I was looking at the "Photography, photos you took, photos you are in, photos you like, the lot! (http://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=7607.0)" thread and came across McQ's image of the accidental one armed pitcher which I thought was great but it also reminded me of these images that I saw a while back. Any one got any others?

;D I used to read Maxim until I realized it was simply the male counterpart to Cosmo. It did little to improve my dating life and women simply thought I was stupid for reading it. :)

Both Maxim and Cosmo are pretty idiotic magazines...

Maxim- "men's magazine" gives you tips on sex and how to work out,,etc. Lots of female degrading. Girls in bikinis. Girls in bikinis with a computer (cuz apparently women arent smart, or use technology.)
Cosmo (or cosmopoliton) -" women's magazine" make up tips, sex tips, pretty much sexism against women by women, thinly veiled as empowering them.
Consider yourself lucky.

You forgot that cosmo is as sexist towards men as maxim is to women. Assuming that is the definition we are using for sexism. :) We are all lying, cheating bastards according to them.
It's too bad the finer points of maxim go unrecognized. How is it different from idiotic LOL sites? The magazine format encourages stewardship. *badum ksh* 8)

This was also the overwhelming impression I got from when I read a copy of Cosmo. Then again so are all lass mags just as the lad mags are sexist towards women. All those kinds of magazines are not worth the paper they are printed on.

Oh, i agree. Both magazines are sexists and generalize the genders. >___<
Hey, I absolutely and positively adore maxim. I don't pull off any of the stunts they have, but it's great jolly old fun. Besides, I don't think they're meant to be taken seriously, like Cosmo.
I agree that the content for both of Maxim and Cosmo is sexist and is geared towards helping one gender manipulate the other. I do find it strange that they both feature scantily clad women, though (or, at least they did the last time I looked. Which was years ago). You'd think that Cosmo would have more dudes in it or something. But no, I guess they figure we'd rather be masochists.
After a quick Google image search, I found this picture from a Maxim; they seemed to have removed a woman's bellybutton.

Are bellybuttons unsexy now?

She's a mark IV clone.
They do offer a custom belly button option on the mark VII, for the fetishists.

I think it is because straight men like looking at attractive women and straight women like looking at attractive women. For men it's, "I want to fuck that," for women it's, "I want to be that." Men certainly want to be other men. But from what I noticed, it's not the same kind of envy women feel.
I also used to read GQ, which I think is a more homosexual and metrosexual mag. In those they had a lot of shirtless men with great bodies. Being straight, I never felt any kind of envy. Sure they had great bodies, but the envy comes in with the personality more so than the body. I would much prefer to take a humorous man's body than a sexy man.
Women on the other hand seem to prefer to take the sexy body, regardless of the personality.
This is mostly observation and speculation, and does not apply to all men and all women. It's simply the norm I have observed.
Added: As to your picture. It looks like a third nipple... I once dated a girl with a third nipple and it was much closer to her normal nipples.
People wanna rant on about self esteem, acceptance and body image issues (for both genders )
Well, these garbage magazines are a huge part of the problem.

Yeah but why pay for it when you can probably find a tumblr full of the stuff you enjoy reading in no time at all. I love print but those kinds of magazines are not exactly doing anything that can't be done on the internet for a crap load cheaper, except for maybe paying starlets to appear scantly clad which would then kill the source for the tumblr sites.

I honestly think that's one of those bullshit excuses that actually sidestep the real issue, even though it is part of the problem its not as big as many believe. The real issue is that people that are susceptible have no or little confidence in the first place and its this that needs to rectified not getting rid of images that show a persons ideal view of another person. This sort of imagery has existed throughout time and is constantly changing, even if you look at what are the popular idealized looks in the world of fashion and sexual imagery it varies wildly, there is no consensus on what is an idealized form. People latch onto what they find attractive and its a confidence issue on how much it effects them, it is also a lack of education that a person that is naturally an endomorph isn't ever going to naturally be an ectomorph and is dangerous to try and attempt to be something else.

Because they have appropriate sex education. You wouldn't want them to be cunt ignorant like we were at their age.

This weekend I was trying to set up this play tent that T got from his aunt and uncle for Christmas. I was muttering something along the lines of "I can't WAIT until they have kids so I can get them things like stupid tents." T says "What's a 'stupid tent?'" I was trying to think of how to answer since I've told him repeatedly that "stupid" is not a nice word, when he goes "OH! I know what a 'stupid tent' is! One that you don't know how to set up!" ;D He's got my number all right! ;D ;D
