I think it depends on the person. If everything you do is for the sole purpose of getting poon, that simply means your not getting any, lack a real career or haven't grown up. Sure chicks are fun, but so's blow. Being fat is never an option. If a regular person can say your fat and you work out shoot yourself. Looking like a strong fat guy is a waste of effort. Now if you wanna be big, like 40 pounds over abs, that not bad.
But it depends on a lot of things. If your short the bulky look just makes you look shorter atleast to anyone that ain't a midget. At the same time some people look better with a bit of weight, as long as they don't have a gut. I'm at 220(6'3") right now and look like shit not in the body but the face. A few pounds make my face chubby and look alot of older than i should.
