Okay, so I've been excited about this one for a while!

I have this hypothesis that rejection breeds resilience, which in turns fosters anti-fragility, and results in courage. It might be a far stretch, but who knows?

I don't know how to test it either. All I know is that for some inexplicable reason, I had a light-bulb moment last week that made me wonder - would women be a lot bolder and bigger, if we become more used to the experience of asking people out on dates - instead of just waiting to be wooed and courted.

Will this social de-conditioning trickle down into other parts of our lives, e.g financial, professional etc, where we really need to become better at asking for what we want?!

Anyways, give it a listen.
