You're small and thin. Visible abs will help you a lot.
I'm large. They don't help me all that much (at least not that I've noticed, on the few occasions I've had them).
That's the most important thing.
Anyway, while visible abs will help you, don't let the lack of them stop you from trying.
A) gaining more experience will help you
B) unless you're at a pool or a beach, women aren't going to see your abs when you first meet anyway
Additionally, and I've said this many times across many forums over many years, in my particular case I've found that the sacrifices and discipline it took for me to have visible abs weren't worth it. I'm quite fond of saying "I'd rather drink a 6-pack than have a 6-pack". Being able to cut loose and have fun is more attractive to women than excess vanity.
Your mileage may vary, and again, since you're small, they're more likely to help you.

13% is not low enough
Abs too small as well

Being decent bodyfat range will never go against you.
But at 150lbs, if it makes you look weak and skinny then may not be that great.
I'd hold there and do a lean bulk

Abs will not get you women. Social skills and frame will

Yup. Getting women any other way than social skills is how you end up with autistic alphas

I recall a thread a while back from the OP about using his motorcycle to game women, but not knowing how to escalate.
Abs are no substitute for game. Even if you go to a beach party with a great 6-pack, the same issue of not knowing how to escalate will come up.
Sure the bike/abs can get you in the door, with the right situation. But if you can’t escalate, none of it matters, plain and simple. Same with body fat %, or being huge, or whatever. Women are very rarely going to bed themselves for you.
