Best Life can be added to the publications on this list that have gone the way of the dodo – last issue was May, subscribers were just given a “substitute” subscription to Men’s Health instead.
Seems any magazines that print articles that go beyond the Short Attention Span Theater variety end up heading to the chopping block.

Mens magazines that exclude rude sexist photos of woman,interviews and bad language are all good.
when it comes to relationships they should be vastely mature.

As if to announce that the internet is “for men only,” web sites that contain busty broads are, and should be, offensive to women everywhere.

There is a reason women don’t buy men’s magazines.
Most don’t like sex with their politics or their business.

Most have little problem surviving sexlessness which must be a problem for men so that sex must be sold with web sites in order to get men to look at or buy anything else.

It’s not exactly a men’s magazine but makes for a good read

Intelligent Life (from The Economist)

It’s too bad about Men’s Vogue – I’ve checked out several magazines and it probably had the most interesting to read articles of the bunch, but the “Vogue” name probably killed it. I think I may actually email them to see if they’ve considered releasing it under a name without the connection to the women’s mag.

I agree with most of these ratings, except that Men’s Vogue should get at least a 4, if not a 4.5. The writing is excellent. Esquire is hands down the best men’s magazine out there. Maxim has actually improved its editorial since last summer, though it is still leagues behind the top tier mags. And what the hell happened to GQ? A few years ago the quality of the content was right up there with Esquire. Now its just a bunch of short, too-hip-to be square articles that lack the depth, insight, and originality I used to enjoy the publication for. Also, you do a review on men’s magazines and don’t include Playboy?

Just discovered this site. I thought the same things about men’s magazines as the author. I don’t need a jeans buying guide and everything in the magazine costs more than I’m going to spend. I also agree with the comment about the underwear ads, do we really need those in our magazines? I currently get men’s health and best life, I’m thinking of ditching them since I read most articles online and I’m finding less useful information. I do enjoy this site, keep up the great work.

These are all metrosexual publications — not at all manly. You want manly, read Popular Mechanics and Field and Stream.

I’m pleased that Esquire got a good rating.

I have subs to:

Esquire
Guns & Ammo
The Backwoodsman
Pop Mech
Pop Sci
Newsweek

I sometimes pick up a copy of Men’s Health, Men’s Journal, or GQ at the mag rack.

I gotta hand it to you, these are great gay men’s magazines. For tips on hair products, man-bags and cologne, there are none better. I’ll take Field & Stream and The Atlantic. At least those help me be a better fisher and a smarter person.
