[mod edit...] you don't understand the point I was making.

Your complaint is that it doesn't match real life. The point Booker makes is that stories are also symbolic, and that the symbolism of a female love interest is at odds with easy sexuality, and that inserting that symbolism into the story inevitably drives a story towards a tragic end.
