Why do girls, on average, find fit men less attractive than men with "dad bods"?

Do we? Lol... that's a pretty big blanket statement. What is your source for this? I like fitter people. Whether I am dating a girl or guy I gravitate to fit partners. They don't have to be crazy ripped or anything like that but just in good shape. So I got no clue where you are coming up with that statement. Maybe it is true but I don't think it is the case. I'd like to see some evidence if you have some.

Dad bods are cool but only on a really attractive guy. Being a fit guy gets you more options across the board whether you’re attractive or not.
Less attractive is subjective and I don’t know what woman you’re talking to that says that, but if you’re only talking to unfit women of course they’d see unfit male bodies as unattractive. Just like some men may see gym girl bodies as unattractive but 10/10 it’s because they’re out of shape their selves.

they don't. it's virtue signaling

so many men fall for this lie and end up sabotaging themselves

don't listen to what women say. observe what they do because actions speak louder than words

So women lie about what they're attracted to to encourage less men to be what they like?

yes they do. it's one giant shit-test to weed out gullible men from the gene pool

The most attractive BMI range for men is ~24.5-27 and for women ~17-19, since you are younger.

They don't. I get infinitely more female attention when I'm fit and in shape than I ever did while overweight or out of shape. Any woman who says otherwise is lying.

Because fit men tend to act like twats.

@nottacocat6969
Are generalizations only okay when they're about men?

[NotTacocaT6969]

Everyone uses generalizations and stereotypes no matter how inclusive and fair they want to believe they are.

Not me; I love me some abs

Dad bods are better to cuddle

Why do you believe this?

people listen to the words of someone more than they observe their actions
