Certainly not, just as the male members aren't.

You're going to have to get over the awkwardness. The only way out of your predicament is forward. Bite the bullet. Use those shining social skills you insist you have. You say you're baffled how men find girlfriends. Men are telling you how they find girlfriends, so you shouldn't be baffled anymore. It's a matter of doing it. If you can't break through the awkwardness barrier, get a shrink for a few months. It would be an investment in yourself.

good luck to the OP, everyone knows the competition gets much tougher online than in the real world, and women are far more picky and choosy online than they are in real life

Otherwise, I agree with you...as usual

The Zen of it is that if you don't *try* to attract a gal, that is when you will attract one. Just keep building yourself up, in terms of muscle, in terms of job and financials, dress well, etc.

If you have a hobby that you like, get good at that, it won't hurt. Or some sort of volunteer activity.
