Well, when this most recent survey was conducted, it found that love for the "dad bod" continued to rise--more than ever before! In that survey, it was found that:
- 71% of men say the "dad bod" has become fully accepted by society now...that's up from 63% last year.
- 79% of men with a dad bod say they're happy with their body, up from 64% last year.
- 78% of both men and women say a dad bod is a sign a guy is confident in his own skin.
- 65% of people say a dad bod is attractive...61% say it's sexy...and 51% say it's the "new six pack."
Coincidentally, less than one month before this survey was published, a stir in the fashion world happened when the clothing company, ASOS, promoting & selling crop tops for men. This nearly broke the Internet with the amount of confusion that ensued. This got the attention of the folks at the TODAY SHOW recently & they chimed in on the debate.
I've had a whole drawer full of "cut-off" tees for years. Ever since I was annually trekking out to Bushnell, IL for the "Christian Woodstock" festival known as Cornerstone. When I read about these trends this month, I thought that maybe in this age of acceptance & diversity that guys will get the same treatment as gals when it comes to "belly tolerance"...
It's time for guys with "dad-bods" to push back on the belly shaming...and let it all hang out. Get comfortable with your physique & throw on a crop top while you celebrate Father's Day, 2019. Let it all hang out...join the "Navel Air Force".
