashed it, well I have to stand up for the greatest magazine known to man. Where else can you find a magazine that caters to men's needs and wants. Besides the pictures of beautiful women, you can also read articles about sex, sports, beer, gadgets, clothes and fitness.

Of course I am a bit bias towards this magazine since I am a guy, but I work with a bunch of women who love to read the magazine. They like to read the amusing articles about sex, like the one article that had its own "Sex Olympics." Maxim is just trying to help spice up the sex life for you dull people out there. Or maybe you don't have a problem with your sex life, but you hate Canada like every other red blooded American. Well Maxim has the perfect article for you. Better yet, lets say you are a college student that is tired of learning about history, well Maxim tells you how America really became such a great country in its July 2000 issue.

No matter what you like about the magazine there is no way you can say it is filled with garbage. Maxim is every man's dream. Some people say that PLAYBOY is better, but thats just because they are horny men that want to see naked pictures of women. If you are looking for a magazine with class, style and humor then MAXIM is the right one for you.

Ok, Ok...I know all you women activists aren't exactly going to give me a metal for this review but here it goes:

Maxim Magazine is clearly intended for a male audience but I really enjoy it. And if you were wondering: no, Im not a lesbian (not that there's anything wrong with it)

Maxim is one of the most innovative and interesting magazines out there for men and women alike. It never takes itself too seriously, which is why its so great.

For example, they have a great column on how to "pretend" to be something your not: i.e. astronaut, international spy ...they have a column titled "it came from the third grade" which shows childish practical jokes you can play on your friends ... another great feature is their dumb ass questions where it once was asked "when i smell a fart am I actually breathing in tiny particles of sh**?"

Even some of the ads are interesting!

So ladies: if you have a sense of humor and are will to put aside your pretentiousness and modernism...MAXIM is a great read (just turn the page when you see a half naked <insert name of barely 21 year old celebrity here>)

I don't read a lot of magazines, but this one is the bomb. Maxim offers everything a guy wants and needs. The articles are in depth, and offer advice on new products, your love life, clothing, meeting women, fitness, and sex. And finaly a magazine, that when it gives opinions, it's not afraid to say what it thinks, and stick it to the man. It's opinions are ruthless, not sparing anyone's feelings, and not caring if someone disagrees with them. It is written in a very manly style, and after all it is a mens magazine, so it should be written like a man thinks. Plus there are tons of small little articles on interesting, yet otherwise unimportant facts, which is awesome. I saw a picture of an anaconda who swallowed a man in one issue, and learned about the passage into manhood of some peruvian indian tribe in another. Not necessarily news breaking stuff, but hey, it makes for great conversations at the office.Did I mention all of the half naked women throughtout the magazine. Lots and lots of half naked women everywhere you look. I higly recommend this magazine to all men, but if you don't trust my advice, just go look at the cover for january 2000, with Shannon Elizabeth on it. If you don't instantly become a subscriber, then you must be dead.

Remember a time when Details magazine was the raciest magazine talking about sex, love, fashion, music, and all things in between just the way you liked it. The way your grandparents wouldn't. Well your days of wanting something like that again are over. Maxim has now set a trend for itself.
Reading Maxim as a female at first was very intimidating. All the sexy pictures of women made me a bit self-conscious. But as I began to read I loved the magazine. What they write about women isn't all lies just to make a sap go out and try to "tickle his pickle." Most of it is true. And after I saw the issue with Melisa Joan Hart (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) I realized that they could make any girl look sexy so the pictures didn't bother me at all anymore. In fact after getting over my self-conscious bit some of them even got me aroused.
All in all the magazine has great content about making money, sex, movies/music/etc, fashion, and great pictures as well. Show me someone that doesn't approve or love Maxim and I will show you a stupid human that can't appreciate a good thing when it's right in front of their face!
And any woman that says Maxim depreciates the woman obviously has not read the magazine at all. Maxim is just showing the beauty of a woman the way that most people really want to see it. And the articles, most of them, speak for themselves in making women respected. The ones that don't are all in good fun and humor!
So pick up Maxim if, at one point in time, Details was exciting to you and you are tired of the boring GQ magazine. I promise you will love it!

Do you enjoy laughing till it hurts? Well the first time I read Maxim that is exactly what I did, it was over an article called "What If Men Really Did Rule The World?" and it was quite possibly the funniest thing I have read in my life. If you are a man then you will definitely love Maxim. If you are a woman then you have a chance to see part of how a guys mind works. You will laugh, you will cry, you will read it over and over, and you will stare at the women contained in the pages of this magazine. This magazine is worth it's weight in gold, but luckily it costs much less than that. The magazine has everything from a toy chest of featured products that men want (such as toy remote control tanks or flamethrowers) and reviews of movies, music, and books (with Maxim's trademark humor and sarcasm included). Their slogan says everything about the magazine, "The Best Thing That Happened To Men Since Women". Do yourself a favor and pick this magazine up at your local newsstand today.

Before I married my wife, I was an avid Playboy reader--No really, I did read the articles. Well, needless to say the marriage put an end to my article reading in playboy. I searched and searched for another magazine that was remotely the same as playboy (but with clothed people) there was nothing.

One day out of the blue I happened to be watching the Regis and Kathie Lee show with my wife, and Regis started talking about this great new magazine for men.

I tried it, and guess what?!?! To my amazement I enjoyed it. This magazine has great articles, reviews new items. And the best part is my wife actually let it through the front door! In fact, she even likes to read it. So much that I have to fight her for the new issue. Though it hasn't made it to the coffee table yet, I am still working on her.

Another magazine, I am thinking of trying is Stuff, it is from the makers of Maxim. Once I find it in our town, I will review it.

Warning, this is not a magazine for "sensitive 90's men". This is a magazine for men who like beer, women, sports and cars (real men :). How can you go wrong with articles like "One night stand escape strategies", "How to manage two girlfriends at once" and "How to get through your workday with a hangover". I mean these are articles that most men can really use. I love this magazine; it's a little tongue in cheek, but has some good facts at the same time.
Oh, I guess I forgot to mention the scantily clad women. It has those too. Maxim is actually quite similar to playboy. I'd give playboy the edge on pictures and maxim the edge on articles.
Maxim is for the real man in all of us.

I first bought Maxim magazine for my husband to read when he was going away to play fastball. However before I gave him the magazine I decided to glance through it first. Well lets just say that the magazine never made it on his trip. Each month either my husband or I will pick up the latest copy of Maxim and bring it home to read.

I think the articles are great, they make me laugh. The jokes are great, the stories are interesting and some of them are very informative. My husband's even learnt a few good things from Maxim (more women should buy it for their men).

Maxim is not serious reading, it's relaxed enjoyable reading, that a couple can actually share. It's nice for a women to see how men think and and what they think we (as women) expect and enjoy.

The pictures of the girls really don't bother me, you would have to be blind and very jealous not to think that the women pictured in Maxim are not beautiful and the pictures are sexy but tastefully done.

Maxim has quite a few adds, however at least the adds are very creative and not quite as boring as most of the adds in womens magazines, I actually enjoy some of them.

I think more women should pick up this magazine and get in touch with their masculine side and find out what men are up to.

For anyone 18 to 60+. This is the magazine to read. Humor,Ignorance,Reviews,Fashions,Trends,and Oddities,are all in here.I read mine cover to cover as soon as it arrives,then all my friends devour it. So much so that I had to buy them all subscriptions for Christmas. This is a must read magazine! To keep your attention at's its peak, every month they offer a contest "Beat this Caption" with some of the most outrageous photos you'll ever see, information about cool web sites, and most important-The Woman's View- what a woman wants and thinks.Their regular features include a so-so joke department(you decide),Ballsy Letter Department( they even reply to them?), and the "Circus Maximus" which is a collection of the odd,the ridiculous and the must-know trivia.Any good review of this mag could never leave out the ever so tasteful photos of the beautiful women they put between the covers. No T&A, but just enough to make you happy.I highly recommend this magazine for one and all.

Late in the evening, have you ever watched Cinemax or more commonly referred to as Skinamax? Well it's a lot like reading Maxim magazine. Simply put - Maxim is Soft Porn and it's GREAT!

Each month we get a hot looking famous female on the cover. Inside we get a great pictorial of ladies in skimpy attire. Along with that you get short to the point articles about the important guy topics. Beer, sex, BBQ tips, Sports, and gadgets. There are no long articles that make you loose interest. It's all cut up into little blurbs and short to the point articles.

A little tip = READ the "Letters to the Editor" section. That stuff is great. The readers that write in supply some great stories and the commentary back from the Maxim staff is hilarious.

Go pick it up on the newsstand or buck up and get the subscription. It's fairly cheap for a year. I think it's like 12 bucks or something like that. I look forward to this magazine more then my Playboy.
