I don't hate Ryan Lochte

[Deleted]

I think his douchness is a bit endearing.

This could be because I am a huge Florida gator fan and I like watching him in Gainesville which was also my stomping ground of my youth. I have been to most of the bars that he has been in on this show. Lol.

But still. He is kind of funny. He has no game with the ladies. I'm sure he gets laid alot still though.

Watching him talk about his family made me look at him different.

I find him to be doopy dog adorable.
His show is sadly very boring though. I wanted so badly to like it. JEAH!

I don't hate him, but I don't find him endearing either. He's just so amazingly DUMB.

I haven't watched the show, but I've been a fan since Athens. I guess I find the douchyness endearing as well.

I still roll my eyes at Tebow stuff a lot though, even though my time at UF overlapped with him as well. So I don't love everyone automatically for being a gator.

I wouldn't hate him if he kept his mouth shut.

Yeah. I'd only need it open at certain times.

I find it immoral to hate those with intellectual disabilities.

Aw. I love tebow. Dh was at every single one of his home games. I went to most of them.

That probably deserves to be in a flameful. Lol.

How dumb he is used to annoy me.

I now find it hilarious and endearing.

It doesn't hurt that he's hot.

When he works out and swims. OMG.

You can tell he is in his element.

[MWOS]

I think he'd be fun to smoke a bong with.

Like all the things he says not that aren't funny and don't make any sense? Fuckin hilarious if you're stoned.

I don't find him attractive. I guess that makes me weird, but whatever.

He grew up in the same place I did and we went to the same high school. He is pretty typical of the guys here. lol

aaaannnnddd took his clothes off.

[eddy]

Also he would have totally been my type when i was 19. TOTALLY

[open24hours]

I've watched one episode of his show. He gave his mom a new car at the end which was really sweet. He also seemed to show some recognition that he's not all that bright. So, I like the endearing puppy metaphor posted upthread - adorably cute and stupid.

[bella427]

Maybe I'll watch his new show on mute.

I love seeing him swimming and working out. It reminds me that, jeah, he's dumb as a rock, but he's an elite, world champion athlete. Isn't that all that matters?

[jennysmitten]

Do you think he knows he's dumb? Or do you think he is blissfully ignorant? Maybe he knows he is dumb, but does he know just how dumb?
