So the latest thing is apparently the 'dad bod'. The Dad Bod

So I thought I'd check and see what the ladies of the lifestyle think of the dad bod.

1) Yeah, love me some dad bod.

2) Fuck that. I have a dad bod at home. I want a hard body in swingerland.

3) Actually the dad bod is a little TOO buff for me.

4) The closest thing to a dad bod I want is Brad Pitt...in his Fight Club days.

5) Yup, I like me a soft cuddly guy.

6) Fuck meatheads. My vajayjay is a no lunk zone.

7) I like to rub my clit on a nice set of 'ribbed for your pleasure' 6 pack abs.

8) I like my men with more cushion for the pushin'.

9) If the dad bod becomes a thing in the lifestyle I'm movin'...to Mars.

10) Just an excuse to eat potato chips and skip the gym.

11) Don't even get me started on the societal implications of the obesity epidemic in America.

12) Yummy! There should be a whole swing site JUST with dad bod guys. Call it Swingular Plus (Size).

13) Dad bods are fine for a hubby, NOT for a boy toy!

14) I weep for the future of the human race.

15) I'm gonna go get my sweetie a couple dozen Krispy Kremes!
Yes, meant to be humorous but I'm also curious what the ladies think since obviously in swinging there is a much different dynamic than the vanilla dating/marriage mindset. Is it American women evolving away from a more superficial way of looking at men (don't hold your breath on men doing it anytime soon) or is it a cop out and excuse for guys not wanting to exercise and eat right?
Maybe. But since the 'dad bod' thing seems to be trending on the internet right now I thought I'd see what female swingers thought about it. And yes, women, in general look for different things in a partner than men often do but in swinging, since they're not looking for fidelity or someone who is a good provider or a good father perhaps they would indeed be more critical of physical failings (more like men?) than they would in the vanilla world.

Mrs. Delicious appreciated me staying in shape but I think she appreciated more that she never, not even once had to change a diaper when I was around the kids. She changed plenty of diapers as a stay at home mom so when I was around I took care of diapers and most of the dishes, often with the aid of a child old enough to start to learn how to do dishes. I used to get up super early as in 4:30 a.m., ride a bike 12 miles to a gym Monday through Friday, work out 90 minutes, clean up. ride the mile to my office, put back on my gym clothes and ride home the 13 miles in the evening, so I stayed in excellent shape without robbing the family of my attentions very often. I did the home work with the kids, PTA, community council, boy scouts, girl scouts, little league baseball, basketball etc., etc., right along side her and the kids. I was back home from work by 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. almost every evening and during the weekends we ran around with the kids and I would do most all of the cooking since she was home most of the week. We had a at least one date night for just the two of us every week too. We did not start swinging until we were older because we just did not have the time. Well sometimes it seems like we still don't. If any of her friends conveyed admiration to her about her man it was not about my early morning exercise routine or my body. Since the kids grew up and she went to college and is now employed and working out of the house I have changed things up a bit and work from home a lot and do a lot if not most of the mid-week choirs. I am willing and able to evolve around life and family rather than insist life has to revolve around me. I am a team player for a championship team for well over 30 years now.

For a lot of women choosing between a hard body or a dad body is pretty easy if the dad body has what it takes to be a real dad, husband and lover. The authors of the article seem to be thinking that way.

So maybe a woman's perspective on choosing a sometimes lover is still somewhat influenced by character at least as much as by the body. Maybe not, it probably depends on the woman.



For me, totally influenced by a man/husband character over his body. For me again, knowing that my gfs husband takes care of his responsibilities as a father and a husband is much more attractive than six pack abs. Absolutely a deal breaker for me. I rarely play with single males unless they are bfs of a couple I am with. I spend much more time with husbands as part of a threesome. Almost always, if the husband is not taking care of his responsibilities with his wife and children, I would never meet them, hard to think of a time where I met a couple where the husband was a dud and she wanted to share him with me. I would definitely categorize a man taking care of his family as a sexual attractiveness in him. my 2cents
Holy fuck! Is that what Bill Murray looks like these days? I'd venture to guess if he's still gettin' any it's the fame and fortune factor, not the body or wardrobe.
Yeah but this poll is about the 'dad bod'...not the 'gramps cadaver'.
You mean he's still alive?!!? I thought he'd been stuffed and mounted somewhere...or maybe that was a wax statue at Madame Tussauds.

Huh huh...You said mounted.

For my .02, I'll take a man who has a few extra pounds that he's confident to show and doesn't hinder his sexual performance over a guy who's toned and neurotic about staying that way. That's no fun. I'm soft in many spots, will certainly tone and firm a few areas in the summer months w/ the work I do but I love my body as it is and sharing it in the ways I enjoy and know best; I like to think that's the sexiest trait of all.
Mr. Delicious ~ Very well said!!
It's not about having the perfect body, but I definitely like someone who is making an effort to be healthy. A few extra pounds is not a big deal. 100 extra pounds is, for me. I'm very busy, but take the time to be healthy so I enjoy that in other people. However, I absolutely look for character, intelligence and personality as well.
