I'm not a guy, this thread just reminded me a colleague of mine.
He was, well let's put it this way, not the dream of many women.
But he was intelligent and a great conversationalist, he knew what to say to women.
He always had model-looking girlfriends because as he said, he knew exactly that most guys would not even try to talk to talk to very attractive women and they wouldn't realise how these women were actually starved for a REAL connection=not guys who are only interested in their looks!!
Everybody liked him as he made them feel special.
Although I have to add this was about 18-20 years ago, things changed but I don't think the principle did.
When I was in high school, I would have cheerleaders chat me up on a regular basis, as well. Many of those women were actually nice, and pleasant to talk to. I guess they liked me for the same reason they liked your colleague.
