I completely agree. I just didn't feel like getting into another disagreement with him. My social circle in Atlanta was/is amazing and is filled with young, healthy, attractive, college educated men AND women. I only know two "industry" people and they Morehouse and Spelman graduates; therefore, they are a little different from your random "manager" or "singer/artist."
The last time I was there doing research I ended up at an assistant DA's birthday party because she is a friend of a friend. I ended up meeting a lot of other good people. I really never had an issue finding the type of people I wanted to be around, but that's just me (we attract what we are).
