Casual appraisal of Ryan Lochte makes me think he's a grade-A douchebro.

I sort of thought it was odd that his mom would tell the press that he has a lot of one-night stands, but I figured a) maybe she just meant dates or b) maybe she's aware of casual sex and one-night stands generally and assumes that if her son's into that, as long as it's

I find the whole thing weird. But men are allowed to have one-night stands. Women are not. Or something. And women with daughters should know that.

My mother is just oblivious like that, I'm a charmer.

>:/ Because those guys who are having one-night stands are all doing it with the same "bad" girl, right?

[mimiheart]

Well, no there's like five bad girls. They come from bad families with mothers who don't know what their daughters do. Proper girls keep a quarter between their knees at all times.

Oh, a quarter? I thought it was an aspirin. :)

I'm assuming you read the Jezebel piece too?

And then twitter informed me this morning that Lochte admitted to some interviewer to peeing in the Olympic pool.

Just ick. Not even a one-night stand. Too big a douche, and presumably unable to just shut up even when it would be best for him.

I did read the Jezebel piece. But I suspected he was a douche before, and the interview with JMac confirmed it. The Jezebel countdown was icing.

Ugh, gross. That's okay from a 3-yr-old. Not from a grown-ass man.

ETA: Michael Phelps may or may not be a douchebro, I don't know. Although he def has questionable taste and lacks (lacked?) common sense in some situations. But I was rooting SO HARD for him to win the 200 fly yesterday, just because he was swimming against Lochte. I wanted him to deliver a smack-down.

The piece Jezebel did made me laugh a lot because it seems sort of spot on after the clips they've done of him outside of the swimming atmosphere.

[asimplechord]

Exactly - it wasn't revelatory, but it was hilarious to see all that ~evidence gathered in one spot.

I have no idea who you're talking about, but out of the people I know? The girls are more likely to be the one-night-standers.

Dude peed in the Olympic pool, or so he said to Ryan Seacrest. IDK, he was supposed to be the next big thing now that Michael Phelps is retiring from competitive swimming, but he seems to have flopped somewhat.

[why_me_why_not]

Really? I mean... REALLY? Ugh. That's pretty douchetastic.

Not really related to Lochte, but I read this article the other day regarding peeing the pool...apparently it's common? I don't know.

I am just a crotchety old person who thinks that grown-ass adults should behave a bit better than that. Also, given how they all swish and spit pool water, that's just gross.

[mudd248]

Yea, I don't like the idea either. Although I can understand being nervous, and if a full bladder is going to be the difference between getting a medal or not...I'd probably be peeing too.
