Women find men with a little belly more attractive

You might think that you need a true six-pack to be somewhat appealing, but nothing could be further from the truth. Especially eat that pizza and especially have that popsicle dessert. Because a little belly has never been so attractive.

And this is especially true for men, research shows.

With mayo, please

The company Planet Fitness has been researching the ideal male body type for three years: do we prefer muscles or round butts? In the latest survey, nearly 3000 people were interviewed and yes, in three years the beer belly has never been as popular as it is now. At least 65 percent of women say they find a man with a belly very attractive. In 2018, this was still 57 percent.

Dating

We find a man with a bit of fat around his torso quite interesting, as other studies also show. A man with a cozy beer belly has a 2.5 percent higher chance of getting a date. Women and men click less on photos of men who are completely toned or carry intense muscle bundles. What else matters? A man with a height of 1.84 m is the most loved, it turns out. And in terms of age, you’re all set around your 34th if you want to date.

Healthier

Also Dutch men are increasingly happy with their own reflection. They think it’s fine, that little belly. 78 percent also believes that a belly is a sign of a man who is confident about his own body. In other words: it just makes you a real man, that belly. A thin flat plank? That’s for boys, not for the real men. And there are more advantages. It seems that the somewhat sturdier man has a greater chance of a longer life than thinner men. This is shown by results from a study conducted by Professor Bribiescas, author of the book ‘How men age’. The somewhat sturdier man has a lower chance of having a heart attack and prostate cancer.

Well, bring on those portions of fries with mayo. Your man can now eat it with full conviction.
