Wink! Wink! Nudge! Nudge! By dav3tv on Dec 18, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

If you're a guy and you have other guys drop by, one phenomenon you'll notice is they'll immediately reach for your issues of Maxim magazine and start thumbing through each glossy page salivating over the cool gadgets, sexy women, great cars, sexy women, movie and music reviews, sexy women.. well, you get the idea! Maxim is a coffee table attention grabber personified.

But what I like about Maxim is the way they sneakily produce a veritable catalog of "great things any guy would love to have" and disguise it as an awesome mainstream man's magazine. For me, Maxim is about the bite-size sidebar reviews and articles of techno-gadgetry and such.. the ads are the thing in my humble opinion. Maxim is kind of like the poor man's Robb Report with stellar looking women thrown into the bargain.

For most guys, Maxim needs no introduction, no hard sell.. Maxim is in the male gene set. Subscribe already!
