The 'dad bod' has been floating around the internet for a while now- and according to MySingleFriend.com- women are suckers for a 'dad bod' over a toned guy.
Relationships on Female First
But women are not only accepting of the more relaxed physical look- 56% would happily date a guy who had kids from another relationship. In fact, 13% would rather date a guy with children because it shows they have a family side as well as a 'dad bod'!
This family focus is important to women when asked about the qualities they find most attractive in a man, eclipsing the likes of job prospects, height and outside interests.
Those aged between 16-24 are most likely to rate family oriented very highly in what they are seeking in a partner and third would see this as a deal breaker if a man didn't want kids in future.
But 'dad bods' are making women far more excited than six packs- in fact, females are hoping they will bring one rather than have it on their body. One in six believe this to be the ideal body type for a mate compared to just one in nine who want a gym lover. Welsh women are the most partial to the 'dad bod' in all of the UK.
Sarah Beeny, founder of MySingleFriend.com and TV personality commented:
"It is no surprise to me that women love to date men with children from a previous relationship. There is something about the sight of a caring, sensitive man looking after his children that makes women's hearts melt. And who wants a guy that's all muscles when you can have a real man, paunch and all to cuddle up to."
