Not sure how many women you've heard speak in your life, but plenty of them have expressed their enjoyment of men's ripped physiques. Heck, just take a trip to YouTube right now and watch them react to the very scenes you're talking about in this movie for some real-life examples.
You seem to be under the impression (or wishful thinking?) that visual appearance is completely irrelevant to females. If that were the case, they wouldn't have been salivating over the likes of Brad Pitt for over 30 years and short guys wouldn't keep getting discriminated against on dating apps. A girl may not typically take an instant dive into bed with a guy or hop into a relationship with him based on looks alone (as many men would do for women), as a greater emphasis on attraction is often based on things like status for them, but looks are hardly irrelevant. And, unlike how guys usually are with girls, many females actually even prefer older men (men didn't evolve to typically be attracted to older women because they're less fertile, so things such as more hardened, masculine faces signal the opposite of what they're biologically designed to look for to keep their genes spreading... something that isn't true for females).
That all being said, it's a comedy and there was a running joke about him taking his shirt off and having let himself go (along with some known audience expectations of this). The punchline was that his shirt finally exploded off in the climax and it turns out that he's actually as ripped as ever.
