The ‘perfect’ male body type, according to scientists

It’s a great day for those with a ‘dad bod,’ because according to a new study, it’s the body type women find most attractive.

Forget chiseled abs and ultra-lean physiques, researchers have found that ‘dad bods,’ with their softer edges and a bit of extra padding, are actually the gold standard for male attractiveness.

The study, published by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Personality and Individual Differences, even put forward theories as to why people with this kind of physique are the most appealing.
