My husband reads Maxim! He says he reads for the articles...the oldest cliche in the book right?!?! Is there anything wrong with him reading Maxim...i personally (obviously being a girl) have never read or looked at Maxim so i have no idea! I honestly thought they were all the same...playboy...maxim...etc!! So help me out here! Did I overreact or should i be concerned?? He was honest and open...he sincerely didn't think i would care or that it was a big deal!!

  1. Maxim does not have any nudes, but it does have scantilly clad women.  Why don't you read one of his magazines and find out for yourself?  There are some "real" articles in it, there is quite a bit of humor and there are some pictorials.  Give it a try and then you can judge for yourself.


  2. Neither magazine is a big deal and they actually do have good articles. If its the women your worried about, well, its not like they crawled out of bed looking like that.  

  3. All men's magazines are not the same.  Pretty much they are, but they're not all filled with nekkid women.

    The non-nekkid ones are all the same in that they have some new must-do workout every single month.  They talk about some s*x move that will make you a stud and how to pick up women.

    A few talk about how to get ahead at work and finances in addition to the rotating perfect workout and how to pick up chicks.

    The men's fashion magazines always, always assume that every man is a millionaire, wears suits to a big office in the sky and wears $1000 blue jeans while he's tooling around in his Bentley on the weekends.

    I like the magazine "Real Simple" but it's geared specifically for women.  If they'd broaden their focus, i'd subscribe.  The men's magazines just miss the mark on REAL life.

  4. It's no big deal.  Relax.

    This is what drives men crazy (and underground), wives freaking out about things that are so irrelevant.

    So what if he looks at pictures of scantily clad (or naked) women?  They aren't real.  He will never meet them.

  5. Maxim is a non-nude magazine...Personally I have read the magazine for the articles, but there is some nice eye candy as well. I would be more concerned if he was reading Playgirl instead of a magazine such as  Playboy or a watered down version such as Maxim

  6. Yea you are overreacting about Maxim. I have actually subscribed to it, so that when I have male friends over they will have something to leaf through as well. it is actually a very informative mag. There is some eye candy--I mean we already knew that. However there are actually some interesting tid bits of info. Check it, read thru an issue, depending on how open minded u r. You may actually enjoy it. Besides why not give something your husband likes a chance, instead of jumping to conclusions.
