Magazines? Who still reads them?

So, I was at a bar last night talking to a girl and she asked me what, at the time, I thought was a pretty strange question. She asked me what magazines I subscribed to, and when I asked her why she said it was a good way to get a sense of my likes and dislikes. I thought it was wierd but then later when I was thinking about it it sorta made sense. So, do any of you SE folks subscribe to magazines, or is print journalism dead? I myself subscribe to Details, The Atlantic, Wired, Geek, GQ, National Geographic, Wizard and Daily Variety. Im not sure that tells you anything about me other than I'm a dork, but hey.
I didn't even know what the fuck and avitar was until about 5 minutes ago.

I don't know why
Actually I love watching TMZ, too, so I guess that's pretty accurate.
but it's being sent back home
so my brothers probably read it
w.. why wouldn't you
GQ is pretty awesome, there are some really well done articles in there on occasion. Also hot women.
Because it's much more like a newspaper.
it's a great mag though
i'd subscribe to other stuff if i cared to dump money into that.
my dad gets Car and Drive and Motor Trend though, but only because he got a good deal.
Yeah, I wasnt sure what to consider Variety since it comes every business day, but the internet tells me it is in fact a magazine.
i look at it on the toilet
this is some snooty shit
I should have clarified that I attempt to read it. I have a hard time caring about why the most recent election in Great Britain might affect their inflation rate by 0.2%, so I end up skipping large-ish sections.
I used to get Wired, and enjoyed it
it's too bad that :roll: doesn't work anymore.
some day

all just letting them accumulate in your garage until you reach a tipping point, when you donate them to goodwill.
i used to flip through a bunch of photo magazines at my old job. a surprising amount of nude photos. tastefully done. and sexy.
Also that costs monies and stuff.

I dont think Ive ever paid more than 10 bucks for a subscription, with the exception of Variety which is hella spensive. Also, I use my skymiles a lot since I have a ton banked and only use them to upgrade myself to first class.
I'm probably just going to let my Maxim subscription run out. Such a shitty magazine.
I used to have a subscription to Game Informer but then I realized how full of shit "gaming journalism" or the "gaming media" is and how you are paying for advertising, basically
I got a subscription to PC Gamer this past year, but only because one of my younger cousins was peddling magazines at a family reunion. One of those things where if he sells enough his school gives him fabulous prizes and if he doesn't sell enough he loses his cafeteria privileges.
It's really amazing how far downhill that magazine has gone since the last time I subscribed to it...which was, incidentally, the last time I was peddling magazines for my school in exchange for cafeteria privileges. I don't know if the internet is killing the magazine trade or what, but PC Gamer is ridiculously slender and about 75% advertisements by volume these days.
yeah, the economist's obituary is pretty consistently fascinating
