Does anybody here read Men's Health

[GL]

What do you think of it? I started reading it in 1997 and it was in my opinion, pretty good. But lately the thing has been about 75% ads. I like how they have that quarterly style guide and I'd probably still buy it because I like some of the articles (like Ask the Bartender). But it's really starting to get disappointing. Are there any other magazines like it (I don't want strictly fitness)?

GQ, Esquire

maxim - much racier than any of the older established mags (i.e. men's health, gq, esquire).
they always feature some scantily clad honey on the front and a review of guy gizmos. no stories
of so-called substance to be distracted by

I especially loved MAXIM's gadget review about the medieval weaponry and armour.

I heard Men's Health is gay porn.

i read it a while back. after a while it had the same things in every issue: sex and exercise. I got this new mag called Outside which is a lot of fun.

Do these magazines have workout routines, tips and advice? I kind of just want a Men's Health clone that just doesn't stuff itself with advertisements...that ratio is way too high for MH. When I said I don't want just fitness I guess I was implying something like Men's Fitness which I don't really find very interesting.

Men's Health Is Not Gay Porn

I repeat, Men's Health is not gay porn

Men's Health is pretty good still. Yeah the ads have increased, but I'm finding that with most of the mags I read. Men's Journal is good if you like to travel/hike/camp/etc. I got an email from a guy at Men's Health who said they are working on a mobile channel. (he wouldn't say if it was going to be through Avantgo)
