It just dawned on me that young Winston Wu was kind of a little Chad in his early twenties...

@Winston wrote in an old post, years ago:

In a greenhouse garden in Victoria, Canada



In Las Vegas



In the canyons of southern Utah







Kissing at the airport after our first romantic week together



Here is Robin with her mom, Barbara LaFleur, and sister, Jennifer LaFleur (I'm sure they'll love seeing their pics in this thread lol)



Anyone get any vibes from these pictures? I sure looked younger back then huh? lol

And this kind of surprised me, in a good way. Because I've always known Winston as this washed-up, goofy looking middle-aged Asian man in his fifties with a gigantic balloon head, and I realize I never really saw him in his prime. And in his prime, Winston was able to get a slender white girl with decent facial features, which for an awkward Asian dude is no small feat.

Which leads me to suggest that I was wrong in some of my previous impressions of Winston... he does, indeed, have some "hidden skills" and some potential, long-since buried underneath decades of excessive eating, living, whoring and too many deep-dives into the abyss of conspiracy theories... I do wonder how well Winston might still do, if he cleaned up his act, got fit, in shape and started taking his health seriously.

Because a man without hope, without potential, would not have been able to attract a girl on Winston's exes level. That, alone, says a lot about Winston's potential chances. The long list of romantic conquests makes more sense now. Because, bear in mind, Winston said that WHILE he was dating this skinny blonde girl, he was actually unfaithful to her and meeting other chicks from AOL lol. So he was kind of a Lothario back in the day.

i agree - when he states his 'holocaust' school days and his 'barren and dateless' love life, he's not telling us the full story. I think that's what it is more than anything, we're getting half a sorry arsed tale. I don't think Winston Wu of 1997 would have ever dreamt that he would end up washed out in Angeles City fat and f***ing whores, he probably thought he was on route to the school cheerleader. I tell you what, I would have been happily banging Robin La Fleur at 18 and I wouldn't have been f***ing around on AOL in my spare time looking for other women either

Yeah, there isn't always such a natural progression and we don't all get only hotter and hotter girls after each failed relationship. More often than not, we hit our prime, and date the finest women early on, and never quite reach those levels again later in life. There are, of course, plenty of exceptions to this rule. Winston, however, does not appear to be among them. It's kind of curious because I thought everything he ever wanted was a "high quality" girl from a "high quality race". I recall Winston speaking rather disparagingly of the supposed racial and genetic inferiority of Filipinas, for instance. Looks like he screwed himself out of a pretty sweet deal.

Winston wasn't ugly he had some appeal looks-wise,but I think we younger guys underestimate how easy it was to get women back in the 90s and 2000s,before the advent of social media simps inflating women's egos,and women only going after rich social media hunks with the advent of instagram making them think this is ubiquitous(and the most desirable thing to have).

Remember,that online dating used to be seen as for losers when it first came out,now it's the go to way to meet partners.

Thanks for the compliment. But come on man. She was so plain. Not passionate or sensual at all. Also she was kind of feminist and not lady like and not that feminine. But beggars can't be choosy of course.

You forget that anyone who plays slot machines in a casino everyday will eventually score a jackpot. It's a fluke but it eventually happens if you are at it everyday. She didn't fall for me because of my looks. In fact, when we first talked online, she thought I was 4ft9 by accident due to a typo and she still liked me. So it wasn't about looks. More like a hopeless romantic, sweet personality type of thing. My online username on AOL was Romeo too, so that attracted a lot of girls in the 1990s.

So you can't call it an accomplishment or due to my looks, because anyone who plays a slot machine everyday eventually wins something, even if it's a small jackpot. But it's a fluke and doesn't mean you are a good gambler. lol

[Winston]

Btw MZ. I just turned 50. I haven't been 50 for a long time, as you wrongly insinuate. Please stop trying to use my age against me. It's low down and dirty. I was never American girls' type, no matter what age I was, especially with the curse on me from the heavens and the universe that I've had since 1983. Even the Christians are my church youth group didn't really like me and I could feel it. They just tolerated me.

Still, it's indicative of some sort of potential on your end, was what I was trying to say. I know a lot of Asian and black men see even getting a rather basic white woman as a grand accomplishment, so to such men you'd be a King for scoring with one in America. I have one Filipino friend, a tall seaman, six footer. He got a Spanish girl once in a bar while on leave from the ship. Everyone in town is super proud of him, like he's some sort of Conquistador doing "reverse colonizing" lol. It's rather funny.

Thanks for the compliment. But come on man. She was so plain. Not passionate or sensual at all WITH YOU.

The problem with having those opportunities is you take them for granted. Looking back, I had a lot of average or cute looking girls who liked me in high school, but I was always holding out for girls who were unobtainable. Youth is wasted on the young and dumb.

@Winston We have no proof or evidence that you are indeed 50. How do we know that's your real age?

In what way did he use it against you? Pointing out that someone is older is a statement of fact.

I would avoid Prozac if I can. "Mexican jumping bean" is prozac. Though regular toothpaste is fine, Robin's advice of not rinsing after brushing is not needed. And the other pill he took after prozac. Does he remember that?

Quality > quantity

It's not such a bad idea to explore Christian youth groups, Russia, etc. It's just that half of Asian men who earn less than global average in rural Asia only date 1 or 2 before they get married.

Plus, prozac, isfj and istp can be learned another way. Personality-database.com

Remember it's 2023 not 1980.
