The Israeli-born model - who came top of Maxim's Hot 100 list earlier this week - claims members of the opposite do not flirt with her despite her striking looks.
"Let's put it out there, no one hits on me. I don't get hit on by guys. No one flirts with me," she told TV host Conan O'Brien.
However, Bar - who previously dated Leonardo DiCaprio - does have a list of musts she requires in a man. "Of course there's the obvious things. I want him to be sweet and kind and have values and morals. The first thing I notice is his teeth. I have a fetish. I like a great smile and really white, bright teeth," she added.
Upon being bestowed the title as the hottest woman in the world by Maxim, Bar, 26, told the men's magazine she was delighted to beat the likes of Mila Kunis and Katy Perry to the honor.

Jennifer Lopez has been named the world's most powerful celebrity.
The 42-year-old star has knocked Lady Gaga off the top spot of Forbes magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list - at which she was placed number 50 last year - thanks to her high public profile and endeavors in music, movies, as a judge on American Idol and other endorsement deals, with her income over the last 12 months reaching a staggering $52 million.
The Celebrity 100 - which placed TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey second and Justin Bieber third - is based on income over a 12 month period and fame, as defined by a media presence across all platforms, as well as social media power as determined by prolificness on Facebook and Twitter.
Jennifer's fame was boosted by her 23,000 press mentions, including appearing on 46 major magazine covers, topping People's 2011 Most Beautiful list and being named as a Glamour Woman of the Year.

The "Hello Good Morning" rapper - who has an estimated fortune of $550 million - once again beat Jay-Z ($460 million) to claim the top spot in a list compiled by Forbes magazine.

Jay-Z also has a range of lucrative financial interests, including a deal with Live Nation, his Watch the Throne tour with Kanye West, his 40/40 club chain and a stake in the New Jersey Nets basketball team.
Dr. Dre retained the third place spot he took last year while fourth and fifth places on the list were filled by Bryan "Birdman" Williams and 50 Cent respectively.
