Well, the non-tautological aspect is that this goes far beyond the explicitly sexual contexts. Even if you are e.g. having a lecture on Bayes Theorem, your audience keeps evaluating your attractivity, and it reflects in how much attention they give you, etc.
(This is a specific application of the “halo effect”. The attractivity is perceived automatically all the time, so it strongly contributes to the “halo”.)
That’s a tautology
