I’ve never witnessed someone swooning over a “dad bod” in the absence of other physically attractive qualities. Like, I’ve only heard people point out celebrity"dad bods"–and those celebrities are all conventionally handsome dudes who at one time had more ripped or sinewy physiques. A person who gushes over the dad bod attached to Leonardo DiCaprio’s head probably wouldn’t do that for some rando, no-name dude.
I’ve also not encountered anyone elevating a “dad bod” over other bods. Like, I’m not thinking a male stripper with the prototypical dad bod would get more dollar bills thrust into his thong than a more ripped stripper, unless the dad bod stripper had exceptionally sexy dance moves or a big package.
