Definitely many ways to have an impressive physique.
Guys aspiring to men's health/ bodybuilder physiques are getting it wrong if that's not going to come easy for them due to genetics. IMO the goal should be - look powerful, in whatever way suits your body best.
As OP say there are many ways to look powerful:
-ripped lightweight boxer
-tall broad rower
-tough heavy rugby prop
-springy long-jumper
Even heavily obsese guys can look powerful and will attract girls who like "cuddly" guys, if they're broad with good posture, pecs, thick forearms etc..
If a guy looks like he can generate force, speed, acceleration - or could take big hits and not budge, then IMO he looks "powerful" and thus will be attractive.
There are some red flags that signal a distinct lack of power:
-skinny forearms
-hunched computer posture
-pencil neck/no traps
-no ass
-stick-thin legs
-skinny fat- thin arms and a belly
-doughy, sagging skin
etc.
Ultimately I agree with others in this thread... physique isn't correlated to alpha-ness, that's much more a social quality. Physique can be a nice pillar in your attractiveness though.
