Is GQ magazine read by gentlemen?

I fear SO....... I found a copy in the Club's reading room.... I was a little taken back, on the style of writing.... I mean football, where in Europe is best for a shag, and the style section had no reference to top hats ????

I asked the local news vendor if he had a copy of NUTS, given my son's passion for conkering. PENTHOUSE for the recent attempted purchase of a pied d'attre in the city, and MAYFAIR, for the same reason..... But I was shocked at their content, but kept them in my study for reference....

PS loved the photo shoot you did..... but disappointed at the location of the staples....

No, do you have to be a chef to read "Bon appetit"?

GQ, is made for gentlemen, but is mainly focused towards 20-35 males, it does not try to discriminate, but does have articles that are meant to inform men on how to dress better.

Just becuase the guy dressed in a way that bothers you, does not mean he is not a gentlemen. He might be the nicest person you never met.

There is a good chance there is a man in a 3 peice dress suit reading the magazine, who would treat you like a peice of garbage.

Clothes dont make the man, which is another point GQ makes often.

The term 'gentleman' although also referring to one born into a life of privilege, can also be used as a somewhat optimistic generic term to refer to any male person.

As an example, just the other day I saw a drunken tramp dressed in rags being arrested as the policeman said 'Come along now sir, don't give us any trouble, there's a good gentleman'. Although I suppose it could have been the Marquess of Bath.

Your ladyship, magazines are often focii for dreams that have no basis in reality. I quit buying this mag years ago when it had some Lunatic Left political propoganda. I glance at it at the library occasionally, and I see it still has such "kuso". All too many mags try to force their personal opinions upon readers and act as if such dumb opinions are holy texts. I disagree with many fashion statements the mag makes anyhow. I wrote and illustrated a book about fashions, so I know more than dumb mags about the subject. Terence Rafferty viciously ridiculed bodybuilder-actor Steve Reeves in this mag shortly after his death. A true gentleman does not do such hateful things, publish it or read it without protest. It is dumb and immature men who wrongly believe reading such a mag make them gentlemen who read such a rag.

Doesn't GQ stand for Gentlemen's Quarterly ? So their readers are s'posed to be gentle men. Guess they'll be going bust pretty soon.

Your question is amusing. And yes "Gentleman" read this magazine. I peruse through the magazine, and at 25 dress like some of the guys on their. Although, with clothes costing a fraction of the cost of that Gucci suit.

What Is Gq

First of all, are you from the 1800s? You speak like an ignorant English man, and definitely not like a person in the year 2008. And for your information, anyone can read any magazine they want to, it's a free country and everyone is entitled to do what they please, no matter what they're wearing, or look like, for that matter. Just because a man was wearing jeans, it doesn't mean he is lower-class, or unworthy of reading a mens' magazine. I find it absurd how you are judging people you don't even know and making inaccurate assumptions about them that are most likely not even true in the first place.

GQ is read by the lower classes who aspire to reach the upper echelons of society. In reality it is I am reliably informed by my driver 'a poorly disguised wa*k mag' I have no idea of this terminology, but it sounds horrendous. I myself read Fox and Hound, Tatler, Razzle and Lifestyles of the rich and famous. It is gratifying to see myself in print.

I don't read it, as I live the lifestyle it purports to showcase anyway why should I have reason to?
