Diffident in the most

Hi,

I watched the move "Meet Joe Black", Susan said "How come a man as attractive, intelligent, well-spoken, diffident in the most seductive way, and yet powerful, is all alone in this world?", I know "diffident" means "timid", but what is "diffident in the most seductive way"?

Thanks in advance.

The man in question is reserved in manner, or shy if you like. And that particular behaviour is appealing to Susan.
