guys waiting for their haircut appointment at the fancy spas their wives send them to.

At least that's my observation.

I subscribe to.

Whore! is brand-spanking new and "explores important facets of culture, sexuality, ascendancy, shame, history, and the right to be."  http://www.whoremagazine.net/whore_magazine/Whore!_Home.html
It will certainly appeal to both men and women here.

I've never read the women's magazines often found near the checkout counter.  I think I read Seventeen a handful of times as a tweener and even in my youth I realized it was hogwash.  "How to Know if He Really Likes You" or "How to Look a Model."  Blegh.  I started reading Omni instead.

Since providers aren't considered women in the standard sense...

... they couldn't be included in the demographic of women who read women's magazines. They are more likely to read Maxim, GQ, or Playboy.

Now, hobbyists? Well... that's a bit different. Since they either loath all women or suffer from an oedipus complex, most read women's magazines regularly, but don't admit it, which skews the statistics.

Doh!

how to get a man, how to keep a man, how to dump a man

Sometime advice is all mixed up

My fav was "if u want to met a man in NYC, stare at someone on subway for 11 seconds"

I think in NYC staring at someone for 11 seconds qualifies as crazy person stalking

Women's magazines are advertising vehicles that are used to capitalize off women's psychological insecurities.

I used to read women's magazines in middle school.  I was a big fan of the fellatio advice in "Cosmo."  



At this point in my life, I don't read women's magazines because they usually do not teach me anything I do not already know.  I already know how to take care of my skin, put on lipstick, and touch boys on the arm, when I talk to them.

However, I do read books... often.  I even read www.askmen.com sometimes.  I read magazines about culture.  I used to subscribe to "$PREAD," the magazine by/for sex workers.  I also secretly read online tabloids.  I don't mind reading about Lindsay Lohan FOR FREE, but I'm definitely not paying for that, you know what I mean?  

I hope it's OK to mention an older post about the magazine "$pread" about the industry.
