Esquire

Based on browsing through the one copy left in the men's room, Esquire is a pretty crappy, juvenile magazine.

I'm not much on the cheesecake stuff or the hoo-rah war stories, but they have good fashion advice (much more practical for the average man than GQ) and excellent food writing.

Oh, and I am not a huge fan of their music coverage but that's because I'm an old fart and I don't dig what the kids are listening to nowadays.

Esquire was always problematic, but they've gotten notably more juvenile in the past decade or two to compete with lad mags like Maxim.

I haven't read it lately, but...what they said. It didn't used to be crappy and juvenile, though it had some moments. But the lad mags certainly changed the market.
