Why does image matter so much?

Image matters because people often make assumptions based on limited information and that when we observe a single physical characteristic or behavior in someone, we are likely to assume that that person has a number of other qualities as well.

For example:

Someone may be perceived as confident because they have a firm handshake
They may be seen as trustworthy because they make eye contact
They may be judged as capable, professional, successful - even wealthy or- because they are well dressed

But the reverse is also true.
