But Janet Jackson isn't some random video chick or aspiring model... she's Janet Jackson. Her being with Dupri was a lateral move as far as status is concerned.
Dupri most likely has a rap and that guy probably doesn't and it sounds like he has never even been friends with a woman. It also seems like he never learned how to handle failure and rejection.
Even within the industry, nobody thought Jermaine with Janet was a lateral move, but a clear upgrade for Jermaine and downgrade for Janet. LOL But I get your point.
You're right about handling failure and rejection, but suppose everything you've tried has been nothing but failure and rejection and keeps occurring over and over again? I think for most people they end up overcoming it, but I never thought about what happens to those that don't?
It's fascinating especially when you look at Nerd culture and places like most of neogaf and it all adds up quite a bit.
I'm friends with a guy at work, and i remember him putting on his facebook page this year that he was hoping to finally get a girlfriend after six years.
Just seeing it first hand, it can be hard because no one else at work takes the guy seriously and won't even bring up dating to him. If they do its typcially in a manner to make him the butt of a Joke.
Yeah, it's just something I never really paid attention to until joining this board and learning a lot.
