'Dad bods' have been acceptable for years. Are mom bods next? (archive.ph)

I'm sure what they call a "dad bod" is like a mildly overweight but still plenty active man. Whereas the "mom bod" they will want is one who struggles to get up out of a chair and has to use the motorized cart when they go shopping.

Judging by the one on the left, you think correctly.

Bitch, that absolute obeast Tess Holliday is pushed as a "supermodel". Any more questions?
Dad bod is like... ooooh, he is hot and a bit bigger. It's not a fat guy. He is not ugly. Just not like a 16 pack gym addict with zero body fat one you see in a Marvel movie, who just got injected with whatever horse dope they use on them to look like they are superhuman.

Also, what the fuck is with making it sound like women are somehow making a compromise and generously allowing in subpar-ish men?
A normal, average woman is not gorgeous and flawless and that is okay. For a woman like that, why would it be an absolute necessity to get a perfect Ken doll?

I just finished watching a YT video with CinnamonToastKen. To me, he is the dad bod kind. Like he is not super fit, but he looks good. Someone like that is absolutely not a fucking "UGH, I give up, maaaybe I will allow him".
Besides, in a relationship it's not good to act like you are settling for the other person, that's awful!!!!

When they say "dad bod", they mean a guy who was ripped but stopped going to the gym 6 days a week to focus on other stuff for a while. He's always just six weeks away from being ripped again. It's like a really pretty girl who is carrying 10-15 extra pounds. She's one diet and exercise plan away from being a rock solid 8.

One 2021 study found that 75% of single respondents preferred "dad bods" to the traditionally toned male body type. But are "mom bods" next? Not so fast. Experts say mom bods aren't likely to trend in the same way — at least not anytime soon.

Oh man “75%” of women looking to settle guys! This is totally accurate science. I’m sure 75% of guys having consistent sex and relationships have dad bods….. right?

When you see a number like 75 percent that's a huge red flag that the methodology behind the study is likely shit.

When it ends up a nice round number like that usually the sample size is dogshit, probably tested 20 people they hand picked .
