I’m obsessed with this fucking thing. Did you know that I tweeted about it two weeks ago? I put it out there to my millions of followers: Be honest with me: Do I have a dadbod? I just need to know. Because I’m not really sure what it means yet and I need to find out. They said absolutely not, although some wonderful internet sleuths found a photo of me when I was not at my finest and said, yeah, you have a dadbod. I am a dad and I have a bod. So by definition, I have a dadbod.I’m not pro or con [dadbod], but it’s great that it is a real thing. My understanding of it is [that dadbod] guys are semi-jacked but have neglected this [points to decidedly anti-dadbod stomach], is that right? My new favorite term … are you ready for this? Skinny-fat. It’s a great one. Because it’s people who look skinny but aren’t, right? I think it’s time to start objectifying men. I think it’s time.”

Rob Lowe. Still beautiful after all these years.

I think dadbods are kind of sexy and older men in general!

In the 80s, Rob Lowe did so many movies with (rear) nude scenes that I began to wonder if he sought out roles specifically because of it. Many actors put “no nudity” clauses in their contracts. Made me wonder if he insisted on “nudity required” clauses. His quote here does nothing to dispel that hypothesis.

I’ve been objectifying men like Rob Lowe for a long time already.
Danny Mills
Only a straogh man would think men aren’t already objectified.
Alan Arthur Anglin
I can’t objectify someone I don’t like, and those Direct TV commercials didn’t make things any better

Rob is definitely one man I’d do even if he’s got a an extra hidden inch or two around the waist.

Rob Lowe is the ne plus ultra of dadbods. Get out of my way and gimme a spoon, because Mama is diving in.

Um, if you Google Rob Lowe’s Vanity Fair magazine cover, you will see that he definitely does not have a dadbod — and if that is, that is a dadbod of aspiration.
(His Men’s Fitness cover a year earlier was not bad either.)

If Rob Lowe has a “dadbod” then the term has already lost all definition (pun intended).
The original article that defined it was less than two weeks ago! Or was it only a WEEK ago? And silly as it was, it was actually based on a height and weight chart.
So in just two weeks the definition has become “any male exhibitionist older than 50”? That’s obviously an unneeded, un-useful term.

Didn’t Channing Tatum coin the term “fappy” (fat/happy)? Fap fap fap.

Men aren’t objectified. They are and they aren’t. Most of society views men as tractors and women as jaguar convertibles. Gay men subscribe to this thought process as well. They have been brainwashed just as much as everyone else. When one gender gets carte blanche to run around naked, people aren’t going to view their bodies as anything special.
