Is it true that shyness doesn't do anything to attract ladies?

Depends on the lady.

Yes that's true, unless you are just astoundingly handsome.

Shyness often prevents one meeting potential partners in the first place so it definitely doesn't help!

It's not really the shyness, it's the display of fear, that doesn't attract. Confidence does! 🙂

Would shyness help me attract men? (I have the answer, no, no it doesn't.)

It depends what you mean with shy. As long as you're confident enough to be honest and show efforts and she appreciate you for you, I don't think it matters.
