Humans don't realize 90% of the processes of the brain. Not everything comes to the logical brain (awareness). People like to think they understand themselves, but the reality is they don't. Especially when it comes to human interactions and relationships, the subconscious mind takes the lead. The intellectual mind then will try to justify, but it cannot objectively rationalize. Our animal's instincts are still the dominate in our lives, and when females are attracted to charismatic, funny and confident guys, they are just responding to their instincts for an alpha male.
