It sounds like you're trying to live up to what you see as the quintessential, sterotypical male role. I'm a construction worker, I hunt, I used to take karate, I lift weights, I run, etc, and I still have trouble with women. You should read my post "Too Nervous to lose virginity". I guess what I'm trying to say is, being a man has nothing to do with playing sports, or going to titty bars (which I have nothing against), or getting into bar brawls. Just be yourself. As someone with severe self-esteem issues, I know that's easier said than done, but sometimes we just have to nut up and chase what we want. Good luck mate.
