Men's Health and Nuts

This magazine seems to demonstrate male superiority.  The man has his arm around the woman, which suggests that he is in the dominant role.  The text helps confirm this.  "Strength!  Fitness!  Power!" suggests that masculinity comes with some sort of power or ability.  The line "One month to a body she can't resist" suggests that women are incapable of resisting sexual desire when it comes to men.  However, the woman looks confident rather than helpless, and she is holding onto the man's arm as well, which may suggest more of a shared role between them, such as the type you may see among the new man.



This magazine shows some male narcissism, as the man looks confident and a male audience will try to identify themselves with him and will aspire to become more like him.
