The Advice You Get From "Man's Magazine" GQ Mostly Comes From Women

I don't know what to make of GQ, the self-proclaimed "man's magazine," publishing so much advice/guidance/opinion from women.

Today (February 18, 2020)  you'll see on GQ's splash page articles by Sophia, Sophie, Emily, Danielle, Gabriella, Sable, Rachel and Caroline. Are half the writers at GQ's sister magazine, Vogue, men? Of course not.

I habitually reject most of GQ's men's fitness advice regardless of the writer's gender. At least half of it comes from the keyboards of women, but no matter the source it is not useful, and sometimes it's just plain invalid. Since men overwhelmingly are interested in building impressive muscle, and women not, I reject the value of female writers' "fitness advice" to men, especially after having read so many poor examples.

Vogue's female readers might read an article by a man instructing them on how to walk in 5-inch stilettos, but something tells me the advice of another woman who actually spends hours every day walking in 5-inch stilettos, and proves her proficiency at it by your just watching her, would land a bit more authentically, and be taken more seriously. 

Used to be publications aggressively sought out proven experts in their field. Women advising men on how to build muscle is less than useful, just as fitness trainers who have no muscle/definition/tone (look around your gym to see what I mean) are absurd. Have you noticed how many so-called fitness experts on TV talk shows don't have an impressive hard toned physique, whatever their size, much less actual defined muscle, yet these are the class of posers that idiot producers invite on their shows? We live in a bizarro upside down world.

As a writer I understandably pay attention to such things, but as a fitness trainer and author, I really pay attention to all the static from writers who reveal their lack of knowledge and experience, as well as clueless department heads at TV shows and printed and online publications who, having no experience in fitness whatsoever themselves, choose to publish articles or validate posers' advice by booking them on their TV shows.
