Women have had Cosmo for years. It's great that someone finally figured out that men want a magazine that they don't have to buy in a plain brown wrapper. The great hook for this magazine is that it gets the famous actresses that we've always wanted to see in sexy outfits. The articles are funny, if sometimes a little lame. It really caters to the basic male.
Not as hot as I expected
Well, I'd say the magazine covers a lot of things that men cares about and provide some kind of life style. But I think it lose focus and make it doesn't standout of other men magazines.
A new staple in men's magazines
I have been reading Maxim for years now. It's without a doubt the new Playboy. With it's on the edge humor,sexy pics and great new product reviews, it's a must have for guys.
Every month they bring incredible women to eht brink of nudity. Maxim has the ability to make an actress nude in print the way Barbra Walters can make them cry on TV.
The only downside I see to Maxim is that it's not as great as it once was. They have strayed from the "every guy is cool" approach to a more fashion aware style. But overall, a man needs Beer,The Man Show, Drew Carey and Maxim!
I Know Its Hard, But Look Past The Babe On The Cover
I look forward to seeing my Maxim magazine in my mailbox each month. The articles in the magazine are hilarious and the pictorials are fantastic. Its a wonderful thing to have along on a long road trip or a boring wait in an airport terminal.
The articles range from silly "How To" articles about making liquor in prison to well-researched journalistic gems about terrorism or Saddam Hussein's sons. This magazine doesn't disappoint.
If I had to come up with a negatice aspect for Maxim, I'd have to say that there are a few too many advertisements with men in their underwear for my taste. It seems as though lately, there is a lot more advertising but the quality of the articles and pictorials has remained consistent so its really not that important.
Needless to say, my wife wasn't very happy when the first issue arrived but now she's a regular reader. I think that speaks more about this magazine than anything else.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE PICTURES
This magazine really is about the pictures...the articles have no real significance...but is that the point?
Maxim 2 year subscription
Maxim is my favorite magazine but they have gotten a lot smaller over the past couple months. I noticed this change because I keep all of the issues and they have been getting smaller and smaller. But there are still pictures of super sexy women, funny articles, and tech stuff.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Great magazine. The chicks are hot and the articles are good too!
pros and cons
I've been a subscriber for several years now. I was trying to decide between maxim and stuff. I chose maxim because the info is very random and entertaining (i.e. how to do doughnuts in your car, ect.) They do have some photos of actors and such, but many were of people from other countries and just other pretty girls you may have never heard of... I would suggest this magazine.
magazine review
This is a gift for my husband. He likes the magazine, I buy it for him. I'm a good wife...lol
MAX-EM
JOKES, SEX, GIRLS, CLOTHES, GADGETS... if your a man, Maxim is for YOU...I'm only 17 and I have had a subscription since i was 16, and let's just say Maxim is extreamly hilarious and informative...
Stuff magazine may get some hotter girls (such as Jennifer Lopez), and their paper may be more expensive in quality as opposed to Maxim's but Maxim is not bad...
The girls are great and the context of the magazine is excellent as opposed to the thin, female semi nude pics and fluff contents of other men mags...
I will soon be in college and I will continue reading Maxim, it's a great magazine...I have to get my address changed once I find out my dorm room...(haha)
