because social-awkwardness hurts men more than women obviously, because the onus is still placed on guys to make the first move
I don't know. I know a really socially awkward woman and no guy wants to settle down with her. On top of that she's kind of hippieish too. The pendulum swings both ways on the issue of being socially awkward.

but 99 percent of the time it's the mans role to make the approach
But even if a woman is approached, if she is extremely socially awkward - it probably isn't going to lead to a date or a relationship.
You got it. My neighbor was who I was talking about above. She knows she's socially awkward, but she's unaware of how to fix it. She just ends up getting guys who only message her online to sleep with her. She wants a real relationship, but she has no idea how to carry on conversation like an adult. She can talk about adult things, but she's so focused on what she needs to say, which most of the time it's of little use, that basically she emotionally diarrhea bombs on guys. I found out within a week that I had made a really bad decision by starting to talk to her.
She's one of the sweetest people I've ever met, but I wouldn't be caught dead out in public with her or as my girlfriend, because emotionally, I can't take her for longer than a couple minutes.

how so when the man is supposed or expected to lead the interaction? that doesn't really require any skill on the womans part
Then the socially awkward person is better off. If you're that shallow, leave them alone.
How is wanting to have a comfortable conversation with someone shallow? I enjoy talking with people that I can connect with. I do have some friends that are a bit socially awkward - maybe more on the talking too much side and not being aware of when they are saying the wrong thing kind of socially awkward - but if someone is socially awkward to the point that it's like pulling teeth trying to talk to them - then what's the point? And how is that shallow?
