Generally, this behavior follows some sort of event.
Most men do not behave this way, and practice this due to external effectors.
I am sorry, it is not a myth.
I have not done "research" nor have I any real experience except my own and observation over the years.
I frame this from a perspective of those that stray from relationships, and what I can remember from single life.
It is not as simple as "I like sex, I like sex with as many different women as I can"
That is asinine.

Less approachable to strangers? Possibly. More attractive and approachable to acquaintances? In my experience, definitely. You are also much more likely to be received well when introducing yourself cold to someone if you dress nicely too.

The remark was in the context of people who already know each other at least slightly (for example, college classmates) and yet barely pay attention to each other until dressed up and possibly intoxicated. (Complete strangers hooking up seems not to be a typical case.) It would be an oversimplication to say appearance is the whole story or even most of it, but it very likely is an important part of it. Yes, formal attire can be a barrier to social interaction, but most people out there dress in a casual, unflattering way.

It's certainly not the whole story, I agree. Although I think dressing well, yet casually (sports coats, button down shirts, nice shoes) makes you received better when you approach others. I don't know if it makes you more approachable.

Formal is tails. That WOULD be a barrier as you'd (sadly) look out of place and silly in most situations.
