The Dadbod trend, made popular by stars like Leonardo DiCaprio has got men with blah bodies to get all smug, thinking they’re now in trend and hot.

The dad bod is not the body of a pubescent teenager, it is the body of a real man. A dad bod is a body that used to be fit and toned but has since slacked a little, giving way to a meatier mid section. It is in no way a fat bod or anything to do with obesity. It really is just an average middle.
Men with dad bods are not gym obsessed. Regular gym sessions to maintain a chiselled physique takes time... away from me. It’s also a drag to be with a man who is so preoccupied with what he eats and doesn’t have other pursuits outside of the gym.

Dad bods tend to have an easy going and chill personality. I find a man who rocks a dad bod attractive (especially if he isn’t even a dad yet) because it takes confidence. You know how they say that a man with a flashy car is compensating for being shit in bed, or having a small penis, or being short, or having no personality? Similarly, dad bods don’t use their body as a compensation tool. So behind a dad bod, women expect to find a great personality, successful career, etc, because there’s no shortcomings to make up for with a chiseled body.
When I see a dad bod, I see a family man, a nurturer, good husband material. It is also a body which doesn't intimidate me. While a guy who is crazy fit can look attractive to some women, imagine wearing a bikini and taking a picture next to him (in a banana hammock no less). I don't need a perfectly sculpted guy standing next to me to make look like the shittier bodied of the two. I want to be the hot one! A a dad bod allows me to be that, no pressure at all.

So these are the reasons why I would pick a dad bod over a beef cake bod. The reality of this whole phenomena is… women love the dad bod not for its jiggly lack of definition and tone itself… but because of what it could represent. So if behind that dad bod is a loser, then …. yeah… you’re not attractive at all… (so you might want to look into getting a flashy car instead. lol)
