This is like hitting my head up against a brick wall. Based on what you've said, you seem to think that all men are basically alike, and want sex right away, and all women are basically alike and want to withhold sex as a bargaining chip.
I don't think that's true about either gender. But I don't know if there's really anything left to be said because you seem determined to cling to what you believe. All I can say is, approaching women as the enemy in a contest to get them to give it up isn't going to make dating very pleasant. Maybe if you stop believing that we all think of sex as a power play, and start thinking of each woman you meet as a individual with her own reasons for the things she does, you'll find interacting with them more enjoyable.
Good luck.
