I have a "dad bod", will I embarass myself if I go to a pool party like EBC/WR/etc?

[PorkChopExpress]

haha thanks guys, looks like i'll be taking off my shirt after all lol

that or own up to my "dad bod". I thought that it was just a bunch of buff looking dudes and skiinny girls, so that's why i thought it would be kinda embarassing not having a t shirt there since i have a dad bod(i'm a bit on the puddy/husky side)

also, would you guys recommend going into the pool? i hear it gets digusting

Since the dad bod issue has been extensively commented on, I'll give you my 2 cents about going in the pool. I'm probably in the minority on this - but I wouldn't do it. The last time I got in the water at EBC, I immediately regretted it. (I'll spare you the gory details about what floated by me.) Also, I'm a swimmer and former lifeguard, so I understand the filtering properties of chlorine and how pools work. I still wouldn't touch the water.

Here's a fun test, as well as a way to warm up your social skills. Ask all the waitresses there if they would ever take a dip in the water. I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority wouldn't take the plunge.

When are you going to EBC?

Yeah dude, screw the dad bod and stop being self conscious. Everyone is super friendly and as long as your confident and super social, just take off that shirt. You'll feel more out of place if you wear a shirt. Nothing to be shamed about.

The pool water is gross for sure, just filled with piss. Keep your head above it and make sure to be drunk. It's Vegas and a Pool Party, so whatever. Just go back to your room after and shower. They have enough chlorine to kill what ever it is, plus it's been a week and I have no rashes. Just don't drink the water

I have my trip in 7 weeks but had a prelim this weekend at a boat party in Chicago. I am not ripped. Honestly u don't even think about it or realize your shirt is off. Its all about having some drinks, meeting people having fun.

Lol exactly this. Like I mentioned, it's not an either or. Just because you have a good body doesn't mean you are socially retarded. I prefer to have the best of both worlds!

Haha yea same. It's funny seeing some ppl would assume those who are fit = roid heads. Never taken roids once in my life and will never consider either. But being in shape is definitely a big plus when it comes to hitting up these day club. But again, you are as happy as you make it. So if being in shape gives you the confidence, then do it up. Having a "dad bod" and not caring, do it up, im sure you will have just as much fun as well.
