Anyone get this one regularly?
I've been getting it for a few years, and lately, it seems to be going downhill. The magazine just keeps getting more and more 'feminine'; it shocks me when I open it up to see an article urging me to buy 15 skin-care products so I don't get wrinkles. I'm like "WTF?!" I thought this was a magazine about men and how to get women, not how I should be using anti-wrinkle cream/night-time face masks?!
Add to that the political bias that keeps showing thru (eg - recent article: "The new healthcare bill is GREAT - you get vaccines and everything FREE!!" - apparently they never heard of Economics 101 - "There's no such thing as a free lunch". Somewhere along the line, everything needs to be paid for)
I'm looking for a different magazine, hopefully one that doesn't try to feminize men or push skin care products, but I can't find out. Much as I'm annoyed by MH, they still have some nice work-out articles, and I like their cooking articles, though I hate their general sense of clothing style - it's like they expect everyone to dress like they work in a NY fashion shop; half their style recommendations are geared towards the yuppie set, and only a small part is geared towards those who dress conservatively (eg - suits/tie).
Anyone else have any thoughts/recommendations?

Lately I've been trying a few different magazines; Esquire seems to be ok, thought I've only read 2 or 3 of their latest, so I can't really tell what they're like just yet
