[Dixielandjazz] Sexy "babe" musicians

In the realm of pop music, haven't there been men who made it on looks?
Frankie Avalon and other early rock & rollers in the 50s come to mind, and
there's Englebert Humperdink and Bobby Goldsboro. It's been reported that
Eddie Fisher had problems with meter. These guys could carry a tune of
course but few would claim that they were star quality on musical grounds
alone. Some of the lesser crooners of the swing era also went farther than
their talents alone might have taken them. Men might not think they were
good looking but the women did, or thought that they had charisma, and that
carried them to places that many a larger talent didn't go.

In no way condoning sexism but...

I wonder if this is part of the problem? Experience of a "Babe" having
achieved something through looks rather than knowledge may make one
wary the next time round. Whereas I doubt many encounter men who
have achieved through looks.
