Queer Eye for the Straight Woman

Postby housecat » 19 Jan 2005, 23:28

I like that show and not only because the guys take these total dumps of human beings and make them look like a first prize catch, but also because they usually give some great advice to the guys about girls and how to understand/please/get along with them. They seem to have more insight into women and relationships the same way they have more insight into fasion.

So, I was wondering what, if any, advice a gay guy might have for us women about our straight men. Seems to me that a gay guy might just have a unique perspective, being a guy himself.

Thanks!

I take it you are not asking about fashion, but more about emotions. I can go on and on about fashion no-nos and how soon to run or cringe when you see a faux pas, but I think you are asking about love advice.

For starters, if the guy doesn't ask you questions about your life, yourself, your interests, he is is too caught up in himself and not worth you asking him about his life, himself, or his interests. This applies to both potential mates and friends. If he has any interest in being just a friend or more, he would be interested in you and ask you questions. A person who is all about me-me-me is not interested in anyone else but.

:bravo: I love that show too. It is the only TV program that my girlfriend and I regularly sit and watch!

I get the urge to tell friends I know to watch this show because they need a damn good scrub up.

Probably a good way to lose a friend though.

This show holds for me the same amount of interest that Survivor did. It's ok to watch but when it's over, or not offered, I won't miss it much.

What I would like to see is the guys returning to a house, six months later to see how and if the straight guy has reverted to his previous cromagnon state.

I can imagine the blond gay guy pulling his hair, spinning in circles hysterically saying, "Oh my gooooooooood! What HAVE you done???"

They do that. They had a Christmas special where they invited 5 made-overs to their swanky pad for some cheer. Let's go to the tape:

Each one of the fab five did a surprise drop in complete with camera crew to see how the lads were faring. For the most part, they had really made significant changes to their lifestyle. I think just one guy had let his closet revert back to the dinge most of us call storage. Of course, it was the blond guy who discovered it.

As for advice from gay guys to straight girls, HA!

I am reminded of that scene in Sex and the City where Samantha decides to have a 3P with 2 gay guys. As the work their way down to her nether regions, the catch a whiff of that oh so delectable aroma, and BANG:

"Let's go for some frozen yogurt."


So, you see girls, gay guys make great non-threatening companions for the theatre or weddings, but when it comes to the down and dirty of het-love, Forumosa is the only media I would trust for the low down skinny on what keeps us breeder boys sated.

Yeah, that's why I was asking the gay guys. All you straight boys ever think of or talk about is how to get someone to suck you off! That's what I like about the QEFTSG show, that the gay guys often have real advice for you straight boys on how to go about getting someone to suck you off in a way that will make the women much more receptive you and not just offended.

Well, is that putting it bluntly enough?

And here's my little rant on the "F**kable" trend. The first 50 times I read that word it didn't really bother me, but now it's as if you all are trying to out do eachother by being the one to say it the most times. Give it a rest already. Be creative. Just for fun, why don't we see how many different ways you can come up with to express the same meaning as "f**kable."

"Fuckable" pretty much completely captures the essence of the idea/notion that the word is supposed to convey.

I don't see any good reason to look for a better or alternative word. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush... or something like that.
As it is, we seem to regard it as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has taken one side or the other. We regard it (in other words) as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has contrived to reach the object of his reasoning. We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.
