GQ

I bought GQ this week because I'm looking for a sophisticated mens magazine that I can pick up in the supermarket now and again, with interesting articles on cool houses, mens fashion, cars and the usual manly type articles, but without the sleeze and unintelligence of the various lad mags out on the shelves. I did a google search for mens magazines, and GQ seemed to be the answer. When I saw it in Tesco I bought it, especially because this month's cover feature is Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno, which I am a very big fan of - I thought the film was great. The first thing I would say about the magazine is that there are a substancial number of adverts. I am one of ...  Read the complete review

GQ magazine, or Gentlemen's Quarterly as it is properly called, is a magazine for men that contains a variety of articles. It could be cars, fashion, news, sport or any general article related to men that pops up in the pages of one of these magazines. ~Sport~ The sport side of GQ is very different to your normal sport side of a mens magazine, like say Nuts, for it includes exclusive interviews of sports players, not news on matches, but their views on their line of work, giving a very different and a unique approach to sport. ~Fashion~ GQ is spends a large portion of its pages on making people look good. They have many clothes and show ...  Read the complete review

This headline could be labelled at any one of the ‘magnificent seven’ men’s magazines that dominate proceedings(‘FHM’, ‘Loaded’, ‘Esquire’, ‘Arena’, ‘GQ’, ‘Maxim’ and to some extents ‘Later’), but this is specifically applied to ‘GQ’. Why?

Ok, so if you are wanting a mens magazine then this is the one. Dont listen to those freaks that bum on about FHM. You are a man, not a homosexual! No more than 5 years ago you would have had loads of trouble finding a blokes magazine. Now I know what you are thinking, "Playboy" has been around for years. However I am talking about the kind of magazine that you wouldn't hide away under your bed. This contains gorgeous ladies -but clothed! Shock, horror!! The magazine focuses in on mens fasion, health, shopping, gadgets and entertainment. It is great and provides hours of entertainment. Obviously it is also full of "cons" ...  Read the complete review

As the title infers his magazine is released 4 time a year and is for a higher breed of man. RUBBISH. The audience that was originally aimed at was as described but now the magazine has adopted a monthly release and angled itself towards the lads market magazine. NOw, as I read these magazines I am pleased with this transition, especially as GQ has managed to retain several elements of the original. It is not as crude as th likes of FHM and has many interesting articles tht do not reduce themselves to tiolet humour. That said, the humour is not realy reaidly available. The magazine has a more serious approach to its product than some of its rivals. The level of ...  Read the complete review
