For the past thirteen
years FHM has been the nation’s
bestselling men’s magazine but latest figures show that it has been out-muscled
(couldn’t resist) by Men’s Health
magazine.
Many media reports
suggest that men now prefer toned abs to scantily clad women. I don’t buy that
for a second; boys will be boys and men will be men, and the majority of the
male gender is always going to want to look at sexy women, it’s just the
way it is. The sex industry is bigger than it’s ever been.
The only difference
between thirteen years ago and now is that these pictures are much easier to find
on the Internet. Why would men pay over £3 to see something they could see for
free online?
It’s not all about women,
obviously – magazines like FHM used
to profit on our lack of ability to communicate efficiently. FHM used to be king of creating virals,
whether it was pictures, jokes or grim stories, chances were that if it was in FHM you wouldn’t have seen it before.
Now, if you haven’t already seen it on the Internet by the time the magazine
comes out then it’s probably not that good anyway.
The fitness market has
picked up steam – Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness both improved circulation
by 2% and 3% respectively – but the real story here is the demise of the lad
mag industry as a whole. It’s simply buckled as the Internet grew stronger. FHM was down 16.2% in a
year to 235,027, while Zoo (111,012),
Nuts (188,532) and Loaded (72,679) posted annual
circulation declines of 31%, 25% and 24% respectively.
The men’s magazine market has suffered in recent months
with Dennis Publishing, owner of Maxim, announcing that it would be
available online only, and in March Arena magazine closed after 22
years.
Mike Shallcross, deputy editor of Men’s Health said: “Our core reader is the heteropolitan man. Late
twenties to early thirties – aspirational, stylish rather than fashionable, he
wants to stay in shape without sacrificing his weekend pints. He either has
children, or wants to have them in the future.
“He doesn’t want topless Hollyoaks girls or expensive cufflinks but solid actionable advice
on health, fitness, career, nutrition, mental health and style.
“What men want from magazines has changed…Lad mags haven’t
really evolved in the last ten years …”
The fitness sector may
be smug for now but once the online media catches up with them they won’t be
smiling either. The magazine industry is heading the same direction as the
print newspaper industry, and it’s not up.
mr
What a load of cobblers.
the only reason men find 'tits' attractive is because over so many generations they have been classically conditioned to believe that that is a) sexy and b) what is expected of them. I have no problems with men finding the female form a beautiful thing but treat it like it is beautiful, like you respect it and appreciate it from under some clothes. Breasts are there to feed babies, that is their ultimate purpose. They are NOT there for the sole amusment of men (just partly so that nature can take it's course and impregnate the female while the male is distracted)!
Get real you peeps,
Lads mags are going down the pan because there is tons of masturbating material on the net.
So stop @#$%footing about, that is the simple basic truth.
As far as muscle boy mags are concerned don't assume that is the same straight guys that bought lads mags that are buying them.
What a joke this feature is.
okay but why tell us three times?
yeah but if the interweb was turned off
then the lads mags would get huge sales increases

I think you have a typically female 'inflated' view of what breasts mean to a typical man, a beautiful smile means much much more, and is much sexier.
erm…..surely blokes would rather look at hot ladies and think ” i must get buff to meet a @#$% like her”???? or am i wrong???? you dont need a magazine to tell you how to get fit? t-nterweb is free!!!
oh and i agree with no 9 too.
markrich you are a ****** x 3
