Do men like big butts
Here’s why gym bros want big butts now — for themselves
Men appreciate big butts and they cannot lie.
For decades, linear men often ignored their glutes in the gym, not wanting to tug attention to their butts and focusing rather on their abs or biceps.
Now, the derriere is having its day.
Many fitness influencers are now tailoring their content to show men their go-to exercises for a “shelf-like butt,” and more and more men are showing up to Pilates and other classes that focus on the glutes.
“It is trending more the last few years than the last limited decades in my career,” John Rusin, a physical therapist and personal trainer with Pain-Free Performance, told GQ.

Other than the “dad bod,” the societal standard for male body seems to include remained the same: broad shoulders, big arms, sturdy chest, mostly ignoring the lower body altogether.
“The ability to have a bigger, broader shoulder, a V taper-styl
Science Has Finally Figured Out Why Men Like Giant Butts
Butts are definitely having a moment, and now science might actually hold an answer to why we're all about that bass.
Researchers at Bilkent University in Turkey showed 300 men silhouettes of women's bodies and asked to rank them in instruct of preference. They initiate that the men were most attracted to women whose spines curved exactly 45 degrees above the top of their butts, but that the men were actually more attracted to the spinal curve — known as vertebral wedging — than the butts themselves. Why? The researchers say that having "extra mass around the buttocks" enhanced the appearance of the curvature.
Dr. David Lewis, one of the researchers on the explore, told Daily Mail that vertebral wedging developed out of necessity. "[It] would have enabled ancestral women to shift their center of mass back over their hips during pregnancy, a time during which there is a dramatic forward shift of their center of mass," he said. "This benefit is critical: Without being qualified to do this, women would experience a dramatic increase in hip torque, subjecting them to chance of muscular fatigue and injury.&

According to a study highlighted in Medical Daily, a team of researchers at Turkey's Bilkent University found further evidence supporting an evolutionary explanation for why men are attracted to women with curvy derrieres.
The examination determined that the ancestral advantage for women with a 45 degree spine curvature, which enables mobility through pregnancy, has remained a preferred feature of modern man. In evolutionary terms, our forebears are thought to have developed a sexual attraction to women with greater curvature because they possessed the highest likelihood of bearing children who would reside to further pass on DNA.
To test the theory in the present, researchers had 300 men see at silhouettes of women with varying degrees of spine curvature. They create that the majority of men expressed a favor for silhouettes with spine curvature of 45.5 degrees, bolstering the notion that the attraction to huge butts could reflect an instinct for genetic survival.
While not the simplest way to explain it

In the analyze, approximately 100 men, between the ages of 17 to 34, were asked to rate the attractiveness of images of a woman’s silhouette as she stood sideways. Each image had been altered so the lower spine curved out at different angles—causing the woman’s butt to protrude in varying extremes. What researchers found: Overwhelmingly, men preferred the uber-bendy images that showed the lower spine curved at a 45-degree angle, from back to buttocks
