Men's Journal Review

Bottom-Line: If you are looking for a magazine written for the not-so-average Joe, Men's Journal Magazine might be for you.

Men's Journal Magazine, is published monthly by Wenner Media, the same publishing house that brings us such notable sidewalk fare as Us Weekly and Rolling Stone. 

The magazine will set you back $3.95 an issue at the local newsstand, but 1 year subscriptions can be had for $9.95.  Inside each approximately 120-page magazine you will not find half clothed women dripping with sexy come hither stares.  Nor will you find the next Hollywood "it" girl, or wannabe skinny model with a fake tan gracing the pages of this Men's magazine.  No, Men's Journal is serious business folks; vapid men with one track minds and adolescent libido's need not apply!

Men's Journal is a smartly written, thoughtfully designed magazine for the active intellectual male.  The magazine offer feature-length articles on a wide range of subjects based on the magazine's central theme: adventure, travel, equipment, sports, fitness, health, and style. 

My Viewpoint

When all is said and done I enjoy reading Men's Journal Magazine.  Granted, given my current lifestyle (my days of adventures have been traded in for the American Dream and all that entails for now), the information the magazine imparts is only marginally useful to me.  The fitness articles are rater short and are mostly how-to's that while useful are just barely so.  Most of the equipment discussed in Men's Journal is for the magazines target audience with the appropriate disposable income; that's not me.  

If you are looking for a magazine written for the not-so-average Joe, filled with those little tidbits in life only men can appreciate, but also brings a healthy infusion of intelligent to its well written and information pages, Men's Journal Magazine might be for you.
