I saw somewhere recently that a lot of women like a guy rocking a dad-bod. Gotta raise the bulls~~~ flag on that one. But first, WTF are we talking about?
Guys get married, have kids, then get out of shape and overweight. First of all, I’d say it’s not because he’s a Dad so much as because he’s married. Sure, kids can be a pain in the ass, but they aren’t nearly as demanding as wives are. Give a kid a cookie and he’ll shut up. Give a woman a diamond and she might shut up. Then again, maybe not. At any rate, I think I’d prefer the term, Nag-Bod.
This happens because the guy spends years busting his ass to support the family, with little or no time to himself to do things like go to the gym. He hits McD’s every day at lunch because the wife won’t make him a sandwich, and in fairness he doesn’t give a f~~~ enough to make one himself. So his life consists of working, then coming home to work some more attending to the wife and kids. Over time the drudgery and stress cause his testosterone levels to drop, until we eventually see him…broken…at the mall…holding his wife’s purse.
Meanwhile, the wife is perfectly happy with the situation, even though she’d prefer a guy that’s in shape. This is for three reasons. First, she doesn’t have to have sex with him because they’re married. Second, if he has low sexual market value, then he’ll be less likely to leave because he’ll have fewer options. It’s a real win-win! She wins, and then she wins again. Third, if he’s fat, she can be fat.
Our hapless hero in this scenario has a choice to make: Either keep on with the drudgery to avoid the divorce raping, or suck it up and get out. Avoiding divorce rape is the only reason the divorce rate isn’t much higher than it already is. Cheaper to keep her. But is it really cheaper, if your life is ruining your health?
If you’re in a miserable marriage, get the f~~~ out! And don’t think you have to stay for the kid’s sake. They’re not better off with you having your spirit slowly crushed at home. This is one of the reasons the suicide rate is higher for men. They get stuck, trapped, with no apparent way out. By contrast, women know they’ll come out on top in a breakup, hence their lower suicide rate.
But there is a way out. You just have to be willing to endure the f~~~ing gauntlet you’ll have to run in order to do so. Yes, life will suck for awhile. But only for awhile. If you stay, life will likely suck for the rest of your life. You have to just rip that band aid off.
Once the dust settles, you will have more freedom. And more time to take care of yourself. You can get back in the gym, back on the mountain bike, and back into life. Your blood pressure will drop, along with your cortisol level, stress level, and anxiety level. Think about it. What would it be like to not come home to a screeching harpy after working hard all day? (Screeching harpy term borrowed from MGTOW is Freedom. Thanks John!)
The nag-bod is more evidence of a severely gynocentric system. The idea is that it’s OK to let your physique go to s~~~, so long as you’re doing all that’s expected of you. F~~~ that, gentlemen. You have a right to have time to train, and to not have to work so much that you start falling apart, just because the wife wants a bigger house or new car.
If a woman claims to like a nag-bod, it’s only because she knows the guy is controllable and most likely easily manipulated. But you can bet your ass that she’d rather f~~~ a guy with a six pack.
