You may need to keep an open mind when first making your way over to Husbands & Dads, a new site which had its officially launched this week. It’s not the most visually exciting place on the Web to visit. But it is a small startup looking to fill the space “a notch above” your run-of-the-mill men’s mag, at least in terms of subject matter, and it is actually quite interesting if taken seriously.
Of course, it likely would’ve been more apt for the creators of Husbands & Dads to take a stroll down Public Release Lane back in June, when the specially-named day of the patriarch had actually been celebrated. But what’s done is done. And if you’re of the sort that considers every day the day of the dad and a woman’s other half, Husbands & Dads might be your thing.
Most every bit of Husbands & Dads is intended to deliver on the site’s title. From the front page to the various sections to the user forums, everything it carries holds well to its core theme. Nothing like what AskMen, Maxim, FHM, Men’s Health, GQ and others provide. Here, things on the whole are very much aboveboard. If the wife isn’t one to offer on your birthday a copy of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit collection, she likely wouldn’t mind stumbling into your home office unannounced and see you trawling this place.
