Muscle theory: Difference between revisions

There is also allegedly greater online, self-reported appreciation for "Dad bods" in America. There really is no universally accepted definition of, "Dad bod", but all definitions include a lack of abdominal muscle.  This made the news to due an online study, not by any academic source.  The "study" was by Kelton Global, a company which owns the gym Planet Fitness.  This "unbiased study" showed a small majority of women self-reporting that "Dad bods" are sexy.<ref>https://finance.yahoo.com/news/planet-fitness-study-finds-love-130000740.html?guccounter=1</ref>  And a larger majority preferring to marry men with Dad Bods, than men with a six pack.<ref>https://blog.bcbsnc.com/2018/06/dad-bod/</ref>  If these results are true, they simply only show self-reported preference, not actual preference.  In other words the women were simply asked in writing, it was in no way a blind study. Additionally, according to anecdotes, it may be true women have an actual preference for less muscular men in marriage, and this would follow the theory of the [[dual mating strategy]].
