"The Bachelorette" has gotten heated early -- from the beautiful men to the outdoor dates to the drama? You'd think with guys there would be less, but oh no there is much more. And it all seems to stem from one guy... Chad Johnson.
The truth is we've all met a Chad Johnson. A loose cannon who thinks he knows the way to your heart. He is everywhere, but there are plenty of signs that he's a 'Chad.' So let's break down the warning signs.
1. The crooked smile.
The 'Chad' has a way of making you believe everything he says by just smiling. It's haunting yet invigorating. Do not let it fool you. This is the first warning sign because he usually flashes it first. Be sure to recognize early, and sift through the far from the truth lines and the much more believable.
2. Talks down every guy in the place.
If he starts off a conversation with a diss of another guy:
This is a definite sign he's a 'Chad.' There's plenty to talk about on the first couple of dates (especially first impressions), so if he continues to down other people, tell that boy bye.
3. He's a tad bit pushy (literally)...
This is a huge warning sign he's being a 'Chad.' Violence is not the answer, so if he shows early signs of being a bit pushy -- again, refer to number 2 (Boy Bye). A calm, level-headed guy is out there some where, so bypass the 'Chad.'
4. He tries to show off in front of other guys.... at your expense.
Ladies, this is not always fun, cute or flirty. This is sometimes him proving his masculinity and ego to others. You watched this episode, and you know you cringed for JoJo. Jojo had the right idea with the "aw..." [turns head] plan of action. This is the right move.
5. He insults you.
What is his deal? He's so sweet and flirty, then all of a sudden, "you're naggy?" He goes between compliments and insults. This is a warning sign because he's either showing off, insecure or he doesn't have an answer for your question. (Again, refer to number 2.)
6. He thinks of himself over the situation.
Please tell me you thought this was overly awkward too? The rose ceremony is the biggest part of each episode, and Chad is going to eat? This is a sign. If he thinks he's "too cool" for something you think is important, he's a 'Chad.' Not the time or the place to eat meat, Chad. [Sigh.]
7. He talks about your... er... physical attributes in public.
It's okay to compliment them once in a while, hey, we love to know we look good, but all the time and on camera? Please no. If he can only tell you the physical traits he likes about you,
Tell. That. Boy. Bye. (Thank you, Beyonce.)
8. He doesn't even think he's a nice guy.
Honestly, this is probably the biggest sign of them all. If he doesn't even think he's slightly nice, why should you? He's a 'Chad.'
So, next time you're out with your girlfriends, just enjoying a drink, count how many 'Chads' you encounter. Maybe even see how many warning signs he shows off in the first five minutes.
Better yet, make it a drinking game. Every time he 'Chads', drink... responsibly.
