> The simple notion of asking more people to grab a casual coffee didn’t seem to crack my thick skull until I reached my early 30s. I think what actually happens is us men get older and more attractive in their late 20s and early 30s. We have to deal with so much shit (including rejection and disappointment from employers, women, business deals, customers) that we just become made of stone and either get used to failure or become more confident/realistic about what our actual chances of success are in any given scenario. Same can be said of people who start companies when they are young vs. when they are older.
