Lads Mags

polliepp

Hi there,

Was wondering what guys think of the whole lads mag thing? Is it only a certain type of man who buys these mags? As a female I have to say I find them a bit sad. Your views would be welcome?

SadieSue

My husband thinks they come in handy.

Duggy747

na it's pretty normal. i used to buy them to vent my sexual frustration. then i got the internet. if you think lads mags are sad you should grab a lad's laptop and check their search history.

The editorials and book reviews are marvellous for keeping in touch with whats important in life

Agricola

How else are we suppose to knock one out when theres no internet nearby?

I like to have a read of Zoo or Nuts(yes, read) for entertainment and Modified Moters or Max Power for reading about cars and ogling women.

My girlfriend buys Cosmopolitan every now and again, so one day I picked it up and flicked through it.
Lo and behold, both lads mags and girls mags are the same, except for one small difference.
Guys get pictures, women get stories.
Some of the stuff you read in magazines such as Cosmopolitan have enough material to make a porn film.

Women just like to kid themselves into thinking they buy it for the 'fashion'...

Male versions of Cosmo, OK, Hello, etc.

At least the writers for lads mags don't come on here and ask our opinions instead of doing proper research.

Sugar Free

Haven't looked at one since I was about sixteen...internet.

Biggins

I puchase "Esquire, etc" as does the other half get "Scarlet, etc" - don't see them all as just sad!
Some of us like well written magazines too.

ibarelycare

What's sad about them OP?

shampoosuicide

what exactly do you think is weird about it anyway?

Forest Master

It's usually generic "lads" who buy them. Football, Cars, Boobs, Beer, Wayhay! Simple folk with low expectations out of life. They watch the match at the weekend, they attend Toys for Big Boys in the RDS, they likely drive a crap souped up car, they wear lame catchphrase t-shirts ("I'm not as think as you drunk I am", "Adihash", etc), the girls they hang out with wear short skirts & too much fake tan, etc, etc....

Douchebag mags for morons, TBH.

strobe

I don't buy them myself, but I've read a couple over the years. One of my mates had a subscription to one, I can't remember the name but it use to be class. It was like cracked.com in magazine form, loads of interesting or funny articles, but with naked chicks in the middle pages. Whats not to like.

Duggy747

I don't see how people buy Zoo &Nuts together, they're essentially the exact same magazines with the same interviews, jokes, adverts, gadgets, pub facts, footie news and obligertary "gangs in Rio" feature as each other in the same week.

Still, oogling at Gemma Atkinson is great...............until you get sticky pages!

*cough*

I only buy these magazines for the pictures of girls in the nip

I only buy FHM and have done for about 10 years. Its actually a pretty good read and with a few pics of hot women(not naked). Nuts and zoo are only for under the bed as far as i can see

stovelid

I certainly don't find them much sadder than most women's magazines.

polliepp

I never said they were weird as one poster suggested. Anyway thank you so much - consider my research done. Your replies were so original and enlightening bar one or two obvious intelligent guys. I was just checking an article that I read today (talking about Danny Dyer and the Zoo fiasco) which stated that they appealed to the lowest common denominator i.e. unintelligent, uneducated, misogynistic sun readers. Thank you for clarifying that.;)

That's pretty much what I said alright.

shampoosuicide

feel free to outline the distinction between weird and sad.

BBDBB

thats a poor effort pollie if you dont mind me saying

throwing in your previously held view after so few replies

you could have dragged the erse out of it for much much longer with a few probing questions:rolleyes:

So what sh*tty rag of a newspaper do you work for then?

If you don't like our replies then perhaps you should do some proper work in future and not just come on here getting us to provide you with filler for your article?

polliepp

No I don't mind at all. Bored already and not shocked in the least - hope that doesn't disappoint you. Now don't you have a **** mag to get back to. Don't let me keep you guys.:D

epgc3fyqirnbsx

I'm astonished as to how people come on here to look for yet another reason to look down on other people.

OP honestly who cares, you read what you like and be happy. I really believe that if everyone minded their own bloody business the world would be a much happier place

Well you're obviously far too intelligent for us "unintelligent, uneducated, misogynistic sun readers", so I take it you'll not longer be troubling us with your pressence. Bye.

If she is doing an article on lads mags, it says a lot about where one would find such an article... in a lags mag perhaps OP? :rolleyes:

I would think it would suit better a girls mag, you know the fembot types that target men with their amazing research techniques, making claims like the OP.

Did you get burned op? Good... You probably deserved it

perri winkles

I read FHM whenever my BF buys it, and yes I am a girl!

I find it quite good actually, funny articles and the likes. Usually more original they any girls magazine.

Granted its not really a 'hardcore' lads mag but still!

polliepp

Obviously touched a raw nerve with some of you seeing how defensive you all are. If you are happy with your mags off you go - thats your business. But responding with comments about being fat, old and ugly is just pathetic and all you are doing is proving what I said in the first place!!

How did she get burned? Based on the replies so far, it appears to me that she was right about the types of people who read those magazines - further proven by certain posters calling her "ugly or fat" or a "jealous fembot". It seems that she got your number, so now you're just resorting to personal insults as if that's somehow "burning" her.... All it's doing is further proving her point...

You come in here insulting us, presuming us all to fit the stereotype that you are 'researching'.
What's sauce for the goose....
And bad choice of forum for research, btw. You should have done more research into that.

As pathetic as calling people 'unintelligent, uneducated, misogynistic sun readers'?

Rockn

Lads mags are for the poor fools who haven't discovered the internet. Bless 'em.

Micky Dolenz

No more insults. If people have a problem with a post report it.

Now... was she really calling us all Mail readers - or Male readers? :pac:

About as pathetic as you calling people uneducated, unintelligent and misogynistic.

LoanShark

Maxim used to be a great mag, It had a lot of good funny stuff in it then it almost turned into somthing similar to Loaded or Nuts..Don't get me wrong I love looking at a Sexy Bird in her kacks, But if I was sitting in an airport or travelling on a bus,The last thing I want people to see is the magazine I'm looking at with womens knockers hanging out on most pages...And then when I head to the jacks, people would think I'm away to Rub one out..

is this your first venture onto the internet?

you have got exactly what you desired and set out to get from your first post, lets not pretend otherwise, it demeans us all

Jazzy

they are pretty crass but are probably a million times better then the likes of OK! and Hello etc. which imo are counter productive to the evolution of the species

alwaysadub

I've read FHM and NUTS loads of times. There is actually interesting articules in them at times. I've also read Cosmo and the likes loads of times. As someone's pointed out, the amount of sex in Cosmo is just as much as in any lads mags. Cept there's a few less pictures.
I don't buy any mags anymore,mainly cos i can't justify myself spending a fiver or whatever a month on them.
I've no problem with anyone reading any of them mags if they want. I've better things to be doing with my time than worrying about things like that.
