These are the 'women' , who cares what they think .
Shocka, fat chicks like fat dudes so they won't feel pressure to hit the gym.Exactly

http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/women-lusting-dudes-dad-bod-article-1.2214449It means, "guys with 'dad bods' won't leave like the fit guys".
Flab is the new fab.
No need to lose the beer belly, fellas: Women are lusting after dudes with "dad bods" — a little extra gut around the middle.
“(It shows) you love life but also have the good sense to not let yourself completely go,” says Marie Dugo, a 26-year-old marketing manager from the Upper East Side. “You can take them to family parties and eat cake together.”
Ladies love guys who put the focus on fun, not physique, saying they’re friendlier, more mature and less narcissistic.
“He would come across as a fun, goofy guy not stuck on himself,” said Diane Hunt, 50, of Jersey City.
The love is spreading across the country, and even the world, with women as far away as Scandinavia cherishing the chub.
“Looking too fit can come across as self-centered,” said Dothe Lodberg, 22, from Denmark.
And guys certainly aren’t complaining.
“You look at the people on Men’s Health and they all have 13-pack abs,” says Alan, a 37-year-old corporate banker from Inwood. “The fact that society is starting to find normal physique sexy is a good thing.”
But don't call "dad bod" a trend — men have been letting themselves go since the dawn of time. But the topic entered the zeitgeist last week when 19-year-old Clemson University sophomore Mackenzie Pearson wrote a pro-dad bod piece in her college magazine, The Odyssey.
She called the dad bod "a nice balance between a beer gut and working out.” Her article has since been shared 452,000 times.
To Pearson, the man with the dad bod goes to the gym, but he also pigs out on pizza. He drinks protein shakes, but isn’t above a platter of wings. His mere physical presence suggests cuddling and unpretentiousness.
Since writing her piece, men have thanked her for helping them feel less insecure about their less-than-buff bods.
"Guys are flattered," Pearson said. "They weren't ashamed of this body type, but now they have a reason to be proud of it. Someone young and female has said, 'This is what I'm looking for.'"
New York Magazine took the movement one step further last week when it created a hypothetical diet for men wanting to look this schlubby: Orange Gatorade, Clif Bars and Trader Joe's frozen burritos all made the cut.
Some think the movement is both sexist — it’s like the male equivalent of being a MILF — and old. After all, gay men have fetishized “bears” for years.
But the main problem with the dad bod is maintaining it when you’re a real dad.
"The dad with 'dad bod' is working to keep it just at 'dad bod' level," said Brett Singer, 44, a writer on the Upper East Side. "Once you've got kids, if you want to wear the same pants as when you were 20, you're gonna have to hit the gym."
Another bullshit story from the fad brigade.
The first and only article I read about the dad bod was basically a laundry list on how the writer felt insecure about her body and didn't want to be with somebody who looked better than her. Oh brother

it's a feel-good article inspired by recent fat Leo DeCaprio pics.
it makes frumpy 38 year olds feel 'okay' about being frumpy, when being frumpy isn't okay at all.
hate to say this, but how is this any different that us liking pics of women when "fattier" compared to their lean after pics?
I can understand why a lot of women are kinda turned off by guys who take training seriously because a lot of our free time/focus is on us.
Boobs
Whats the difference?
Boobs
That's pretty much it. Put a big rack on a chunky/thick girl, and most guys would not give it a second though!Moobs
Chubby guys, well......... :-\
Unless a guy has money, a female will almost always prefer a guy in solid shape. This is a funny article. People will also tell themselves anything when they can't achieve a decent build in a gym. Usually, just juice to erase their shortcomings.
These are the 'women' , who cares what they think .
AJ pissed because his wife may leave him for a Dad Bod. ;D ;D
Women dig the flab, not the hardness.

What irritates the fuck out of me is how newspapers in New York City try to set trends and fads and fake shit. And what's even more irritating are the legions of urban cuntz that lend themselves to these social control bullshit stories.
Social programming via MSM has been going on for many decades. Most people believe everything they hear and see because it was on/in the news. The majority of the worlds population are sheep.
And how about the men sporting a lumberjack beard? WTF?
Just because you're wearing a beard doesn't take away your 2 metro-sexual years you half a fäg!
Well all women care about how much money a guy has regardless of how good his body is.
The thing is... Its easy as fuck to lie to women about how much money you make and what you do for a living. No you cant have any real relationship based on lies, but you can bang a chick for a while before she figures out your broke as fuck. And 50% chance she wont care after a while. Never underestimate the power of oxytocin. Usually in most cases I dump women out of my league because I get bored of them. I haven't been with a girl making less than 100k a year in almost a year. .
Guys use the money thing as an excuse to feel better about their lack of success with women.

Women don't lust over "dad bods", they lust over the same shit guys lust over. A guy can lust for a bikini model, but most guys have enough brains to understand that dating one would be a huge pain in the ass. Women want men that give them attention and who aren't self centered, and most fit guys are self centered. When it comes to lusting over something, of course they lust over abs and muscles and a good jawline. But they understand that if they date a guy like that they'll be in his shadow, so they settle for a guy with a beer gut who gives them attention and likes to get hammered on weekends and is a "fun" guy.
Women would not even care about this stuff if the guy has money.
Money trumps everything.

By Summer time, this "dad bod" foolishness will be forgotten, as they drool over the guy with abs at the beach or pool. And then it's "ab bod" by Sept.
I kinda understand as I prefer a fatter one during winter but don't like that look in summer time, lol... Hard to find a nice thick, yet not fat girl who won't spill over and become all disgusting.
Gotta pick em right!...
Agreed, but lets say they had a choice between two guys, who both had equivalent amount of money, one looked like a mens physique competitor (not super muscular, but good conditioning, six pack, and enough muscle), and the other has a "dad bod" and someone asked them to pick one for a one night stand, guaranteed they'd go with the muscular guy. For long-term relationship with feelings involved, I'd bet they'd go with the "dad bod" (btw, can we use some other term? if I type "dad bod" one more time I'll throw up on my keyboard).
Its an oversimplification, of course, but knowing how self-absorbed fit guys are, its no surprise women want nothing to do with them long-term.
noone lusts for dad bod
join a gymnastics gym, or a wrestling gym, budo gym, judo gym... go swimming.
Athletic phat women are found in those parts in our world, never clubs.

You text a girl a few times and talk to them on pof all of a sudden you are "with" them come on bro quit bsing. Your not seriously dating any of these woman who make money. Your just getting your feet wet when it comes to women. You have a lot of learning to do still a lot.
His finest work. You can tell that this dad bod thing pisses him off and he nailed it.
I love how some guy I haven't spoken to in a year and a half knows what goes on in my love life. Another thing is you forget Im in Los Angeles now, what seems impossible back home where we were, is very easy to do out here.
When you hang out in places where people have money (Newport beach, orange county,certain clubs in hollywood) you are going to find some girls who got it going on with the $
His finest work. You can tell that this dad bod thing pisses him off and he nailed it.Funny thing is, a month off training and he's got one.
Yes, they'd go with the "DAD BOD" but not because muscular men spend too much time in the gym. Women use this as an excuse: I dont want to date a muscular man because they spend too much time in the gym or they are self-centered, etc. Total bullshit. Many muscular men have families, jobs, etc, and are able to balance the two just fine (working out and job/family). The only reason they do not want a really muscular man is because maybe they feel intimidated, thinking other women will be going after him. Or perhaps they are not in good shape themselves.100 per cent spot on
As I stated previously, the general population does not have a clue about exercise and fitness. People think you have to spend all day in the gym lol. You can go to the gym 4-6x per week, 45-90 minutes each session, eat right, and have a good body. Hell, you can do all of this before going to work, so youre free at night. It doesn't take much. But people who are out of shape want to feel better about themselves and say its impossible to have a good body unless you're obsessed. ::) ::)
Every post in here screams im a f/-\ggget
