I don't know what I was thinking. I thought Maxim was more like a "Men's issues/health/style/etc." type magazine. It's soft porn, mostly. The articles are uninteresting and poorly written. In fact, it feels a lot like reading a 15 year old boy's school homework, if he could write with no inhibitions nor worry of getting in trouble for honesty. I would know, I'm a teacher, and this magazine has the sophistication level of just that, a 15 year old boy.
Maxim has Fallen so Far!
I have been a subscriber for 10 years. I will not renew. The magazine has changed completely. It is all filler and puff pieces. No interesting articles. Stick to Playboy for those. I think their staff truly believes in their own hype.
Get this ... mag off the shelves please!
Maxim started out as a great British mix of babes and guy reading style mag, with nice covers, interesting women featured, with nice photography and humorous articles. Since it split into two versions (US & UK), the US one went completely downhill. Less of a mag (but bigger than the UK because of so many ads) the photography of this magazine has to be just about the worst of any of the men's magazines on the shelf. Just look closely at any cover on the shelf. The women do not look human, they look like animation. WAY TOO MUCH AIRBRUSHING IN PHOTOSHOP guys. I love looking at women, but real photos please, not digital nightmares. An awful looking mag.
MAXIM
Not the maxim i remember from a few years ago, this was a very slim issue without even one redeeming value. sorry i subscribed to it again.
gone downhill
When Maxim first came out it was funny, intelligent, on the edge, and had hot chicks.
Now it is stupidly lame, grasping for laughs, and falling behind the competition. It's only saving grace is that they have kept their standards for the women in the magazine.
Save your money and look elsewhere
A publication for a questionable target audience
Loved this magazine during my college days, but then I grew up. Now I am no longer entertained by half-dressed women, dozens of ads or fashion advice.
Used to be Good, Now it's just like flipping through a catalog
This magazine used to be good, but now it's like flipping through a catalog. Even with the cheap subscription, I did not renew.
Do not get this if you care what it looks like.
For one they are behind a month. Two they don't even send in in anything so the magazine is crumpled. Three they don't post a label on it, it is on the actual magazine. Get it from the actual site or find it in stores. Sucks from here.
Unimpressed
This magazine was extremely disappointing. It'a a mish mosh of junkie, useless information, no substance to it, similar to Esquire magazine. I felt like it was written for a teenager and not adults. Articles are not good. Don't even look forward to getting it each month and would only take the time to read it if I had nothing to do. It's inexpensive but save your money and the trees.
Only got 3 issues!!!!
I ordered a 1 year subscription but only got the first 3 issues!! and now they stopped coming.
