5 Reasons Why You Should Fall In Love With The Dad Bod

Let’s talk about something that few people really appreciate in life. Something that I am a die hard advocate for and hope you are too.

Ladies and Gentleman, I introduce to you: the dad bod.

The guy attached to that body is usually down to Earth and the perfect mix of both sides of the spectrum. I personally am not attracted to abs in any way, shape, or form. Sue me. I like cuddling with someone that I probably won’t crush ya know?

Anyway, here are some reasons why the dad bod is, in fact, the best bod.

Good for food dates.

Listen, you don’t need a guy who meal preps and sticks to ordering a salad with dressing on the side everywhere you go. I don’t need that negativity in my life and I’m sure you don’t either. I want a guy who is down to go to endless sushi with me or decide to order an extra large pizza and breadsticks to watch Netflix with.

Good for future reference.

In college, guys are typically in the best shape of their lives. They usually go to gym daily in between shotgunning beers and Taco Tuesdays. But if the guy you’re after already has a dad bod, then you’re not going to be in for a surprise when he inevitably acquires a dad bod. By then, he looks the same as he did 10 years ago.

I love cooking and they're not afraid to eat.

I was taught how to cook at a very young age and I love cooking everything. Pasta, wings, soup, you name it. I cook for everyone and I like making food and desserts for my friends and whoever I’m dating. If I make grilled chicken, brown rice, and flavorless broccoli then what’s the point. A guy with a dad bod will love when I decide to make Cajun chicken pasta at 1 in the morning.

Better at cuddling.

Look its pretty self explanatory, I don’t want to cuddle with a rock.

Tailgating is more fun.

Tailgating is about good friends, football, and great food. And beer of course. Dad bod’s always appreciate a good beer and a big platter of wings. It’s like science or something.

So to wrap things up, always say yes to the dad bod. And if you have a dad bod, you know where to find me.

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.
