What Dad Bods Actually Signal To Women 

Hello you ripped beasts. Watch the full episode with Alex here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FqFyVdWscEU.html

If I had a nickel for every woman that found me unattractive I'd find a woman who finds me attractive!

Every girl I've dated when I'm ripped up gets insecure and tries to sabotage my diet. They always say it makes them feel bad about themselves, even though I don't judge them.

My wife always gets mad at me for losing my developing dad bod, because it makes her look bad. The thing is, I’m not doing it for myself and I’m definitely not doing it to make her look bad.. Around the pandemic I made a decision to be the healthiest I can be, even if that means a boring diet with no snacking. I’m in my mid 40s and want to be around as long as possible for my 8 year old daughter.

If they feel insecure, it's their problem, not ours.

I had a Dad bod and no women paid attention to me. Now I am lean and muscular and the women pay much more attention to me. Never ask a woman what they want as they will tell you opposite of what is actually true.

I’m 6’ 5”. When I was married, I had gotten up to 318 lbs. Since my divorce in 2016, I’ve been immersed in daily exercise and a completely clean diet. I now hover at around 220 and I’m lean and muscular. My ex wife constantly takes jabs. Says I look like a cancer patient. Because you know, cancer patients have biceps with veins and striations through pecs and abs and can run sprint intervals etc…

40s and over, fitness strikes me as a strong indicator of socioeconomic class

So, I'm now 60, went from the dad bod to the fit (athletic, not ripped, no abs) bod while away from home on business travel for several months in 2022. My wife's first statement upon seeing me revealed her fear that I'd hook up, or had already, with another woman. Had to explain that I did this as a life improvement for myself. I was tired of feeling like crap, in pain, and unable to fully enjoy outdoors activities. Screw what other people think. Do it for you.

As someone who's rocked a "dad bod" for over a decade now, yea, women don't like it. I literally didn't receive a single compliment from women I don't know until I lost a bit of weight. The guys I know that are actually in shape (and not super short or ugly) all have regular dates or an attractive girlfriend. Don't fall for the virtue signaling.

Find a woman who supports you being your best self. Not one who is weak and becomes insecure from you being your best self.

Met my wife when i was skinny. Got together, got incredibly fat. We had a child, decided I can't be a fat dad who can't play catch with his son. Started working out. A lot. Lost almost 100 lbs now I'm fairly shredded (from 26% to 10% BF), abs and the happiest I've ever been. My wife is still here and loves me no matter what body type I have. My goal is to live as long as I possibly can for my family.

"I don't like the jacked body because i worry about him being unfaithful" READ BETWEEN THE LINES! She is worried about him being unfaithful because she knows that that is attractive and so he will get lots of offers. This isn't quantum mechanics.

Ok there’s 2 you need to know fellas: 1. What a lot of women consider “Dad bods are basically dudes who are in shape but are bulking. If you really show a woman what a TRUE dad bod looks like, they will give it a thumbs down. So the reality is, No, women are not truly attracted to dad bods. 2. There are women out there who are attracted to dad bods, but not because dad bods necessarily turn them on, but because of the traits and cues that dad bods radiate eg. stability, less likely to cheat due to less competition, more likely to provide to compensate for his lack of physique etc. Usually those traits are tilted towards the dad bod guy having strong stable provider traits.

I exercise for myself. It helped me with my mental health over the pass 3 years which leads to better confidence. I am 31 now and it took me a few years to understand that putting yourself as a priority is much more important than trying to find a woman.

My wife loves me no matter how I look, but she also loves how much I improve my physique. We workout together and she takes care of her body and health as well so that may play into it. But she’s not insecure so that makes a big difference. I’ve dated an ACTUAL narcissist before and she definitely didn’t really want me to grow physically. She wanted me to stay pudgy. After I broke up with her I realized I was in the worst shape of my life. The right person will work with you. Now I’m in the BEST shape of my life, and I’m only getting better and better. Everybody has their own set of issues but when God sends you the right person (if you’re even willing to wait on Him; not everyone believes in Him and offcourse I see that) But when you find the right person, they make these things MUCH more pleasant experience 👌🏽 just make sure you be with someone that’s actually into YOU and not just an idea.

I hear this idea that women have different choices when it comes to long-term vs. short-term partners, and I noticed it too in my personal life. But I think one of the biggest issues today when it comes to dating is that women don't actually think "do I want a long-term kind of guy, or a short-term kind of guy" but instead they think: "I want a long-term relationship, with the kind of guy I'd also have a one-night-stand with."

It’s more socially acceptable to verbalize liking a “regular” body. It makes you look bad if you favor “superficial” good looks.

I had an ex who used to get upset when I would get really focused on training and diet. I couldn’t understand why. Then she admitted to me that when I was eat well and getting in better shape she felt obligated to do the same, and she just didn’t want too.

If a woman tells you she likes dad bods over fit guys I challenge you to wait a week or so when the topic is far out of her mind and find an opportunity to ask her who are the hottest male celebrities in her opinion, make sure to ask who are the hottest or most attractive, not favorite, because even Morgan Freeman could be one of her favorite actors. And the truth of what shes attracted to will be revealed, She will most likely name really fit actors or musicians, athletes than dudes with Dad bods. The reason I think you should wait is if you ask her right after she says she likes Dad Bods there is a chance she might virtue signal, humans tend to say what makes them look better whenever they are put on the spot or when they know their character is being tested, so she might name some actors or celebrities that she might really like but not necessarily attracted to their bodies because they are nothing special. Also Notice that there isnt a single male influencer with a large following who is known for his physique and looks who has a Dad bod. anytime a man builds a following on social media for his body its always because hes fit. Women do not reward out of shape me UNLESS they provide something else of value, like a comedian, musician or actor. But if his body is his selling point I can guarantee you he's in shape, If you disagree, tell me then where are all the male dad bod influencers who have a million women following them because of how attractive his Dad belly is? In reality many women are intimidated by a extremely fit man (Especially if hes handsome aswell) because beauty is typically something women have more of than men, so in their minds it is their best ability in attracting a respectable man, but when the man looks better than her she feels like her powers are outmatched and probably not enough to truly keep him happy, especially if his other options are hot as well. god forbid hotter than she is. So her emotions and insecurity prefers the Dad bod guy, but her fantasies and desires would like the fit guy. Pay attention to the influencers she follows on IG and the type of love and romance movies she likes, If she was a twilight girl back in the Day or Magic Mike or loves anything Michael B Jordan then she is probably not being entirely honest about what shes attracted to but more so telling you the type of guy that her ego can handle being with.

It's not about the body itself. Most women don't actually care about that. It's what the body represents. Do you have willpower? Can you stick to something? Do you respect yourself? Are you selfish? Can you delay satisfaction? Etc etc etc. Your body reflects these things

Never go by a woman's words, go by their actions.

Personal experience is that as soon as I hit a certain weight I stop having women look at me, then as soon as I drop to a certain weight I get looks again. I was quite ripped for a time and didn't remember getting much attention then, so I would agree that a lean but not crazy body is your best bet to attract someone. And yes, when in a relationship women will sabotage your exercise and diet to make themselves feel more secure, and you can't let them do that because it will kill your self-esteem and goals and then she'll leave you anyway.

A lady I spoke to on the subject of gym fitness Vs dad bod told me she wouldn't want someone committed to workouts and exercises "if he's spending time in the gym, he's not spending time on me," respect for honesty but I thought, you sound difficult.

Great conversation thank you

They dont want a dadbod, they want an off-season bodybuilder.

I prefer to call it a “Father Figure”😂😂😂

This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I’m 26 and have a pretty muscular physique, not body builder shredded but definitely athletic looking. Some girls love it, some could not care less lol. Everyone has their preferences.

I am a male romance novelist published under a female pen name. I am not a NY Times Bestseller because their system for tracking is corrupt, but I am an Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Having not only looked at the covers of hundreds of romance novels, but having read over sixty books as of this post, I can safely say that women do not fantasize about dad bods, nor do they fantasize about "nice guys", unless that nice guy is exceptionally better than the average male man. Physically: 100% of the books I've read, the guy is at least 6 feet tall. I have read ZERO books below this height. He is either in shape or he looks dangerous--he's tatted up or looks like he could serve time in prison and survive--in nearly all of the books I've read. Non-physically: In every book I have read but five, the man is an alpha male. No question about that. The rare kind of "nice guys" are usually the golden retriever types. A book like "Reckless" by Elsie Silver has one of these types, and even then, the guy starts as a bad boy in the past and becomes a golden retriever in the future. Rather, women like when the guy who does 80% selfish actions, is nice like 20% of the time, and usually just nice to her. An exception is if the guy is a single dad; in that case he does good things for his child, but the rest of his actions are pretty assholish and usually broody. Those are the numbers from what I've seen, take them how you want. Edit: Because of the upvotes, I want to say, there is one book that I've read where the guy is a nice guy, and didn't start off as a bad boy. It is called "Before Us" by Jewel E. Ann, and it is an amazing book. But out of the 60+ books that I've read, that is the only book where the guy is a nice guy from start to finish.

"Cheesecake your way into a new relationship" was an absolutely fantastic line 👌 😂

I am 51 and have had body fat between 4 and 20% depending on where I was in my life. Never had an issue finding women at any body fat level but definitely have noticed certain women prefer certain body parts. Women that are into chest or abs seem to prefer the leaner type typically, but women who are into arms or legs don't mind a bit of a belly. Between 2015 and 2020 I had a lot of women tell me they were into dad bods (and their actions followed their words - I was around 18 to 20% body fat then). Their reasoning was guys that were super ripped tended to be more narcissistic. Don't know how true that is but that was what I was hearing regularly

Thank you for posting: )

I once was told a philosophy /saying among woman " no one gets a six pack to sleep with one person" 😂

it’s important to note that to get away with a dad bod nearly 100% of the time you just need a good looking face. if your face is a little busted you are harder pressed to have a great body

chris! it's so nice to see that you will reach 2 Million subscriber soon!

What excellent content! Insta subbed. Cheers from France!

To be fair, I was in shape when younger surfing 4-5 days a week and later in life work dad bod. What mattered for me most was indifference towards women. They found my indifference attractive but also not hard on the eyes and that helped as well. Don’t chase women. Be busy and be busy on your improvement.

I am a boxer. Been doing it for 10 years. Most Women are freaked out by people like me. They like the idea of dating a “ wild animal “, but it is pure fantasy in reality. Extremes on both ends of the spectrum don’t work. Finding a decent balance between fitness and being non threatening is the sweet spot for both genders. Interestingly, I am actually a nerd who analyzes financial markets for a living. Just because I train hard and have competed in boxing does not make me a freak. I am just a little OCD, and training has been one of my focuses. In reality, I have never harmed anyone outside of the confines of a boxing fight or sparring.

It works the same way in reverse. Ask guys and a lot will say they like a curvy girl or a girl with some meat, not the anorexic look. But then you see who they actually pursue and it’s the skinny girls. I’ve been both super fit and quite chubby. When I’m chubby I don’t get a glance. No one wants to be thought of as shallow so they’ll say they prefer the ‘less perfect’ body types.

I love that Gabriel Iglesias' use of "fluffy" has been such an influence on us all.

I think it’s possible to want to look and feel good without being narcissistic

I have had multiple girlfriends try to fatten me up. Each time they say "Oh I like you with a little extra meat" or some other line as they encourage me to eat. A lot of it has to do with Insecurity, when your ripped to the bone and jacked they are afraid you'll draw too much attention from other women. The "Dad Bod" is safer to women if they are feeling insecure.

Im nearly 60, ive had the dad bod, hard bod, lean bod , jaked bod. During my dad bod Times is when I've picked up the most. Its more about confidence than what you look like.

"cheesecake yourself into a new relationship with a hottie" - best dating advice I ever heard lol 🤣🤣

15% body fat is still leaner than like 97% of the male population 😂 you also still have a 6 pack at that body fat percentage . thats also probably were zac efron and jason mamoa were when people were saying they had "dad bods"

I’ve lifted weights my entire adult life and any time I go on a cut or clean up my diet, without fail the girl I’m dating accuses me of wanting to step out. Women say they want their man to have goals but the only goals they care about are the ones that directly benefit them. Don’t believe me, tell your girl you’re working extra hard to get a promotion at work and then a few days later tell her you’re training to run a marathon.

After starting to go to the gym regularly, I definitely appreciate people who also take care of themselves more so now

Once again, when asked if dad bods are attractive, we get nowhere because people constantly conflate the two meanings of "attractive". When men ask "what do you find attractive?" they usually mean, to put it bluntly, "what get's you horny?" When women hear that question they will give a long list of non-sexually stimulating qualities they want in a man. If they do not feel like they'll be judged for their answers, for example if the survey is anonymous, they may also throw a bunch of actually sexually arousing traits in there. That's how you get "I prefer dad bods because they're less threatening, signal comfort" and so forth. They're not aroused by a dad bod, they prefer it as a body type over the generally more arousing body type of a muscular dude for a bunch of non-sexual reasons. Now here's the kicker: The list of traits which women will give you upon being asked what they find attractive in a man are for the most part traits they would like to have in a man they're already sexually attracted to, not things that will make the man atractive. In the same way, a dad bod is not sexually attractive (for most women), but certain women may prefer a less muscles and a higher body fat percentage on a guy they are already sexually attracted to.

Ive been having a hard time in my marriage, because ive decided to redouble my fitness efforts as i transition into my 40s. It seems like the better shape i get into, the more bitter my wife gets. Ive never cheated on my wife, or even allowed myself to be in a position of suspicion, but she seems to be bothered that im in just about the best shape of my life, and shes completely let herself go.

Loved this.

I have a Dad-bod because: - I work all day and when I’m not working I’m trying to be a good Dad to my 3 little girls by spending time with them, and what ever energy I have left goes to my wife. - my physical self image is no longer a priority. I have no desire to be especially attractive. I just want to be healthy enough to be useful to my family for as long as possible. - I’ve accepted and embraced this new stage in my life where my body naturally shows signs of older age (42). Humans weren’t designed to look one way forever. Life is about experiencing it, not trying to look youthful in your later years. If you look like you’re 20, embrace looking like 20 and living life as a 20 year old; if you’re 50, embrace looking and living life as a 50 year old. - more power to everyone who’s super fit. That’s important to you, and i absolutely respect it, but family and responsibilities are more important to me and I don’t have the time, energy, or need to be in top shape. Thank you

I was never into muscular guys until I started lifting weights myself and I began to associate all those traits you mentioned.

I’ve been a gym rat since I was 14, and I didn’t get laid until I was 25. I ended up marrying her a couple years later, and we’re still together after 15 years now. The belief that the gym bro is going to cheat or have a bunch of partners wasn’t true for me! 😂 I’ve only been with one woman!

You spoke about people who train consistently could be looked at as reliable. I have noticed the opposite. They may reliably take care of themselves but may not make it to a couples event due to their self focus. On one hand this may be bad but you have to admire someone who puts their health first.

As a wife speaking on my own husband and preferences, I’m more into the “dad disposition” or a masculine yet nurturing person. Not too worried about a bod, but it’s desirable to be with someone who takes care of their health.

I think you have to take into account whether or not the woman is athletic herself. I am a woman who has always been into health and fitness pursuits. Been a personal trainer most of my life. I can honestly tell you I would never prefer a dad bod to a lean male. And many of my female colleagues feel the same way. It's a shared interest thing.

If you want to know the truth of any conversation, you must read between the lines. He said it. The women feel insecure when the man is to shredded, he might cheat. And we all know women actually want a man who’s desired by other women. ( they don’t admit that though) so guys don’t stop keep getting shredded and your women will not leave you.

I’ve had a few women complement my dad body(I’m a single dad of 2) and dating as a single father. I used to be much better shape. But I’m glad I’m not being completely written off because of where I am in life right now.

A very good debate here

Are the women he’s been asking attractive or not? Because I feel like that has an affect on the answer they give to his question.

Interesting conversation. In my personal life, I've found that when I've been in a really good shape I get far more women, and the opposite when I'm not in good shape. I think it makes a big difference.

Dad bod shows that a man is secure and busy making money. He’s probably a little older and more secure in who he is. He is confident in things that matter, not just physical appearance. He is ready for commitment and puts others before himself. Don’t let social media tell you how to be. Be a real and true person who loves others.

Becoming a father really inspired me to set a good example and get in shape - but I’ve never felt the least inclination to do so for the attentions of a woman.

First of all, "never listen to what a woman says they like, watch who actually go for." This is the most obvious when it comes to personality or behaviorial traits where women will say they want "a, b and c," but then you'll consistently find them with guys that do not exhibit any of those things, but instead are "p, t and x." The "comfort" aspect of this is correct, however it's not because she fears he'll cheat necessarily. Always think about the ways in which it benefits the woman and her ego. If she's with a guy that is lean and fit, she feels pressure to keep in better shape both for him and to compete with the other women that will surely be showing their interest. From an evolutionary standpoint, a soft man does not benefit her or the genes of her offspring, so what are you going to believe: the words of women whose minds change based on momentary feelings, emotions and social influences, or their nature formed by evolution?

I had to deal with the whole insecure spouse, she would constantly bring fast food and act offended when you won't eat it, then they pretend to start exercising with you, and all they're doing is trying to take up your focus when you're lifting heavy and need to focus, then they start wanting to start making food and you find that they're loading it with crappy saturated fats, it got so bad I had to make my own food and also keep my food tucked away from her seeing it or it would be "accidentally" or "they thought the food looked bland so they added some dressing to it" it was constantly trying to sabotage my gains and muscle mass, women are the most insecure when you're leveling up because they suddenly realise that other chicks see your value and that makes them insecure as hell.

Very interesting.

Im glad he mentioned that last part, cause i do think context is important. Who women will marry vs sleep with are two very different things. Im usually on the leaner side but sometimes i go through bout where i must take prednisone for health reasons and my weight gets more heavy set. Ive found when im leaner, its often easier to hook up with less pressure of long term, but more heavy set, women more widely even older compliment me and see to be interested in long term relationship.

As a 36yr old I’m not what I used to be, but I have had girls then women chasing me since childhood. I’ve never cheated but most of these women have screwed me over. I’m not a “nice guy” nor a narcissist jerk. There is no point in asking a woman what she wants because she honestly doesn’t know and everything she says is a contradiction.

52 years of marriage have taught me that true love endures all physical challenges, including the bodily changes that come with aging. Marriage for life to a decent, caring, and sweet woman is recommended.

I used to be shredded and my experience was that girls loved it... But didn't want it in their stable relationship as it made them insecure. They seem to prefer a little bit of a gut BUT with strong shoulders and arms. This is something people forget when they talk about dad bods, you still need to work out. Who used to chop firewood all day? Dad probably... You need to look like you still could do that. 😂 I'm currently returning to my old physique and just like the girls in my 20s, now that I'm about 40 I'm hearing the exact same... But I don't care😂 let's go gym🎉

I just like muscular men but not super lean men. Super lean signals to me that they have to keep a very strict diet, and could interfere with what I like to make for dinner. It signals someone that takes themselves a little too seriously. Always thought there was something hot about a guy that will eat my left overs and can still kick some ass. I also prefer men that don't style their hair or have perfect clothes. I like 'em a little rough. They just seem the most masculine. But of course, that's just me. The very lean men out there are still very impressive and I respect it and I'm happy to have such dedicated men in our society.

I had a dad bod on and off. I started hiking and trail running slash walking at 40 and now do about 5 km each day with a 30 kg pack when my girl friend joins in and started loosing weight the insecurity issues stopped.

There is a video were girls said that they prefer dad bods over a fit body. When they showed pictures it appeared that what women classified as dad bod was DANIEL CRAIGS BEACH PICTURE IN JAMES BOND....

If either one in a relationship thinks the other will cheat, then the relationship is over. Having any body image jealously is dangerous at every level.

Dad bods signals kindness and a relaxed personality for me Edit: I do like them when they also have strong arms, though.

Dad bod = I’m not afraid of him. He won’t hurt me. It’s insecurity and fear. Fear isn’t love. The hot guy is the fantasy she doesn’t feel like she’s worth. It sounds like it’s just insecurity. Woman will cling to the dad bod guy as a comfort zone. They feel insecure and…it’s their own low self esteem that makes them choose “safe” partners. I’ve met men that do this too. Date down because they can “trust” someone less attractive then who they are really interested in. Fear I’ve lost woman before as I became more successful. They tried to sabotage my progress and growth because of their own insecurities. Tried to bring me down. So If you want to grow as a man and be your best self Make sure the woman in your life is very secure and very supportive Or they will try to drain you with drama to get attention Out of their own insecurities And they will try to make your life worse So you don’t leave them. It’s very backwards behavior Because it will sometimes cause a man to leave them So if you notice they try to drain you energetically with drama and attention seeking behavior Take shots at your diet and excursidlze routine It’s because she’s afraid of losing you She’s afraid of you getting too good for her and abandoning her If you let her do this to you Don’t be too shocked when you get all fat and she leaves toy for a guy on Instagram with nice abs after telling you she doesn’t like muscles ✌️

When I was in my best shape, muscular and lean, I got more one or two night stands than I can remember! When gym and extream diet was no longer a priorty and I gained a little fat, then my experiences with women was completely different. Im sure women experience the same when they lean out and change physical appearance.

Worked out hard for a few yrs Didn't really realize my shape. Took my t-shirt off in company. They noticed. Older now but the effort i put in has lasted. Highly recommended to young men.

I have the Dad-bod at the moment but I'm trying to get back in shape. For my entire marriage (25 years) my wife has always tried to sabotage my efforts by making high carb meals, showing up with my favorite junk food, etc... on a consistent basis. I've always suspected that it's because she gave up trying around 2 years after we were married. She blames it on childbirth, despite her complete lack of effort. Work out guys and girls! Wish me luck!

I like the way I look at 15%. It feels good and is easy to maintain. I'm sticking with that regardless of what women or anyone else thinks lol.

My gf always complains when I get below 15% body fat. She says I don't look healthy, but it just so happens that's about the same time I get the most attention from other women.

I’m in my 40s and been married for almost 15 years. I got healthy and lost a lot of excess body fat over the last few years and when I started getting abs my wife got insecure. This totally checks out, at least in my experience.

I'm a very secure woman and I DO NOT prefer dad bods. I want someone who has a body that requires *discipline* to maintain.

Hahaha my partner of 15 years is a natural bodybuilder. REMEMBER there is comp lean for a period of time but they reverse (or should) out. His legs, square pecs and muscles turns heads, men and women! I am not jealous at all, he’s been faithful for 15 years and he’s not vain. What you said around 6min mark is SPOT ON! He is consistent, masculine, he insanely focused, can push himself, he doesn’t drink alcohol or take any drugs, he cares about his diet and the house isn’t full of junk. Geezz a lot of women are too insecure and/or settle too easily. Dad bod is ok if you love him but I’d encourage him to be healthier

Women dress to impress other women. Men work out to impress other men. Men like clothes that reveal body parts doesn't matter the designer or style. Women like men who are relatively neat and not sloppy fat or mushy. No bellies.

I'm a former bodybuilder. I did a powerlifter competition once (it was fun to try). I'm fairly lean still and I don't want a man within the 15-20% body fat because that is more than me. I like a muscular man. Needless to say, I've been single quite a while :(

Having a "dad bod" (to me, anyway) means you no longer have 3 hours of free time to yourself to go to the gym, get a workout, run everyday, etc. You are working 12+ hours trying to get ahead in your work, providing for your home, and being available to your kids. The hours once spent doing bench presses is now switched to helping your kids do their homework and taking them to skating and karate classes. The $200-300 monthly you once spent on lean cuts of meats and supplements is now on family outings and diapers. That is a "dad bod".

Translation: Dad bod = anyone not a bodybuilder ready to step on stage. 😂 Also I've noticed that girls that say they like dad bods could never pull a guy who is actually in shape. I think it's their way of acting like they are choosing a guy who looks fat instead of being forced to date them because they themselves are out of shape.

They do want "dad bod" for a LTR but like he says, it means a man in good shape with a bit of fat and decent muscle. It does NOT mean fat and out of shape like in the thumbnail. It does not mean weak looking. A "dad" is certainly a protector.

IDK why this video got recommended to me but it’s interesting to hear guys perspective on what they think women like. For the most part I think they were dead on, but too often I see men trying to mold themselves into what women supposedly want taking advice from everywhere, looking for the magic formula. Please remember to do things for your own enjoyment, don’t just do stuff because you think women will like you more because you do x, y, z thing. And psst, yes, women like it when you have other interests outside of “getting women” (we can tell) because once you got a woman we need to know you’re going to spend your time doing something else.

Historically, I barely trust myself when I'm more tone. Too much temptation.

Maybe a person that eats what they want, when they want is just happier and more pleasant to be around.

It's absolutely comfort. Many women, when in a permanent ship of any kind will fatten up their man in an attempt to make them unattractive to other women. We have evolved to do this. I prefer a man in his lower teens body fat but it's not just because I think it's more attractive, it's because I know it's healthier. I'm in health and all I see are walking heart attack in dad bods😳 We need to learn to stay healthy together❤️

I've been training for over 20 years non-stop, but never been lean, I've always been over 20-25% fat and the main reason was, I hated dieting and whenever I tried it, I looked like a saggy scrotum. Never again.

Be in your best shape for you Stay strong stay healthy. As far as what women want or don't want they can piss off

What most women call a dad bod is a guy in decent shape who goes to the gym... but isn't fanatical about going or his diet... he invests more time and money in more important things.

I feel some gals go for the dad bod because they may be insecure if the guy is attractive. They feel he's less likely to have other suitors and they can be in control

So interesting.

I’ve had dating success as a skinny bony dude, a chubby dude, and a lean fit dude. So idk what to tell ya except different strokes for different folks. There’s no winning formula or cheat code.
