11 Reasons Why the Dad Bod is Actually the Worst

I know that a guy having a "dad bod" is thought of as a huge turn on for a lot of girls, but I am here to stand up for the girls who cannot stand it. Personally, I have never been attracted to this type of thing, and neither are some of my friends. Here are a 11 reasons why the dad bod is actually the worst:

1. Girls are always expected to have this amazing body when guys don't try the slightest bit.

2. I already have issues reaching up to hug someone. I don't want to have trouble reaching out in front of me.

3. It is more impressive when a guy takes off a shirt and you can tell he at least attempts to work out, and not be near to what the dad bod looks like.

4. "Dad" is in the term.

5. Because the word "dad" is in there, that's like a girl saying she's attracted to what her dad looks like.

6. A mix of the beer gut and a hairy chest is the furthest thing from being a turn-on.

7. It's an excuse for guys so that they don't have to work out.

8. When a girl has some fat on her, a guy will freak out and not think of them as hot.

9. A guy will pretty much brag about having "a beer gut."

10. It's dumb to even brag about drinking. We're in college, almost everyone does it.

11. This is supposed to be the prime of our lives. Everyone wants to look back at pictures and think, "Wow, I looked really good when I was in college."

So girls, please don't encourage the dad bod. Guys are stubborn and won't listen, but maybe, just maybe, they won't think of it as an acceptable thing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
