Just wondering, do many women go for a “dad bod” or is it strictly athletic men that attract women? Asking for a friend

I cant speak for all ladies

but i think Dadbod should be banned from vocabulary as it sounds like body shaming to me, its almost always used in a negative or apologetic way.

They are normal, everyday man bodies dont you think.

Always has a negative connotation.

Its seems its ok to bodyshame men because its always "a bit of banter".

I wear mine with pride!!

safe in the knowledge I'm working hard to improve it for myself.

There have been a number of less subtle body shaming comments aimed specifically at men by other men in the last couple of days.

They have been used as pedestal building blocks.

Didn't see or notice any bodyshaming but ya can't say boo these days and you're accused of bodyshaming. Let's find more fluffed up terms to camouflage the shapes surrounding and describing us.

I find the term dadbod is quite ok cos you instantly know what body type it refers to but it also packs in the life experience of the more settled man.

Anyhow nothing wrong with some love handles imo as long as the stamina isn't impacted.

Meh the term taken as it is shouldn't offend but as said above people are easily offended these days even when the term fits the person.

I now have a dad bod purely because I haven't worked out consistently in 6 years, guess what happened 6 years ago ...

. My dad bod is directly proportional to the amount of spare bedrooms in our house now covered in Lego. Am I ashamed of my body because I prefer to spend the time with my kids than work out 5/6 days a week again, fuck no. I just need to eat less Chocolat buttons and cheese strings

I find nothing wrong with the “dad bod” term.

I have one as far as I’m concerned. As was previously mentioned it comes with not having time to keep that 6 pack. Kids and life puts a stop to that but I’m proud of it.

As for what a dad bod is it can vary from person to person. Not so much as out of shape but maybe carting a few extra pounds in the belly side. I would regard myself as fit enough and not out of shape fitness wise but proud of my dad bod.

If such a role specific term is going to be used, where does that leave the people with similar body types who are not dads?

It’s not a term I’d be comfortable using, along with mumbod, milf, dilf, gilf and any of the other ilfs. (Am I an ailf such I’m an aunt

)

However, if you’re a dad and want to use the term to describe yourself, you do you boo

Those 'ILF's are complimentary. 'I'd Like to Fuck"

Not in the same category as mumbod or dadbod.

Isn't it simply about owning your shape, regardless of what it is or the terms used by other people to describe it, be that in a derogatory or complimentary term?

If descriptive terms were banned, there'd be none left because depending on how they're used in spoken or written language and body language, they can be taken up the wrong way or as an insult.

Own your body, own your shape, love it, love yourself, appreciate those who like and love you for who you are and ignore those who you feel are not on your wavelength - that's just feeding into toxicity, which is unhealthy all round

- just my two cents worth

They all come under the category of people making assumptions about your status as a parent. Not so complementary when someone calls you a milf and you’re 100% not one. Just my opinion on it, some like being referred to using those terms including dadbod.

Like an label, it’s usually better to let the person use it as a descriptor for themselves before you use it in reference to them.

Totally agree I'm very proud of my Mammy body it birthed and fed my kids. Yes my belly flaps during sex but sure it's all the more to hang onto. I embraced my imperfections and it's made me more confident and sexier.

Fair point I didn't see it from this perspective.

It's true that an *ILF is a compliment, but a *bod is a sly dig... but your right they both make assumptions about having kids.

I would still say I have a dad bod though even though I’m not a dad. Dad bod I feel is more of a descriptor than a reference to the product of my wild oats

Well thats the way to be.

I have just seen Dadbod being used apologetically, or with shame and in that sense was disheartened for the men who deserve to feel confident in themselves and their self-worth, regardless of gym time.

When it was first coined it made sense. It was an apt description for what it was.

Dad bod originally meant a guy who used to train really hard, has a well built frame, but kids and life have reduced that 6 day a week regime to maybe two or three gym sessions. They're still built, but have lil love handles and six pack isn't visible any more.

But it basically watered down to so many different descriptions its basically just a useless term.

Like when people ask are you say 'rugby build' and your thinking well hang on there's a HUGE scale that description can lend itself too haha

I think like lots of things it’s difficult to define, obviously people will like different shapes and sizes but I think they will also have a different perception of that they consider to be a Dad bod.

I’d say I probably fall into that category for some but may not for others, I’d say I’m a shape as opposed to being in shape, happy with what I have but always keen to improve.

This was being discussed on Today FM this morning, anything above a medium and you’re considers a plus size apparently, not sure how the taller lads are meant to fit into the non plus size category.

I think a dadbod is in the eye of the beholder...a guy might think or see himself as fit and toned but another person may not see him that way, it totally depends on the level of what a persons view on things is...l had a brilliant teacher in School and he once said when you walk down a street there are really 3 of you walking down the street..the one you think you are..the one others think you are...and the one you really are....so Dadbod or not Dadbod is all a matter of opinion...
