Given the harsh conditions, especially for working stiffs like the members of Jesus' family, combined with Jesus' ascetic lifestyle, which included walking everywhere, scholars agree that he was most likely a rather sinewy peasant, as tough as a root and about as appealing.

Short, portly, bald men cannot be 'a working stiff' who lives in 'harsh conditions' or live an ascetic lifestyle which includes a lot of walking?

I would bet that there were a lot of short, portly, bald working stiffs in that day.

Whether Jesus was one, or not, will be a secret until eternity.
