This is a bit of a humorous situation. Ross wants to flatter Elizabeth's father, so he says that he and Elizabeth's father are not that different, and that he too "is a neat guy." In this context, "neat" means something similar to "cool" or "fun." Thus, he is stating that Elizabeth's father is cool. Rachel's father's reaction is to feel flattered at the compliment, so Ross' trick has worked.
