Men what makes a gal attractive to you? And how to tell a friend that her energy might be why she never gets approached?

Sorry, long one title basically says it but details are in description.

So my bestie of 15 years now, we were talking about guys and getting approached. Her saying she's not beautiful and no guy has ever approached her except her shitty ex - started 6 years ago and lasted for 3. Like when she's out, online or the few times we've gone clubbing.

We talked about how guys have come up to me (which I've felt bad about before and even more so now), she was in serious disbelief when I called both her and I a 6, as I don't believe either of us has that inherent beauty. Plus I think attitude, outfit, hair and makeup is a lot of that initial beauty scale.

But I think a lot of this is because she's very closed off from males, I've heard her say she hates males and life would be easier if she were gay lol. There was this time we were at a Latino club, I wanted to have a dance with a guy, and spent maybe 5/10 mins with him and went back to join her at the bar. After the whole did you have fun, was: I'm glad he asked you to dance as I didn't want him to touch me.

Another time, actually one of my sweetest memories, we were at a Queen tribute live act and after it finished everyone was loitering around so the dj played a couple of rock ballards, this old guy maybe 60/70s asked me to dance and I was like sure why not, did the ballroom and as the song closed we hugged and he gave me a kiss on the cheek and said I remind him of his granddaughter. She said initially I wasn't sure if I needed to save you or not and she could never do that, when everyone was simply buzzing from the Queen music.

When out she doesn't look at guys, would never approach one and rarely talk to one. Whereas I'd do all those, along with smiles, looks and winks lol. I'm not that attractive so can't see it being that, but I do see myself as approachable and open and I do believe guys like that.

So what do you think? What makes you approach a gal? Does the demeanor of the gal affect things?

She is a lovely gal and it's not like she's doesn't go near men, as she works in a male dominated field. And we have talked about it before, she knows not all men are evil and being friends with myself probably helps as my dad sacrificed a good chunk of his life for me. But she's said before it stems from childhood as even as a baby she'd scream if any males tried to pick her up. I just feel bad as I've been approached several times and she hasn't.
