A positive object brought near a neutral insulator polarizes its molecules. There is a slight shift in the distribution of the electrons orbiting the molecule, with unlike charges being brought nearer and like charges moved away. Since the electrostatic force decreases with distance, there is a net attraction. Insulators tend to be at opposite ends of the triboelectric series while metals tend to be more in the center. So, insulators tend to become more easily charged when rubbed by almost anything material that's more in the middle of the triboelectric series.
