Being young and slender confers social status to men, they just don't like to admit it. Look at how much money and effort wealthy men put into keeping up appearances (plastic surgery, hair transplants, exercise regimens, etc). Women face a lot more pressure, and the standards are far more absurd, but please look at a current picture of Elon Musk and tell me he isn't just as preening as some boogeywoman you could come up with. If wealth was enough he of all people wouldn't bother. But it isn't. It's just another trait men project onto women while denying when they have it themselves: vanity.
Oh for sure. But I wanted to challenge your binary analogy that Wealth is to Men as Physical Beauty is to Women. We live in an across the board vain society, and women bear the brunt of that, but not all of it.
