I don't want to flirt or buy shit for women because that automatically puts me in a lower position than them- I have to make the moves, flirt the right way, put myself out there, and I *might* get a bone thrown at me. The way I see it, if a girl isn't obviously into me and makes a move (it's happened before) then I really want nothing to do with her to feed her already massive woman-ego. The whole notion of women being the gatekeepers just turns me off.
Am i missing something.
I don't even know how to flirt. I never developed that social skill.

No, you aren't this is exactly how a man should be thinking.
The only reason women think they are the gate keepers is because too many dumb men play into their games and allow them.
Men are actually the gate keepers, we age like wine while women age like cheese, hence why older wealthy men will pick them out like cattle while they are still young.

This, like honestly how the fuck do you even flirt. Literally all I can do is extend small talk for a bit until it dies.

Literally just making them laugh and acting cute.

Yeah, a brain.
/r9k/ has filled your skull with bullshit and now your love life suffers as a result. As long as you insist upon acting like a manbaby whose views developing a relationship with a woman as a battle of egos you'll experience nothing but dysfunctional relationships and a constant revolving door of psychotic women who don't respect you as a person and merely use you as a placeholder to reenact whatever trauma they experienced as a child.
Immediately get off of 4chan and stop being such a dumb bitch.

In other words, you're afraid she'll say no. My advice to you is to grow the fuck up.

You are projecting.

The bit where relationships aren't all about sheltering your fragile ego.
