Bucks lock horns.
Peacocks strut their feathers.
From time immemorial, males have to impress females to get in the panties.
Might as well be mad at Mother Nature.
The difference is that bucks and peacocks don't really have a choice but to act that way. Humans do, yet when they act like that anyway even when they have the capacity to choose a less harsh, less stressful way of life than that, it's disappointing. It doesn't have to be like that anymore, and in fact, the kind of behavior that we had no choice but to adopt as hunter-gatherers, is probably just going to get you jailed or killed today. All it does is add stressors and dangers into your life that are completely avoidable and unnecessary, and reduces all of existence to a dick-measuring contest. I don't think it should be that way. I think there's better things to live for and it's shameful that so many people are stuck in that mindset.

If you never went to a job interview, then taking that step is doing great yes, even if it doesn't result in a job.
If you come in second at the olympic 100 meter sprint, you did great, although you didn't get what you really wanted.
Some things we simply will not succeed at first time we try, should that mean we shouldn't try at all?
Not all successes are equal though. You might get other chances to succeed, but they might not be as big of successes as you could have had if you'd played your cards right when it mattered the most. In Garret's mind, that girl may have been the best, so whoever he winds up with, if anyone, might not be as good, so he might still feel like he lost. He might kick himself wishing he'd known what to do when he had his big chance.
