Dad bod. It's a word that keeps popping up on social networks. Facebook and Twitter. If you follow anyone anywhere the word keeps popping up. Dad bod. So, what the heck is Dadbod, or what is a Dadbod and why should we be familiar with the term. I wanted to know, so I punched up ole Google and found, According to The Washington Post:

"In case you haven't noticed lately, girls are all about that dad bod," wrote Clemson University sophomore Mackenzie Pearson a few weeks ago. A dad bod, as she defines it, "is a nice balance between a beer gut and working out. The dad bod says, 'I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time.'"

Here's the neat thing about it. Evidently women, or at least some women find it attractive or at least semi-attractive when guys have a Dad Bod!

What are the determining factors in having a Dad Bod.? Might I, by some fluke of nature, have one of these Dad Bods?

Well, they have a way to determine that too! I'm 6 feet tall. Turns out if you weigh between 184 and 213 you have a Dad Bod. Weigh less than that, sorry.  Weigh more than that?  Too bad. Oh, and you have to be between the age of 20 and 54. I'm 53 so technically I qualify!

This morning, buck naked wearing nothing but a smile I tipped the scale at 208.  Boom! I have a Dad Bod!

Dad Bod. It's so popular Jimmy Fallon is even talking about it!
