"The Ugly Americans Are Back" (Yahoo Article)

Swimmers are way too vanilla and hairless.

ITA! Gawd I thought I was the only one that likes some chest hair.

There is nothing less sexy than a good looking guy who is dumber than a box of hair. Give me a skinny nerd over a big, hunky, althlete any day.

I dated one who was always telling me that eating tomatoes was good for my prostate. No, I am not a guy.

They have to be cooked tomatoes.

The skinny nerds can have their WTF moments too! Got into a hilarious er, discussion with my fiance over why washing bananas before you peel them is a useless endeavor.

Lesser gay alert!

I had dinner with Mark and his parents one night-He droned on about how I needed to eat tomatoes for my prostate, and his Brooklyn Italian parents yelled "Maaahhk! Ya stupid friggin goombah! She's a lady! She ain't got no prostate". Mama took me aside to explain how he was really dumb, but he was a good boy with a good job. He was indeed pretty and good hearted, but so dumb that it was impossible. Unlike Lochte, not a douchey bone in his body, but still impossible.

Something about a British guy in shiny boots making a horse jump over really high fences is way, way sexier than any of the swimmers, IMO.

I have to say. I love nerds. Nerds are my type. All of the significant men in my life have been nerds.

But occasionally, cute but dumb is just fine. I'd still hit that.

[Mayra]

I would add Phelps to that list. I do find him rather attractive.

I suppose I could close my eyes and think of London. Or Athens. Sydney if the going gets tough.

Oh yes, chest hair rules!

The writer is from Canada, right? Must be hard to swallow if your country is irrelevant.

I hear some of them use public swimming pools as their personal urinal!!!

Read this thread this morning and had a chuckle...

The articles about Lochte had me x100. I usually don't watch interviews with athletes except the occasional football player because that's what gets on tv around here, and I usually don't regret it.
The thing with guys like these is that they have lousy feedback systems, seriously, who is going to turn to a good-looking high achiever and call him on his bullshit? I've seen this happen with regular guys so I can only imagine it gets a lot worse when you climb up the ladder. In a way I feel sorry for them, no one is pretty faced forever and one day their lack of basic filters will bite them in the you know what.

I sincerely hope you're not American, because if so, you're an awful representative.

Talk about a lack of filters. Think before you open your mouth, Michael.

This American LOVES Canada. I'm kind of a Canadian wannabe, especially as the uber conservatism/American "exceptionalism" thing sweeps certain parts of the USA. Every time I've visited Canada I'm struck by how nice people are there.

Just don't strike up a conversation about women's soccer next time you're there.

Football is so that it corrupts even famous Canadian niceness
