Even if personality mattered that much (it doesn't, but let's pretend we live in a world where it does, for the sake of the argument), personality doesn't exist in a vacuum, it's not something tangible and unalduterated you can access to without the filter of looks. People forget that we live in a world of invisible humans, everyone is invisible to us in the sense that we don't and can't have access to your inner beings, or subjective feelings, the internal screen that reflect the world to them and by which they perceive and feel the world. If you feel inner, total peace and calm inside, but you are trembling in front of a police officer (let's say because you are sick), he will suspect you and interrogate you, no matter how calm and pure you are inside, he only has access to the trembling. If you say "i'll be back" in an effeminate, soy voice, you'll never exude the confidence, the smugness of the terminator, no matter how capable of defeating an horde of enemy you are (if people don't know it), no matter how confident and powerful you feel inside.
People can't perceive your personality, they can't perceive confidence, they perceive just your stare, the way your eyes moves with your brows, your facial expressions and how it connects to your voice to exude confidence or lack thereof, people don't have access to your unalduterated sense of humor, everyone have heard two people telling the same jokes, but because of how they deliver it, how people are suggestive or confrontational in front of them, it leads to either a burst of laugh or a disinterested stare at the end. If you want to judge the real merit, intellect and arguments of a speaker, it's better to read his texts, for any charlatan with some knowledge, charisma and eloquence can trick people into thinking he won the debate in front of a television set ... while the text format would've shown the clear superiority of his stuttering, shy rival. In every aspect of personality, the same conclusion apply : we only have access to it through the prism of facial expressions, mannerism, voice, so looks and voice !
