Why would that make any difference? Oh wait...

Double standard at play here? Hmmm... an 'average' women should not have much difficulty but an 'average' guy should expect to have much more difficulty... is that it?

Interesting that some of the respondents here - myself included - thought you are a man. Hmmm...

Find your strong points and build on them. FInd you weak points and challenge your fears. Nothing builds confidence like accomplishing even smallest goals and challenging your own fears. Step out of your comfort zone. Be confident and content with who you are. WIth that, all you need to do is be your best self to offer plenty to any relationship.

Interesting. Maybe it's different for my because I'm female. No competing here.

That's a good idea. Work on yourself. You'll find that women will start pursuing you along the way. In my case, I don't just feel I have nothing to offer, I know. (I'm basically homeless, but that is another story) So I do the best I can to survive (I work online, no panhandling).

I couldn't tell. However, it would have helped if there was some information on your profile. I did look. All message boards I have ever posted on will state the gender but not here.

My apologies. It really did sound like a guy posting. That's what I get for assuming.
I slightly edited my post...

You're not long out of college, is that right? I was really shy in my 20's, except with my friends. The shyness is definitely a factor. One thing you can do is practice talking to strangers. Just light, casual banter, like in the check-out line at the grocery store, at the bus stop or coffee shop. Talk to anyone, male or female, old or young. Just little chit-chat. Push yourself out of your comfort zone at least to that extent. Then after awhile it'll get easier. If you're in a group, pick a woman who seems nice (after you've been in the group a few times and get to know people) and start up a conversation. Regard it as practice, not a live-or-death make-it-or-break-it potential flirt or date. Just practice talking casually. Change and growth don't come without effort.

Even if looks were an issue, rabbit, this kind of thing can overcome that, but we've been around that track before. I don't want to sound like a broken record.
