Imagine if we could track the ideal male body type for each decade the last 100 years. If everyone knew men were expected to have "boxer body" in the 80's, a "meth chic" look in the 90's, a "hunky stud" body in the 2000's and now a "gymnast body". If women talked about men's "hip to shoulder ratio".
The "dad bod" fad was concurrent w the "curvy" fad for women. This time, women lied to themselves about men's preferences. Men took "curvy" physique to mean a body w some additional muscle & fat in places like hips, butt, thighs. But women interpreted "curvy" as "chubby"
Tldr - Women's actual preferences are far different than what they say they want. Focus on the gains, then you get the girls or the gun !fitness!incels

Your average gymcel in a bulking phase would be considered "dad bod." Obv an extreme example but some women thought an out-of-season Mr. Olympia had a "dad bod."
What kind of danger do you mean? I understand the overlap between incels and gym bros, but I don't see how gym bros would be threatening unless they took gear
The gymbro is narcissistically devoted to his own form. That focus on the self at the expense of others is the first step into the alt-right pipeline. These men gladly fight to take away our rights because they are lose the ability to feel empathy. From there, escalating into domestic violence is inevitable

How does dedication to fitness come at the expense of others? What makes achieving a certain fitness standard different than any other type of self-improvement?

I don't see how any of this is related. Extreme dedication to fitness leads someone to lose empathy? People can be goal-oriented and still feel for others. Also, I disagree that a loss of empathy means that someone wishes to inflict pain on others. More likely than not, it would lead someone to be apathetic about others, but that wouldn't lead to a desire to restrict rights or beat someone
The narcissism and lack of empathy make sense, but the end result you foresee seems very extreme. Then again, I'm not very intelligent and I'm also a gymcel so my assessment is biased

I can only speak for myself but working out hard 5-6 times a week absolutely kills the tiny amount of empathy I had.

I don't want to inflict pain but I do think bad things should happen to people who irritate me in the moment they irritate me. I don't have violent thoughts but I notice super distinct changes in what I think and how I react in the last couple months since getting serious about getting back in shape and starting to lift again

The link between the gym and the alt right has been clearly established. Maybe take the time to educate yourself instead of mainsplaining our lived experience to us.

That's bc in typical fashion, women were dishonest about what they really wanted. Women considered "dad bod" to be athletic but not shredded. Your average gymcel in a bulking phase would be considered "dad bod." Obv an extreme example but some women thought an out-of-season Mr. Olympia had a "dad bod."

Gym bros are incel adjacent. It's a major red flag, and I always recommend against putting yourself in danger by getting with these types.
