1. Gaston didn't strike me as the type who wanted a challenge. Heck, if anything, his big blowup and sulking over not being able to get Belle would point to him not even tolerating challenges at all, wanting to ace everything easily. If he said "heh, she refused me, almost makes me excited trying to pursue her, and I intend to savor the victory once I do" after the refusal, being if anything even MORE overjoyed like some sort of masochist, then I probably could see it.

2. Maybe if that "easy to get" girl actually LOOKS like DOA girls (who, BTW, are famous or possibly even infamous for being sexualized) and thus came far closer to actually LOOKING like the most beautiful women in the village, it would have at least worked to his tastes, especially given his pursuit of Belle is completely at odds with his view on women.

3. Gaston, while chauvinistic, is not at all misogynistic. A true misogynist wouldn't even STOMACH the idea of being in the same room as a woman for ANY reason other than maybe pragmatic like needing to breed. Want a true misogynist? Try Chi Fu, or heck, even General Blue (especially his interactions with Bulma).
