Hold on, you say that it's a clear fallacy that your attractiveness does not influence your output, and then you directly claim afterward that your attractiveness may not influence the work you do? That was my original point, so it seems much like you're saying I'm wrong and then restating my original point. The problem I have with regards to your secondary argument, that attractiveness contributes to self esteem and is thus important and relevant to the workplace as a contributing factor towards building soft skills is that it equally promotes simple narcissism. Full disclosure; I think that we may just be getting over a long standing hangover where "touchy feely" attributes of a person were valued over their actual aptitude and intellect and I'm quite happy not to see us sliding back into that particular arena and being surrounded by pleasant but incompetent people
