The remarkable appeal of “Dad bods”

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Dave Ashton

Hey, guys…thinking about indulging a little on St. Patrick’s Day?

Go for it, man…”Dad bods” are in!

Dating.com polled its members and 75% say they’re a fan of “Dad bods”…meaning not TOO big, but not exactly “in shape” either.

In fact only 15% said they prefer a more chiseled look!

And there’s this…20% said body type isn’t that important…personality matters more!

Hey…if you’ve got it…flaunt it, baby!
