Have you ever seen a man jogging with his baby in a stroller? Would you laugh?
TrueStory asked:
Would you laugh if you saw a man jogging with his baby in a stroller? I can’t recall ever seeing a man doing this, only women. Why?

Would you laugh if you saw a man jogging with his baby in a stroller? I can’t recall ever seeing a man doing this, only women. Why?

Yes, and no I would not laugh. In nyc people do it all the time. Good for exercise, and mother can get some rest.

Wouldn’t bother me at all.
It’s nothing out of the ordinary
Three wheeler strollers are the best to jog with however.

Yes I have actually! Mostly on weekends but I have seen them around a couple of the lakes in our area during the week in the late afternoon.

I see it all the time. I don’t laugh but I do think to myself that that guy must be a keeper. Not all dads will take the baby jogging to give the mom a break. Thank God my guy is one of them!

What kind of idiot would laugh? Of course I wouldn’t laugh. Whenever I see it I secretly crush on the dad.

I doubt I would laugh.
A man with a baby says a lot about the man. It would be a huge appeal to most women. It shows responsibility, love, focus, care and sensitivity not only for the baby but for the babys mother whether it’s his sister, mom, wife, g/f…whatever.
My hubby and I have 8 weeks to go before our baby arrives and he wants his own baby gear that isn’t pink He’s all for taking our baby out on jogs in his jeep stroller rather then her girlie cherry blossom one.

Nah, I think most women would think it is sweet of a man to take his child along for a jog.
I don’t know about men. It doesn’t really matter what others would think, right?
But, I guess that’s why it may be so rare to see a man rolling a stroller…maybe men think it takes away from their masculinity.

I can’t say I have ever seen a man jogging with a baby either. But I wouldn’t laugh if I did see one. Actually I would think it was a great idea. I’m not sure why we dont see more men jogging or taking there children out period. For instance I went to buy a baby carrier that supports the baby in the front of you for my 3 month old son and my husband thought it was a great idea, yet he said he will only wear it around the house and not out in public.
But I think that seeing men out with their baby is great, and you are thinking of jogging with your baby I say GO FOR IT!! I’m sure noone would laugh at you. You’ll probley even get some smiles along the way!

My hubby is the “manly-est” man I know. He doesn’t jog, but if he did, he would take our son! He HAS worn the baby carrier in public (and looked damn good doing it!) I really think he is sexiest when he is doing something with our baby. Of course, then again, he thinks I am sexiest when I am pregnant!

I see men jogging with their babies all the time…
Of course i wouldn’t laugh….Whats there to laugh about??
Its good that Dads are involving their kids in what they do and sding time with them….
Pushing a pram isnt only for Mummies, matter of fact 99% of the time when we go out my Hubby is the one that pushes the pram..

I wouldnt laugh, I’d think it’s sweet.

My husband does that. I like it.

I haven’t seen a man doing it, but I certainly wouldn’t laugh. Men ride bikes with babies, so it is just like that.

My husband has done this. When we go jogging in the park with our son, he has been the one to push the stroller. I think it makes him look strong and pretty much like a regular dad who likes to exercise.
