My comment has nothing to do with AA, since I do not attend, but more about what is he getting out of all this attention?

While he may not be dating or acting on any of it, it somehow is feeding a need for him, IMO. This sort of thing can happen in any situation in life, not only the rooms of AA. This does not mean he has bad intentions or even realizes it is feeding some need. But he may be responding simply to the feeling of others needing him, seeking his advice, etc... That is very flattering and rewarding, but maybe misguided.
