"How Does That Make You Feel?"
I thought of a ‘gimmick’
I have a dear friend who teases me about my line of work by often replying in our conversations with ‘And how does that make you feel?”.
Many folks think that is what I say all day long - that is ALL I say all day long.
Actually I don’t use that expression at all, particularly with men. Men (especially straight ones) have been badgered all their life to ‘get in touch with their feelings’ and for most of them they are clueless how. If they knew ‘how they feel’ they wouldn’t be in my office. Men feel of course, but for most it is not in the usual lexicon readily accessible by most women. It is language matter. Rather than asking “how does that make you feel?” to some reported situation, I ask ‘how did you experience that?”. Often I get the exact responses as if I asked “how did it make you feel?”
I bring up a topic and you give the responses.
You were recently abducted by aliens but they didn’t subject you to a humiliating physical examination. Instead gave you a complete fashion make over and a good hair cut and reordered your kitchen – no one believes you.

Like I was abducted by Aliens...
LOL.
I think I would consider myself, damn lucky!
The thought of an anal probe...well bad example ;)
I like this new topic on Thursday idea.
Hope you're ready for the weekend :)
Who cares how it makes me feel that they don't believe me--how good did I end up looking after the make-over and is my kitchen all stainless steel? Those two things alone would make me feel GREAT!!
Totally humiliated... to think that I was not gay enough to pick my own clothes, get my hair styled and decorate my own kitchen... I would have to turn in my card after that one!
LOVE this idea - can't wait until next Thursday!
Okay...that's weird. Spider and I are of the same school of thought. I was going to say I'd feel like a bad faggot for not having any fashion sense or style.
I do have to say they'd be hard pressed to reorder my kitchen though. I just remodeled last summer and it's fagtastic!
For the moment I fell really upset that no one believes me, but they will. When the next episode airs, all my friends will see me thanking the five aliens while they watch me on a big screen tv from another location. And I get dreamy hug from Jai. Oh, wait. You mean those five are not aliens!?
Love it, I would keep it as our little secret and take all the credit for it and let the aliens pay for all the new gear!
I could use the new clothes, I need a haircut and my kitchen is a mess because I just moved so I'd be damn happy about the situation. As far as no one believing me, I'd pass it off as my own doing so it wouldn't be an issue.
I'm gay and I'd love it.
New clothes and kitchen. No extra charge.
And as for believing me, they would, how else explain the return of my disfunctional hair? lol
You mean there are Gay aliens? How cool! I love that thought.
I've often wondered if the 5 fellows from "Queer Eye" were actually from outer space.
well if they cut my hair, I think they would know I was abuducted by aliens, cause I don't have hair on my head.
This sounds like a great idea, I like it.
It makes me feel totally insulted that the aliens don't like the color of my hair, my eyelids OR my kitchen window treatments. Dammit, this is America, where I am allowed to decide these things for myself.
