That's a rather inconsiderate view. It's quite possible for a "grown man" to have sciatica (trapped nerve) for a few months or years, amongst other reasons, and be under doctor's orders not to lift anything at all, but this condition would be invisible to you. You should do better to lift bags based on whether the person asks you nicely, whoever they are, or not lift bags at all for anyone, than to make assumptions based on their appearance.
