11 Reasons Why the Dad Bod is Actually the Worst

I know that a guy having a "dad bod" is thought of as a huge turn on for a lot of girls, but I am here to stand up for the girls who cannot stand it. Personally, I have never been attracted to this type of thing, and neither are some of my friends. Here are a 11 reasons why the dad bod is actually the worst:

1. Girls are always expected to have this amazing body when guys don't try the slightest bit.

2. I already have issues reaching up to hug someone. I don't want to have trouble reaching out in front of me.

3. It is more impressive when a guy takes off a shirt and you can tell he at least attempts to work out, and not be near to what the dad bod looks like.

4. "Dad" is in the term.

5. Because the word "dad" is in there, that's like a girl saying she's attracted to what her dad looks like.

6. A mix of the beer gut and a hairy chest is the furthest thing from being a turn-on.

7. It's an excuse for guys so that they don't have to work out.

8. When a girl has some fat on her, a guy will freak out and not think of them as hot.

9. A guy will pretty much brag about having "a beer gut."

10. It's dumb to even brag about drinking. We're in college, almost everyone does it.

11. This is supposed to be the prime of our lives. Everyone wants to look back at pictures and think, "Wow, I looked really good when I was in college."

So girls, please don't encourage the dad bod. Guys are stubborn and won't listen, but maybe, just maybe, they won't think of it as an acceptable thing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
