We are now at the point in life where Adam Sandlers are considered more attractive than Tyson Beckfords. Dad bods have been a thing since 2016.
These body types are usually found in middle aged men which have a combination of muscular and overweight frame.
Planet Fitness did a study that revealed more men and women found dad bods more attractive than the model-like physique.
According to the study, a man with this body type is confident on how he looks and is not concerned about looking good to impress people.
“Nearly four in five among both women and men (78 percent) believe a ‘dad bod’ is a sign of a man who is confident in his own skin.”
The popularity of this physique was boosted by celebrities like Chris Pratt, Eden Hazard, and Danny Dyer.
Chris Pratt says that he needed to get in shape for a movie but gained all the weight back and it did not bother him.
Eden Hazard, one of the highest paid football players, also showed off his dad bod with confidence.
The study also found out that not only are dad bods attractive, 61% of the respondents consider them sexy.
