Cylinder_Unharmed on Ancient Problemz

Which picture is more attractive? The one that signals higher social status. Beyond that, the body isn't terribly relevant as long as it's relatively fit. Shredded underwear pic in oddly lit locker room = trying too hard, not masculine, socially 'weird', "he probably can't even eat pizza with me". Husky gym pic = fit, confident, sporty. Now imagine if he was as ripped as in the pic on the right, but he just ripped his shirt off rockstar style on stage during his world tour. Suddenly it's cool and hot again. It's all about context. Or, maybe women are just lying. Social desirability bias is real.
