What Winston wants and what a woman that he is pursuing wants are two totally different things. Until he finds a woman whose goals match his own, he will never be happy or satisfied. I think that Winston has learned that he has to lie in order to make any progress with any woman he pursues. Because if a woman finds out what his true intention or end goal is, she will reject him. Winston's goals and her goals are not the same. They are incompatible, like fire and water. And so he gets rejected, over and over again. Why is this so difficult to understand???
I imagine that what Winston wants is a female version of himself who is a sexy super model who will overlook all of his faults and give him mind blowing sex whenever he wants it with no strings attached. And also entertain him endlessly with her wit, humor and intelligence. And once her beauty fades and the sex becomes routine, it's on to the next woman. Good luck with that, LOL!!!!!

You are exaggerating for humor and creating straw mans. I never said any of those things.
I have similar goals with Chinese women in that I believe in these stages:
1. Dating first and getting to know each other.
2. Becoming boyfriend/girlfriend.
3. Getting engaged and planning a wedding.
I'm ok with that process too. Aren't we all? So how is my goal different from theirs?
You forget that I have bad luck and Murphy's Law and those are factors against me too. Seriously. No joke.
Even Rock will admit that he's seen enough Murphy's Law happen around me to believe that it indeed is a very real phenomenon in my life, even though it's unexplainable by conventional science. So it is definitely real.
Some people are meant to struggle and be unlucky with certain areas of life.
Bill Bixby, the guy who played Incredible Hulk in the 70's, was kind, caring and loyal to all his wives. Yet they constantly left him. So he was plagued with bad luck in relationships and marriages, even though he had good luck in his acting career. So you see, some people are just plagued with curses and bad luck in one area of life.
Also, if you read Greek or Nordic mythology, you will find that "the Gods" will often select people on Earth for their own reasons, to be lucky or unlucky. Some people are chosen to be lucky and blessed, and become great heros, while others are chosen to suffer and strive or even become martyrs and die for a cause. The Gods have their reasons and they are out of your control. Even the Biblical God showed favoritism and dislike as well. He liked some people and disliked others. For example, in Genesis, God liked Abel's offering but rejected Cain's, for some unknown reason. That may be what happens in real life too. It would explain a lot.
Some families are cursed too. For example, Bruce Lee's family and the Kennedy family, show a long string of misfortunes and curses. A ton of evidence, events and examples make this obvious.
