100 percent cut why the fuck would you want to bulk??? You need to get down to 12 percent body fat atleast before wanting to bulk. Most people who bulk never stop cause bulking is easy compared to cutting which is way harder you have to be super disciplined with what you eat and how much you eat.

If you lift and diet right, you can do both. I cut out empty carbs and I've lost 70 pounds of fat and gained 15 pounds of muscle in 7 months

Cut until you don't feel like a fat ass. A good rule of thumb is when the phrase "muffin top" wants to come out of your mouth and you are not pointing and laughing you are too fat.

I've been lifting for a year. (...) I'm 5'11, 190lbs at 21% body fat

You sir, have being doing it terribly wrong. The good thing is, if you've been lifting for a year, proper nutrition should work wonders on you.
Now I'll be honest. I never met a guy above 18% seeking to work out. I'm not sure which strategy fits you better. You'll probably want to up cardio A LOT, but I'm not sure whether you should target high volume or high intensity on weight training. I'd say volume.

BE FUCKING SERIOUS about the diet. You should be AT TOPS 17% in a month. You should be able to kill at least 6% in two months with proper nutrition and gym. I'm not kidding, I did it from 18% to 12% in three, I'm far older, probably slower metabolism.

(The goal is to be the most attractive to the opposite sex)

Here's the bitter truth.
In your age guys two or three years older have a terrible advantage on looks, because hormones make lifting VERY efficient. It'll be hard as fuck to be opened based on looks. Maybe if you're very tall for your environment and have otherwise very good looks. Probably not though.
You might get girls opening you because you're cute, seem to be inexperienced, and a lot of other reasons. Whatever they are, waiting for being opened is a terrible BAD move.
GAME. Go take a look on GAME. Give yourself one month of theory at TOPS and then you start practice. Guys your age often have particularly week game (they weren't demanded on it) and girls are particularly receptive of it (they haven't figured some stuff out yet).
