Maxim Reviews

Maxim is yet another men's magazine with attitude. Still a relative youngster at around 6 years compared to its supposedly more mature peers such as "GQ", "FHM" and of course "Arena" (see earlier review for this mag), Maxim started life trying to be different from the crowd, but after reading the first few issues I ...  Read the complete review

This is where theediscerning gets on his high horse and slags something off big time. Hope it's fun for all concerned. Late last year theediscerning completed a junkmail offer for a 3 month subscription to the UK edition of the men's lifestyle magazine Maxim, purely because it was at the special rate of £1 for the quarter. ...  Read the complete review

I thouht i should give it a try.Last week i received my first issue. I think it is quite impressive. there are lot features and showbiz gossips, different issues featuring men. the only thing I ...  Read the complete review

Loaded Magazine was launched a few years ago and there was a media explosion shortly afterwards, as magazine companies jumped on the bandwagon. No longer were men restricted to Top shelf porn and fishing magazines, they could now enjoy reading something a bit more substantial. Maxim soon emerged to challenge the big boys and is now one of the ...  Read the complete review

Each to their own. I read the other ops prior to writing this. Glad I did but it seems most people enjoy this mag. I got 3 for 1p during a trial & never reading mens mags anymore, I was intrigued to find out the attraction in a mens mag advertised by "Sex" but without any sex! So having read 3 a 4th ...  Read the complete review

Okay people here it is. I am lying here and getting ready to give you another installment on cobby's dead brain. My girlfriend lying beside me, screaming "WRITE AN OPINION ON MAXIM". So quivering in my boxer shorts i immediately agreed. I mean this is suppose to be a mens magazine and yet my girlfriend buys it more than i do? hrmm.. ...  Read the complete review

At 36 am I too old? This is the question I have to ask myself after reading the last 2 issues of Maxim and finding them on the whole to be a pile of humourless trash am I too old, or too married to enjoy a lads mag? My perusing of the mags in the newsagent I still find a lot to titillate and interest me in Loaded or FHM so the only ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit, when I first opened Maxim, I thought it was written by a 14 year old boy. However, upon further inspection, it is one of the funniest things I've ever read. My boyfriend has a subscription and I'm a bit embarrased to say that I get excited when the new issue comes. Being a straight woman, I skip the scantily ...  Read the complete review

Recently the men's magazine market has been flooded with new titles. The newer releases have all tried to bring a fresh aspect but Maxim continues to outshine its rivals in every respect. The price is £3, which may not seem cheap but if you like the mag the subscription deals bring the cost down by a fair bit. At the moment I get my ...  Read the complete review

I am a monthly subscriber to this magazine and I cannot wait for it to drop through the letter box each month. For those of you who believe it's just semi naked ladies look again, as there are many interesting articles on world events. The magazines does contain many semi naked ladies and usually comes with a supplement containing for ...  Read the complete review

As the so-called lad-mags go, this is probably one of the better ones. There are a range of interviews, photo-shoots, reviews, and true life stories. I particularly enjoy the crime articles, which although gruesome, are interesting. The selling point though, as with other such publications, is the glamorous photo-shoots of sexy women, ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who regularly reads Maxim must surely be a brain dead tosspot of the very highest order. This magazine is full to bursting with mindless irrelevant rubbish that 'men' are supposed to like. It is a hideous pile of sexist garbage for people with extremely tiny brains and even tinier todgers. Imagine taking all the ...  Read the complete review

I bought last month's maxim because I've never read it before, I'm afraid I won't be reading it again. I think the publishers must have a pretty low opinion of men in general. It consists mostly of soft-core pics of here-today/gone-tomorrow female 'celebrities', dodgy fashion + football features and endless glossy ads for ...  Read the complete review

So men's lifestyle magazines haven't changed much, eh? Well, unfortunately you'd be right. The usual character traits are omnipresent as always. A not-very-well-known good-looking woman who is featured in an advert will be there on one page, partially clothed. You'll get your strange events happening around the world section. A ...  Read the complete review

Maxim In the now crowded market for 'Mens' magazines, excluding those that are of a true top shelf variety, Maxim magazine is considered by many to be the poorer relative of its more successful counterpart FHM. I don't buy this magazine every month, maybe one in two, and perhaps the same for FHM. I am of the opinion ...  Read the complete review

To update this opinion, I only need to add Maxim attracts more mature readers with opmion pages, more oldies (male) and more pictures of babes. I am in my second year of a Maxim (UK edition) subscription. Maxim features lots of babes and other typical lads mag items including sportsmen, true crime, reality, gadgets and how to… ...  Read the complete review

I buy Maxim and FHM every month and find that Maxim is now coming on stronger than FHM, the features are tending to be based more at the average man in the street. The section on “Who’s that girl” is one of the best features. This section highlights a girl from a TV ad and runs a feature on her. The Fashion sections seam to be a ...  Read the complete review

About six months ago I decided to try a different lads magazine other than FHM and so I gave Maxim a go. Initially it was great, I sent off for a subscription which gave me three issues free, quite a bargain. When the magazine arrived it looked great, a glossy cover with a fine babe spread across it and some interesting articles advertised on the ...  Read the complete review

Maxim is a men's glossy with a varied contents which appeals to many men. It is geared to the 18's to 30's but some of us wrinklies buy it. Jokes, women, sport, fashion and features make it a real good read. But it is a copy of the original men's glossy FHM. Women may feel that any mans magazine exploits women but that ...  Read the complete review

Maxim is easily the best of the mens magazines out at the moment and has been for quite a while. Unfortunately it suffers from the same problems as its competitors, the narrow-minded style of editing. Mens magazines it seems, all have the same idea about how to sell more copies - more flesh. If I wanted to see a lot of scantily clad ladies I would ...  Read the complete review
