What has happened to Maxim magazine? Is it the new editor?
I used to love Maxim and we have a subscription. We all look at Maxim for the beautiful women and a couple of good stories and some funny comics. Now, almost every page is a guy or an ad. They actually had Borat on one (back cover) issue...Who wants to see Borat wearing...oh nevermind.
Geez, I'd rather read Rachel Ray's magazine. They showed more skin...and more interesting stories.
What's up with that? Are you disappointed too?

I used to read Stuff and Maxim religiously (straight girl, by the way). Now the articles are boring, all the fun regular features have either been discontinued or ruined; page after page of ads. Lame humor. And a parade of unattractive unsexy pictures of untalented girls I've never heard of and whose names I'll never remember.

Well, the latest issue of what was once my favorite magazine had 3 pictures of the cover model, followed by 9 pictures of a UFC fighter dressed up in clothes you'll never see a real man wear... The fact is that men want a magazine that's entertaining, maybe an article or two that will make them smile, there is nothing to smile about in Kate Lanphear's Maxim. A little further in the magazine, an article on the "master of Parisian chic fashion", I think I counted about 15 pictures of women in the entire magazine (including advertisements), about 10 times that when it comes to pictures of half naked men and male models...
They say she was brought in to make Maxim more "woman friendly", what she's done is turn it into an elitist fashion magazine. Tell me, why does Maxim NEED to be more "woman friendly"? Why can't it just be an less-than mature magazine for everyday guys? There are plenty of men and women's fashion magazines out there, she didn't need to destroy one of the last entertaining men's magazines to make another one...

Well that's a crock. I don't know what all the first ladies in US history look like, but I know at least Jackie Kennedy buries her in looks by anyone's standard. The only person I can think of related to politics who should have a shot at this list is Megyn Kelly, and if she made it, she should probably be in the 90's.

The September 2015 issue was the worst!! A guy on the cover and nothing but pages and pages (and pages!) of guys in ads, stories, etc. If that issue wasn't geared to the homosexual crowd, what was it??
When my subscription runs out, I'm done!

The woman in Maxim are so airbrushed that they are creepy looking. Maybe I'll check it out now. I hope to see Matt Damon ;)

Yes, what happened to the joke page? It's like completely missing the page of jokes that used to be at the beginning.

`My husband is upset over what has happened to the mag just like you are word for word. I told him to contact the mag and tell them of his dissappointment. He did mention that he might go to Stuff but is worried that it might be the same way. I stick with InTouch and Redbook. LOL
