You've so far shot down/given excuses for every suggestion given. Bad start.
And if not getting replies to your yahoo ad is so bad...just wait until you really get into it. Next are the ones who write you back...a few times that is, and then ignore you. After that, the ones you actually are able to meet in person, but will blow you off and disappear afterwards. Disappointment after disappointment. If you have the patience to stick it out, it won't be so bad after and you'll not care anymore...that's when you'll succeed and learn to play the numbers.
Take the suggestions you've been given so far...take a hundred pictures and pick the best, or get professional ones done if necessary. Put up your ad here for review and get some helpful tips.
I'd say work on other parts of your social life first. Chances are, you'll meet a lot of women through that.
Hell, I'm shy too, but when I stopped making excuses and feeling sorry for myself, and put myself out in public and took some chances, that's when I made progress.
