Most of the guys I know work very hard to put on lean mass without getting bellies. When was the last time you hooked up with a guy with a flat chest? Probably never. When was the last time you hooked up with a guy who was fat? Probably never.

Very very true, and I think a point that a lot of people miss.
It's tough to draw the line between gaining quality mass and gaining too much mass. That's the point I'm at now - I'm at my ideal weight, but would like to get stronger, so it's tough to figure out what to eat or take to help make that difference.
You just always try to avoid what I call "fat belly-skinny arm" syndrome.
I'm lucky in that I have a girlfriend who honestly still would be with me if I was too heavy - but the truth is that if you are carrying too much, girls won't even look at you. When I was even a little chubby (as I said before, about 40 pounds more than I am now), it was tough to get girls to take a second look. Since I've been in shape, that has not been the case.
