Looks matter in any client-facing role. Nobody wants to be sitting across the table from a fucking demon unless the check is phat.

Absolutely, there's a consistent physiognomy among those who are very successful in the business world. The typical euro-Caucasian phenotype is objectively the most attractive no matter where you are in the world -- because of their facial features overall they look more trustworthy, smart, confident, mature, high-class etc. That's probably the 'certain look' you're referring to.

As far as I'm concerned missing a half head of hair and facial wrinkles are far from attractive. It's funny though because you can watch TV Shows and Movies whether it's about Law, Finance, etc and the guys at the top of the corporate ladder always are represented by that certain look as opposed to the people under them. 

 

I know plenty of Bobby Hill looking fucks in PE. It’s more important that you are polished than a looker, imo
