I'll be the first to say, that I am definitely okay with this.

Why? Because you hate women and disrespect men? Are you a hooker?

The first thing I would do is tell my mother to shut up. and I agree with you drmdmd

If you want him you can go to Gainesville, FL and go out at night to this grimy bar called 'grog house.' He's always there creepin' on freshman girls

How do freshman girls get into the bar?

Regardless of how your putrid mind believes he got into the White House, he is turning out to be one of the great Presidents of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

That is the funniest thing I've heard since Eshpgimenou saying he is no longer a pigmeou

Pigmenous run the world, not democrats

Kool aid Drinker

Obummer : He has turned out to be one of the biggest FAILURES in history. If you are too stupid to realize it I feel sorry for you!
Lochte's mother should not have said anything about him. Some great loyalty there saying her son is basically a man-***** and incapeable of a relationship. Too busy is one thing-sleeping with any thing that will say yes is another. I suppose that's o.k. for the moral-less young adults of today.

Hilarious. Obama wal elected in 2008, which is in the 21st century. He never was President in the 20th century. And he is clearly saping up to be among the worst Presidents EVER.

you're just saying that because you're racist -Bush is the one that ruined america. Obama is just picking up the pieces -oh yeah; he killed Bin Laden

That coming from someone who doesn't even know what century it is...

Why is it that anyone who says ANYTHING negative about President Obama is automatically a racist? If his only claim to fame is that he murdered someone who possibly should and could have been prosecuted in court... then I guess Jack Ruby is also a hero? (For the record, I am OK with Bin Laden being killed... but Obama was not the one who did the hard work there... the SEALs did! The way Obama is using this as a campaign ploy is SICKENING!)

You clearly don't know how to comprehend. What was said was that he is better than president's in the 20th and 21st century. Nothing was ever notioned that he was president in the 20th century. Second, if you look at all the mess ups that Bush did versus the fixings of Obama then you would see that he is doing a great job.

that's also coming from someone who doesn't know the correct grammar usage of your and you're (ahem satellitepilot).. typical obama voters. no education and no income...

Harry Truman, now regarded by historians as one of the top 5 presidents in history said it takes 35-50 years to really judge any president's tenure. Truman should know, as he left office with the lowest ever presidential approval rating, yes that includes Nixon and Bush #43.

As for Lochte, he just sounds stupid and pathetic. I cannot believe his mom A) knows about his escapades B) seems OK with it and C) TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT IT! I would be pissed at my mom.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! you are one of the greatest IDIOTS if you think that Obama is anything other than the absolute WORST President the US has had IN ITS HISTORY! You at this point have NO credibility, don't even bother responding to this. What a fool!

...and the facts say otherwise

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? And you base this opinion on WHAT?

Your a fricken idiot

I agree. He killed Bin Laden and Quadafi without a single American dying. He ended the war in Iraq. He revolutionized heathcare. He improved relations with other countries. He saved the economy. If he had not bailed out the banks and car companies, we would now be in a worse depression than in 1930.

Bush allowed 911 to happen on his watch. He got us in two wars, which killed 6,000 Americans. He desrtoyed the economy. He was a laughing stock to the rest of the world.

Um.... General Motors went BANKRUPT and the grandmas who owned the GM bonds were all SCREWED! And then he gave Queen Elizabeth and the British PM his favorite hits on CD and an iPod... yeah, that didn;t make Obama the laughing stock of the world! LOL

Um..... GM was in financial distress long before Obama got in office. In the words of Mitt Romney...'Let Detroit go bankrupt'. Republicans had a chance to help Detroit but let it falter. I believe Obama saved GM. So who do you hate? The iPod comment...well I could give you a thousand moronic comments made by Bush. He was shunned by most world leaders. LOL

You're kidding right? I don't recall Obama ever killing anyone. Many of our soldiers died trying to get bin laden and Libyan fighters killed Gaddafi with the support of the UN. The drawdown in Iraq started under Bush, Obama simply followed the timeline that had been established bythe Bush administration. Revolutionized healthcare? All he did was create a healthcare law that most people in the medical field have said will cause massive wait times in hospitals. In time it may prove to be one of the biggest mistakes ever. Oh and btw, it was based on someone else's healthcare law. Our reputation among other countries is the same as it has been. I'm really not sure who's economy he saved unless you're talking about all the stimulus money that has been sent to Chinese companies. I guess you're right about him helping their economy , but our economy sucks and is nowhere near being saved, in fact many economists are saying we may get worse before we get better. You may also want to look at who did the bank bailouts.......yep, that's right, Bush again. He did do the auto company one though, which explains why even after a bailout they still declared bankruptcy. Lastly, you must have psychic powers because the last time I checked, we can't see how things would have turned out without Obama "helping" our economy.

President Obama is our worst President since Johnson.



ANDREW Johnson!

By "great" do you mean worst? Everything he has done has been a complete failure.

You are such a tool. No one uses a birth cetificate as ID to gain entrance to a bar. You need a state issued picture ID or a military ID

Idiot

What is wrong with your sick minds that you can turn ANYTHING into a political statement? STFU you idiot.

stay on subject moron -you racist neanderthats are on the endagered species list

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber

no. Are you some judgemental astrophysicist?? no? then shut up! you have to reason hating someone for reasons you dont even know are true. I might as well say i hate you for assasinating lincoln. ya.

Why in the WORLD does "being OK" with what this article describes mean that BesAshell (above) hates women?? How does it mean that they disrespect men? What in the world are you TALKING about?
Lochte is far too busy for a relationship - so what? Isn't that HIS business?

Do you really think every single self-respecting woman is looking for a relationship everytime they meet someone? Well, I've got some tough news for you - they're not.

Don't try to throw some overly-moral, PC, women-are-constantly-victims twist to the story. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with any disrespect of women. He can't commit now - he's preparing to be an Olympic champ. He's doing pretty good so far.

"Lochte is far too busy for a relationship - so what? Isn't that HIS business?"

His big mouth mother made it our business

On of the root causes of sexual promiscuity in men is misogyny. Treating women as objects, disrespecting their human dignity. Unwilling to committ to a human adult relationship.
Humans have been forming families forever. The family is the oldest institution in the world. Part of the is in a committed monogmous relationship between a man and a woman who have children and both raise them.
Society benefts ffom this behavior and suffers from action that counteract and work against it.
That's why!

Why, and how are you okay with this?

I'm sorry......... how is he different from all the other guys in bars and clubs???
Pretty sure most aren't looking for a girl to marry. This article was a huge waste of
time to write or read!

TOTALLY. Because most girls that show up to the bars aren't looking for ego boosts from medicated men, free drinks or one night stands.. no they are looking for marriage. :) Ignorant stereotypical sexism.

Different becuase MOM is not advertising it! How'd you feel if your mommy was behind you saying stick it to her once and be done! Gross!!!!!!

Well too bad his mother isn't "telling him" to do anything. She's telling it like it is.
Big difference.

Except for most guys don't spend all their time hanging out in bars and clubs. When you go to a bar or club and you see a bunch of guys, do you really think this represents the majority of guys? No, the majority of guys aren't there because they have better things to do with their time. This guy is 27 ... I'd be concerned about the 'quality' (character) of a 27 year old guy still going clubbing.

Where are you from? Some small town in the middle of no where? There are alot of things to do after high school than just get married. People today are getting married later and later and some are just not getting married all together. I'm from a big city (Miami). I got married at 30 and so did most of my friends. Some are still single (were in our mid 30's now). Clubs aren't just for people in their early 20's. There are alot of clubs that cater to older crowds. He has other ambitions and he's doing what alot of guys wish they could.

A lot is two words, it's not: alot.

"A lot is two words" is a complete phrase and it would make more sense to terminate it with a semicolon (a comma can be used, but you would have to change the whole structure of the sentence). Also, you cannot terminate a sentence fragment with a colon.

"A lot is two words; it's not 'alot'."

If you are going to be a grammar nazi, make sure you use proper grammar yourself.

If you're comparing him to the 27 year old guys hanging out in bars and clubs looking for a fling then you are in agreement with most of the others posting comments here. The guy is a douche.

I totally agree....2 minutes we or the writer will never get back!!!

i second that

So sad, this is a swimmer I have been cheering on for quite some time. After seeing his grill and now reading this, my new USA favorite might have to become Nathan Adrian. He seems pretty down to earth. Never cared for Phelps due to his cocky attitude, but having your mom make these statements about her son, pretty disappointing!

Ditto...

Michael Phelps?...Cocky? You are wayyyyyyyyy off base there. I'm a Marylander who has watched Michale Phelps swim since age 15 and cocky is DEFINITELT not him. As a matter of fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Despite his God given talent & abilities that have made him one of the best athletics in history (like him or not); he is probably one of the most humble people that you will every meet. I hate when ppl pass judgment based on what they see or some personal unfounded reason. You should at least know someone b4 u slander their good name. Hater!

Could you imagine what he could do if he wasn't high?

So you 2 mental midgets think that because you saw a picture of him smoking that you take for granted he smokes all day everyday? So I can assume the both of you are alcoholics? Lushes, stumbling drunks? Please send me your addresses so I can live in 'I am a perfect human beingville' with you.

Phelps has stayed out of trouble since his initial mistakes. I hope he's grown up now. He was quite a bit younger 4 years ago when he he became a wordwide household name, and it's whil I don't approve of his actions back then, it's possible that he's matured and moved on.

And if he was so what. The reality is that if you don't believe you are good, you won't be good. I coached my son's flag football team which consisted of 8-10 years olds. We won our division 6 times in 8 seasons. I always told my kids you can't think you are giong to win. You have to go out there expecting to win. You have to out hustle the other team on every play. My kids never show boated or taunted. We never got flagged even once for unsportsmanlike conduct and when an opponent fell down, you helped him up, but I always made sure they went in with the right mindset.

Michael Phelps isn't cocky. I live in Baltimore and have seen him more times in person than on tv or in some magazine. AS he might be a superb athlete and an elite athlete, he is ver immature. I can't tell you how many times I've seen him out in bars in Canton, MD drunk trying to pick up every chic that walks by, AS WELL as smoking cigarettes and halfthe time he looks high as a kite. I've seen him stupid drunk knocking into people and being an idiot. I'm sorry but that to me is not being humble. SO yes, I will judge because I've seen the way he acts at tthe pool, tha marina at his condo, and the local bars.

Well said-I agree completely.

That is gross! Do you want mummie to sleep with you too?

People, get a clue. Guys with tons of one-night stands, speaking from past experience, don't tell their mom, in fact do it as much as possible at the girl's place, so obviously a cover, as in Tom Cruise, for being gaeeeeeeeeeee.

I am so relieved that I didn't miss this imbecilic drivel about this moron's sexual habits. Thanks! I shall look forward to the continued rotting of our collective intellects.

That's because you are immoral.

Why? Can't he just "use his hand"? Why does he need to use a human being? I met my husband in a bar and he was actually looking for someone to have a friendship with. We have had a marriage and friendship for thirty one years. Please. Don't paint everyone with the same brush. Mom really shouldn't have blabbed, even if she did know which is a little creepy.
I would actually be ashamed as a mother if I knew my son was doing this since sex for a girl
is often a lot more emotional. I feel bad for the girls who fall for "a line"and hope Lochte gets
turned down. Women are not TOYS. Get a fancy rubber doll if you need "a body".

That is pretty sad for someone who will be a national role model for a lot of young boys.

PRUDE

Great athlete.. not so great role model!

Are you crazy? If you have a daughter, would you want her to go out on a one-nighter, screw, and feel guilty and used the next day? Her self-esteem and health deserve SO much more. HIV, hepatitis, chlamydia, trichomoniasis and yeast infections suck.

Why is it bad for a woman's self esteem to bag an Olympic Gold Metalist? Explain this to me please - how is this bad?

Bagging anyone is bad because it lowers you to a mere animal. You should respect your body more than that, and also avoid the diseases a partner might give you.

Somtimes you just need to get your rocks off. Remember, to a man, the fantasy is the harem, not the committed relationship.

You're just nasty. Nasty! When you sleep with him, you sleep with every girl he's slept with and every guy every one of those girls slept with! Now how is that not gross? These athletes are no heroes. How about the guy stationed in Afghanistan who hasn't seen his wife in months and is being faithful to her? THAT'S a HERO.

drmdmd: You're making too much sense for some folks. Maybe they aren't parents yet, or worse yet, maybe they are.

Newsflash. Now a days women are just as bad as men. Women aren't getting used for the most part, they are getting what they need too. I have a couple of women tell me after a few days that their husbands were coming back an to lose their number. I guess she just needed someone to keep it warm for her husband til he got back.

Thank you for mentioning self esteem! It is the absolute reason why so many people sleep around and it needs to be talked about more often so people can be educated to make better choices in their life!

Some people do have morals, just sayin'

Obviously your mommy was just as good of a role model!

CLJCLJ21 - scumbag!

I agree, he seems nothing more then a douche bag. but hey if women complain why most guys treat them like crap its because they go after these type of guys..

right on

up yours, you dont even know. he dedicates all his to prove to everyone hes the best and just because he puts all his time in that instead of a girl, your gonna judge him and call him a douche bag? ya alright. doesnt make sense. but if he was telling everyone this it would be different.

Not much of a champion after all. He'll be forgotten soon enough. Next subject.

I agree. So ffar, I'm not impressed and in no way can he compare to Phelps. After blowing the relay for the USA several nights ago , maybe he realizes what a powerhouse Phelps is and that he can never achieve that level of succes. And I mention Phelps only because it is Lotchke himslef who is always trying to outdo Phelps.

You are not a prude. He has shared way too much information. He is a role model and should at least try to keep his mouth shut.

He's an athete, your parents should be your role models.

Sad how? His mother's use of the phrase "one night stands" was unfortunate. She didn't mean what most of us think about when we hear that term, I'm sure. She was basically saying that he has to play the field, which is not a lotharic term...it's what people who don't have time for relationships do...another term would be dating...just not one person. He can still be a national role model for young boys. A better role model thatn Phelps, that's for sure. Once that picture of him smoking marijuana from a bong hit the internet, all his credibility went right out the window. Why so much is being made of this creep I don't understand. His quest is for the most medals, not winning for the sake of winning. It's all about the numbers for Phelps. I think he is a pig and his mother is as much to blame for who he turned out to be as he is.

mom needs to shut up

I'd much rather my kid fess up to pot than sleeping around. Pot should be legalized, sleeping around is unsafe and disrespectful to both parties. Sex without concientionous is sad. It doesn't need to be love, but please, it shouldn't be worthless. I'd rather you toke, not poke.

I agree with you. However, I doubt this article holds any merit. This reeks of the antics of a journalist trying to make a name for him/herself at the Olympics who makes up for their lack of talent by inserting sex into the article to get more people to click on it. If you want to learn about a man's sex life, you don't ask his mother. Period. I doubt that this article is true and reputable.

Really? You think smoking weed is worse than ******* a lot of girls and tossing them to the side like rags? You think a personal action is worse than one that involved another person (or even more)? Wow... Would you like for your daughters to be with this guy? I know a person that thinks in terms of numbers and how many girls he can screw because "one night stands are awesome".

As far as Phelps is concerned, I have personally met the guy on two separate occasions because he lives in my home state. Phelps is a quintessential mercurial athlete. He is very humble and acts like he is an everyman. Who cares if he smokes pot. He's not the one running the country in the ground, escalating nuclear tensions, or murdering mass numbers of people. Lochte isn't either but compared to Phelps, he has more skeletons in his closet.

You must be up in the night when in the world did having countless one night stands consitutes DATING? Saying the Lochte can be a better role model than Phelps is a joke! I would rather have my kid look up to an outstanding young man like Phelps whos worst infraction is smoking a little weed. Phelps was raised by his mother and she helped him to achieve his dreams. Lochte's mother is saying it is just find to victimize and use women for her sons sheer pleasure and nothing more. It might be the year 2012 but the treatment of women is still the same to be used and treated like second class citizens. Before Lochte's mothers stupid statement I liked him and wanted to see him eclipse Phelps because I thought he finally deserved his time in the sun. But NOW all I can say is shame on you for your stupid statement, shame on Lochte's arrogant mother and shame on Lochte! GO PHELPS!!!!!

No that is not what Lochte's mother is saying. She doesn't know how to correctly ue the term 'one night stand.' Noting was said about is having sex and then dumping girls. She was trying to say that he doesn't have time for a male/female relationship and that his dating is sporadic and mostly with a different gal from time to time. No commitments which is fine for someone who is focused on his athletic career. Same hold true for someone in medical school or law school. Meets someone and goes out for dinner or a movie or a party. No I'll call, etc. but it doesn't mean he's taking them out and having sex with them. His mother's use of the term is unfortunate and perhaps she should stop talking about him.I stand by what I said about Phelps. He smoked marijuana from a bong at a party, knew full well that somone was taking pictures (he even looked at the person) and only an idiot would not know that there was a high probability that those pictures were going out for all to see. He should not have been smoking marijuana to begin with. It is illegal and unhealthy and he is a swimmer for crying out loud. LUNGS?

Who are you, that you claim his mom doesn't know how to correctly use the term "one night stand"? That term has been around for ages and certainly the women of her generation are well aware of it's meaning. His mom, and most of these parents, should just shut their traps and let their childrens' accomplishments do the talking. By the way, I didn't really care or think about this guy's dating habits, but now that I hear this from his mom, I realize how he came to be the douche that he seems so intent on being in every interview.

Women can't be victimzed and used for Lochte's pleasure unless they want to be used and victimized - unless you're accusing him of being a rapist, which I know you're not. Why do you dislike Lochte and not the women, who use and victimize him for their pleasure?

I was wondering too if she just phrased it wrong. If that's the case then I feel for her. That will be hard to live down.

National role model? He's a swimmer! He didn't cure cancer.
Mom just made him out to be a national *****.

I cannot imagine that comment coming from his mother. He looks so wholesome and healthy - but is just another *****.

Cannot believe they censored that word... it begins with "who", ends with an "re".

He's not a role model for young boys get that crap out of your head. And I admire him for his game with women.

I agree with you. He's not a role model at all. It's depressing that these people underestimate boys like that. They have a mind that they can use to pick their own role models for themselves. Just because he's an olympian doesn't mean they're gonna automatically do everything he does.

I like rock music but I don't sh*t in hotel hair dryers or bite the heads off of live bats.
