Yeah, I suppose. The thing is, I've met the love of my life already and lost her because of my incompetence. Nobody since has impacted me the same way. It's all just because I don't look like a great guy on the outside and I don't appear to be capable of intensely loving someone. But, I know how much I loved her, I know I'm capable. On the inside I can love someone very dearly, but it's only because I have faults on the outside that people disregard me.
I don't wish to make you panic, but I was the same as your son. If he is as you say, he is NOT going to get the girls, sadly. I really wish the same thing doesn't happen to your son one day that happened to me, it can literally kill a man inside. I so hope for his part that he can just meet that one girl with old-school values that truly values guys like him. They are scarce, but I still believe in my heart that such girls exist. The other girls, they all overlook good, honest guys. The only way to attract these young women today is to increase what is known as your "jerk quotient" and become "cocky-funny" and the "alpha-male". They go for the seductive, charismatic, cocky guys that treat them like crap, because that is seen as manly and strong. I lost the girl I love because she was inclined the same way. She was introverted and shy just like me, but because she was so desperate to fit in, she did anything to gain the attention of these popular guys in my class at college. She was so into them, that she didn't even notice that I liked her. I had to tell her a year later that I liked her all the time, but once you have to tell a girl that in plain english, it kills anything you might have had.
You're son sounds like such a great guy, without even meeting him. But, sadly, in my opinion, I think he is in for much heartache still into his future when it comes to girls. Let's just hope he gets saved in time by a great and lovely girl, he really deserves it. And, let's hope he doesn't lose her to some other guy who exhibits all the modern alpha-male player bad boy characteristics. They seem to be so desirable to women for some reason.
