So for me (and perhaps a lot of other girls) I didn’t actually realized it was something I like until I had actually been with a man who had a dad bod. He took my virginity actually. I had always pictured myself being with an athletic guy or the pretty boy type but I ended up falling for a guy who was very handsome but just not conventionally handsome. I didn’t think she was somebody I would like until I met him. Once we had sex a few times I was hooked. We ended up breaking up eventually but it’s like the whole “dad bod” things was now on my radar just as much the athletic men. I don’t prefer dad bod but I definitely don’t think it’s a problem. The key isn’t to just let yourself go though. You should always make sure your health and confidence in your own body is top priority. But if you have a dad bod then you can still be just as attractive as the other body types and that’s no lie

Really couldn’t care less. Subconsciously, I probably cared about my currents interest’s body but hardly my focus.
Plus, nothing that can’t be worked on if he wanted to. I absolutely love to do yoga with my boyfriend. Mostly because he sucks at it lmao. It is comical to watch.
Big, strong rugby guy doing yoga is a sight and then some! 😂

These women on here are so dishonest. Why won’t you get yourself a beer belly and walk up to a girl to get her number?
I garuantee you 100% she won’t give it to you.
Women don’t like fat guys. Sure there may be some weirdos out there who find beer bellies and fat attractive but these aren’t the majorityLook, I'd prefer the body of the man in this picture to some steroidal-looking over pumped gym maniac who eats only chicken breasts and egg yolks. That's simply because the roid dude is clearly over focused on appearances and is probably imbalanced. However, I think I would be more sexually attracted to this guy in the pic if he worked out a couple of times more per week and had some definition going. But if he is an amazing person otherwise, I'm not going to hold it against him or worry about it too much. That said, 'Dad bod' now seems to be the new term for fat and pudgy. If he's unhealthy, then no, it's not attractive.
I keep myself in shape for me! Now... Ill be honest im not really "cut" but I can lift 80 lbs over my head and work all day without getting tired, that's the standard of fitness a single man needs to have.
If I had a wife a kids looking to me as an example of masculinity though, i would totally take the extra time to have that six pack a have a more defined physic because I want the sex to be hot and my children to respect me.
I try to stay about three months away from a hot bod just in case a lady is looking to get serious.My take is that girls are sexually attracted to men with a 6-pack. I always see it in girls and my partner when there are topless guys with a 6-pack and big arms they go all 'funny'.
But I why some don't mind or prefer the dad bod is purely because the guys will be more 'down to earth' and easy going.
So i think it's a rather complex one.
But yeah, I think generally it's so guys can feel better about themselves :-)I think many women prefer a partner with a dad bod, but not because it is more attractive looking, but for example because they rather want the lifestyle that comes with it.
Fact is most Americans are overweight, so the norm is that men have a dad bod (or bigger) and the same for the women. Many are self-conscious and have low view on their on body, thinking if they are chubby themself, they will not fit with someone fit and better with someone who is similar.I want a big teddy bear not unhealthy because I want him around for a long time so I just want him healthy and happy that's what matters.
I think they mostly just want someone with strong arms and a mature face that doesn't look like a young boy. They know most people with 6 pack abs are very cut, but not actually strong most of the time. But that doesn't mean they want someone fat either. Mostly not skinny, strong arms, and a mature face.
Some of them yes, of course. For a price...
I like dad bods but its not " to feel better about myself" i genuinely find them sexy. Having sex is fun. They are fun to cuddle. I even orgasmed once i rubbed against his belly. He felt bad but all i did was rub my pussy against his belly.
All bodies are beautiful. Im not into super sculpted abs but i assume they come with perkd like longet stamina and faster hip thrusts. Everyone has their perk.I like dad bods but only if the guy is actually a dad
We all get a gut from time to time, we’re human. I acknowledge it and work on it. I feel better when really fit. Then my thoughts go to how I look for my partner. I feel the same about men who choose not to work on themselves.. it’s a choice. Theirs. I personally do not “prefer” it in honesty. But it ain’t my body so not my choice.
It's a cope for women who can't get attractive men. Kind of like guys who say they prefer fat girls because hot girls are bitchy (towards them).
Dad bods are cool, I don't mind them. I don't really have a preference when it comes to guys and their appearance honestly. All I ask is for guys to practice good hygeine and be self-aware lol...
They don't. It's just a shitty internet trend to pretend they're not picky, and to make themselves look good.
But as I've seen a lot in the comments of these posts: "Where are those women in real life? Because I've only seen them on the internet"I don't find them attractive.
I think that's targeted more towards people who are already in relationships and the husband ends up getting a "dad bod".
They're saying the hubby is still attractive.
I like muscles.Most women that I see with guys who have a “dad bod” are married to them. There’s a very high chance he didn’t have that body when they first started dating.
I have been spending a lot of time at the beach and I have noticed that there are not many fit people of either gender. In fact they are the exception to the rule.
Personally not into it but some girls genuinely do like dad bods. I don’t think they’re saying it out of pity that’s genuinely just what some girls are into.
I prefer fitter guys, but a dad bod isn't a dealbreaker.
My friend told me she likes a chubby man or a dad bod so yeah girls out there exist that love dad bods.
