dad bods

Paternal pudge look

A dad bod is a male physique that's soft around the middle—not overweight, but not toned either.

The term emerged as affectionate acceptance of the average guy's body, especially after fatherhood: He's got a dad bod but he's comfortable with it.

The concept pushes back against pressure for chiseled abs, suggesting a relaxed, approachable attractiveness.
