"For example, usually asking someone out on a date has huge asymmetric upside. You might hit it off and end up being in a happy relationship. If not, you'd just be a little embarrassed and maybe awkward with the person afterward."

Or it goes so "well" that you get married and they take half your stuff in a divorce.

I guess the asymmetric upside is you asking someone on a date who is extremely successful.

Then it goes so "well" that you get married and then you take half their stuff in a divorce.
