Magazines aren't just delightful bits of paper to read they are statements of tribes. People by them to join a gang. They feel part of something, and people can judge each other by the magazines they read.
Would you feel quite the same about someone if you found them browsing The Spectator, Socialist Worker or Triple X Grannies?
This is even more compounded because these magazines now have their websites for dating. Some of my friends have had real success on them, I know one chum who now has a husband and a baby thanks to the Guardian dating website. I've got another pal who is using the dating website on The Onion because that's the sort of chap she would like to meet.
I'm not sure which magazine would have the right sort of readership for me. I suppose the closest is Chap Magazine but even that fine periodical isn't an exact match. They don't talk nearly enough about motorbikes even if their cravat news coverage is spot on.
