We all know what our dads look like on the normally
everyday occurrence. The author claims a dad bod is "I go to the gym
occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends, and enjoy eating eight
slices of pizza at a time." When I think of my dad I don't see this in him
what so ever. In fact I see a guy who works out, and drinks lightly with one or
two slices of pizza. The dad bod to me is an excuse stating "that finally,
you’re just like everyone else." I would be offended by the name
dad bod since the term dad implies an elder age. I would hope that I can stay
looking young forever, and not just one day look fifty. The dad bod won't stay with us forever, and is just a temporary thing for now.
Girls are falling into the same predicament. Except
instead of dad bods they are losing their pretty. Pat Archbold describes pretty
as a "balanced combination of beauty and projected innocence."
However, "People will define pretty differently." I disagree with the author since pretty isn't going anywhere. It's simply put being viewed with unique new terms. Pretty is a vague opinion, for example I think that bright and calm colors are pretty. Especially when compared to brown or black. With the word pretty does come an "innocence", while calling a girl hot is turning her into an object. Pretty isn't gone just expanding into a vague space.
