Because of much moving growing up, W has always tried to fit in or get approval, even now. With her current work sitch, she now has a group to try to get approval from. But like you pointed out, she might want to look a little closer to what she is trying to emulate. It takes a long time for a lot of people to realize that the party and sleep around crowd generally are not much to look up to or at when it is all said and done. I guess it takes the thicker ones a little longer to figure it out.
I was smart enough to walk away from it early, however the people who convinced me too didn't do so well. A few of them are dead, in prison, but none are really inspiring others to follow their life. Even my musician friends are very diciplined and poised. They even know every positive move has to be planned and executed. (And they are suppose to be the party animal image).
