I don't think this is BREAKING NEWS or anything, but yet another survey has proven that women prefer the "dad bod"!
Dating.com asked over 2,000 women which body type they prefer - the "dad bod" or the super fit athletic bod - and nearly 75% chose the "dad bod". The study also found that over 20% of respondents said that body type doesn't matter when looking for a mate, and that only 15% prefer the chiseled, athletic look.
I'm totally with the 75%... I'm not going to lie, I do follow a few male thirst traps on TikTok with rock hard abs and they're certainly nice to look at, but when it comes to dating I never needed a guy to be ripped to shreds. In fact, the few really fit guys I did date made me feel very self-conscious and insecure about my own body. It wasn't that they did or said anything, it was more about feeling like they might be judging me even if they weren't.
Here's me with my husband and his "dad bod".. and his good sense of humor, which is way more important that abs of steel!
So... which "bod" do you prefer and why?
