Before the "Dadbod" became one of the standards of being an irresistible man in the modern days, women have already considered a man who carries a baby hotter. There is just something about guys who carry a baby that makes them hotter to all women.
According to NYMag, there was an experiment that revealed women are 40 percent likely to give out their phone number to a man who interacts or plays with babies. The reason to this is that women find these men responsible when they will have their own baby in the future.
There was also another related study about this topic where women can really tell which man is baby-friendly. Some women were shown few photos of men that have a neutral look and one who looks more masculine. A lot of women considered a baby-friendly looking man hotter than a man who looks more masculine.
As posted by Parenting Science, the result of the study concluded that those men who are baby-friendly made them very attractive as a potential husband and a long term partner. There is actually no precise or definite explanation about this kind of attraction but there is another supporting idea why men are more attractive with babies.
In a post from parenting page called Mommyish.com. An author named Valerie Williams, have explained well about the world's perception of women compared to men. In the natural laws of nature, women are expected to be good mothers who will take care of their babies.
All females are supposed to be ready as a parent when they grow as an adult. For men, their expected role as a father is to provide the basic needs of his family and the responsibility of taking care of the children is for the mother. So if a father has good parenting skills that can take care of the children like mothers do, it's a very big bonus making them very attractive to women.
If you are a bachelor reading this article, you better not ignore if there are babies or kids around you because a lot of women would use the "baby-friendly" looks as a basis of a good long-term partner.
