Yellowstone Fans Just Can't Wrap Their Heads Around This Aspect Of Jimmy's Character

In a "Yellowstone” subreddit u/thethriftygal asks, "What is up with these wom[en] practically throwing themselves at Jimmy?!" The Redditor also brings up two such incidences: when Mia began having sex with Jimmy when he was in the hospital and could barely move and when Emily walked in on him in the shower. While Jimmy is a charismatic and sweet guy, he doesn't seem like someone women would fight over, but fans have theories.
"Well, in the hospital scene, there is a not so subtle hint at the size of Jimmy's stallion," u/DHumphreys wrote, referring to Season 3, Episode 4 ("Going Back to Cali") when the nurse is having Jimmy move around after his hip replacement, and his gown falls open as Mia walks in the room and the nurse says, "I think it's the way God made that one."
U/Da1realBigA has a different perspective, saying that "the most important thing to these two women that have an interest in him is that he's naive and innocent and they are not." With Jimmy confessing to Mia that he was a virgin, this answer is compelling, and an interview Kelly gave about why Emily is attracted to him seems to confirm this is most likely the reason. "He has this sort of innocence about him where, like, he doesn't even know how to play games, if he wanted to," she said in a "Behind the Story” episode. Emily "thinks it's super refreshing and she's super attracted to that." Whatever the reason, I'm sure we'll get a better idea when the "Yellowstone" spinoff "6666" is finally released.
