Why Girls Love The Dad Bod
Quote:In case you haven't noticed lately, girls are all about that dad bod. I hadn't heard about this body type until my roommate mentioned it. She used to be crazy over guys she claimed had the dad bod. After observing the guys she found attractive, I came to understand this body type well and was able to identify it. The dad bod is a nice balance between a beer gut and working out. The dad bod says, "I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time." It's not an overweight guy, but it isn't one with washboard abs, either.
The dad bod is a new trend and fraternity boys everywhere seem to be rejoicing. Turns out skipping the gym for a few brews last Thursday after class turned out to be in their favor. While we all love a sculpted guy, there is just something about the dad bod that makes boys seem more human, natural, and attractive.

Finally, a trend that works in my favor.

The bigger that I am, the smaller she looks.
BTW, that is an awesome cruise ship. If anybody wants to go on an Open Bar Cruise on it August 21-24 pm me. Prices start at $386 for 4 days and 3 nights to the Bahamas leaving out of Cape Canaveral. All drinks (premium & specialty) and food are included. Ocean view from $459.

Of course this is the case. Most people say they want a perfect specimen, but when it comes down to it, we want a normal person. Too much work to keep someone that is that far out of your league.

RE: Why Girls Love The Dad Bod
My gym buddies and i always had college kids coming up to us telling us we needed to cut more and lose our guts. We were by no means outnof shape, but we didnt spend an hour on the treadmill everyday either. We lifted heavy and were stronger than anybody the college kids. They'd tell us about their 12 pounds of chicken they ate every week and how they let themselves have a few Mic ultrasound as a reward. Just to get under their skins we'd talk about the steaks and baked potatoes anyway beers we drank after the gym.
I may carry a 10 pounds of fat and a few inches around, but the older i get, the more i realize just how much i like food and beer.

I work out 6 times a week and probably have what would be considered a dad bod, even though I am not a dad. Have a bit of a gut, but can run 8 miles and throw some weight around in the gym.
