Finally, here is a magazine that tells men what they are doing wrong in bed, what to wear, how to act on a date and the numerous other social graces that women constantly complain guys lack. Does it mean that men are more insecure? Who cares! At least they won't wear that awful outfit anymore! And if Maxim is successful from a woman's perspective, it may have men heading...
