I've heard pretty much all of the positive advantages that squatting brings (release of test/GH, king of hypertrophy exercises, etc) , but, because I'm much more concerned about being aesthetically proportional, I'm tempted to give up squats and maybe even deadlifts.
The reason being is I have a pear fat distribution (most of my fat goes to my thighs and butt area), and the last month and a half i've been bulking. My legs have EXPLODED while my upper body is lagging behind. Same thing goes with my butt - I don't want it to be massive just for the sake of being able to say I squat heavy weight.
What should I do?
For reference,
I currently can squat a max of maybe ~280-285.

girls like a nice ass on guys srs. make sure to put as much mental focus on upprbody lifts as much as squats and lower body lifts. do that and you should have a nice, proportionate body. women will laugh at you when your shirt is off and you take off your pants for smex, and have tiny chicken legs.
squat for powerful alpha legs
deadlift for barnyard back
