"Dad bods more attractive than muscular physques" study finds

source:https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/hea...cid=spartandhp

Apparently, doing crunches isn't all it's cracked up to be!

A new survey by Planet Fitness has revealed more Americans prefer a guy with a "dad bod" to a someone with rippling abs. For those that aren't familiar, a "dad bod" is a slang term for a physique somewhere between a beer belly and a six-pack - think your actual dad.
National health club chain Planet Fitness commissioned the study which measured the attitudes of over 2,000 men and women and found that more and more males are self-identifying as having a "dad bod."

The results indicated that 65% of men and women find a dad bod attractive, and 61% think a man with a fatherly figure is sexy. Most surprising was the discovery that more than half believe a dad bod is sexier than a ripped, lean stomach.

But the results also went beyond the physical, as there were mental perks of not having the abs of a Marvel super hero, too.Nearly 80% of men said they were happier with their dad bods, while 78% of men and women think a dad bod is a sign of being confident in your own skin. Body positivity is a good thing.



There's hope for the Misc after all!!!

Taking a survey from planet fitness is laughable. Anyone even remotely into fitness stays away from that place like it has rabies.

A planet fitness study.. I legit feel bad for people who are low IQ enough to think this study is true. It would not be worth the effort to explain to them that planet fitness are essentially sjw *******s and women mostly lie about what they want and also women at planet fitness are mostly ham beasts

Huh, so a gym whose business model depends on people signing up, paying membership fees, and not actually using the gym is encouraging its members to not actually use the gym. That's surprising.

Well after searching the internet for a link to the actual study, I've discovered that either 2005 or 2132 people took an online survey, and the one link to non-filtered results is some image that can't be clicked.

Conclusion: pure bull**** concocted by Planet Fitness.

this is the problem with a biased sample. the sample is overweight, that's a fact. most people in the US are overweight, so guys are going to say they are ok with their body and women will say they prefer an overweight guy because the women are overweight too. that doesn't mean women are more attracted to overweight guys.

Funny, there's a lot of tweets, articles, and talk-shows that gush over whatever new Marvel superhero heartthrob is on the market; never seem to get the same reaction to the semi-obese, love interest in the romantic comedy.

Curious, indeed.

Yeah, but there's a problem with the fitness industry too (especially the hardcore or BB population). All one has to do is glance at a few pages of M&F in Walgreens, and the average person might feel the need to compete with these "specialized" images that are being marketed as the "every day" physique...and they're not! Everyone wants to look good, but most of the images glorified in these mags are giving many people (especially Gen Z) the impression that in order to succeed in dating, relationships, careers and life, one MUST try to completely emulate the professional figures/personalities they advertise.

Sometimes an overdeveloped physique is too intimidating, and that's why the "dad bod" (or the average body) can be appealing to many. It's a tough standard to live up to...especially if one is not in the industry or cannot put in the time (or energy) for maintenance. This topic has been discussed in the news before, and not just by supposed results from sample surveys by Planet Fitness.
Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.

Let's show RESPECT for the POLICE and ALL FIRST RESPONDERS by helping to keep THEM SAFE AND SOUND, and thereby able to PROTECT US!

Fat out of shape people voted that being fat and out of shape is more attractive to push the fat acceptance campaign.



This is literally the same thing as retarded people voting that being retarted is preferential to being mentally sound
