it's fun to reverse genders on this one. imagine the husband is the schlub and the wife a clothes-horse. what a stretch.
so some lesbians in a lesbian bar send the pair a drink. i predict:
1. schlubby hubby is BESIDE HIMSELF with glee.
2. wifey either plays gay to please him or she's true to her het self. the latter is unlikely, given that she's taken her hubby to a lesbian bar, and let's please be honest about het men and lesbians and the pressure on straight women to think of england and kiss a girl, shall we?
but in neither case do the hordes beat up on wifey and accuse her of playing cruel games. no. in the gender-reversed scenario, a het wifey who plays lesbian is a real treasure and a joy to all.
and if she wanted hubby to dress better, she'd buy him the clothes. so buy her the clothes, mr. metrosexual. she hates to shop, and that's just as valid as if she were a dude and you were a fake lesbian.
