However, would they be the ideal husbands? Apparently not.

According to Malaysian Chinese newspaper Sin Chew Daily, a survey conducted by fitness centre Planet Fitness in Jun 2019 shows that most women prefer men who are slightly chubbier compared to the muscular ones.

Most women surveyed prefer thicc-er guys

In the anonymous online questionnaire that was completed by 2,000 women, 70% of them state that they prefer men who were 10kg heavier than the average healthy weight for a male.

On the other hand, 78% of women find that men with “dad bods” are more comfortable in their own skin.

A total of 80% will feel proud getting married to men with “dad bods”. If this term is new to you, it’s a slang to describe a body shape specific to most middle-aged men.

Research shows chubbier men have more sex appeal

To substantiate this survey, Sin Chew Daily cited a research conducted by Richard Bribiescas, an anthropology professor at Yale University, saying that chubbier men are more inclined to buy looser pants.

Comfortable bottoms are said to help improve sperm count.

 

This apparently leads to women subconsciously thinking that chubbier men will have a higher fertility rate, hence being more attracted to them.

For reals, though?
