What distinguishes a "Dadbod"?

[Never1AShow]

I think you cannot be considered in any way to have a Dadbod if you have:

1.  Any sign of abs
2.  Any obvious musculature
3.  Any muscular vascularity

Even if you are fat.  Toka Swolla does not qualify for a Dadbod for instance.

A person who clearly in no way cares about how they look with their shirt off.

Softness and smooth all around
No visible delts or traps
No visible definition in arms
Waist bigger than chest

I saw a very obese person at the supermarket yesterday.
He had a stupid huge beard.
He also had on a powerlifting shirt that had a statement on the back that read something along the lines of:  "when you possess awesome amounts of power, you can demand what you want.  If it is not given, you can simply take it."

I was chuckling looking at him and his wife who were both obese.  I was thinking of WWF tagteams and the announcer saying:  "Competing at a combined weight of over 500 pounds and hailing from parts unknown..."

There is a guy at my gym. I would say moderately builtby gym standards, but he wears special forces and sniper slogand tshirts and he doesnt strike me as the ex military type.

Rule: if you're wearing a t-shirt that announces your membership in an elite military or police organization, you're lying. The real-deal guys will put ANYTHING ELSE on but that.

The more I think about this, the more I think that the media/societal definition is: the kind of body where you can take your shirt off in public and not be embarrassed even though you have no muscles or visible abs.

The term is then morphed by a bunch of fatties to include a much larger segment who should be totally embarrassed.

Jason Blaha?

Jason Blaha?

Yup.

[Hulkotron]

Huge without being stupidly huge, powerful looking, lean without being stupidly lean, an aesthetic physique many can appreciate.

A good everyday look, easy to maintain without a ton of gear.

Dad Bod

This is NOT a Dadbod because there are some visible abs.

Agreed. Did you notice Basile creeping in the background?

Haha no but I see him now

[Spike]

Just any fat fck who doesn't give a shit



Just a cop out so fat asses can feel 'ok' out in public with there wives when they get moist starring at some dude who takes an hour out of his day to actually move and break a sweat



It's the same as a push up bra, those spanks things, anything to make being lazy ok and any asshole who works out can fck off and die alone because you don't have a body type that's 'trending'

[Never1AShow]

The more I think about it, you do not have a Dadbod if anyone ever asks you "do you workout?" especially if your shirt is off.

Not a dad bod, face is still relatively lean and most women would say he has a good body.
