I assume it has a lot more to do with not taking yourself to seriously and being generally fun to be around while not being a complete slob.
Agree 100%

Since when does working out 3-4 times a week and not having a gut= taking yourself too serious?
No woman is going to penalize a normal, likable guy for that.
But I imagine there are women who are prejudiced against guys who obsess about fitness (probably more about lifting than cardio). Especially among the "wife material" class.
Now the wannabe instagram model types are probably pretty anti-dad bod.

For example, I'm guessing that anywhere between 12-25% BF may be considered a dad bod. I'm also guessing that 12% BF is less risk of heart attack than 25% BF. Although maybe 12% BF is possibly also lower heart attack risk than those that get into the sub 10% BF
12% BF is lean as frick and is showing a six pack. Hell even 15% is six pack ish. Dad bod is a dude who is in his physical prime just not giving a frick getting the bod of a 45+ man.

Of course.
And I think that probably works into the prejudice. Traditionally dudes with money probably weren't in the best shape, although I think that is changing. Now, being in shape (but not obsessive) is a sign of discipline and self-control among professionals.
Excessive flaunting of wealth and flaunting physical fitness (in men) probably go hand in hand and are probably turn ons to the duck-face category of women and turn-offs to others.

Funny and accurate.

Women who are looking for long term relationships are more attracted to financial security than 6-packs. If women cared as much about looks as men did they wouldn't be dating older guys.
I've even gotten the impression from talking to some women that they think it's a sign of insecurity if a guy is working out all the time.

And yet:
The Predictive Value of Different Measures of Obesity for Incident Cardiovascular Events and Mortality
How many men and how many years were in the study you posted OP?
quote:
A 2010 study that followed 11,000 subjects for up to eight years concluded that Waist to Height Ratio is a much better measure of the risk of heart attack, stroke or death than the more widely used body mass index. However, a 2011 study that followed 60,000 participants for up to 13 years found that waist-hip ratio (when adjusted for BMI) was a better predictor of ischaemic heart disease mortality than WHtR

My non-Yale approximation ballparks the average income of the dad-bod population at no less than 37% higher than their younger, washboard-abbed counterparts.
Could the money factor into the attraction? Just a guess...

Yeah, no
As usual watch what women do not what they say
They might say they prefer a dad bod but their actions say otherwise.
Put two men in front of a woman and tell her to pick one. One is a dad bod and the other at 12% body fat with muscular definition and visible abs. Pretty sure most women pick the guy in shape.

You guys are retarded. How many times do I have to say it. Women who are with a guy because of his money and resources are not actually attracted to the man himself. They just use him for resources. The sex is extremely rare if not ever. It's not like women who are with a man because of his money are banging him every night.
Women are attracted to a man for one of two reasons:
His genes
His resources

You mean to tell me if they have no other information to go on besides looks that they will choose based on looks? Shocking!
Next you'll tell me if you show a woman 2 different men's pay stubs that they'll pick the one with the bigger number.
