You could try doing volunteer work.  I'm doing a training course to
be a telephone counselor and the ration is about 10 women for every
man.  Also putting energy into helping others instead of focusing on
yourself just might increase your confidence.

In the Bay Area there are Sierra Singles organized hikes and such.  I
haven't gone but it seems like a good way to meet MOTAS in daylight.

I also find it easy to meet men in coffeeshops on Sunday and Saturdays
when everyone just hangs out reading the paper and soaking up the sun.

I've heard that the ratio in SoCal is more in your favor than here
so you should have an easier time in situations away from work.
Of course friendliness and positivity are the most important.  I will
always choose to talk to the guy who seems upbeat simply because it's
more fun.
