Unfortunately, I think this is kinda predictable. You can’t control your genetics, but I think that’s the point of these judgements. I don’t like it or agree with it, but people are almost always judging people based on sexual selection criteria. There isn’t a rational mechanistic logic there. It’s just being attractive vaguely correlates with other positive traits (implied genes). Maybe you’re attractive because you just don’t get fat, those are good genes. Maybe you’re attractive because you have great self control, those are good genes* (that’s questionable, but that’s the “logic”). People aren’t judging you based on what you did with the hand you were dealt they’re judging you based on the hand you were dealt. It’s like when guys dislike knowing girls wear make-up, despite being attracted almost exclusively to make-up wearing girls. Make-up is “cheating” their evolutionary intuition, so they dislike it. GLP-1 drugs similarly cheat people’s evolutionary intuition. It’s shallow and stupid, but I think that’s the ultimate basis of the judgement.
