Also, please...
And I mean this, honestly. Do you have any virtue-signal-proof evidence of that claim?

I am really not asking to be rude. This is my autism speaking... But, when I go to the Artist alley and look at 30 different artists selling their husbandos, I can still count the number of obese characters on a single hand. An overwhelming majority of them are shreaded. I am not making this particular belief out of thin air. I just cannot see how that preference could be real in the observable world.

@mushroom_soup
Hi again. Since, I still didn't get any response from you, I wanted to repeat the question just to make sure you understand that I am really ready to listen.

There is a huge problem in economics called revealed preferences, where people claim clearly, that they want one thing, but behavior clearly proves otherwise.

I mentioned, that I assume this is the case here, since literally all of thirst art women are buying from what I've observed was of guys in an insane shape.

So, is there anywhere observable behavior (not a response to a direct question), that would prove me wrong?

yes that's very common, i'd wager that most women like some fat on a man. i've heard it theorized that the 'dad bod with strong arms' build is indicative of a man who actually goes and and does things and lives life and his body is a natural result of that, whereas the big muscles cut look is indicative of someone who just spends their time at the gym

They didn't have gyms in 10,000 BC. Women are even more genetically based than men when it comes to their brains. If this is true that women like dad bods, the reason would be a dad bod proves that he eats well and thus can provide food not only for her, but her offspring.

as a guy with big biceps getting towards 40 who has put on a few pounds (not thor fat thankfully)...

lifting weights and staying in shape is about hating the man you see in the mirror, and wanting to be able to kill other men, not about anything women think

if anything, the thought that there are women thinking I look just fine not in peak shape makes me irrationally angry and makes me want to lift and diet harder out of spite - because it means my problems are on the inside where I can't hurt them
