Men wanna look good, but they wanna look good because they can lift heavy weights, they want their aesthetic to be functional. If you could make them choose between looking good and be weak (even if it's impossible) or looking good and be strong, they would all choose the second one.
Women (on the younger spectrum) probably associate strength with "too much muscle" or a physical ability that they aren't supposed to have or need, so they only care about having a flat stomach or "toned body" (big booty nowadays), regardless of performance in the gym.
