There are endless amounts of body types. Body types are far and in-between. Some flattered, some a joke. The "Dadbod" is just beginning to have a stronger appeal on women of all ages, at least thats what this article states. I strongly agree with Pearson, when she states that, "the dadbod doesn't intimidate us," she brings out a fine explanation of the female attraction to dadbods. While many people find Dadbods unattractive, it is clear to see why some find them as attractive. No girl, woman, or lady wants to be with a man who is obsessed with how he looks. The dadbod creates a happy-medium for the male and female. It creates comfort within a female knowing that she doesn't have to worry about constantly having to watch her weight to impress, while still being able to be with someone who is still viewed by many as attractive. If a guy is not worried about maintaining a sculpted physique than a girl does not feel overwhelmed by making sure that her appearance is better than ever.
"The Death of Pretty"
Pat Archbold, the author of," the Death of Pretty," defines pretty and then begins to explain that he does not think that younger generations are aspiring to be "pretty." While it is obvious that the later generations have less self-respect in some cases, I do not agree that they prefer to be regarded to as "hot." Personally, I would much rather be labeled as beautiful than hot, However just because one lacks modesty doesn't mean they are looking to be labeled as hot. Although, I do agree that our problem is within society and that the value of innocence is not held to standard of which it used to be held. I do agree that compared to past generations woman have changed the way that they present themselves, however I do not believe that to dictate wether pretty has gone away.
I completely agree with your take on the dadbod article. I think the dadbod is more attractive to women because they can be comfortable with how they look and not need to stress over it. I like how you said the dadbod creates a happy medium for male and female. On the death of pretty essay, I think the author thinks women no longer want to be pretty because of how society and the media portray beauty. Just because the media has an opinion of what women should look like doesn’t mean that is what all women long to be.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI couldn't agree more with your thoughts on the dadbod. From a guy's perspective, I could see how some women wouldn't like a man who is obsessed with his physical appearance. Most men feel more comfortable around a woman who appreciates her body rather than obsesses over it. Also, I agree that the problem with being defined as hot or pretty is a problem within society that the people will have to adapt to.
