Pretty straight forward really.
I've just moved my affiliation to Loaded as they have a fantabulous Kelly Brook supplement in this months issue.

embee · 12-08-2003 07:36PM

Ive been reading FHM for about four years now.
Its better than any of the ****e womens mags out there for sure.
Those ones bang on about relationships and emotion and clothes
Bah.
Theres a number of reasons why I prefer it :

1)The articles are hilarious. From round the world in 80 beers to last years classic, "The Seven Ages of Woman" ... womens magazines are full of crap.

2)The reporter pages at the start are ten times better than poxy womens letters pages.... i like reading "Whats Wrong with FHM" and seeing people completely missing the point.

3)The FHM Arms are great.... as is Pub Genius....

4) The interviews with the Girls On The Sofa are good too....

5) jennas sex advice....... classy

the girls they feature are always wearing beautiful lingerie

The website is better than the mag in some ways.....

/me gets flashbacks to Lucy_le_morte

embee · 12-08-2003 08:13PM

Who is Lucy le Morte?

ChumpStain · 12-08-2003 09:12PM

Probably FHM although I don't buy it that often, every few months and when Top 100 Women is released:D

de5p0i1er · 12-08-2003 09:21PM

Gotta be FHM, most of the others never have anything good in them.

seamus · 12-08-2003 09:34PM

I'll buy FHM or Maxim if I have money burning a hole in my pocket. Otherwise I just let my brother buy them, and I rob them.

They're reminiscent of Playboy and Penthouse on a less porn level.

FHM is the one that tries to stay high class, plenty of articles and still plenty of pics.

Maxim is constantly trying to out-do FHM and do 'hotter' shoots then ever before. It has the same article idea as FHM, but is smaller, and has less content overall.

FHM is better.

Antisocialiser · 12-08-2003 10:48PM

Bull**** what about the body problems and the cringe sections!

simu · 12-08-2003 11:14PM

I really don't get why ppl buy these magazines.

I've seen ones my brother gets the odd time and basically the message is "Buy loadsa stuff to be cool and to get girls".

I mean, if you want funny articles, there are lots of free websites for this kind of stuff, if you want porn, you can get much more explicit stuff on-line as well.

I just don't get it!

Dr Bolouswki · 12-08-2003 11:29PM

I agree with simu - these mags are mindless... teaching all you boys to be good consumers and homoginising your view of what constitutes femininity... beware... they're bad for you...

Bought Maxim the other week cos they had a free football DVD with it... the mag was nauseatingly dull - though the soccer babes were so hot they made me weep... but it's stylised sub porn nonsense and the articles, bar the odd exeption, are generally muck too...

However, I gotta admit I suffer from the zeal of the convert. In my early twenties I used to buy Loaded, Maxim and FHM regularly - it got to the stage where I was feeling bad cos I didn't have the watch, the clothes, the car... or the large breasted cock hungry air-brushed bird... it's a fantasy image of fantasy people they portray - and not a harmless fantasy either...

Irelands Own - now THERE'S a magazine...

Sarky · 12-08-2003 11:41PM

Bunty.

That is all.

simu · 12-08-2003 11:46PM

Bunty

lol!

Do they publish it anymore? I can't imagine it being slick enough for today's kids!

Amz · 13-08-2003 12:11AM

The four Mary's tbh tbh!

Rar! Loike!

Robbo · 13-08-2003 02:39AM

I was a long time FHM reader until quite recently. It's gone downhill a lot and I now find it patronising and dull. The same articles crop up on a yearly cycle and most of it reads as promotional literature anyway.

Esquire, tbh.

Dustaz · 13-08-2003 11:49AM

When Loaded first appeared it was such a revelation. It was the best thing on the the shelves and was the best read youd have all month. The journalism was consistantly interesting and funny and the closest thing to gonzo journalism i suppose we'll get to see these days. The fact that the whole Lad culture was new added to it all i suppose.

Then one day it just got **** and disapeared up its own arse. Pity that. Fhm isnt bad but i agree with robbo that it seems to be very recycled and patronising. Decent women tho

hedgetrimmer · 13-08-2003 12:36PM

WHy is playb0y not there?

I *do* read the articles

Bard · 13-08-2003 01:02PM

Why aren't Bizarre and Jack in your list?

I'd pick them.

Dr. Loon · 13-08-2003 02:45PM

FHM... and Maxim. I've kinda stopped buying though, as I agree with Robbo and Dustaz. It's the same shít every year. Also, I recently moved house and couldn't believe the sheer volume of mags I had.... bleedin' hundreds.... and the weight of the bástards.

Bizarre is just filth, kinda like front.

Wook · 13-08-2003 02:50PM

it's gotto be 'the Watchtower' this weekly jehova's self masturbation of the innocent mind.

AL][EN · 13-08-2003 05:05PM

Bunty!! jeez now thats going back a bit!! (cough) not that i ever read bunty i eerrgghh just herd about it thats all!!

aaahh i see you changed your Avatar Amz too many peeps trying to copy you eh?

never really checked out the website is it any good?

Trojan · 13-08-2003 07:06PM

My personal favourite.

bugler · 13-08-2003 07:29PM

I had a couple of issues of Club once...someone stole them. I don't buy it nearly as much as I used to, but FHM still entertains me. Limited experience with Loaded, didn' care for it tbh. The rest I've only read very little or not at all.

richindub2 · 14-08-2003 11:41AM

does Empire count? Its sort of lads magish and its rather good
