I received a nice surprise in the Rebel Dad mailbag. A reader pointed out this bit from a New York magazine on sexy pulled-off-the-street New Yorkers. The linked part shows a nice musician pushing his little girl about town in a stroller.

The comments from the mag's experts: "Hello, Daddy! What is it about a yummy guy with a cute kid that gets our panties in a twist? He looks like he’d stay the whole night and make you breakfast in the morning." And "What woman wouldn’t want this guy? If he’s married, that only makes him hotter."

The reader comment: "So, should we be pleased that dads can be recognized as sexy, or insulted that the stereotype of an unaccompanied dad as a Lothario is being reinforced? A little of both, I suppose."

I must admit, I'm at a bit of a loss for what to make of this. My first impression is that anything that a) makes caregiving dads look normal and b) makes us look attractive can't be bad. Your thoughts?
