Dad Bod revelations and Frank

5/22/2015

News on the BBC this week has filled me with joy because it would appear that blokes with a bit of a belly are now considered hot by chicks.

Here are some links for you to follow if you don’t believe me.

Having written a few weeks ago about chubbiness being good for you in the fight against dementia, having what is now known as a ‘Dad Bod’ apparently makes a chap more real, more interesting, more cuddly and therefore more attractive to women.

There are grey areas, one can’t be fat per se; ideally there needs to be evidence that one was once fit and strong and has allowed the fitness to take second place to enjoying life – the dad bod is a physique that is mellowing with age and starting to go to seed.     

The great news is that, having been a keen long distance runner and a karate kid up until relatively recently, I totally fit this bill!

Maybe I should get myself the Tinder app and get out there before “young and ripped” reclaims the desirability crown…

…or maybe not because the social media storm hasn’t made it clear if being an ugly bastard negates the benefits of the dad bod.

There follows a polite request to my lady readers: help me here, am I an attractive proposition to you, my marital status aside – would you otherwise think me hot date material? I am sure there are enough photos on this site for you to make a call.

Or, am I demented?

I suspect that I can guess the answer to my question; on the subject of dementia (which my belly is hopefully protecting me from) that reminds me to mention that I watched a lovely film this week. “Robot and Frank”, shown on BBC1, about the relationship between a man with dementia and his robot carer/friend, was a joy to watch and I recommend it to you all.

I have since ordered the DVD so that if I find myself getting a bit forgetful in my old age, I can watch it again, and again and again.
