If I had to wager a guess, it could signal that you have wealth, time, energy, apply effort into bettering yourself, and you care about things that do matter. Ugly people can reflect often that they aren't putting effort in their lives whether it comes to being fat. Genetic issues can signal basically, you have bad genes. If you see someone with down syndrome, your first instinct isn't "They are so attractive!" because it is an enormous detriment to your survival and future offspring.
It's all a show. But wisdom isn't what you know, it's knowing how to exploit what others don't to your benefit. It's not nefarious but part of the game.
Now this is clearly speculative and based off my own observations. It's significantly more nuanced than this and more than just one unconscious decision people make. It is however ingrained in us to know culturally what "success" looks like, and we meter others based on that.
