I think I understand where you're coming from. I think there are a few answers.
One is, that it's about vanity. If you work out, you end up looking more muscular and fitting some set of 'idealised' images of what it means to be a man. Is this image a true or honest reflection of masculinity? Of course not. Is vanity a worthy thing to obsess over? No.
So why bother?
I don't take it very seriously - I don't want to look like the guys in the photos.
If anything I want to be toned, healthy, fit. I run regularly and more than ever I've realised that as I get older, my body is changing - and what I do to myself has more of a lasting effect on me than it used to.
It feels like I now need to start paying more attention - and have to put some kind of effort in place to ensure that I don't go to shit. Strength training is part of that. Being stronger and fitter will hopefully allow me to do more, and I won't complain If I end up looking better as a result.
