Of course you can. A prostitute does not want for business even though most men won't give her the time of day. The truth is very much that a woman can have as many carnal partners as she likes, but that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the next man you meet. The other side of the coin is that she can't have any man she wants no matter how attractive she is.
The point he is making is that stories about the worst of humanity are not worth telling or watching, at least not time after time. It makes for lousy art.
Thank you for the response ... that does shed some light on the apparent inconsistency.
