It depends on what one quantifies as being shredded, but generally speaking young guys like being lean because women prefer the lean look as opposed to the bearmode look. Facial aesthetics/jawline become more apparent when one is lean.
Tons of guys start lifting during the puberty driven pursuit of getting laid. What many fail to realise is that you have to be able to actually talk to girls in order to get some action.

I definitely think these things play a very large part. Sexual market value drives a lot of the thinking and actions.

There’s an interesting paradox in this looksmaxxing generation I recently discussed with friends last week. Over a hundred years ago men weren’t shaving their bodies, with some being very hairy, as am I, had poorer hygiene, poorer dental care, had plain clothing, didn’t go to gyms, weren’t tweezing their eyebrows, and weren’t adorning their bodies with tattoos, jewelry, and piercings. Yet far more of them had women and had plenty more sex considering they had up to seven kids.

Is true but also:
I also think that:
Is a bit of a fallacy, given that contraception was essentially not a thing.
Having said that, I do agree with what i believe to be your point that many young men and women of today would find themselves in a much happier place if they’d pay less attention to the superficial details of looking a certain way and more on being a certain way.

Oh i get what your saying… I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around the notion. More specifically when a average height male talks about wanting single digit bf at 130 to 150lbs.
It’s like big tits and ass on a fat chick. Hardly anyone cares.

Thats what im talking about. Some guys confuse being lean as being jacked. Which is true at a certain bodyweight in my opinion.

I’m checking in twice, this time with a moderately heavy 405 single. This should be around 90% when I’m not super fatigued (I trained every day this week). I’m happy with how this moved, I could have doubled it but didn’t want to trash my recovery or something.

True, but actual surveys show less men have women and young people are having less sex. Another paradox of a hypersexualized scene.

Kids are programmed to abandon what their their parents found cool.
Now the kids of the self destructive, sex obsessed, drug fuelled MTV generation are a bunch of tea total gym freaks that want to live for ever telling the same story about that one time they drank 5 WHOLE pints of craft beer at a festival and tripped over a tent peg.
Its nature but its shit.
