"Women reportedly constitute the biggest audience for the program"

Yes, my wife likes Queer Eye. I was highly skeptical. I thought it would be a much better idea for a man to get necessary instructions from a woman or from a successful heterosexual man. However, after watching a few episodes of this, I must admit that they gay guys have helped the straight guys and have been very nice about it.

Having lived in some cities with a lot of homosexuals, I have become adept at picking them out. It isn't that they are necessarily effeminate (although the ones with boobs and lipstick are). They emanate a sick self-centeredness - their awareness is bent back upon their own appearance and (gack) sexuality - it's like a subtle stink that permeates the air around them. Their consciousness is focused on their butts.

A normal man isn't obsessed or that concerned with his appearance. If he's searching for a mate, he tries to look good, and there are exceptions to this as well. (Usually predator type men who use and discard women.) A normal man's attention is on what he is doing, where he is going, his thoughts and plans, and if he's attracted - it's to a woman.

Homosexuals, OTOH, are attracted to their own sex organs. Their attention is withdrawn into their own bodies, and it is a very subtle yet noticeable thing. It is also sick, and sad, and if normal men want to emulate them, they won't be normal for long. No normal woman wants a relationship with someone who is obsessed with appearance and "style".

They'll probably get the kind of shallow women they deserve.

I like it, too. The guys are very good at what they do, and I love their humor. ("Guns don't kill people. Bad fashion does!")

Hell, I wish someone would sit me down and tell me how to order wine, what skin products I should use and send me off to the mall why they redecorate my house.

I've seen it twice, and the gay guys are very happy when the made-over guy's girlfriend or wife is pleased with the results.
