That’s right, according to them, the money Magic Mike took in the box office indicates that the humble “dad bod” is not as desirable to girls as the ripped bodies of Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey.
However, much of the rest of the Twitterverse begs to differ and, ignoring the questionable logic that movie income hinges on specifically female attraction, have applied the novel take to some more films.
Here are nine more types of body “girls like”.
1. Big, green and burly.

2. Tall, blue and capable of a record-breaking box office.
Avatar grossed 2.788 billion. If you still think girls like guys who aren’t blue aliens with handy braids that double as glowy sexy time plugs, keep dreamin pal. https://t.co/TSwCTuuYNU
