I will often pick up a copy of Maxim or GQ before I board the plane, if an article on the cover peaks my interest. There's very little difference between Maxim/FHM/Stuff and Cosmo or Glamour. It's average, at best, writing, on a somewhat interesting topic.
It's reading to be entertained, and not to have your mind expanded, which there is absolutely nothing wrong with. GQ tends to have better guest writers, and they seem to be less about using sex to sell their magazine, and relying on their readers to have the ability to form a complete thought.
Men's Health usually has a lot of interesting, articles in it that will hold my attention for a while.
Those magazines are very interesting, as a female, to read, because I honestly thought it was only the women's magazines that told us we weren't ever good enough, that we had to be thinner, look younger, be more beautiful, have more sex to be taken seriously as a person. Apparently the men's magazines are starting to tell you fellas the same thing.
