Like I noticed if the guy's white and "handsome", muscular, or has some sort of edge to him, guys will go to bat for him no matter how boring or just flat out not that good.
It's almost like these guys have developed imaginary friendships for the same guys who would give them swirlies in high school.
I'm glad you made "guy" singular, because it's really only Sage, and that's half kidding, though he does come off as very polite and likeable, if not a little naive.
Fedor had obsessive fans, everyone loves Nog, Jacare, Hunt(until recently), Frankie, BJ had a shitload of fans, Robbie's pretty average looking, Hendo, Nick and Nate, Glover, Cowboy, RDA, JDS. You need more?
And your list is just Sage, and does he seem like the kind of guy who would give people swirlies? You know who is considered, and who most people think is a douche and has very few fans? Luke Rocksalt.
In short, piss on your thread about your brilliant "theory" with 1 fucking example, and a million to the contrary. Not everyone is insecure enough to automatically hate everyone with a better physique than theirs.
