The term 'How are you doing" means exactly that. The person is asking how your life is going. You can choose to tell them everything is fine; you may have gone on a trip and could talk about that; you may have broken up with your mate (that's up to you whether you want to tell them anything about that event); and so on. Most people simply say 'Fine' simply because they don't want to burden the other person with their personal problems. If the person that is asking how you are doing is a good friend then you should feel free to tell them what has been happening in your life, but, that's entirely up to you. According to the Radio Hostess Wendy Williams in New York City, "how you doing ?" has been made popular as a phrase that is used in a subtle manner that discloses the possible characteristic of being gay or lesbian. If it is acknowledge by the person who answers the question then the answer is yes or maybe I am gay or lesbian. The response to the question " How you doing"? is usually "All right" with emphasis on yes I am.
