STUDY REVEALS THAT WOMEN PREFER MEN WITH BIG BELLY TO MEN WITH SIX PACKS
Several surveys and studies have found that a significant number of women often prefer men with a softer “dad bod” (a bit of a belly) over extremely defined six-pack abs, particularly for long-term relationships.
A well-known Planet Fitness survey found that around 70% of women consider dad bods attractive, associating them with confidence, approachability, and stability. Other research has shown similar trends, with many women ranking moderately soft but healthy builds higher than ultra-lean, muscular physiques.
While six-packs are still viewed as attractive by many, the findings suggest that extreme leanness isn’t always the top preference.
Preferences vary widely by culture, individual taste, and whether it’s casual attraction or long-term partnership.
The topic continues to spark lively debate online about body ideals and real-world attraction.
