This has been going viral lately, and a lot of people have given their takes on it but no one has got it quite correct IMO.

All men in the comments agreed that the right pic looked better, but women kept saying left does, then someone posted the same guy at the same time (pic 2) and it was incredibly clear that he looks better in the after state than the before but women kept insisting that they preferred the before, and everyone is currently trying to explain why women are collectively lying about this.

What everyone is missing is this: Most women are fat. Their biggest fear is confronting this and actually having to lose the weight, so they do everything they can to convince themselves that 'fat is actually beautiful' and because of this they collectively always shame men who get in shape as being vain or gay or obsessed because if everyone agreed that people look better fit than fat then those same women would have to either accept that they're miserable because they're fat, or god forbid actually fucking lose the weight. So they would rather lie to your face and tell you they prefer a 'dadbod' because it lets them cope with the fact that they're fat and if no one else tries to look good either then everyone will be ugly together and they won't look so bad by comparison and face any pressure to look better.
