17. Studs TV show, what happened?
Oh, shit. Another defining moment in my life.
In a nutshell, I went on a dating gameshow and was rejected on National Television by 3 women. Several things happened:
1) Despite being painfully insecure at the time, I was quite witty on the show. It was the first time I was on camera and it boosted my confidence significantly.
2) Pre STUDS, I had never really asked a girl out on a date. Sure, I hooked up occasionally at parties, but I had never really asked someone out. After that experience, all other rejection seemed easy to deal with.
I wrote up the whole experience here:
