Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo How come no one talks about the M50s or M40s?

I've never actually read Maxim. What kind of articles does it have? I'm just wondering if I'm missing anything of value.

I flipped through a copy of Maxim once. Not a lot of substance in there. (besides the large...well, you know)

Maxim had a great article in there last month about the Delta Force and a brief description of some of the missions they've been on (written by a former member). That was a great read. As a whole, the magazine isn't terribly informative, but I don't believe it is designed to be. To me, it's a very well written magazine and I enjoy the dry, self-deprecating humour. Now Stuff on the other hand, is not nearly as well written. It seems like a couple of 13 y.o. boys come up with the jokes - potty humour, bad sex jokes, etc - not very funny at all, and it's getting worse.

Peter, I was under the assumption that everyone in N.A. had read Maxim at least once. You should give one a read through, I think you in particular would enjoy it.

Yeah, but I've got a question (having never read Maxim). Are there ever tips for guys to, um, make their woman happier? Because all the women's magazines are about is "Do this to make him scream a lot in bed!" And all the men's magazines (appear) to be, "Get her to do this to make you scream a lot in bed!" That's the double standard. Ever notice that both men's and women's magazines feature stunning women on the cover? Does this make sense?

Ken, I think that's what GQ and Men's Health are for...

Ah... I see.. Well, I generally stay away from most of the supermarket mags--all I read is Natural History, Road & Track, and Time.

GQ and Men's Health are the Maxim Magazines for gay men.

So, does that pretty much cover the detals surrounding the M50s for you?

I guess the m40s will never be critiqued in Maxim.

I would say there are more "How to make your woman happier" articles than "How to make your woman make you happier articles." But there are considerably more "How to get laid more" articles than both of those put together.
But I havn't actually bought a Maxim for a while.
The double standard that I was refering to was that a man reading a maxim and a woman reading a cosmo aren't looked at the same way when in fact (IMHO) that are both the same magazines.
