As a man who is somewhat ripped, you have some misunderstandings about fitness. 1) what women refer to as attractive dad bods, are actually still very fit people relative to the average American. The average “sexy” dad bod is still a guy who works out a lot. 2) Men who choose to be ripped don’t do it for you, the same way women don’t dress up for men. They do it to push their body to the limits, see how far they can take their physical strength while minimizing bf%, and achieve something great
And 3) while ripped men may not have the most attractive body types, studies show time and time again that both men and women with low bf% have the most conventionally attractive face cards. It’s likely that the guys you find hot walking down the street are “ripped” in this regard.
