> They get fat, or pot-bellies at least, their hair falls out (probably just genetic but still)

What "but still"? What is it about that that still supports your point, even if it is entirely out of ones hands if your hair falls out? If it is indeed mostly/totally genetic, why continue to look at it as a symptom of "letting oneself go"? That's just a stigmatizing attitude to hold on too (if it is indeed mostly genetical).

Getting fat is also stigmatized. Sigh. I know.

Bald men and short men have hurdles, too.

You still haven't answered my question.

Getting fat is for many a lifestyle issue (a bad lifestyle is what you alluded to in the first place). It may be partly genetic in that some people only have to start worrying about their waistline in their thirties while some have to do so in their teens. It is not clear at all that baldness is a lifestyle issue.

Noone mentioned short men.
