It's kind of a two in one because it makes you look better and increases your confidence. It's the major thing you can do to physically improve your SMV and really start looking attractive. But it's also just a natural stress reliever, and seeing yourself bulking up really helps your self confidence. So you look better to girls, and you're naturally more confident around them, which are kind of synergistic to each other.

Like anything it's not absolutely necessary, but it's so good for you in any way that it's stupid not to

There is a point where you hit diminishing returns. If your goal is to be attractive to the largest population of women, you want a muscular, athletic physique that looks toned. Look at this chart. The 10-12% body type is ideal to most women, although some prefer slightly less or slightly more. You want to have a good amount of bulk while maintaining that level of fat, dude in the photo could be bigger.

Lifting is incredibly important. Women are attracted to both size and strength. Bulk is important in the exact way that height is important, it's a biologically ingrained attraction criterion for women. Your testosterone goes way up when you lift, which gives you all the dominating masculine traits that women find attractive. Men defer to you when you're naturally bigger. You're healthier and feel much more alive. The list continues.

Very few men are at the point where they're lifting "too much".

Releases chemicals in your brain. These chemicals make you feel like a boss. Feeling like a boss makes it more likely that you're going to go talk to that beautiful baby that you want to get digits(and more) from.

Being lean and muscular is physically appealing.

Being built helps override women's natural preferences relating to height.

Is more muscle directly proportional to increased female interest?

Depends on the woman and where the cutoff is from being perceived as sexy to being seen as scary.
