Why would anyone ever criticize maxim magazine? I mean in one magazine you have articles on sex, new gadgets, clothes, and even beer. This is my favorite magazine I cannot say enough good things about it. The girls they interview are amazingly drop dead gorgeous and the things they discuss are so funny thank God I am usually on the toilet. Every time my friends stop by they fight over who is going to read the latest issue. If my friend Rob ever heard anybody put down Maxim he would probably cry, no he'd probably kill you, and then cry. See whenever Rob leaves my house I have to search for my latest issue. But I usually find it in the bathroom or in the closet. It's that good. I'd rather give my left foot than to give up reading maxim for a month.

One day I was just browsing by the news stand and there it was. An issue of Maxim with a very familiar and lovely lady gracing the cover (Jennifer Love Hewitt). It was an instant buy and the first Maxim I'd ever read since the magazines debut about two years ago.
Well here's the low down.
Not only does the magazine contain everything a guy would want to read about, it's very funny and has eye candy throughout the entire magazine(women). Every month a new lady (someone very sexy and famous) gets half naked and poses for the Maxim camera, and every month a different girl gets interviewed. (Which is also very funny and most time interesting).
Besides the fact that Maxim has it's claim to fame girl of the month. It contains many reviews on products only guys would be interested in.
It has an extensive review on cars, new models coming out, and usually what all it features.
It also reviews movies, music, and even video games.
Another great aspect of Maxim is it's articles on dating, relationship advice, and getting your rap down so any girl will want you. It's tips on the social scene are top notch and very very informative (also from reliable sources). Not only that, they really work!

When women see a Maxim magazine, they automatically think that it is for perverts and sexist pigs. While it does show women in skimpy outfits, and have jokes of questionable morality, it is no worse than Redbook or any other woman's magazine. In fact, my girlfriend thought it was actually better than those magazines because it didn't take itself seriously. It makes fun of itself and its staff constantly. Personally, i think the best feature of the magazine is the comparision of similar products. They buy about 5 similar items and put them through a series of brutal tests to see which on is the best. So if you are female, I suggest reading a copy or at least flip through the pages because if you don't find what a man really wants, at least you will get a good laugh.

Well I have been a subscriber to Maxim magazine since I picked up the second issue in an airport, not only was I hooked but I craved it more than the 6 times a year that it was published. I had been a subscriber to details magazine for sometime and thought that it was losing touch with the people that made it what it was. Maxim on the other hand was like the cool guy that everyone wanted to hang out with. It is one of the few magazines that I will read from cover to cover. Not only does it kick Details ass, details is trying to play catchup to what Maxim is now. The articles are both funny and inciteful, the monthly jokes are a cant miss(I just wish my friends hadn't subscribed I was such a hit at parties retelling the jokes that no one had heard before), and the women, let us not forget the women. Some of the best tease shots I have ever seen from women that could stop traffic(See cover example above) Not only are the articles entertaining but also informative, I personally have a friend that used maxims pickup techniques and can't get the women to stop calling him. All in all a very good magazine that went through some growing pains with new editors being shuffled in all the time but are right back on track.

I have not yet completely lowered myself to ordering this magazine, but I should. I always buy both stuff and maxim, and they're a lot cheaper through the mail.
I have to confess much as my roommates, who are quite intelligent, watch wrestling, I read Maxim. It is my monthly infusion of the low brow. Not all of it is to be taken seriously, which should be obvious, but it's always fun. The picture spreads are well done, with women that are both recognizable and appealing. The articles, such as one about a sex town in Thailand, are fascinating, and the features, such as last months 22 things your dad didn't teach you, are very helpful, since my dad is never likely to teach me how to roll a joint.
The movie and music reviews are too brief to be useful, but I don't read this to be exposed to popular opinion or have my opinions changed. I read this magazine because it's fun, and brings out my inner chauvinist for the two hours it takes me to work through it. Jenny McCarthy is on this months (march) cover, and I highly recommend it.
It used to be that Stuff was entirely redundant because the features were almost all the same, but now the two magazines have now completely diversified, and it is worth it to read them both.
All in all, I would never tell my mother, but this is a great magazine, and is occasionally suprisingly useful.

Maxim is like Esquire, but for younger men, guys who are a little more down to earth. Maxim features good pictorials and articles of beautiful women. The pictures are very well done, in good taste. This magazine features everything from sex, beer, crazy events and feats, current events, politics, health to whatever those wacky editors want to write about. A great mag for guys college age to almost into their 40s...I'll probably read it til they stop printing it. It is probably the best men's mag I have ever seen. They also put out a mag called "Stuff," it is very similar, I really can't see why they have 2 magazines, I guess because one issue of Maxim a month just isn't enough. The articles are very informative, sarcastic and funny. I would recommend this mag and Stuff to all my friends, if we didn't already read them. I just can't say enough good things about this magazine. Thanks to Maxim I no longer have to read Playboy for the articles, Maxim takes care of the articles, the only thing lacking is the naked girls, and Maxim almost gives em to ya, almost. Each issue is packed full of varied articles, something not found in Playboy or Esquire.

This is a magizine that no guy should be without. If you are looking for stock tips, sex tips, tips on how to get a girl, food tips, movie reviews, celebrity news and sports stories, then look no futher. In Maxim magizine you get it all. It even comes out with an annual swimsuit issue. The writtings are entertaining and informant. With Maxim there is no gimic that comes with ordering the subscription and the price is reasonable. This is the ULTAMITE guy magizine. For years there have been magizines made exclusively for women, finally there is one that is written primarily for the men. In reading just one magizine you will be able to please your woman in ways that you never felt possible, you can also discover all the latest information out there on keeping fit. MAXIM IS THE ONLY MAGIZINE THAT A MAN NEEDS.

I love this magazine so much. It is like a tame playboy with more interesting articles. I think they should up the price and cut a few advertisements out though. It is a wonderful men's magazine and even some ladies might like it. I like how the fashion part is very up to date as well. I would at least buy one of the newsstand. I love this mag. I would work here if they would let me. another bad thing, they never publish my jokes. ^_^

Man, I can't even begin to describe how great this magazine is. If there ever was a magazine to rival Playboy's reign as the Great American Men's Magazine, this is it. Sex - Sports - Beer - Gadgets - Clothes - Fitness - Maxim has it all!
I would have to say that Maxim is the funniest magazine I've read since Mad lost it's flair when I was 13. The writers inject humor into almost everything they write, and the photo captions are to die for! The articles range from how to pick up a chick in a bar, to stories of survival in the worst of situations. All in all, true guy kind of stuff!
If there is anything to dislike about the magazine, it would be that it isn't published nearly enough. But to a true fan like myself, it would have to be a daily!

When I first saw this magazine, I thought,"Oh great, another male mag exploiting women...". Little did I know. Out of curiosity, I picked it up, started to thumb through the pages and was pleasantly surprised. This magazine has tons of cool articles and features. Of course, there are a few spreads of scantily clad females, but they are tastefully done and usually include interesting interviews with the models. The rest is filled with unique features, such as, The 25 worst sports injuries of all time, or, microscopic bugs and mites that live all around us.
I suppose that not all women would appreciate Maxim. It has great appeal, though, to those of us who aren't particularly squeamish and can't get enough of strange and unusual facts. This mag is chock full of them. It also lets women read and learn about things men enjoy, just like when my husband reads my Cosmo to see what women talk about.
I know this is a mag that guys enjoy, and I highly recommend that all you gals out there take a peek. I believe you'll like it, at least a little bit. Also, for similar reading, you should definitely check out Maxim's Stuff (if you can find it). It's equally enjoyable reading.
