Doper Men, what has Queer Eye taught you

And ladies too I guess.
I’ve only seen a couple of episodes of this show, because Tuesdays are crammed full of too many other shows, but I’m always learning something (usually about skin care). Last night, I was amazed at the simplicity but brilliance of “don’t emulsify the facial cleanser too much in your hands, because then you’re just washing your hands”. Brilliant! I’m always one to really get my facial cleanser nice and foamy in my hands, rather than on my face.

THANKS QUEER EYE!

The word “Zhuzh” (sp?). :smiley:

Actually, the thing that one of them (Thom?) said that’s been bugging be (because it applies to me), was something about clutter meaning that person doesn’t have control of their life. I know I’m mis-quoting, but it was something like that. I just saw the episode this weekend on Bravo, it was the one with the 6’+ divorced dad…Ted? I’m bad with names. But the comment struck home.

That I have entirely too much time on my hands.

I think it’s actually made me realize it’s alright to care about your appearance. Not that I do, of course. And that our apartment would give the Fab Five a heart attack.

I’ve learned that there are some seriously clueless morons out there. I believe one episode they had to teach some 30 year old guy how to tie a tie. My God! My dad taught me when I was 12. And if he hadn’t, my mom would have.

I’ve also learned that if I were to go on that show, it would do me no good. For one, I would never keep up what they tell me. For another, I would never wear that stuff in the first place. I was in H&M the other day with my female and I was walking by stuff in the mens’ area thinking, “This is the sort of thing the Queer Eye guys would try to make me wear and I would be utterly repulsed by it.”

On the other hand, I do like what they do with the homes so it would be nice to get a free interior design and some new stuff. Either them or Monster House.

They’d probably tell you to take down that wretched Green Bay Packer wall paper. :wink:

It shows me that I’ve got a lot to do.

Moi? Packer wall paper? You are such an odd duck. Where did you get the idea that I’m a cheesehead.

Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the Brett Favre Experience while he was in his prime and I do have a soft spot in my heart for them, but other than that…

My walls are actually a nice, sterile white.

I could have SWORN you were a Packer Backer. I apologize profusely. PROFUSELY for wrongingly pegging you.

I’ve learned that although I view my own life as a disaster area that could be tidied up with a hand grenade there are others with less clues.

I have always had, however, a personal fashion Polaris. My older sister shops with me for clothes, and it’s like I’m cheating. She says, “Women will like you in that”, and “Women won’t like you in that”, and off I run to the register.

The Queer Eye has taught me that some men have apartments or houses that look like what I lived in when I was 25. Ecch. Hard to believe, huh?

I learned not to be afraid to try cooking fish at home. :slight_smile:

Some folks will endure a lot of criticism from strangers if they know they’ll get a free sofa for it.

What I’d like to learn is how much money they spend per episode. Definitely no $1,000 limit on this show!

That in the New York City area, a guy can be a total cheapskate schlub and still get attractive women to sleep with him.

I have learned that there are always parking spaces available on the streets of New York for large SUVs, anytime you want to park in front of a clothing store, a home furnishings store, or a restaurant.
