It's all about self-confidence. If you have the mindset that you're good enough, and who cares what other people think, then you'll have no trouble. If, on the other hand, you are too much into thinking what women think about you, then you'll come off as needy. That's a turn-off to women. This is a problem, I know, if you're not around women very often, and you feel that you have limited opportunity to introduce yourself. Thus, I'd advocate that if you're single, you've got to make an effort to be places where you can frequently see women.
A man who doesn't have time or access to be in close proximity to women will usually find himself in a dilemma. Not enough time to make women feel that they know you well enough. Not enough time to prevent you from jumping too soon to meet the women, given the lack of time, so that you often come off looking needy.
Self confidence is defiantly true. But when you start taking more care of yourself, you do it for you. When you start trying to keep yourself up, people defiantly notice. Plus you gain much more self confidence.
How come when a woman creates a post about, "How come there are no good men left?" or "Where can I find a man that meets these qualifications?" that people come to her rescue? However, when a man posts about "Where can I find a woman who will understand me?" or "Where can I find a woman that isn't turned off by blue collar types?" that he gets ridiculed or sneered at?
America, we really aren't as "progressive" as we think we are.

Because there's a double standard and men don't have the same sense of solidarity as the sisters.
Look at the quintessential blue collar cities. Philadelphia, Baltimore even NYC in places in Brooklyn come to mind from my personal experience. The dress code for men of all races in Philly is a long scruffy beard and construction Timberlands (regardless if the boots are new or beat up) all year round. Baltimore is just a rough around the edges city that is not pressed over metrosexuality or the latest fashion for the vast majority of its residents. The areas of Brooklyn that aren't gentrified are full of big leather jacket wearing tough guy types who do not wear spandex jeans. Steer clear of DC. DC is full of straight people who shop at the same stores as homosexual men and dudes who wear pink oxford shirts with lime green blazers or tight bright red khakis. Even many people in the hood in DC dress extremely metrosexual. Add to the fact that no one works with with their hands in DC or looks like it.
