Unfortunately, when it comes to meeting women you have ... what is it? ... 7 seconds to make a good impression. (Others can correct me, but that's the number I remember.)

Which means you have to convey what they're looking for. In general, women are looking for confidence and health (traits common to an "alpha" male). Those of us who are socially awkward don't tend to exhibit these traits so before you even open your mouth to talk to them, most women have already decided that the socially awkward aren't worth their time.

That said, since we've brought up the whole alpha, beta nonsense, let those alphas and betas struggle. Alphas don't, in general, form lasting relationships and betas are too busy trying to on-up the alphas to take over their position. Instead, strive to be a gamma, these are the unique individuals that don't play the game and are genuinely nice people. Then the issue is finding a woman who is done playing the games, tired of getting cheated on by alphas and betas and sick of not being treated well. That's where you'll step in and form a long and fulfilling relationship.

Hang in there, women usually come around after time.
