You have a subconscious hang-up on women being the problem for everything, which causes inaccuracies and shortsightedness. Sure, there are many women out there that have no clue how to be a parent, but there are just as many men out there that have no clue also. Many times, the parents just abandon their kids to those who are even LESS capable. These are awful influences and clearly cause emotional trauma.
We also have tv shows, sitcoms and romantic stories centered around men being a goofy fool, or a stalker, and somehow still "winning" the woman over as they often call it with their scarcity mindsets. These shows and movies are written by people that don't understand attraction, and only write from their personal fantasies. They may be entertaining, but these are often awful influences on us all.
Not only that, but there are a shortage of decent men AND women with integrity. So this isn't an issue caused by women or mothers. This is an issue that is caused by an entire world that has no clue what they are doing, which causes all kinds of emotional trauma, which gets passed down to the next generation, because most people are not humble enough to self-reflect, identify, and root these bad habits out of themselves, and most are quick to BLAME others for their problems. If our issues are always someone else's fault, then to us, there is nothing to fix or change, and so the cycle continues with all of the broken teachings.

She could be nervous and shy around you, and therefore scared to take a very real step like a date. She could be liking you, but just wanting to stay single at the moment for any reason. She could be testing to see if you lose your composure somehow, making her feel unsafe, which most guys do, which makes it a legitimate test.
There are tons of reasons man and its impossible to know. Whatever the reason, just keep your composure, be your usual cool self. Treat her the same as you always have when you see her. If you've already asked her out, she knows you like her. Nothing else matters. If she's interested, she'll bring it up, because a self-respecting man won't keep chasing or flirting after he has been rejected.
In other words, the reason doesn't matter. All that matters is that you went for who you wanted, and now you know the outcome, so you have no regrets.

This is a limiting belief, man. Hypergamy is not how attraction works. Hypergamy is a lifestyle choice for toxic women. The world in general does not understand how attraction actually works, which is why they gravitate toward superficial explanations like this one.
Whether they know it or not, women are attracted to MASCULINITY. Masculinity is not defined by status or amounts of money. Those things are superficial. Masculinity is not superficial. You or I can attract just about any type of woman regardless of her "social status".
Masculinity is drive, purpose, mission, succeeding, accomplishing, overcoming obstacles, chasing goals, boundaries, being direct and decisive, taking the lead, and getting stuff done like taking care of himself and his household, and also having humility. These qualities will beat out money every time.
The reason why men aren't attracting women in those stats is because their parents don't know how to teach them. TV and movies teach men to be stalkers and act more feminine. Then you have videos like this that validate men in not self-reflecting and learning and continue to blame women for their problems. Not that I think you are doing this intentionally, because you seem like you're genuinely looking for answers, but there are tons of videos out there that blatantly tell men to blame women for everything. Its counterproductive and just as toxic as an actual hypergamous woman.

We definitely can mess ourselves up when we focus on our fears. I think in that scenario though with the guy picking a fight, the self-sabotage was the fact that he started a fight, because, he could have gotten jail time and lost his job and went downhill due to that one decision to start a fight, or gotten serious injuries or possibly death. The guys holding him back was his safety net, because he didn't really want to fight deep down, but that part wasn't the sabotage.
Self-sabotage comes from our own fears, and we make the things we focus on comes true. So if we focus on our fear, we will make that fear come true.
The solution would be to actively change our focus to something else or something upbuilding for ourselves when we notice ourselves focusing on our fears. So if the guy starting the fight would have decided to stop focusing on how weak he feels, or how he doesn't care about anything, and changed his focus to how strong he is for making it to where he is, or how there are still things worth caring about including himself, he wouldn't have started that fight. In other words, he would be ok if he stopped focusing on his insecurities and started focusing on the truth.

Your compromised position of cynicism is not the best you can do. Thats the story you tell yourself so that you don't have to do the work, self-examine, admit your faults and ultimately humble yourself. Any emotional pain you endure while doing so is very temporary, and therefore, an extremely low price to pay for being free of cynicism the rest of your life and being more open to the truth. You telling yourself that cynicism is the best you can do is what is actually NOT GROUNDED IN REALITY. You, in fact, are capable of more. And you are using your intelligence to convince yourself that you are not.
Your ultimate message here is to give up and stop looking for a solution. This, in itself, is cynical. Your teleprompter debacle, for example, just was not the solution. The only solution here to not having to look away from the camera is not more technology. The solution is just to memorize your point, and practice not accidentally repeating yourself. Its possible to develop yourself in that way.
Don't get me wrong though, I see your point of how looking down isn't even a problem in the first place, because such a problem doesn't actually affect the entire course of your life if not changed, BUT being generally cynical about something completely DOES effect the course of your life HEAVILY, and therefore can literally cost you true happiness and fulfillment in your own life if not addressed.

@Mark Patterson Practicing being myself included saying what was on my mind out loud, instead of holding it in as only a thought. Making a joke that came to mind even though there is a chance no one would laugh or care, voicing my disagreements, no matter how unpopular my opinion might be, and not being afraid to smile and wave at people when I want to, or compliment a stranger or anybody really, or being honest about embarrassing things about myself, or say "no" to people when appropriate for myself, or tell someone that I do not appreciate something said about me, and not just laugh it off if I didn't feel good about it. Even something like doing random stretches and exercises when I wanted to around groups of people, even if they made fun of me for it. Also, not laughing at jokes I didn't like, such as jokes at someone else's expense or jokes that I felt were shallow and gross just to make the one making the joke feel more comfortable. Or just not changing my demeanor when speaking to someone with lots of power or a woman I felt was extremely beautiful, or a man that looks like an extremely rough gang banger. Treat everyone the same and keep the same boundaries with everyone.
I'm still working on this stuff to be honest, but I've gotten much better. The practice just consists of those little things that I think anyone can start practicing one at a time if they really wanted to, and if they were willing to honestly examine their own behavior.

You do need your own things to do and some alone time, yeah. Although, you speak as if you aren't even truly interested in the woman you're with. You said to see her as little as possible? Then why be with her if you don't enjoy your time with her?
Also, its never been said you must spend all of your non-working hours together. Just learn how to have fun with your woman when you are together.
Also, you make excuses as to why you don't have to listen to her or try to understand her saying its impossible, but its literally not, because she is a human being just like you. Helping her feel heard and understood actually ignites her attraction toward you making her want sex more, yet you advocate against this. No wonder you feel you must try to convince a woman to have sex because you refuse to do the things that actually cause attraction.
Also, you're right that sex helps with the emotional aspects, BUT you focus on sex FIRST, instead of just having fun and getting to know her first WITHOUT sex. This doesn't work and that's why you come off as sex crazed, because you put sex first. Its the wrong order.
