> Like, my main problem is meeting women at all. Second main problem is impressing them enough to give me a chance to showcase my attractive qualities, which unlike my unattractive qualities, are not in plain view.

Going to the gym helps with both of these problems. The gym is a place you can meet people, being fit makes you more confident and makes it easier to meet people, and being fit gives you attractive qualities that are in plain view.

The gym I go to has maybe 10 female regulars (including my wife). I think the reason it's so low is because of men advising other men to meet girls at the gym, or people going with that goal in-mind.

My wife has to put up with all sorts of weird behaviour (staring, unsolicited advice, chatting up, following around the gym, and occasionally somebody trying to leave with her, which cuts my workout short) just to get a workout. If we didn't live in such a small living space, we'd build a home gym to get away from public gyms.

I know you're not advising that, but I think more-or-less the gym isn't an environment for meeting people, unless it's truly a per-chance meeting where neither side is actively looking for anything.

I would even suggest to skip the gym (as in body building kind of gym) and go straight to group fitness classes (say Zumba or something similar). Those are choke full of women and positive energy, and finding someone is very easy. I would even go as further and say that you might even get to choose. Ask me how I know ;)

Group fitness classes are great because someone else tells you what to do so there is less to think about when you go.
