Check one out at the news stand before purchasing the subscription. Maxim is not as good as it use to be.
Used to Love this Magazine
But it has just turned to pure crap. I have been a subscriber since day one and then all of a sudden it got sooo thin. There is not much in it at all anymore. A few pictures of the scantily clad along with some of the dumbest questions answered to go along with them. Its like it has been redesigned to appeal to an eighth grader. Maxim has totally left its reader base behind. Wont be long until they go away at this rate. After years and years I wont be renewing. Sad
I can feel myself getting dumber while reading this magazine
If you are subscribing to this magazine solely to look at beautiful women, then subscribe. Otherwise, I would not recommend Maxim, go for GQ or Esquire instead. The magazine contains a lot of gossip, and low brow articles. I can feel myself getting dumber while reading this magazine.
Pros - Cheap
Cons - Dumbed down - Lacks depth, superficial
a 50's Magazine
When I was offered this mag for practically nothing, I figured I'd give it a shot- pretty girls and all...BUT, there's nothing that I can say that's positive about this magazine; it's awful, like a 50's men's mag.
magazine full of ads
maxim used to be one of the greatest magazine ever. now its just full of ads. hardly worth the price, even at 5 dollars a year. every other page is an advestisment. very disappointed.
Should now be a 0 star
I loved Maxim years ago, i even liked Stuff, which had pretty much no information in it. Maxim might as well be Men's Journal now. Crap! No longer the fun mag it once was. No longer am I ammused. Where did the Jokes go, where are the hot chicks, what's up with all the stupid suits??? Thier is no longer any meaningful content, maybe if I was 60 it would work! I'm mad that I have to wait 8 more months for the magazine to stop showing up!
If you've read one, you've read em' all.
The only part of Maxim magizines that seem to change each month are the women on the covers. Maxim should be awarded for being a top selling magizine while writing the same articles in each monthly issue. Articls tend to be about Women, beer, gagdets, and other semi-useless and fully useless crap. Some peices become blatently offensive, like in one article, Maxim was examining the things we gave Japan and the things Japan gave us. Japan has given us plenty of electronics and cool things for cheap, while Maixim proudly proclaims that we (america) gave Japan two nuclear bombs. Very clever stuff, congrats Maxim.
The Most Useless Magazine Ever
Well there is eye candy on the cover but that's about all there is to it. It's Cosmo for twenty-something metrosexuals. Can I give it a -5 stars? I got a free 1 year subscription on a lark 2 years ago and it's still coming. I moved without telling them and they tracked me down. It's like a bad cold, it just won't go away! :(
A waste of paper
I suppose that if you're about 15 and are lucky to have some spending money and you like images of women that are so heavily airbrushed that they look like cartoons, you might like Maxim. If you're beyond adolescence, I'd recommend Men's Journal and Esquire.
Useless Junk
Useless, sensationalist articles reminiscent of some Women's magazines. I went through a recent copy from cover to cover and found little of interest or practicial use.
Part MAD, part Tiger Beat, with a dash of WWF digest to boot.
