Did they present valid, objective reasons for not liking her personality, or was it pure emotional do-not-like?

What's an objective reason for not like a personality? They were vague on the reasoning like it was a gut instinct.

Their gut instinct is correct: this hot woman will reduce their own ability to attract male attention at work.

Therefore, she must not get hired.

Therefore, her, uh, personality, yeah, is not a good match for the company.

Poor eye contact, flat or inappropriate affect, inappropriate behavior or words for the context, closed or ignoring body language, disregarding norms of boundaries, respect for supervisors, when/how long to speak for a few examples.

They were vague on the reasoning like it was a gut instinct.

So, pure emotional do-not-like.

Actually, I don't think that is the case, but I do think there is some kind of threat there.

Two of the three women are happily married. One has a long-time serious boyfriend. None of these women have even attempted to date at work. Even if they did, it is highly unlikely anyone would take them up on the offer because I doubt that any man at the office, save one, believes in dating coworkers.

The one exception was a manager who started dating a woman who later left the company for another job. They kept it quite while she was working with us, but they are still dating now. In general, most sensible men don't risk dating coworkers. It's never worth the risk. You career is far more valuable than any potential mate.

So anyway, I'm sure that none of these women were threaten by diminishing dating prospects at work, but maybe it's just instinctual to oppose any woman who is a threat to one's own sexual power or relative standing.

They weren't like "OMG, we hate her", but they were all negative on her and they usually don't all disprove of a candidate for any position. It's that universal agreement when the men did not have such objections that makes me wonder. Then again, maybe we men overlooked a flaw because she was so pretty? I thought I was being objective, but how do measure your own objectivity?

Normal women do not want to work with a ho. And women know a ho when they see one. It's instinct.
