The way he hits on so many women all the time makes me believe it's more of an act than actually how he is, and that he's doing it to hide something.

And how is it out of character if that's how he's acted towards practically every girl except Yang and Ruby that he's met?

I meant that it doesn't seem to fit the rest of his "I'm an intellectual", dork-who's-afraid-of-water, seems to have a lot of insecurities that he's constantly trying to cover up by being the "cool" dude type of person. Mostly everything we've seen about him thus far ha shown that Neptune is a guy who cares a lot about appearances, and as a man-loving man myself, I know the type of pressure that can be put on someone who doesn't identify as straight to at least try to come off as straight, because I can see, in Neptune's eyes, thinking that being anything but straight isn't "cool", hence why he'll make a very big point to flirt with almost every girl he sees. He just doesn't hit on Ruby because she's too young, doesn't hit on Blake because Sun is interested in her, and doesn't hit on Yang because Yang intimidates him (as seen in Painting the Town).

That's my theory, anyway. I'm not saying it's canon, I'm just saying that the way he acts toward women seems to be very OOC to who he actually is, and it's just another facade that he's wearing to try to fit in better.
