    The reason womens' mags focus on looks is because for women looks alone will do the job of attracting men.

    The reasons mens' mags focus on looks for men(which they do, make no mistake) but on other stuff as well is becaue in addition to looking good men need to do all the other things to get anywhere with women. It seems to me that women read fashion mags because they like them, not because they feel forced to do so in order to acquire what they need to be attractive.
