yes that's very common, i'd wager that most women like some fat on a man. i've heard it theorized that the 'dad bod with strong arms' build is indicative of a man who actually goes and and does things and lives life and his body is a natural result of that, whereas the big muscles cut look is indicative of someone who just spends their time at the gym

as a guy with big biceps getting towards 40 who has put on a few pounds (not thor fat thankfully)...

lifting weights and staying in shape is about hating the man you see in the mirror, and wanting to be able to kill other men, not about anything women think

if anything, the thought that there are women thinking I look just fine not in peak shape makes me irrationally angry and makes me want to lift and diet harder out of spite - because it means my problems are on the inside where I can't hurt them

if you were a man and this was your woman and she grew into this face over your life and was the mother of your children, you would find it very attractive

if you were a man looking to make babies, this has no visible fertility markers and does not even register as female

if this sounds cruel - well, people are machines that exist to make more people and that wiring is designed to ensure men hump new children into existence

They didn't have gyms in 10,000 BC. Women are even more genetically based than men when it comes to their brains. If this is true that women like dad bods, the reason would be a dad bod proves that he eats well and thus can provide food not only for her, but her offspring.
