Maxim who reads it?

UDZETA · #1 06-25-2002, 05:22 PM

Are there any ladies out there who read maxim? I read it and I think it has some interesting stuff in it. I like to read some of the stories they have. I also like to read about how men should wow a women and see how far off it is. But I do enjoy reading it. I just wanted to know who else reads it and what do you think about it?

Maxim is a little too "No Ma'am" for me... funny, but I don't think I'd get a subscription. I do prefer Men's Health.

Cover to cover but the quality has been lacking lately.

I enjoy reading Maxim - it's hilarious.

Maxim's pretty entertaining sometimes...my friend from high school emailed me this with the subject line: "Remember that frat boy?" I really didn't know what he was referring to...

"Win Over Any Woman!
The 40 indispensable rules of scoring-don't go out without them. Plus, our expert panel reveals the worst pick-up lines of all time30.

Never lean out too far for a kiss. Your body should be right up close to hers so that all you have to do is turn your head and extend your face ever so slightly. Your lips should be on hers before she's had a chance to think. If she has to watch your big head make the approach from an odd angle, she may bob and weave."

LOL.

Nope. I have only so many hours to spend on reading, watching, etc. and Maxim is not on any of my lists of to do's.

I bought Brandon a 3 year subscription to Maxim and I have to admit I enjoy reading it too!

Had it for a year and got bored with it. It went from being a magazine with pretty cool articles and some funny stuff in it to being a catalog....

I heard they've improved since.

Actually, I find Maxim pretty informative. I think of it as a PG-rated Playboy-no nudity, but good looking women in skimpy outfits, interesting articles, and funny stories. I would have it on my coffee table rather than Playboy-but not over GQ.

KappaStarboy gets Maxim and I read it, but it doesn't thrill me. Some of the articles are good, but did anyone see this month's issue. Apparently "Lipstick Lesbians" frequent sorority houses. It's sort of like Cosmo for guys.

I like Men's Health better...Honda is running a really cool ad for the new Accord in this month's MH, showing a picture of the sleek shiny black car and the caption reads "The automotive equivalent of a really hot librarian." At the bottom it says things along the lines of "sexy yet smart." Being a librarian (and a not-too-bad-looking one if I do say so myself), I found it hilarious, and so did everyone at work.

I love Maxim!! I bought Mr. ChiOJenn a subscription, but steal it before he gets a chance to read it. Very funny stuff-often better than most women's magazines.

AOX81 · #14 06-26-2002, 08:52 AM

I read it because I think it's hilarious. I usually buy it for the hubby but I probably read more out of it than he does...he just drools on the cover and that's about it

AGDPrincess70 · #15 06-26-2002, 10:53 AM

I love Maxim! I think it's hilarious. My (female) roommate actually got a subscription to it because we like it so much!

Plus, guys think it's hot that we read it
