Prof Bribiescas also argues that becoming more podgy makes dads more likely to invest their time in their children rather than looking for other women, while the increased levels of fat could make them more attractive to women.

Her fun with the alphas is gone, now it takes a guy who is a servant to her and her bastard child and whos gonna work for them instead of chasing younger women.
Fat doesnt make them more attractive, it makes them less attractive to other women therefore it put at ease their wifes.

“This change in body composition not only causes men to shop for more comfortable trousers but also facilitates increased survivorship and, hypothetically, a hormonal milieu that would more effectively promote and support paternal investment.”

Promote and support paternal investment...beta bucks.

The idea that the chubbier guys are healthier and live longer is what I find interesting. Is that true? Seems counterintuitive. But I have seen a lot of slim guys die young or have cancer or diabetes.

I believe the article is promoting men not being healthy and less desireable to other women.
