It starts with objectively good advice like "work out and go to the gym to get a good body". Which is surprisingly on the downside in K-12 education. Then it drips in the narrative: "revenge training" to get fit not for your self-esteem but to make a bad breakup regret it, then into the "sigma male grindset", then if you do all this and you still aren't appealing it must be because of women. You worked hard, they don't get it or are too picky, or are looking for some famed gigachad with 8 packs and making 200k a year.
It's a slow drip into the pipeline.

tangent: but in media male sexuality is much more suppressed too. You can show quite a bit of nudity in R rated films, but absolutely not a boner in any way 99% of the time. I don't think that changes much in society, food for thought.
This advice is given almost exclusively by men to other men. Similar to how women enforce toxic beauty standards on other women
And I mean, just because you don't see boners in films doesn't mean that society thinks that boners are bad. That's like saying that not seeing vaginas in films means society thinks vaginas are bad
And yeah, it's given because it appeals to men. A chance to move about, physically push themselves, perform specific tasks for a specific amount of time, etc. Men and women are drawn to different things (for a variety of reasons), so men just resonate more with that than women.

In a vacuum yes. In the history of the MPAA, the reasons and reactions make you wonder...
But it's ultimately a non-sequitir. Its just some tangential food for thought.
That sheer gap may make some work harder. It will likely discourage many who will then look for quick solutions, and that's where the next steps set in. Where they either sell you their fitness products or their pyramid scheme.
That is just as sexist of them, they don't own male sexuality if he doesn't get it up for you then you should do better. That is what women say to men at least, do better don't blame the other sex.
