Planet Fitness is known as the 'Judgment Free Zone' with their whole Lunk Alarm thing and all, which is good, because most of us who hold a membership there are the type who would probably be judged at other places.

The gym franchise has put together a survey every year since 2017, tracking what people's feelings on the 'Dad Bod' are.

In 2017, the first year of the study, the results showed that 69% of women found Dad Bods attractive.

That number has climbed steadily, with this year boasting the highest results.

This year, those numbers come out to an even 70%, or 7 in 10. So if you've had a few too many beers or burgers and have what I call 'The Six Pack (o' beer),' any room of women you walk into will at least have a couple ladies looking at you lustfully.

In addition to the attractiveness of the Dad Bod, dad's reportedly feel like they're better dads because of the pandemic.

88% of dads said they feel they've become better parents, and feel that their relationships with their kids and spouses have only gotten stronger in the last year.

Some other fun facts about Dad Bods:

  • 72% of women and 68% of men responding to the survey said they feel like there's definitely a universal acceptance of the body type.
  • Four out of Five women said they feel like Dad Bods are a sign of a man who is confident in his own skin.
  • 65% of women define Dad Bods as 'Sexy.' 
  • 59% of women said they'd rather be with a Dad Bod than someone more muscular
  • 48% of women say the Dad Bod is the new six-pack.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
