What's the big deal about muscles?

For real, what's the big deal?Porn and TV have given us so much muscle, yet IRL very few people actually look like that. Out of the hundreds (maybe thousands) of men I've met in all my years, maybe 5-10 looked anything like that. Most people in general work out casually or not much, they are what shallow people condescendingly call "average."And yet, it's always the "above average" ones so many folks chase, instead of the much larger pool of perfectly sweet, brilliant, sexy guys out there. Seriously, if that's you, then what the fuck is wrong with you? What's so special about muscles? What do they offer that you can't get elsewhere? What gives?
