The Death of Pretty/ What is a Dadbod?

In the article The Death of Pretty by Pat Archbold, the thesis statement is,” Pretty, pretty is dying”. The article first starts talking about what the definition of pretty is, which is an equal balanced of projected innocence and beauty. Back in the days many women wanted to project beauty and innocence to the public, this brought out the best characteristics in men which were to protect this beauty and innocence. The “woman” of today are not the same as the ones in the past, they rather be described as being hot. Hotness value is temporary, unlike prettiness. Nowadays, woman would prefer to be called hot but, but most men would prefer a pretty woman. The society we live in today no longer values being innocence. The next article is named Dadbod: A New Word for a Timeless Physique by Spencer Kornhaber. The thesis statement of this article is, “Is dadbod a hashtag joke or a social-sexual movement?” The article explains what a dadbod is by using a quote by Mackenzie Pearson, she explains that a dadbod is someone that occasionally works out but continues to eat however they want…which causes a little stomach. Even though the term “dadbod” is new, the idea of having one isn’t. Pop-culture promotes woman to be body cautious, while men should rock a little flab. The tables have turned when woman start saying the pros of a guy having a “dadbod”, there’s multiple outrageous characteristics that women have associated with “dadbods”. One of the characteristics were that men with “dadbods” were better at sex, this characteristic shows how some women started talking about men like they’re sexual objects much like how some men do to woman. Most men do not find the term “dadbod” as being offensive, some of them actually praise the term.
