Dear anyone who "hated" Chad,

I know what you're thinking, but there is no way that I'm the only person that was team Chad.

Chad Johnson was the realest thing that ever happened to the Bachelorette. How could you have hated someone who did nothing but tell the truth, and tried not to come off too eager?

Regardless of whether you admit it or not, SOME part of you must have liked Chad. Whether it was the fact that he has a little puppy, has served our country, or has one of the best physiques I've ever seen, there has to be SOME part of you that liked or respected Chad.

In a world where females constantly feel like they are being lied to and men lie to get in bed with girls and both lie about their feelings in their past, it seems almost impossible to find love when both parties make it so hard. So why is it that when someone comes along who gives us nothing but sheer honestly, we freak out and eliminate them off our favorite TV show?

Girls CONSTANTLY complain that guys are dishonest. Like I promise, it’s constant. So why is it that when a guy like Chad walks in and tells the truth about everything, everyone snaps on him?

Had everyone left him alone, the poor guy probably would’ve made it to the finals and we’d be looking at a future Jojo Johnson. Not only does the name sound perfect, but imagine their babies.

Aside from the fact that he was honest and truthful, he went on the show six months after his MOM, his BEST FRIEND DIED of cancer! Let’s all just hate him for this too!

I don’t think that enough people gave him credit for even going onto the show in the first place. After watching his elimination and creeping on his Instagram for possible background photos, I saw that he had posted a picture of he and his mom saying that this is the reason he went on the Bachelorette:

“Well other than the fact that I work all the time, for 7 years I watched my mother slowly die from cancer. Over the last 3 she got so much worse and I decided to spend all of my time that I wasn’t working, at her house taking care of her and generally spending time with her. She was all alone since her divorce from my father. My sister and I were all that she had. So I have not had a relationship in a very long time because I was busy trying to make sure my mother lived out her final years in comfort and surrounded by family. I still miss her everyday…. She was my best friend and person I told everything to.”

Regardless of how scary, volatile, and conceited he may be, Chad was real. So maybe he had one flaw, which so happened to be something that people dream of being able to do: stand up for themselves.

If being honest and standing up for yourself are not deemed admirable qualities, then I don’t know what is.

I think that we all need to find a little bit more of Chad in ourselves.
