“There are cultures in which a young man, to signal his interest in a woman, would camp outside her house for any number of days. The ones who aren't really interested say, '...to hell with it, it's not worth it!' – In this sense, signalling screens people out.”
— Michael Spence
Nobel Prize-winning economist; Stanford provost and NYU president
