Lip Gallagher still keeps his audience swooning over his charm, sincerity, and ruggedness.
He has more strength than he gives himself credit for putting anyone and everyone before his own needs.
Lip has gone through many relationships that can only be described as chaotic.

Shameless
His paternal instinct.
His transparency
Hes not afraid to share his feelings or lack thereof.
There was a time when Mandy Milkovich told Lip she loved him where he didnt say it back.
His authentic personality results in ongoing transparency that may hurt some feelings but keeps things open and honest.
He answers honestly: I dont know if I love you.
I know I like you.
Being early on their relationship, this transparency is all anyone can ask for.
His arms
Come on, we were all thinking about it.
The muscles on his arms are a gift from above.
Lip is always either shirtless or sleeveless, and no one is complaining about that.
His unique look grows on you every season as his confidence radiates to the forefront.
His sobriety.
Lip has struggled with drugs and alcohol most of his life.
He started at such a young age neglected by his parents who were addicts themselves.
Hes worked determinedly to become a responsible influence.
His loyalty.
Loyalty is an attractive quality as it welcomes the feeling of security.
Hes loyal to the ones he cares about always staying true to himself.
Youens, one of Lips college professors, is a perfect example of this.
Shortly after, Youens went on his own downward spiral treating Lip and everyone around him like garbage.
Lip faced the brunt of Youens anger up until the very end when he passed away.
His thick skin.
Hes been through hell and back, and he still came through on the order side.
Lip Gallagher was walloped with life experience earlier on than most.
His family means everything to him.
For Lip Gallagher, family means everything.
That doesnt always involve blood because it includes anyone he cares about.
Lip will always take care of his own offering support in any way he possibly can.
