It's not hate; I doubt most women literally hate or dislike awkward guys. Those that do probably aren't good matches for you anyway. However...
Awkward people tend to often act (mostly inadvertently and subconsciously) in a way that is unexpected and confuses others - i.e. they aren't immediately sure how to react or respond. The awkward person may say something that doesn't quite "fit" neatly into the context of the conversation, resulting in others mentally going "WTF". The awkward person may crack a joke that doesn't make contextual sense or that has bad timing, which usually results in brief weird silence or the other person(s) responding in a hesitant, halting, or stammering manner...or maybe a forced (and fake) chuckle or laugh. These kinds of situations tend to make others feel uncomfortable and even a bit awkward themselves briefly (when they normally aren't). And most people understandably prefer to keep their distance from folks like that.
There may be that rare woman out there who likes you the way you are, awkwardness included. If so, great. But you will be much better off in life (personal, romantic and professional) if you make an effort to not come across so awkward to others.
Notice how I capitalized so much. I grasp the reason why awkwardness in general is frowned upon by women (sign of low confidence/weakness, makes thing uncomfortable, etc), but I really don't see why they have to look at as if it's some incurable disease that they instantly write a guy off for.
Hate is too strong of a word in this context. I would say avoid. If it is not a desirable trait, why would one want to associate with it?
[note: there is cool/cute awkward and then there is OMG awkward]

Maybe it's the women that you're choosing.
It's okay if a guy's shy and somewhat socially awkward. No one's perfect.
Because the thing women find most attractive in a man ain't his pecs, his bank account, his eyes, his height, or anything else like that. It's his self confidence, his ability to walk into a room and NOT look like a dog that's just had a haircut. And an awkward guy is the exact opposite of that.

This.
We keep having OP's that make assumptions about what women do and don't like, and these assumptions are usually wrong, for some women. There are women who like short guys, women who like shy guys, women who like endearingly awkward guys (not creepy-awkward), etc. It all depends on the short guy, or the shy guy, or the awkward guy. Not all shy guys, short guys and awkward guys were created alike. There's so much more to people than one single feature.
