Been hearing a lot about "Dad Bod" lately.
I'm not completely behind the term, because it kind of has a bit of a negative connotation.
Dad bod....when I hear it, I think...well, Walmart, Big Belly, hairy back, white socks, and dirty sneakers.
But right now it's HOT...From advertisements to movie stars...women are endorsing the basic man body aka dad bod.
But just this past week...I got a look at what the younger generation is calling "dad bod"
Joe Jonas.....Dad Bod...
DAD BOD!!!???
and this?....
ooooh wait...
wait....maybe dad bod?...
but he doesn't have any kids!!!
how about this dad bod?
I don't know, I'm not buying it.
Here's why...
The internet is going crazy over Joe Jonas's new thicc stature.
and hating on Jason?
at least Jason Momoa has kids....not to mention his smoking hot wife.
let's talk about this
These guys are sexy....
185# or 320#
they are sexy AF and I would not consider this daddy body, but even if it was, I wouldn't care or blink an eye.
are they getting a hard time over it? maybe they should, they haven't had any kids or birthed any kids, all they are doing is enjoying life for a bit of time, eating a few donuts, and smoking cigars....so I can't really knock that.
But I am a bit jealous.
Now let us examine the phenomenon of
MOM BOD
No one, not even most moms ,want mom bod.
We fight it, try to correct it, hide it and never ever show the results of carrying a 10# baby, let alone twins or triplets.
I was lucky...
I had good genes on my side.
At 5' tall 105# I had 2 almost 10# babies and came out with cellulite on my ass, minimal stretch marks on my hips and that was about it.
I give credit to my exceptionally deep belly button.
(it is literally like the black hole)
But take a look at this real look at Mom Bod
I cried the first time I saw my friend's belly 3 years after she had her kid...
she had a 6# baby but gained 72 #s
It looked like a tree trunk. She had lost the weight but never regained the elasticity and now deals with skin that she tucks into her pants and tries to be proud she made a beautiful human.
SHE MADE A HUMAN!!!
what did you do Joe Jonas?
mom bod from mom.com
It's all good, but scroll back up and look at Joe Jonas, and tell me....
what would you rather???
Dad Bod, or Mom Bod?
(at this point I personally would do any bod...)
But that is a different post.
from an article in The Conversation
“The dad bod is a nice balance between a beer gut and working out. While we all love a sculpted guy, there is just something about the dad bod that makes boys seem more human, natural, and attractive.”
and I agree.
I love dad bod.
So, if you are rocking the Basic Dad Bod...you are in luck, it is in style right now.
You lucky men don't even have to lift a finger.
except to maybe eat a donut and drink a beer, hell, you don't even have to be a dad to enjoy the benefits of the dad bod....
Let the records reflect
dad bod is THE bod.
So, love your thicc self
The world is embracing the Dad Bod
