Cinderella is one of the most favorite fairy tales of all time. The famous story of rags to riches is one that little girls take the liking to the most. They love how Cinderella goes from a life as a slave to marrying her true love and living happily ever after. But is this realistic?
Like in the movie He's Just Not That Into You Cinderella is "the exception". This fairy tale is just an Outlier like the novel by Malcolm Gladwell; all her fortune and "happily ever after" is just by chance. Just by happen stance she is given a chance and she does everything in her power to be able to take that chance. If she would have never taken the chance or even thought twice about it none of the magical elements of the story would have been made possible.
In the movie He's Just Not That Into You, the main character talks about how certain romantic love stories are only possible for some. Like the stories where a man and a woman go out for dinner on and date and then never call each other the next day, but a week later call and fall in love and get married (the typical fairy tale love story). In the movie that kind of relationship in the exception and not the rule (a regular relationship without a fairy tale twist) just like an outlier and Cinderella. Not all people can have the romantic love story like the movies portray. An outlier only happens to people who just happen to be presented with the opportunity and take it and actually do well in society.
Cinderella is the outlier, the exception to the rule. In most cases these things typical to an outlier won't happen (the magic never happens) and only when you are presented with a rare opportunity will you ever be close to being an outlier yourself.
