FHM. It's a guy thing!

FHM is 10 years old. FHM December 2009 (issue 120) celebrated this iconic South African media brand's first decade.

The FHM reader is a man having the time of his life. FHM is aimed at affluent South African men aged between 18 and 30, who enjoy reading about and discussing the interesting, somewhat crazy and often weird things in life such as dangerous jobs, influential people, entertainment options and lots of gadgets, adventure and other guy things, as well as, of course, the world’s sexiest women. FHM delivers its trademark irreverent sexy, funny, useful and relevant content through the medium of humour, therefore it never takes itself seriously, is mostly self-deprecating and prides itself on being local in voice and tone.

FHM is a magazine for men, about men. FHM celebrates women and passes the girlfriend test. FHM is a trusted media brand that delivers a shortcut to the future. FHM isn't disposable.

Fashion is a core pillar of FHM. Guys who read FHM always find practical and aspirational fashion and grooming information and advice. Fashionable accessories, the best retailers and trends are featured in FHM and readers can always shop directly from its pages.

Certain aspects of FHM are a bit more serious, such as its popular fashion and sport sections, delivering content in an environment relevant to readers and advertisers. FHM has built significant credibility in the areas of music, movies and gaming, offering exclusive South African access to the latest and best of these genres.

FHM is interactive, involving its readers throughout the printed magazine, online and through mobile, as well as for specific campaigns such as FHM 100 Sexiest, FHM Motoring Awards, FHM Models 2010, FHM Guy Awards and FHM Fashion and Grooming Awards.
