Easy answer is that i&#8217;d like to be a guy for one day. I&#8217;m quite happy being who I am, but it would be great fun to experience being male.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I&#8217;d have to put all sorts of qualifiers on that. No drug addicts or alcoholics allowed, and preferably not a guy who is gay. After all, what I want to\u00a0 experience is a day as a straight male, the opposite of me.<\/p>\n<p>Since I&#8217;m using the process of elimination, I&#8217;ll stipulate i don&#8217;t want to switch with a guy under the age of 21. I want to remain a full-fledged adult. and healthy, please.<\/p>\n<p>That still leaves what, about a third or more of the world&#8217;s population? So, to make it easier, let&#8217;s add in he needs to speak English. I don&#8217;t want to assume that knowledge of a different language comes with the switch.<\/p>\n<p>What else? Oh, I don&#8217;t want it be be anyone famous. What a pain that would be. Nope, don&#8217;t want to deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>So, that leaves me with a faceless male between the ages of 21 and 100. There&#8217;s still a lot of narrowing down to be done. Just because, I&#8217;ll say he&#8217;s either a writer or a techie. Now the field is getting smaller. And it can&#8217;t be anyone I know. Too complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Now we&#8217;re getting somewhere. I don&#8217;t want to ruin this guy&#8217;s life forever, so I&#8217;ll stipulate that I can call in with a vacation day (as him) without getting him into trouble. That means he doesn&#8217;t have any urgent project deadlines in the next week or so. (Hey, if I&#8217;m going to take over his body, at least I can be considerate!)<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m starting to have fun. So, let&#8217;s make this guy a little on the sexist side. Not an all-out-misogynist, but a guy who might learn something from being in a woman&#8217;s body for a day. (We are switching places, right?)<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ve narrowed it down far enough. So, here&#8217;s to you, faceless Google drone. (That&#8217;s where I decided he works!) Enjoy your day away from the normal chaos. I hope you are up for an adventure.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2486 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/avatar-2024924_1280-300x300.png?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/avatar-2024924_1280.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/avatar-2024924_1280.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/avatar-2024924_1280.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/avatar-2024924_1280.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/avatar-2024924_1280.png?resize=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/avatar-2024924_1280.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s find out who the rest of the authors are switching with!<\/p>\n<p>Midnight bonus question: If you make love to the partner of the person you swapped places with, is it cheating?<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"inlinkz-widget\" data-uuid=\"ea762ac8b16945faaa406d4027eb05d5\" style=\"width:100%;margin:30px 0;background-color:#eceff1;border-radius:7px;text-align:center;font-size:16px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif\">\r\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\"><p style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\">You are invited to the <strong>Inlinkz<\/strong> link party!<\/p>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/fresh.inlinkz.com\/p\/ea762ac8b16945faaa406d4027eb05d5\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"padding:5px 20px;background:#209cee;text-decoration:none;color:#efefef;border-radius:4px;\">Click here to enter<\/a><\/div><\/div>\r\n<span style=\"display: none;\"><script async=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/fresh.inlinkz.com\/js\/widget\/load.js?id=7a6562a45a54ba05f0a0\"><\/script><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 8, 2019 If you could trade lives with anyone for just one day, who would it be and why?
