The internet has been blowing up with blogs all over about this new "dad bod" phase. Showing pictures of shirtless out of shape men and calling it "sexy". The writers of these blogs talk about how it's sexy because being with men that are physically fit hurts their self esteem and it's not intimidating. Sounds to me like the people who wrote these blogs have some serious self esteem issues that should be addressed.
A lot of us who are in shape don't spend hours at the gym as she writes in her blog, a simple 30 mins is all it takes to get in a good workout a few times a week and a lot of us aren't on ridiculous diets as she also writes, we eat taco bell and drink beer just like everyone else. We love and respect our bodies and instead of being intimidated by us maybe they should start doing the same.
She also goes on to say that "we like being the pretty ones" which is also another sign she has self esteem issues, relationships shouldn't be about who is prettier then who and if your looking at it that way your superficial and probably shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. She then ends with "you know what you're getting" as if all men just stop working out when they get in a relationship, which sounds to me like settling.
A lot of men even fathers stay in great shape because they care about their health and want to be around a long time feeling and being healthy. It seems this generation needs to stop looking outside of themselves for approval and attention and start loving and caring about themselves more. Until that happens were going to continue to see blogs posted by people with opinions that come from a lack of self worth and like she said she feels intimidated, which I for one think is sad.
