The sheer conventional-ness of that idea makes me doubt it (but I don’t know of any data one way or the other), but the article doesn’t strongly contradict or support the idea that women tend to be interested in “non-physical” attributes. There are visual signals of wealth/socio-economic status that you can send with a picture as well. All you need to posit is that there is some kind of attractiveness signaling you can do with a photo, and then the next step (not taken here) is to figure out what that is.
