IPC Media has commissioned “MAGs”, a new research study exploring the behaviours, attitudes and aspirations of young men (aged 19-29 with no kids).
Themes from the research include -

They don't want to be stereotyped – they increasingly want to be viewed as individuals.

They are more keen to settle down and have a family than imagined – mass-market men place relationships, and even family, high on their agendas.

Their friends and family are centrally important to them - not just socially – from lending money to friends to looking after family, the research disproves the 'carefree' lads stereotype.

Drinking with mates is important, but not on week-nights - aware of their weekday commitments, from studying to working, Saturday night is the big night out for them.

Take care of their appearance - From fake tan, under-eye moisturiser and even foot cream…their appearance is more important than ever

Aware of their online presence – Social networking plays a massive part in their lives but they use it with caution

Magazines help shape their opinions - mass-market men are influenced by what they see and read – magazines offer them relevant and engaging on-the-go content keeping them culturally up to date.
