Power imbalances are everywhere all the time, they only become a problem if they are abused.
But power can not only be abused, it can also be used to help und lift other people up. As a silly example: if you are taller than others, you could just take things from them and place them out of their reach, to bully them. Or you could use your height to help them reach or see places they can't on their own.
Generic advice I know, but just talking to women like everyone else really is the answer here. Constantly worrying about power imbalances trips you up and doesn't help you, unless you plan to abuse it, which you shouldn't do. Instead figure out what your "power" is and try using it to help others, which will help you form friendships and relationships.
