It's very easy for people who are good at something to claim that those
who aren't are just lazy and could do it if they merely tried.  For
example, I'm a computer guru and deal with computer neophytes every day. 
If I took Jeff's attitude, I'd piss off every one of my clients.  We all
just have to accept that some people are good at some things that others
are not.  I am just not very good at meeting women.  It's not a matter of
how hard I try (and I *do* try, I assure you.)  I'm just not good at it.

Therefore, I'm ripe pickings for places like G.E.  Telling me that I
could have avoided it by "trying" isn't a productive or helpful reaction.
