Dad bods vs Gym bods

[j03]

Dad bods. To me the very buff gym guys look abnormal. Abnormal in the sense of not the norm, not as a definition of crazy abnormal. The norm is not a guy with rock hard 6 pack or watermelons for biceps. As much as some younger girls may want that to be the norm the simple reality is that it is not. The norm is the guy with a bit of a belly or some chest hair or muscles from working at his job not from spending hours a week in the gym. So I personally choose the normal guy, the guy any random man on the street could be, the "dad bod". Not the guy who looks like he would pop if you poked him or the guy who looks like he has had his fair share of steroids. To me that just looks so abnormal.

What if you work all week and still manage to stay fit and hit the gym often?

If a guy wants to spend their free time at the gym then so be it. I personally will still pick a "dad bod" because of my personal disinterest in gym guys. To me big bulging muscles from gym workouts make me want to avoid that man. I have zero interest in working out or going to the gym so I automatically have disinterest in the gym buffs. For me it is hard to show interest in someone if I know that a major part in their life is an aspect I know I greatly dislike. I cannot stand going and working out. My way of staying fit is eating healthy and going out for walks. I have nothing against that individual going to the gym and enjoying it's just personally, if given the choice, I would choose the normal looking non-ripped guy over the gym buff.

sad but true, i can't stand 90% of comedies or sitcoms for that reason. fat/average dude with a funny sense of humor? sure, he gets the hot chick. but if you had a woman, even an attractive woman, who is fat or even "dad bod" level chub, they'd never pair her with a fit boyfriend/husband/whatever unless its played for jokes.

Honestly the only show I've seen a maybe "average" sized woman with a fit man is Melissa and Joey, which i love! If I were to be real nit picky about it, I'd say she's the TV-acceptable average woman because she's curvy with a small waist.
That aside she's a babe woooooowie

Please at least make sure they're legal.

I'm all about do whatever makes you feel good, etc. Some people love hitting the gym, others don't. So, you do you.

However, personally, for my OWN romantic interests, I'm not really about the 'gym bod' -- aka huge muscles, six pack, etc. It's a bit of a turn-off, though I won't write a guy off just for having a gym bod lmao.

Both my SO and the guys I've dated in the past have all had fairly nice biceps, but no six pack (a bit of flab, etc.) It's important to me that the guy is able to be physically active (I love to hike, canoe/kayak, etc), however.... so uh, while a 'dad bod' is great, if the guy is significantly weaker than I am, that's gonna be a turn-off too.

I think one of the reasons girls tend to prefer the 'dad bod' is because dating a guy who is extremely, extremely fit usually also means he spends long hours at the gym and staring at himself in the mirror.... when he could be spending those hours cuddling with his girlfriend, staring at her (heh), or engaging in other *ahem* activities. Another benefit of the dad bod.

Personally, I'd appreciate a girl that squats. Big ass pls. I am a fellow "gym bod" person thingy. Just a fit guy with regular tastes.

I prefer dad bods mainly because if I dont go to the gym everyday I don't expect my partner to do so either. I feel if I ever got into a relationship with a gym bod person they would force me to go to the gym everyday.
