I understand that Olympian Michael Phelps isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But I can’t help myself! I was obsessed with him before, during and immediately after the Beijing Olympics, and I genuinely find him attractive. He’s got that tall, lanky, broad-shouldered body that I love. He’s got a mix of goofy sweetness and the supremely focused sportsman. I don’t know… I can’t describe it in actual words, all I know is that I’m hot for him and I’m looking forward to seeing him at the London Olympics. And Phelps is going to compete! After Beijing, Phelps spent a few years just hanging out, being a dude in his 20s, smoking some weed and not keeping up with his training. But a year ago, Phelps decided to start training again and actually focus on preparing for London.
And now the press machine around Phelps has begun anew. Phelps did an interview with 60 Minutes last night, and he really does seem more mature, quieter, more reticent. He’s also HOT. His hair has grown out a bit and… I just like him so much:
Phelps says that FOR SURE he will not do the 2016 Rio Olympics, and that London will definitely be the last time he competes, and after that he‘s retiring for sure. He also discussed his hyperbaric sleeping chamber, and how he’ll totally win some gold medals in London. YAY! Who is excited for the Olympics, y’all? I am.

Let’s see: humongous ears that stick out like satellite dishes and an underbite…he was never sexy to begin with. And his dick moves after the 2008 Olympics just made things worse.
I agree with you. His mouth has always weirded me out. He just seems like he would be a terrible kisser. I hate how he dresses as well. He has absolutely no style.
Totally! Busted face, weird body, and behaves like an ass. What’s to like?
Yes, he is.
I’d hit it.
I find him hot in a swim cap – it pulls his ears back and stretches his face out in a good way. But once he whips it off – it’s over.
@SofiaPetrillo…..you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I was wondering why I found him attractive in SOME pics, but not others…now I know the pics I liked of him were those when he had his swim cap on!!! LMAO!!!
He reminds me of Fieval. Its weird.
Odd, yes. Sexy, no. Crooked yellow teeth, long jaw, torso too long for his legs which does help him swim but doesn’t look that great.
Yes, I would… : )
Hate to burst your bubble, but I know him personally and he is a gold plated A-hole. C-cky (in a bad way), obnoxious, vain, rude. And it only gets worse when you add alcohol. And less attractive (physically) up close. $40 million ain’t enough to make me want to hit it.
Lainey Gossip had a story about him and another American athlete being a racist a-hole as well. I guess it’s probably true then.
He mistook her (Lainey is of Chinese descent) for a completely different girl whose only similarity with Lainey was the fact she was also Asian.
The story is here, but they removed the picture.

P.S.: I can assure you the girl looked NOTHING like Lainey.
Wasn’t there also a blind item on CDAN that was widely thought to be Phelps? Something about he and his entourage allegedly trying to take advantage of drunk young women at some party at a hotel??
IDK, after the weed thing,(yes, I was young once too-but, I was not an Olympic athlete and role model) and then the drunk-driving incident, he clearly sounds like an entitled a-hole. JMHO.
I simply cannot wait for the Olympics.
I don’t have cable, and I was going to just get it for one month to watch. But apparently you can’t do that anymore?? anyway, turns out my mom moved into a super apartment with a pool, playground and cable! and AC! so off we go to watch, every day. She’s thrilled to see the kids so much and I am thrilled I won’;t miss the gymnastics, diving, swimming, equestrian, track and field… etc !
I kind of feel bad for Micheal because I watched that video & his mother is RELENTLESS! Geez, woman…his career is ABOUT HIM, NOT YOU!!!
I can understand where he’s coming from. After all, he made a huge, great achievement in Beijing, and his performance in Beijing was obviously the result of a lot of training, pushing, ad nauseum. I’m sure HIS MOTHER was on his ass the whole time!
Michael has accomplished a great deal, & I think it’s wonderful he’s finally come to terms w/himself, & decided he’ll compete in London…that’s great.
However, I feel that after London, he DOES NEED TO LIVE A QUASI-NORMAL LIFE. His mother needs to get off his back, live her own life instead of living THROUGH him.
Did anyone see the video? She ALREADY has her crosshairs aimed at the 2016 Rio Olympics, saying she wants to go because ‘she’s never been there.’ What a lie! Michael has MORE than enough $$$ to send her to Rio right now. What that greedy woman REALLY WANTS is to live vicariously through Michael’s successes and glory, and bask in such. What a SHAME! It’s really a shame she can’t just be proud of what he’s already accomplished, and give him “permission” to live his life as he wants. A real shame!
typical athlete parent. my sister in law is forcing her two sons to become a olympic level swimmers rn. only she takes them to basketball lessons too, and the poor children do not have one free day in the week. they go to school, then sports, for many hours in the day, including when they’re ill, when they’re tired, even on their birthdays. all because her parents want to buy an even bigger house, get rich through their kids and show off to other parents. it’s sickening. i fucking hate stage/sports parents.
I’ve always found him very unattractive
Me too. Totally NOT sexy to me at all.
He needs that roof of the mouth stretcher thingie some people with braces have to get. It spreads the roof of the mouth out and changes the face (from my visual experience) in a way that usually improves their looks. Its used when they need to make space in your mouth for your teeth or something.
If he got that and fixed his grill, I’d hit. Till then, a mouth like that can’t touch these lips…neither set.
Uhh No!
Butterface. BUTTER.FACE.
I believe it’s BUTHISFACE when it’s a dude!!!
My husband actually thinks Phelps is more attractive than Mark Spitz. (Which may explain why he married me. ;))
I guess in frat boy way…Not my taste though. Sounds like he’s over his rebellious period which is good.
So excited for London! I actually love the Olympics.
I know several people who have met him, and they all say he is an asshole.
he has the “asshole and dumb ass athlete” look on his face. not to be insulting all athletes, of course.
I think hes hot. But like most athletes hes a huge asshole, people putting him on a pedestal probably doesn’t help that.
I’d hit it, if he was wearing a paper bag on his head and was not allowed to talk.
I am so excited for the Olympics!! For once I wont be doing anything this summer between semesters so I am going to soak it in and watch every single event that I can. Can’t wait for gymnastics!
I think the beard helps his face. I’m not sure why, and I am definitely NOT a beard person. But it makes him kind of attractive.
^^^ This, exactly… word for word! lol I don’t think this guy is attractive, and I’m not usually a fan of facial hair, but I agree that the beard is an improvement in this case(; Somehow, maybe it makes his face look not quite sooooooo long? The pic where he is wearing the black jacket, his face looks more proportional, but maybe he had put on a few ounces of body fat, so his cheeks were more full?
Not attractive at all. And it sounds like he’s a jerk, which doesn’t help.
No. He would have to attack me underwater to get any…any.
Ugh, no.
I’d rather hit Kris Humphries with no condom after he slept with Kim.
I mention him because he was a competitive swimmer when he was a kid and he and Phelps used to compete against each other.
I’d rather hit Kris Humphries with no condom after he slept with Kim.
o-O
That’s either very brave or…very suicidal.
I can see the attraction. Not my type, but I can see it.
i think the fame has really gotten to his head. i saw him at his homecoming parade in towson after his first olympics(we’re both from baltimore) and he seemed genuine and sincere, but now i think he’s more of an a**hole and after his dui or whatever i think a lot of us here is balto think he’s a jerk
My brother named his cat after him. And I must say…the cat’s much cuter.
meh. i thought he was the definition of butterface during the last olympics, and now… not even the body is that great. sorry.
