Do you like dad bods?

boomcheese44 · 2019-12-20T07:04:11+00:00

No, but if my husband got a dad bod, my husband googles would help me learn to love it.

Here is a question for you. If you 2 broke up tomorrow, could you find another woman with said "dad-bod"?

Men have stopped chasing women, because when women find a man attractive they chase him.

So, my question to you is, would you be chased? This is a yes or no question.

The same yes or no is the answer to the original question "do women like dad bods".

(they dont, they tolerate them)

Truedemocracy5 · 2019-12-20T13:27:14+00:00

Lol at buying into this lie.

No one likes dad bods. They like the fact you aren’t attractive enough to get other women to pursue you and are thus pure comfort.

Read about the origin of the term dad bod, once you understand it then get back to me

Women probably like the "dad bod" of their partner they are attracted to already, and not "dad bod" in general.

If your girlfriend says she likes to snuggle with you because you’re squishy, I would believe her. Most of us don’t have ideal bodies and personally I’m someone who is inclined to desire the body of the person I’m into emotionally regardless of their height or weight. Tall, short, skinny, overweight, light skinned, dark skinned, freckled, or whatever that person happen to look like physically. If that’s who I’m tuned into and have chemistry with at that point in time, I’m attracted to them.

I look back at some of my exes and honestly just don’t see it now even though I know they might be conventionally attractive. All I can see is eww because I don’t find them appealing anymore. I know that I can’t possibly be the only person who truly has a genuine connection between physical attraction and emotional attraction. Plus a dadbod isn’t even bad!

So I really wouldn’t be worried at all about it. I know women who dig bald heads, another thing men fuss over. I think they can be sexy as hell myself! Many women thought Obama had the sexiest ears while cartoonists constantly mocked them. Women are the same has men. Our tastes vary. Rock that dadbod.

Dad bods are fine to cuddle with and I am not disgusted by them but I will never seek them out.

I have a gym thot body that I worked for. I want someone who shares the same values about cultivating their appearance and health through exercise.

reluctantly_red · 2019-12-20T07:11:31+00:00

Women love successful men with dad bods.

Nope I've always been attracted to skinny to slender.

WicGoingAnonymous · 2019-12-20T13:48:14+00:00

I don't like dad bods. I don't mind dad bods though.

And most of the times it's charm. Look at Danny Devito. All charm and smalls and huggy feelings.

A grumpy guy with a dad bod isn't going to get the same attraction.

2019-12-20T15:22:03+00:00

Absolutely not. Only attracted to fit, athletic looking guys. They dont have to massively tall 5ft8 and above is good with me, but being slightly muscular like visable abs toned arms are very attractive!

LifterofThings · 2019-12-20T15:59:34+00:00

I neither like or dislike them. I don't think it'd sway me one way or another. My SO has gone from sort of super-lean ottermode to like... still pretty lean, but no six-pack. It hasn't made a difference to my attraction to him.

_nephila · 2019-12-21T01:26:54+00:00

My husband has a dad bod. It's not his fault as a previous major surgery damaged his abdominal fascia. It doesn't bother me. Why would it? I've had children; I weathered pregnancy, birth, and nursing very well but my body is certainly not perfect.

I focus on his shoulders, arms, back, legs.. I was never an ab girl anyway so it's not a huge loss. I'm not sure I'd call him squishy though, he's very solid in spite of the physical flaws.

TheBlandBeforeThyme · 2019-12-22T06:53:00+00:00

Only insecure women like dad bods, they are making a value judgement against you; rationalising that you’ll have less opportunities to cheat on them thus giving themselves more relationship security.

nevomintoarce · 2019-12-20T09:51:54+00:00

Nah, no, no thanks.

Most women say they like dad bods because they're out of shape themselves and are afraid of seeming superficial or entitled if they admit they like healthy, lean men who workout.

goatismycopilot · 2019-12-20T14:55:59+00:00

I feel neutral about dad bods, some look okay some do not. Your GF said that because she already cares about your specifically. If you guys broke up that does not mean she is going to be a dad bod Queen.

saladfingers4141 · 2019-12-20T20:53:17+00:00

What is considered a dad bod though? I've seen a slightly out of shape Jason Momoa be refered to as a dad bod and Seth Rogan being described as having a dad bod.

Trine_tg22 · 2019-12-21T02:24:37+00:00

Ew, no.

unicorns- · 2019-12-21T04:20:36+00:00

It’s certainly not my preference. I wouldn’t leave a man I was married to or in a committed relationship with over it as long as I was still attracted to him overall (handsome face, good hair, dresses well), but I wouldn’t start dating a guy who had one.

slavicgypsygirl · 2019-12-21T13:23:34+00:00

I don't

RisingUpAgain · 2019-12-20T07:18:01+00:00

They only look good on guys that have pretty faces and are actually muscular underneath.

NO:

OfSpock · 2019-12-20T08:54:55+00:00

Tall and lanky for me.

FlavFal · 2019-12-20T13:34:01+00:00

I won't even date slightly chubby.

grand_tiremaster · 2019-12-21T09:03:44+00:00

Muscular chubby or thicc men are the BEST. I am a 24 yr old female. In my past relationships I was with tall and skinny men, but my eyes have always wandered to the men with wide shoulders and big arms. I used to tell my exes to eat more and go to the gym... I wasn’t satisfied with them.

I learned that some body types simply aren’t suited for the muscle and fat. It has to be natural. Yeah, skinny white boys are tall but their shoulders are so narrow.. thicc white boys >>> all day everyday.

J_Milton_Jr · 2019-12-20T07:32:58+00:00

nope, i dont like it! I dont like guys who are out of shape and dont work out, they're just not sexy imo!

I like 'em sportyish/ripped...

Nodoxxintoxin · 2019-12-20T10:08:59+00:00

🤮

QueenCousland86 · 2019-12-20T17:31:20+00:00

I love dad bods. Much better for cuddles and almost universally a sign that the man in question is non-neurotic.

Orange_Paisley · 2019-12-20T17:42:54+00:00

I like dad bods, sure.

-Aqua-Lime- · 2019-12-20T20:30:55+00:00

Personally yes, on both men and women - I just find that very muscular bodies don't really do it for me, whereas slightly chubby really does. It might not be a majority opinion, but going by the people I know, I wouldn't say that it's particularly rare either.
