I really enjoy all these headcanons of hisagi being the gotei 13’s most eligible himbo lol

I don't think "himbo" is quite the correct description. A himbo is kind, beefy, and stupid, and I wouldn't really describe Hisagi as any of those things, at least not as primary defining characteristics. Hisagi is very cool-looking, in a dangerous, edgy, and completely misleading sort of way. He rides a motorcycle in a land where everyone walks everywhere, and carries around not one scythe, but two double-scythes, but I feel like he would also ask you to text him when you get home from your date so he knows you made it safely. The '69' is polarizing. Either it's a red flag or it piques your curiosity. He seems sensitive and artsy, except that he's not actually very good at playing his guitar, all his Bulletin columns are unpopular, and Nanao says his cooking "is boring." (He seems to like it, so good for him! but also his favorite food is hot dogs, so hmmm!). I think he's actually very smart--he's well-read, loves to learn, and is great at making connections between things, but my headcanon is that he's absolutely riddled with learning disabilities (primarily ADHD, but then all the co-morbidities like dyslexia and dyscalculia). I mean:

He exudes an air of cool indifference, but in actuality, I think he's one of the hardest working people in the Seireitei, except that he's always split between nineteen different things, so he never comes off like a star worker. He's a little bit slow on the uptake--in WDKALY, he and Hanatarou were the only ones who didn't guess what Rukia and Renji's "big announcement" was, when they invited everyone to a fancy restaurant to tell everyone they were engaged. His best friends are all big nerds, yet they drag him constantly.

Anyway, I say all this with unalloyed affection. Anyone can make a character who is cool. Hisagi is the coolest guy in your friend group, which is a much harder target to hit. In my mind, he is also kinda slutty. He tells really interesting stories, but he'll also listen to absolutely anyone talk about anything they're interested in. He is very Open to Experiences. Even he's kind of a disaster, he can absolutely Get It, and to that I say, once again, good for him.
