Meaning
This comes off as self-deprecating humor, with the speaker accepting that charm can beat swagger. It can be taken to mean that image is not always under our control, and that sometimes the audience will side with the more lovable figure. It lands in a playful comparison, especially when someone is trying to argue they are the better-looking one.
