Single dads are quite the commodity these days. 'Hot Dad Summer' is trending on social media.  Single women are actually seeking out single dads as part of the 'Hot Dad Summer' trend on TikTok. The women are calling themselves...wait for it...Dadvocates. They also refer to single dads as "stroller candy".

One single lady named Lauren says "Dads are so attractive to young, single women because, at the end of the day most women want a man who holds all of the characteristics of a good father anyway".  She goes on to say "getting to see him in action is like having a cheat sheet into that side of him".  It is a great time to be a single dad if you are looking for love!

Some girls say these guys "tend to be kinder" and "more disciplined" according to the New York Post.  To learn more about why 'Hot Dad Summer' is trending get details right here .

Finally the list you’ve all been waiting for: Where does North Carolina rank among the “Daddest” dad states in the country? Well lucky for you, we found it.

Our friends over at Zippia.com put some good thought into figuring out what makes a state the most Dad. They put together an actually quite impressive list based on the following Dad factors:

“There are a lot of things that make dads, well, dads. It’s not only fathering a child, but it’s parenting a child- and the weird set of daddisms that seems to go with it.”

So, if you’re wondering, Iowa is at the top of the list for most “Dad” state in the country. And in last place is Florida, sorry Sunshine state, your just not the "daddest" of them all.

North Carolina comes in at a comfortable 6 on the list, getting a big boost as the top state in the country for the amount of money spent on kids, at $17,666 per year. So hats off to all the hard-working North Carolina dad's out there! We love you!
