I think these are all valid points.

For me personally, looks matter. I don't need a model per se, but I don't want a slob either. I want someone who tries to stay active and actually makes sure they look presentable before they go out the door in the morning. Someone who attends to their looks is someone who cares about themselves. If you can care for yourself, you can care for others. In other words, they care about staying healthy and how they represent themselves in front of others. I wouldn't want a slob, because that's disrespectful to the outside world, it shows you don't care enough to even try.

Of course, one can overdo it, which is being a narcissist. It also depends on the society you live in.
