The reason why Mike had more girls after him was because he was human....and human girls could relate to him.

Humans are naturally repelled towards vampires. The human students are just freaked out and spooked and basically feel creepy about the Cullen kids. That didn't mean that they didn't find them attractive....because the Cullen kids were supernaturally super-attractive. But that doesn't help the fact that they're downright creepy to their fellow human students.

Bella says that it took weeks for sweet natured Angela to feel somewhat comfortable sitting next to Alice during lunchtime. Mike feels totally repelled by Emmett during the graduation party. Jessica told Bella that she didn't know how Bella could sit next to Edward or have a conversation with him.

Despite the fact that the Cullen kids have great looks and super trendy clothes...the human students at Forks just felt too creeped out to be anywhere near them. It just so happens that Bella was the reverse of the human norm. Instead of being repelled...she felt an attraction towards the Cullen kids and was drawn to them. This was one of the reasons Edward was so crazy about Bella...he didn't freak her out like he did the other students at Forks.
