EVE SIMMONS: Don't worry boys - women find Travis Kelce's いわゆる 'dad bod' irresistibly sexy… here's what we DON'T like
A small 倍の of 肌 流出／こぼすs over his swim trunks. Tufts of fluffy hair でっちあげる，人を罪に陥れる a soft belly button. And those big beefy 武器 are calling out for a cuddle.
Forget six packs: If a man doesn’t have at least one love 扱う, I’m not 利益／興味d. And countless women feel the same. 信用 me.
America went wild this week over a juicy 始める，決める of topless beach pics; hirsute and extra hunky 長，指導者s tight end Travis Kelce vacationing in the Bahamas with his songstress sweetheart Taylor Swift.
The 力／強力にする couple looked blissfully happy and comfortable in each other’s company. Travis was even so bold as to 残り／休憩（する） his 手渡す on Taylor’s butt ? a PDA I very much 尊敬（する）・点d.
LOVE HANDLES: Kelce was teased for his dad bod while on vacation in the Bahamas with Swift - but the truth is, us women love it
Needless to say, I 完全に enjoyed scrolling through the さまざまな 発射s, as I imagine many ladies did.
I also 設立する the images rather refreshing. All too often, celeb beach snaps are a stream of stick-thin 団体／死体s or ultra-削減（する） abs, only attainable 経由で LA 外科医s or 餓死.
But here was a couple in fantastic 形態／調整 who looked… 井戸／弁護士席, healthy.
However, によれば a frighteningly large 列 of social マスコミ, Travis’s physique wasn’t something to be marveled at.
明らかに, this 支援する-to-支援する Superbowl 支持する／優勝者 has ‘dad bod’ ? a わずかに chubby 団体／死体 that you might 推定する／予想する from a middle-老年の man with a lapsed 演習 決まりきった仕事 and a beer habit.
The inference: he’s let himself go. (思い出の品 that Superbowl LVIII was last month).
Astonishingly, Travis, 34, felt compelled to defend himself against such ludicrous 中傷するs, taking to his podcast to tell fans he’s only carrying a bit more 負わせる because he’s on Spring break and enjoying a 井戸／弁護士席-earned offseason period.
How ridiculous. Famous 女性（の）s have been 支配するd to 批評s about their perfectly healthy 団体／死体s since the 夜明け of time. And now we’re 適用するing the same 有毒な 基準s to men.
CHAMPIONSHIP WEIGHT: He's just won 支援する-to-支援する Superbowls, he's する権利を与えるd to enjoy a 井戸／弁護士席-earned offseason period
First of all, as a health and science 新聞記者／雑誌記者, I can categorically tell you that Travis’s 行方不明の six pack tells us 絶対 nothing about his actual health.
As we know from his on-field 業績／成果, Travis is built like a house. That we can’t see every vein and muscle sinew is 負かす／撃墜する to a わずかに higher level of 団体／死体 fat than that of a Dior 滑走路 model. That’s not a bad thing.
熟考する／考慮するs have shown that men with いっそう少なく than 13 パーセント 団体／死体 fat (considered ‘運動競技の’) are at 危険 of 批判的に low testosterone ? which can play havoc with everything from mental health to the 免疫の system.
Intriguingly, other 研究 even 示唆するs that too much 復部の-muscle 集まり raises the 危険 of heart 病気.
科学の conjecture aside, it hardly needs 明言する／公表するing that Kelce ? a man with more than a １０年間’s 価値（がある） of エリート sport under his belt ? couldn’t be その上の from ‘unhealthy’ if he tried.
Sorry to break it to the weightlifting-obsessed gym bros, but a lifetime of 正規の／正選手 physical activity is a better predictor of a long, diseas e-解放する／自由な life than the 量 of 明白な muscle on a 団体／死体. 熟考する／考慮するs have long proven this.

For at least six months of the year, Kelce and the 長，指導者s are fed a meticulous calorie-controlled diet consisting of an 豊富 of fresh fruit, vegetables and lean meats, 用意が出来ている by team chef Kumar Ferguson.
But more to the point, Kelce’s physique is pretty impressive even as it is now, in ‘offseason’.
What man wouldn’t kill for his 殺し屋 pecs, sturdy thighs and 幅の広い shoulders?
If this muscular, manly ? and 率直に incredibly attractive ? build is みなすd ‘overweight’ and lazy, what chance is there for the 残り／休憩（する） of us?
And crucially, what message does that send to a young 世代 of boys with rising 苦悩s about the way they look, and what 構成するs ‘normal’?
厳しい eating disorders are にわか景気ing の中で young men. Some major US diet-関係のある clinics have 報告（する）／憶測d higher than 100 パーセント 増加するs in male 調査s since 2022.
特に rife is a type of 演習 obsession known as ‘bigorexia’. Boys become obsessed with 本体，大部分／ばら積みのing up and getting more ‘削減（する）’. They dedicate hours a day to the gym and 跡をつけるing their food and ‘大型のs’, all at the expense of their mental health.
A slimmed-負かす／撃墜する Kelce is not nearly as manly - or handsome!
Social マスコミ and the 増殖 of ‘perfect’ 団体／死体s is of course part of the problem. But so is a culture that 令状s off one of the greatest 競技者s in the world as a bit pudgy.
As it is, there is so much more to life than the way we look.
All my girlfriends would agree that a man with a perfectly preened and sculpted torso signals one big red 旗: he spends far too much time in the gym (and looking in the mirror!).
Where would a girlfriend fit into that schedule? Would we get to enjoy all the best parts of dating ? the lazy 週末s with ice-cream tubs and big bowls of spaghetti?
Truth is, women couldn’t care いっそう少なく if you’ve got a bit of a belly. If anything, it takes the 圧力 off us having to 激しく揺する up looking like a Victoria’s Secret model every night.
In the immortal words of Cindy Lauper, we ju st want to have fun. And Travis’s handsome でっちあげる，人を罪に陥れる tells me that he does too.
