Lifting or boxing?

If I only have time for one, which should I go with? Never done any martial arts before.
I don't plan on getting into any fights or anything, but knowing how to fight just in case seems like a good idea. On the other hand, I also want nicer aesthetics, and most boxers look pretty DYEL.

Boxing is not useful for street fights, martial arts in general are not gonna help you if you get stabbed by broken bottle or shot if you happen to be in USA.

Muay Thai is one that is best for fighting on the streets. Martial arts will not give you nice aesthethics, they will teach you how to fight, fighting is mostly about speed less about muscle/strength. Though for me always being athlete>static picking up of iron plates

That said, you wont find any serious boxer that doesnt also go to gym. Be prepared for hours of cardio as well, Boxing is incredibly taxing, you gonna be gassed in 30 seconds

Boxing. You'll see less volume, but it's the most fun way to get both your cardio and a heavy muscle workout at the same time. If you like to spend your time efficiently and actually learn a valuable skill, then go for boxing.

One will allow you to kick peoples asses, the other will get you looking nice and aesthetic. Which do you value more? Unless you’re a retard I’d wager you’re not going to go around getting into street fights, however if some shithead comes up to you and your girl one day what are you going to do? Boxing makes you warrior, lifting satisfies the more vain part of you and gets you equally vain chicks (but at least you’re getting pussy). The gym guys will get more girls than you because girls aren’t going around asking who’s the toughest guy in the room, they’re looking for the hottest. But, you can take solace in the fact that you can beat their fucking ass. On the flip side of that however, that’s all you’ll get. A silent pride that you can beat them up, because starting actual fights will get you shot, stabbed, arrested, or sued real quick.

Of course it is, it just isn't useful in every single situation, like being taken to ground for example.

All boxers lift but not all lifters box.

If you spend a couple years bulking and lifting, you'll be able to beat up most people you run into and defend yourself, and you'll be huge and strong. If you spend a couple years boxing, you'll be able to beat up most people you run into and defend yourself, but you'll be small and weak. Lifting, no brainer. Real fights dont last 10 rounds, or even 1, anyway. Throw in cardio and hit the bag a few times with your lifting and you'll be able to whoop even more ass. Should you to take up boxing later, you'll already be able to hit hard.
