Somehow... MAXIM cost more, yet was a lot smaller. I think that is the true puzzling factor in this blog. I'd say it's because MAXIM has less advertisements compared to COSMO, but I don't think that's the case. I got my fill of perfumes/colognes, watches/jewelry, and styling products from both magazines. However, MAXIM was able to squeeze in some male enhancement ads. I'm sure COSMO would do the same if there was a female equivalent.
COSMO was packed full of excerpts, articles, pictures, and products. MAXIM was able to squeeze in how to stop a toilet from overflowing and the safest ways to remove your own tooth, it just didn't seem to compare to COSMO. Despite MAXIM's barely covered pictures of women... COSMO also kicked ass in the raunchy aspect. Reading COSMO is like reading soft-core porn. MAXIM seemed to stay about from any emotional talk or even sexual talk and focus on the pure facts. A big difference I found between the two magazines was when they each touched on the topic of relationships between a male and female. COSMO had "Secrets of Male Arousal" and "75 Guy Truths_Their Weird Behavior Explained" as two main articles in the magazine. MAXIM, however, had one article that touched on the relationship topic... "Sex with your Ex". Women will spend their time reading about how to please their man or understand their man better, while men proceed to read about how to get laid with out gaining commitment. I mean, if that doesn't say anything about our society today... then I don't know what does. I'm kind of pissed, but I also feel inspired to start my own magazine called "How to be a decent man and treat your woman right"... I'll work on the title.
