    The ability to rule the country without the inconvenience of having to be elected.

    Bullsh*t! I don't believe anyone would prefer a dad bod to a toned one. Shows how stupid these supposed surveys are.

    I think you are wrong, a lot of people are just not that body conscious to that extent. 

    I've never been ripped, and I've oscillated from overweight to in range - but they are all variants of the dad bod and I've always been happy with how I look. Getting to the guy on the right just looks like a lot of time, effort and not a lot of fun.

    Either would be fine, as my current look is more 'burst mattress'.
    Zem? Is that you?

    I am "heavy boned". At least that is what I have been telling myself since I was fourteen.

    No matter what I do, I am never going to be a slim ting...

    It doesn't matter how much I work out.  With all my body hair I'm still going to look like this anyway.

  • Blows my mind that some are calling the guy on the right "unnatural" - like .... no dudes... that's what we're supposed to look like. He's not jacked at all. He just eats well and moves. 

    The guy on the left is an absolute disgrace. Pretty much what I look like! :lol:

    Bye!

  • Put it this way, if I was forced to blow one of them at gunpoint, I'm going guy on the right. No sense in getting a headache from having to hold up a cows carcass of a stomach!

    I never had any body confidence for most if my life.

    I'm finally quite happy with what I see in the mirror.... and that is totally thanks to a woman who much prefers dad bods.   I think she's been fattening me up though ;)

    I used the word unnatural because the only thing that produces a six pack like the one in the pic in the op is going to the gym and forcing it to look like that. As I said I have moved plenty and ate well all my life and I don't have stomach muscles like that. Imo it's disproportionate to the rest of his body. The muscle is all bunched in the middle. He's done lots of work in one area an imo neglected the rest. It's a fashion. 

    I don't agree with "that's what we're supposed to look like".

    What do you mean by "that's what we're supposed to look like"? 
    That's not true Dave. You don't get a defined six pack through excessive gym work alone, diet is super important.

    We're supposed to look roughly like sinewy fighting machines. We're not supposed to look like fat bastards. That goes for men and women btw.

    Bye!

    Sounds like another reason to have a dad bod then!

    Does anyone think that the pic on the right is normal for a healthy person?

    Only time I ever looked like that in my life was when we went on a two week youth-club trip to the Isle of Man and the bstds running it skimmed about half the food budget for themselves and fed us on cornflakes and toast the whole time :)

    A six-pack isn't all that common btw. You need an exceptionally low body-fat content, and a fairly symmetrical set of abdominal muscles. People think they're more common than they really are because of the amount of images of males in the media with them - but that's primarily because that physique is the one that advertisers and media types promote.

    The guy on the right looks to me like a typical 'gym-bunny'. Too low a body fat content for comfort/health, over developed pecs, and not enough muscle round his core for any real  power or strength. Would look good in a t-shirt, but fk'all use if you needed him :)

    The other chap does seem to look about 6 months pregnant though ..

    Me too.

    But just to go back to the original question, wasn't the survey saying other people like men with dad bods?  I doubt anyone would actually want their own body to look like the one on the left.

    I think if you want to see what men would look like as nature intended you can look at people who live as hunters like the himba.

    Generally they are pretty low body fat with pronounced abs and pecs but not stupidly shredded.
