Short term: better to be lean but a bit undersized or better to be big but a bit chunky?

Basically title. From the perspective of getting chicks. In the short term is it better to be lean 10-12% body fat with a but of muscle but not enough to be considered shredded or better to be 18-22% but be bigger with more muscle?

Long term I have goals of getting to a lean but also big physique but in the short term (5 months) I plan on cutting from 18% to 10%.
