Be honest, are Dad Bods really attractive?

[JakeGolding754]

Do you find them hot even?

Yes

No

It's complicated

I don't think they're attractive or not attractive.
Every woman will choose and have a different opinion. Some see it as a relief, because then they feel they won't be judged so harshly themselves. Some are very fit themselves and want the same in a partner. Some are superficial and base their decisions on the external primarily.
For me, I definitely appreciate the work and discipline that goes into creating a beautiful body. It is something to marvel at. But I choose who to interact with based on personality.

Thanks.
It is interesting because some women will claim that dad bods are hot, but I don't know if it's worth the risk to let myself go just to find out that it's disgusting to most.

I've read about this on here in detail. Yes, there are some who are very 'pro' on this (as opposed to being neutral or negative.)
Anytime anyone says something not inherently great is "hot" I dig deeper. But many people either don't know why they like what they like, or don't want to reveal their true motivations.

I think the takeaways are:
The girl is not particularly superficial.
She prioritizes personality or character.
She may not be fit herself or knows she could lose a few pounds and doesn't want criticism.
She wants to enjoy life, and not be super rigid or disciplined and is seeking a partner who will think similarly.
Maybe also, it makes a guy look bigger, and some girls prefer bigger over smaller, where a guy looks more vulnerable physically. She has a sense that while he may not necessarily be strong (maybe yes, maybe no), she will feel more protected than with someone who is thin. (This doesn't include the ultra fit, of course.)

I guess I wonder if It's simular to chubby chasers?
Like I can find thin, petite women hot, medium women hot and some Mom Bods are sexy too.
If she's cute and overall healthy, but just has a bit of pudge in the belly, and a bit of extra ass it's kinda hot.

First guy seems just fine. That being said, women usually want a stronger and masculine looking men because we like feeling secure in a relationship. So most women would prefer a " dad bod" to a bony skinny looking guy because they appear to look stronger. However, being very much overweight is not a turn on for most ladies.
Just take good care of yourself, be active and stay fit.

The first guy yes but other than that nope

[JakeGolding754]

Thanks.
Yeah, I was wondering because both of those guys are really popular with women.
