He evaluates everyone, both men and women, by their physical characteristics, and where men are concerned he wants to surround himself with men who look strong, fit, and conventionally handsome because they reflect on him (or he thinks they do). So he will often introduce or discuss a man (maybe another politician, or a show business or sports personality) with respect to his looks rather than his qualifications. "Central casting" is really a thing for him.
