I didn't find him very good looking. He was overweight and noticeably balding. His hair in the first couple of seasons was terrible (though that mullet thing may have been the style back in the early 90s, idk). Is it really believable that he got all those beautiful women, including models? I don't think he ever dated someone who was actually in his league looks wise.
Maybe it was because he had money and fame? Or was he actually an attractive guy and I'm somehow the only one who doesn't see it?
I think Kelsey Grammer was very good looking as a very young man, but by the time he hit middle age, not so much. -

Well looks aren't everything. To be fair Frasier came across charming and sophisticated and was always very respectful towards the women he pursued.

I think he was attractive enough. I see a lot of (imo) homely looking men with beautiful women. Generally, I think women are attracted to other things besides looks (personality or money, generally). Frasier was selfish, but was highly educated, quite likeable, and put on airs.

Yes, all of that is somewhat true, but Frasier was not dating hat check girls, if you know what I mean. They were well to do in their own right.
IMO, he was not attractive.

"Frasier was not dating hat check girls"women do not like to date men who are less successful than they are. Remember how embarrassed Roz was when she went out with that garbage man? You could hardly see some billionaire heiress dating a janitor, could you? Face it, women are more attracted to men who are "ugly" and successful than handsome and poor.

Average joe guys being with beautiful out-of-their league women is a sitcom trope.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, The King of Queens, Seinfeld, 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter, According to Jim, Modern Family, and many more.
Come to think of it, "average" might be being too kind.

I don't think he was overweight, just a bit flabby but all that can be fixed with a training program to include weights.and stop eating all that crap from Europe plus North America, Central Americagive it a French name, he & Niles would devour raw eggs.
I don't think he was attractive or handsome or any of thathe did have charm and the voice of what we would think for Fabio. He was always pompous. Arrogant. Know it all. Imperious. Ostentatious. Pretentious. etc etc And he loved to talk about himself & Harvard.
What really turned me off for him is his begging for sex routine. Oh pleasegive me another chance. 'whimper' OH BOO HOO BOO HOO And when he started dating the famous & rich tall lawyer, he became a pussy.
He is the same kinda' guy as Alan Harper, only rich. -

Modern Family? I would say Phil's a good looking guy, and Claire's not out of his league at all. They're both about equal in terms of attractiveness. Unless you were talking about her father who married a woman half his agebut then he's not necessarily unattractive, just older.

Maya55555 - He didn't bag and shag all of them. He would make some lame excuse as to why they were not compatible. And then on his way.
Plus Frasier was a hypocrite. He always claimed he had sex with only those that had a future with him. We all know that's a lie.

Yeah, RaimeyD, that last one irritated me. It was obvious that the same writers did not write all the shows. The lack of continuity bugged me. Frasier would bang almost anything that moved. And then would get razzed by the others for being "celibate", and not being able to "get a date", WTF??

No, not believable.
There are some women (many?) who would go out with someone just because they are a "doctor".
But as you correctly pointed out, he was overweight, balding. Also, he worked on an AM radio station (hardly a high-prestige job).
