oRyTi! The perfect man is the man every girl desires. He is every girls dream. But the ideal man is hard to find. How do you know the perfect man anyway?
i'm curious. would this ad inspire anybody to actually subscribe to GQ? has anybody who says they like it actually ever read GQ? or does the ad sort of work disconnected from GQ? Esquire is still, mor eo rless, about promoting the james bond image and meat-eating masculinity (norman mailer-esque masculinity). GQ has been changing its image, to be more, well, indie, more williamsburg/silver lake. but esquire, as far as i know, is the more successful magazine these days. thoughts?
The adult in me reads Esquire for credible journalism and quality editorial, but the kid in me reads GQ for fashion and a guy's-guy grasp on pop culture.
To be fair, GQ does the editorial thing fairly well, while Esquire is miserable when it comes to fashion (Dockers? Really?) and pop culture (I know who Jack White is, thanks.)
I've been on the fence, but I can honestly say this fantastic ad helped push me into GQ's corner. I still read both, but I'd sooner go a month without Esquire.
Yeah. I'm forty, and I used to be hip. But, now, I just want to be Cary Grant or Clive Owen (etc.). I mean, I just discovered The Killers (five years late). I think Esquire's style is aimed more at guys my age, and GQ more at guys in their 20's. I have no interest in Williamsburg/Brooklyn fashion (which has been featured a lot in GQ). (I lived there for years. Uggh).
And I really like Chiraella's articles. I like his writing.
I think the GQ ad alienates me a bit, because I train a lot (running and lifting), and the ad seems to mock athleticism.
Esquire features actors in their 30's and 40's (RDjr, Damon, Affleck, Bale), while GQ presents younger actors (Tatum). Also, rom what I gather, Esquire is much more laddish in its veneration of women. I love seeing Biel and Beckinsale in it (and I love the mag's taste in women). GQ seems less, well, horny. It's all very self-definitvely hetero and thirtysomething.
i do stay up on pop culture, but not music. i keep up on film, mostly. if middle age starts when a person loses interest in the music of now as a continuously evolving seismograph (and earthquake) of vital sentiment, then i'm middle aged. if it starts when one no longer cares passionately to be attractive to a thirty yr old woman, then i'm not. to me, Esquire is middle aged in the first respect, but not the second. Sound right?
That sounds about right to me, and I hear a lot of what your saying. I'm about to turn 30, so I too find GQ juvenile at times.
I'm not quite ready to take my cues from Cary Grant yet (a bespoke suit, assuming I could afford it, would be an affectation), but if I had to pick a style/manhood icon, it would probably be Paul Bettany.
You're right about the fitness aspect. I'm a CrossFitter, and I relate to nothing fitness-wise in either publication. And you're definitely right about the women.
bettany. cool. he's good. and his wife is a stanford babe. hard to beat that.
i'm not bespoke anything. 7 for all mankind paired with a theory blazer.
i have only a few cardinal rules of fashion, two of which are no skinny jeans (i have case pollard-like aversion to them) and no converse. when i see skinny jeans pop up in GQ's brooklyn fashion section, i back away with my hands in the air.
I think that some way, it's male humour. So what they are trying is to find some identification between potencial readers and the magazine. Since nobody needs to explain what is a GQ magazine. The intention is just to entertain men. That s the way a see this.
besides, i guess it's for india market. depending on the marketing, the focus is different, in russia for instance, society is much more "i hunt, you cook" maybe this ad would work for the GQ over there.

I'll take Esquire's taste in the ladies over GQ's fevered tarts any day.
But maybe that's just because my wife is a tad older than me.
