Congratulations on becoming a Babe Magnet! 
Really, it appears as if, like a lot of people, you came into your own when you got out of High School and escaped the Conformity Police that ridicule anyone who doesn't 'look right' or in any way deviates from some inane but generally approved style of action or dress or association.
Attending college can be a catharsis for many people; where they 'blossom' and find out who they really are without the weight of High School Conformity bearing down on them all the time.
Your varied interests and current success, along with your newfound sense of humor and ability to be 'who you are' without pretense (or just being an insensitive, self-centered jerk, which isn't the same thing) all combine to make you more attractive to women, as your current experiences demonstrate.
Remember, the girls you're getting the positive signals from now are also a little older and they too have different views as to what's attractive in a guy than a 14-year old may have.
We all learn - eventually - that very few women (or men) are perfect physical specimens and look like movie stars. We also realize that we all have our character flaws and personal baggage to deal with, but we also know that honesty, integrity, a sense of humor and some self-respect can translate into an attractive package to the opposite sex, even if the face or body isn't movie-star perfect.
I'm glad to see one of our members is having an interesting romantic life after all the angst we read about and the idiotic games some people play on each other in relationships. Maturity is a wonderful thing. It can bring discernment and in your case, pleasant and welcomed attention from the opposite sex.
You seem to be handling it well. Keep it up and keep us informed.
