Actually, they only attract certain metals. The attraction for other metals is insignificant. For example, a magnet will strongly attract iron.
The way this works is that the magnet induces magnetism in the iron. The iron has tiny areas - domains, I think they are called - of magnetism; an external magnetic field will make those domains align, at least partially.
