Men's Journal (1-year)

I have been a female reader of Men's Journal for 10 years. The articles are always very good, open and fair, and of excellent journalistic quality. They have product reviews, health questions, sports information, etc. The magazine is well balanced and only has a few 'men only' related articles. It is also very cheap as far as magazines go and this was a gift subscription for someone. Everyone I have ever gifted it to has liked it.

I would suggest not ordering magazines from Amazon. I placed an order on April 9th and it's now July 11th and I still haven't received my first issue. You're better off just going to the store and picking out one of those post cards inside the magazine and ordering it directly from the publishing company. I called the third party that Amazon uses for magazine subscriptions to find out why I hadn't received my first issue as scheduled and they said my condo number was cut off when my address was sent to them from Amazon. You would think someone would contact me to correct the issue but they waited for me to call them (I called them only after the maximum first issue delivery date had expired). That set my first issue delivery date back to sometime in August, five months from my original order. It just seems like too many things can go wrong when you're passing information back and forth like amazon does with their third party vendors. There's no discount or incentive to buy directly from Amazon so why risk the hassle. It makes more sense to just go directly to the source and order magazines.

The Men's Journal is a great magazine and Amazon came through as promised.

This unethical company sends you faux debt collection type letters when you opt not to renew your subscription. The content is hit or miss and the retention attempts by their subscription department is just the last nail in the coffin for me with them. I will NOT be subscribing or buying another copy of this magazine. Half of it is ads anyways.

I bought this magazine on a regular basis many years ago. Subscribed again for variety in my magazine diet but cancelled it after 2 issues. The volume and content has slimmed quite a bit since the early days.

The focus is now mostly on where people go for physical activities. Less focus on gear review and doesn't inspire one to "get-out-there" as much as previously.
