I mean, to be blunt, I think probably some men who hit on women based on physical attraction aren't necessarily interested in her personality, or getting to know her for longer than, say, it would take to hook up with them. And I know it's a stereotype of men but it's also true in general that there are people who don't need a getting-to-know you routine or to be emotionally comfortable with a person in order to want to just sleep with them. And they might be hoping that there's just a chance you might feel the way, because you are quite attractive. :)
However, I imagine there are also people who hit on attractive people in order to try to get to know them, and hope there's something more you might have in common, because wouldn't you just love to find out that you and that hottie over there in fact do have a lot in common, and hit it off fantastically. And, if one is physically attracted to someone and hopes that there may be a chance of a relationship, they might just start in with the flirting so as to not get put in the "friend" category, so to speak.
Either way, I'm sure their are a lot of reasons, shallow and not, well-thought out and not, for it, but those were my first thoughts on the matter.
