Male Beauty

The philosophy of male beauty:

Physical grandeur

To the Ancient Greeks, physical grandeur as the apex of male beauty. The best way to illustrate this is by studying Greek statues:

For men, to have a relatively low body fat percentage (note you can see the abdominal definition of these statues).

Even the ancient Egyptian statues — note the strong and muscular legs and chest.

Physical fitness towards what ends?

My theory:

Male beauty towards attracting women for sexual fitness means a man with the most testosterone, strength, and masculinity.

Thus when a man is physically grandeous, it is a manifestation of his physical prowess and fitness.

Furthermore, it seems male beauty and physicality is towards sexual fitness — fertility to produce strong offspring.

Next: the philosophy of having kids, and procreation.
