FHM vs Maxim vs GQ

ok gents (and ladies), which lads magazine do you boys prefer reading. personally, i need to have a decent ladies nude section, funny sum up of teh news and a dedicated interview and techno gadgetry section. i would say FHM has everything a guy needs to read in the train which os not porn.

Maxim, I would say.

FHM, i only buy a mens magazine once a year, and thats for FHMs top 100.

I like FHM but the US edition is done as of the next issue...

Based on British editions.

GQ too boring to put into words.

Maxim too far behind in stories and topics.

FHM just to old and behind the times.

If you want a monthly mens magazine in Britian then Front is the best of a bad bunch. But none of the monthly magazines can keep up with Nuts or Zoo which are weekly. Out of these I prefer Nuts, just better allround and also doesn't make up stories about the models in it.

Plus Zoo doesn't have Lucy Pinder in it anymore after a major bust up over stories they made up about her. So they also don't get Michelle Marsh either as it's the same modeling agency.

Why buy any of this stuff. There's more on just one internet site then in all the magazines. The internet is also free. Oh, the articles are good. Yeah right.

I second that.

 

[Clarkie25]

all these magazines are bought by guys who are afraid that mom might find real porn in their room.

FHM U.S. is now discontinued... Guess It did not sell well...

I managed to get a subscription to Maxim using airline miles (on an account that I didn't use anyway). It's been okay, though the women in there hardly EVER seem to have tits bigger than a B cup. Still, the mag's worth a few laughs, especially since it didn't cost me anything.

fhmis good but so is maxum but hustlers better

The internet isn't free, you have to pay for your server

 

[C-Roc]

i buy them for the articals and the girls

its free if you have wireless and can connect to a hotspot like a nearby hotel or airport or cafe, but i knew what you meant

But then your still paying Cabey, price of the computer, the software, even the power to run it.

After a little thinking on his comment the dafter it became (sorry YMIHERE) as we all know at times it's not easy finding something on the net. So theres another cost, the hours wasted searching for it. This doesn't even bring me to the fact you might not have known about it till you saw it in the mens magazine. Then theres the babes you would never know by just looking on the net that they bring you each week in the magazines.

Hell if it wasn't for the magazines and newspapers most of the women we know and love wouldn't even be modeling. Lets take a few examples Lucy Pinder found on a beach sun bathing by the Daily Star. The Sun found Keeley Hazell and presented her to the world. Pamela Anderson was a Playboy model to become one of the most lusted after women in the world in her day. Playboy, Penthouse and such have brought us many of the most popular women over the years.

Then theres FHM in it's hey day was the worlds best selling magazine behind Playboy for men. They managed to get some of the most beautiful women to pose in sexy lingerie and bikini's you'd never thought you'd see like that.

But magazines come and they go, others have good times then bad. It's all to do with style and been able to change with the times. FHM is having a very bad time due to it not changing and also the strong competition it's got nowdays. What a lot of people don't know is that FHM own Zoo magazine here in Britain and thats one of the main reasons why FHM has suffered here. It created it's own competition that is killing the monthly magazine for men. After all why go and buy a monthly magazine that when you take the adverts out only has about two weeks worth of things the weeklies have for nearly the same price. Plus with the weekly you can keep your features more up to date than you can with any monthly magazine.

So whats the betting that this thread in one years time isn't which is the best between Nuts, Zoo and some other weekly mens magazines.
:2 cents:

Only US mens magazine I like was FHM, but I like the UK versions alot better. Specially Loaded and front. They kick any us mens magazines ass. Only thing they are alot more buying them here. But I will pick one up once every couple months.

 

[Torre82]

Dont like magazines. Nor their websites. A *true* mens magazine should do nudes and not that teasing BS. If I wanted to see Tera Patrick or Mrs. Howard Stern in a bikini or ACTUAL CLOTHES I could just open my browser and frickin' GOOGLE IT! I WANT CHOICE TITTIES AND BEER REVIEWS!!

 

[roomonfire]

I'd be lost without the pics mags such as FHM provide... but so long as they are as easy as this to find online I wouldn't buy them.
I did use to buy men's mags and all i would do with them is jack off. now i am "old enough" for porn, which i can get for free!!!, so don't waste my money. But it does seem that the monthlies still have pretensions towards quality - wheras zoo just have girls with big tits wearing not very much. which is what i want!
I would take michelle marsh over some self obsessed hollywood star any day!

BUT, if i want to read articles, i buy a newspaper. if i want girls, i go online. simple.

Whoops, you got me. I did write the internet is free, but what I was thinking was that a lot of web sites are free.
You are correct in pointing out all the hidden and overt costs of using the internet. I stand corrected. I started thinking about this issue. I, for one, have the internet for business reasons and costs are paid by my business as a business expenses.
Since I have the connection for other reasons, it literally cost nothing to go for the porn. I wonder how many people got an internet connection just for the porn, or like me got it for other reasons. If you got connected just for porn, the costs do approach the cost of magazines. Perhaps this could be a poll thread asking who would stop using the internet if there was no porn on it.
