Yeah I know what you mean lol. I do prefer the new meaning though -- I always felt the original didn't really fit, since it's more common for dads to simply be chubby or fat without the muscles underneath

No it's for real, I've dated someone who was genuine about it. I was hella out of shape at the time and she didn't care. I also sometimes see it on people's profiles. It's usually people who are genuinely okay with dad bods and want to be in a chill relationship where they're not judged for their bodies either
