A world class bodybuilder is extreme. When did it become a Dad bod vs a Dorian Yates bod? And I agree with you on that extreme. Guys who are that hardcore into bodybuilding are basically all about themselves, which is a huge turnoff for most women.

HOWEVER, 99% of women, if they had a legit choice, would choose a fit-bod guy vs a dad-bod guy, if everything else was equal.

yeah no. Hot girls like a fit guy 100% of the time. Chunky girls like a fit guy 100% of the time but settle with what they can get.

My arse isn’t big, it’s just fit. I squat 3 times a week, so it’s got some size. Sorry your bf doesn’t like your saggy arse.

This is me. I'm not overweight at all and work out a few times a week but I'm not giving up my bourbon and ribeye steaks. If that means I keep a little soft area around my midsection then it's worth it

I’ve had the Dad bod and my sexiness level went down. I believed that it was ok to have it. That was a mistake. I work out pretty frequently and now I’m in good shape. I’m right at 25 BMI and I get hit on more and get more women. I’m still trying to lower my BMI to 22. I think that’s my perfect physique. Also, when I had the Dad bod, fatter chicks thought they had a chance. That helps if you’re picking up their hot friends. However, the hot friends don’t want the Dad bod.

For all you fellas out, please fall for this bull shite of thinking the Dad bod works. I can have more hot chicks available for me if you do. We screw like pornos when it goes down.

Yeah my BMI is around 22.9 right now, but I’ve been skinny my whole life. It was usually 18-19. I’ve finally been able to bulk up. I want to get up to around a 25 then cut down to a 23. Dad bods are for the undisciplined. No one is saying you have to workout 5 days a week doing bro splits every day, but put in some effort and it will pay off.

It cuts down on the their chances of hooking up with a guy that is gay. Are we really supposed to continue believing these guys spending all their spare time in a gym comparing body mass with other sweaty guys are doing it just to be in shape?

I don't think thats the dad bod. the dad bod is the guy that doesn't work out at all, has skinny arms, no chest, and a little gut. not fat, not muscular, but not skinny. I think Leonardo dicaprio has developed a dad bod.

why do women like it? my experience is that up to maybe 21 or so, girls/women are strictly enamored by looks. once these women leave college and enter the real world, they realize the most successful and powerful guys aren't usually the hard bodied model types; they're normal looking dudes with dad bods. their taste in men eventually shifts away from strictly aesthetics.

Change they don't want their mate to care more about their own looks , than the woman does, and I'll agree. Real men want to be in-shape as a health concern, not to look good. Most grown men reach a point where they do more of cardio, than chest and arms. Most grown men get haircuts at a barber shop, and don't blow dry, or use gel in their hair. Most grown men don't care what a bunch of 20 year old, series binge-watching Netflixers, that are still wet behind the ears, think about their dad bod.

ETA:
Women love the man that's confident, not the guy that's neurotic about his own looks.

Deal with it!

No. It makes them feel sexier. Women want to be hotter than their guy.

That's not a dad bod. That's a kid with no history of muscle development.

Jesus some of you are dumb. it doesn't take hours in the gym to have a great body. Takes about 4 hours total a week spread across 3 days. Other than that going for a walk with the gf/wife is all you have to do. It's all diet.

A dad bod is not somebody that used to lift. It's a soft guy with small arms and a gut. Google it.

And no woman don't prefer the dad bod but no matter what personality is going to be the biggest factor. But all things being equal woman are going to be programmed to be attracted to the guys with the more pronounced jaw line.

All the guys saying dad bod are insecure or are around insecure woman. I know I had a dad bod, and woman are much more attracted to a fit guy.

I thought that was what some called "skinny fat." What if you have some tone and larger than average arms but a belly? I see many cops and firemen like that.

This is what that Clemson story had in it that sort of put it on the radar for most...
