Great news for all those guys who have a few 'extra' pounds around the midsection: You are actually considered extremely sexy to more than half of the female population.
What is a 'dad bod' you ask? According to Urban Dictionary, "Dad bod" is a male body type that is best described as "softly round." It's built upon the theory that once a man has found a mate and fathered a child, he doesn't need to worry about maintaining a sculpted physique.
If human bodies were cuts of meat, the dad bod would skew more marbled rib eye than filet mignon; or, if human bodies were sea mammals, dad bod would be more like a grazing manatee than a speedy dolphin. Having a "dad bod" is a nice balance between working out and keeping a beer gut.
However, you CAN have a dad bod without ever fathering any offspring.
So sorry, gym rats, dad bods are all the rage now and we teamed up with The Single Society to do some extensive and (slightly) scientific research as to why these fantastic specimens are suddenly so irresistible. So crack open a can of beer and a box of Twinkies and start working on those dad bods, fellas.
