Favourite mens magazine?

[Safeway]

What's yours?

My personal favourite has always been Loaded, followed by Maxim. FHM is a load of gay bollocks, (how to shave, how to pluck your eyebrows etc), only ever worth buying for the Top 100.

Loaded is by far and away the funniest. GQ is the best for fashion. FHM has nice pictures. Q is a gay muso dad rock rag.

Fave - Loaded

 

[JJ McClure]

Only buy FHM twice a year, once for the calender and one for the top 100 women.

Bizzare is quality.

[magoo]

Worked my way through Loaded, FHM and ended up at Esquire which has been the top of the heap chez Turnip for a while. Occasionally buy GQ as well but get disheartened at adverts for £2000 suits and watches that would cost Turnip a year's salary.

But they're all cack really aren't they? Pictures of actresses, soap stars and pop starlets in their knickers accompanied by "interviews" peppered with innuendo-laden quotes.

The formula's a bit tired and I think the average man on the street knows he's being manipulated these days.

Quite like the idea of James Brown's magazine, Jack, but find the content a bit dull.

Perhaps it's time for me to start reading Mdme Turnip's Homes and Gardens instead

 

[looney]

Agree with mangoo, there for spotty adolescents.

Real men read the Economist.




:safeway reads Good Housekeeping.

 

[Curious Orange]

I used to read loaded. But they all became dull and repetitive. So I don't bother now.

The only shocking thing about that post is the amount of time it took to come. Shame on you.

DT, did you know that James Brown was the original editor of Loaded?

I do agree that magazines of this genre have become rather tired since their birth in the mid-90s. To be honest I very rarely buy any of them anymore, but they are still worth a flick through in the barber's.

 

[Wozza]

Quite like the idea of James Brown's magazine

The public doesn't.

Sales of Jack have been terrible so he's sold it to Dennis Publishing, makers of Maxim.

DT, did you know that James Brown was the original editor of Loaded?

Yes, I did and I used to really enjoy loaded when it first came out because it was different and interesting. Still got the first issue in the loft somewhere.

 

[Minghawk]

I can't believe that Fish Packer Monthly isn't included
in the poll.


Sort it out guys

I was going to say "Jack" until I saw the comment about it being sold.

James Brown is a great editor - the original "Loaded" was a real breath of fresh air in the same way that "Jack" has been and the original "Arena" was before that.

Most mens mags remind me of nothing so much as the way that so many things start off great then get copied and cheapened for a mass market that never understood the original article.

In the words of Dobie Gray the originals are still the best.
