- You, after reading this post.
The importance of physicality is often spoke of on this forum, as well as discussion often about which muscle groups, specifically, are important for visual aesthetics. The tier list usually includes shoulders, upper back, neck, and chest all somewhere up at the top - specifically when considering clothed aesthetics.
However, a startling new pill HAS TO BE SWALLOWED: THE GLUTEPILL.
Glutes are INSANELY important for your overall aesthetics. Your glutes are the driving force of power for your hips. It is a signifier of FERTILITY and STRENGTH to have well developed glutes with no postural issues (looking at you, anterior pelvic tilt).
Women ultimately see strong, powerful glutes as your DRIVING POWER to go BALLS DEEP while you're fucking the shit outta them.
Compare:
Versus an aesthetic gluteal area:
But don't take my word for it, let's look at the facts:

This study found that GLUTES WERE THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE FOR LARGER SIZE PREFERENCE:
"Women reported preferring larger obliques, followed by glutes, abdominals, biceps, shoulders, triceps, calves, deltoids, quadriceps, pectoralis, latissimus dorsi, forearms, tibialis anterior, and trapezius."
Over 50% of women deemed glutes as important for determining a man's physical attractiveness:
"Participants’ also answered an additional “yes/no” question for each muscle: “Does this muscle affect men’s attractiveness?” Figure 5 shows the percentage of yes responses for each muscle, revealing eight muscles over the 50% of yes for both sexes (obliques, abdominals, glutes, deltoids, shoulders, triceps, pectoralis, and biceps) and one also for male participants (latissimus dorsi)."
In fact, it's ACTUALLY THE ONLY GENUINELY IMPORTANT LOWER BODY MUSCLE:
"With the exception of the glutes, all the muscles that were deemed to be important for men’s attractiveness were in the upper body."
OK, so that's aesthetics. But did you know that glutes are also INSANELY IMPORTANT for functional/fighting strength? READ ON:

Why Glutes Matter in BJJ and How to Get Them - Breaking Muscle
Your glutes are not as strong as you think they are. Most athletes think they have strong glutes, backing it up by saying, “I can squat [X] amount of weight.” The truth is you may be able to squat a house, but that does not mean your glutes are strong or even contracting optimally. Your glutes...

So, there you have it. Functional and aesthetic reasons to be training this INSANELY IMPORTANT MUSCLE.
So how to do it?
Barbell hip thrusts are the number one movement you'll be doing for gluteal development.
ExRx.net : Barbell Hip Thrust

As you can see by this chart, this movement gets insane activation out of your glutes. Doing squats for glutes is cope. Over 2x or more activation!
SQUATS should not be your movement for developing glutes. Many individuals can squat insane amounts but experience terrible gluteal development because of their own physical anatomy. YOU MUST TARGET IT DIRECTLY unless you already know you have great glutes.
Doing reverse pyramid with barbell hip thrusts should be enough to build some mass, as this is a muscle group that is meant to be large in humans (should be the largest on your body). Additional accessory work on it is optional.
Male glutes are almost as fetishized as female glutes by women. There's even a subreddit dedicated to baseball pants on men.
Inb4 "muh muhhmuhhh gay man ass!" STFU WHILE I GO GIGA-BALLS DEEP IN YOUR MOM WITH MY SUPERIOR GLUTEAL DEVELOPMENT YOU PROJECTING FAGGOT!
