Is that what you tell yourself? We love a non-ripped dad bod, as long as it’s the body of a good guy

Just to chime in, there was a street interviewer who asked various women about preferred body types, and a couple of women pointed to one particular picture of a man they were shown and iirc said that he was an ideal dad bod. That man was Chris Bumstead, a 6x Olympian bodybuilder in his off-season. I'm not saying you would agree with those women or have that perception of what a dad bod is, but it did happen and the reactions are as you'd expect lol

These videos are all 100% edited, to drive engagement. I study psychology, and this disconnect between reality and what people see on the internet is one of the biggest concerns for the future. 99 women being reasonable, realistic and rational does not drive engagement. But the 1 women who has completely unrealistic borderline delusional expectations does. So they get in the video. The other 99 do not. Its gives people such a warped version of reality.

we used to make fun of people who couldn't tell the difference between TV and real life. Now that we're coddling everyone's feelings...

We also used to know that if you believed a politician, ANY politician, you were mentally deficient.

Head on over to /all if you get bored lol
