In a new poll, more than one in three people said a simple “thumbs up” from their dad was a “sign of both love and support.”

49% said their dad would describe himself as “not good at emotional stuff,” and women were more likely to receive an “I love you” from Dad than men.

But many dads just have their own subtle, heartfelt ways of expressing their feelings . . . and it’s being called, “Dad Speak.”

To demonstrate “Dad Speak,” there’s a list of the “Top Ways Dads Show Affection.”  Here’s the Top 10:

1.  Being there when you need him, even without saying much.

2.  Paying for a meal.

3.  Teaching you how to do something practical.

4.  Fixing things around the house.

5.  Driving you places.

6.  Offering to lend you tools or equipment.

7.  Helping with your kids or pets.

8.  Helping you move.

9.  Making you a drink

10.  Forwarding you useful links or news.
