The perfect man, according to the media, is fit, manly, and has a 6-pack. As a result, it’s widely assumed that many women seek a mate with a well-sculpted body. Women, on the other hand, prefer to focus on personality over appearances, and they prefer guys with “dad bods,” according to an online survey.
Bodies come in different shapes and sizes, and we think they’re all equally gorgeous at Bright Side. Because we believe that, at the end of the day, what matters is what’s on the inside.
The most desirable body type is a “dad bod.”
Dating.com, an online dating site, conducted a survey of its customers to learn about their body type preferences when looking for a spouse. The findings were surprising, given just 15% of those polled stated that they prefer a “Barbie” or “Ken-like” body type.
The physical type of their spouse didn’t important to 20% of those polled, as they preferred to focus on personality over appearances. And roughly seventy-five percent said they like the “dad bod.”
Soft and round bodies are preferred by more ladies than toned bodies.
The reason for this was revealed by women on Reddit:
Because it is reassuring. At the same time, he’s powerful. There’s nothing like a “dad bod” to cuddle with. tjr634 tjr634 tjr634 tjr63
Guys with a “dad bod” are more balanced and open to others, which is significantly more appealing. — 5 quats
From a “attraction” standpoint, it’s because I know you’re concerned about something other than your physical beauty (whether it’s a career or a family), and that’s a desirable trait. — 018bananafish
I appreciate it when a man not only looks for himself but also enjoys good food, which is where my fondness for the dad bod stems from. When I say dad bod, I’m referring to a man who is strong and has some padding. eb110043 eb110043 eb110043 eb1100
His company is the finest not just because of his “dad bod,” but also because of the “dad humour” that comes with it. I can’t deny that his belly doesn’t create a particularly comfortable pillow. — NadLip415 &nb
It is contingent on how you define it. I have a strong preference towards muscular men. I’m not interested in abs, but I am interested in triceps and quads that are muscular. So if dad bods include very muscular males with a bit of pudge, I’m in. — riricide
Men with “dad bods” are preferred by some of them since they do not intimidate them.
My partner has the ideal father’s physique. He’s powerful and athletic, but he’s also a foodie. It’s the best of both worlds.
But what’s the finest part? His physique does not intimidate me. I’m not in any hurry to keep up with him. I don’t feel bad about staying at home if he goes to the gym. To put it another way, I am free to be myself. — Laust, Hope
I’m intimidated by a super-fit body, and I assume this individual doesn’t have enough spare time to spend with me (assuming most of his free time is spent in the gym). Because my body is average, I feel more at ease with someone with an average body. I’d also be concerned that cooking for them would be difficult and that they would refuse to eat out. GlowForTheGold
This is what it means to have a “dad bod.”
It’s a wonderful compromise between being fit and having a pooch or obvious tummy — a man who works out occasionally but also lives comfortably and eats pizza.
Are men with “dad bods” appealing to you?
