When Frank went shopping with a diaper bag and baby carrier, he noticed it already. And me too for that matter! Not only our little man in the pram but also he himself got a lot of attention with his fatherhood. Yes, even while I was there! What is it with men and babies? I don't know about you, but when I see a big strong man with such a small bumblebee, I also get a little week inside myself.
The same goes for males with puppies, by the way; irresistible. He must be in the contrast between super cool and super cute. I can understand that men have more sjans from other women just after they become a father, can you? However, research has now shown that not only the cashier and the neighbor, but also women themselves, after having a baby, are extra fond of their husband! So Mother Nature is kind to our guys once again. Provided they have experienced fatherhood.
We knew that you fell in love immediately after the birth of your baby – only we thought it was mainly a crush went on your baby. But fatherhood also makes men more attractive, especially to their own wives. No fewer than 60% of the women in the survey indicate that they find their husbands much more attractive since becoming a mother.
Especially seeing how your husband treats your child and how caring he can be, makes us women soft inside. Recognizable? That chance is greatest if you live in Flevoland, because there 1 in 3 men indicate that they take care of more than 60% of the children (or they are just good at exaggerating, they are still men 😉 .) It is clear that the more men are involved with the children, the more we love them. But you may have already thought of that yourself.
You also get other fun facts from the results of this funny research. In Zeeland, for example, 70% of the men vacuum. But they also go out least often in this province when the little one wakes up at night – and this is where the most women live who don't find their husbands more attractive after having a baby (17%).
So just being a father and vacuuming once is not enough. The young dads really have to do something for it. Above all, they have to show their soft side if they want to wake up our fallen butterflies again. But of course they also get a lot of love in return.
What else fatherhood does to men, this research doesn't really talk about. This study was specifically about the effect of fatherhood on women. However, that being a father also leaves a considerable impression on men, Brian Gordon proves that with his fantastic hilarious cartoons about fatherhood.
The cartoons below also apply to the moms, I think. In any case, as far as I'm concerned. And you? Do you recognize it too?
