Scrawny male models looking like moody tosssers

You couldn't make this stuff up: "FQ Magazine, The essential dad mag" and web strapline "Parenting magazine for new dads and single dads."
Why would new dads and single dads be grouped together, I wonder? Why does the promising link "Bloke's Guide to Pregnancy" http://www.fqmagazine.co.uk/blokes-pregnancy-guide-10.aspx take you to a dead end? Are they trying to tell me something?

The webmag version looks pretty good (click in the middle of the home page http://www.fqmagazine.co.uk/default.aspx), full of smart-looking articles. It must the devil's job filling a magazine like that every month, and full marks to the editor and team. (Can you tell I used to edit magazines? I share the pain.) It almost makes me want to buy a real copy, even if the fashion part is stuffed with pictures of scrawny male models looking like moody tosssers.

Is there a Grumpy Old Men magazine?
