“Dad bods” are stirring up trouble again. Last week, Evo Psych researcher William Costello posted an informal poll on X asking men and women (separately) which version of Olly Murs they thought looked the most attractive–a “normal” version of the English singer, looking basically fit but with a slight hint of a belly, or a muscled-up version of him after 12 weeks of intense workouts at the gym. The poll went viral, garnering some 725,000 views. And not surprisingly, if you’ve ever waded into the dad bod discourse before, the men mostly thought that muscley Murs looked better; women even more overwhelmingly preferred the “before” version.
