Paul Cassidy added,
I used it specifically because it denotes an old challenge that singles - according to this paper - are no longer able to meet. Sounds quite right in THAT context.
Wouldn't the insertion of "the heart of" solve the problem?
No, I wanted to hint at some archaic challenge the paper says male singles can no longer meet. The "conquering" stands for the archaic in the challenge, and the resistance they feel unable to overcome. It's from Shakespeare, by the way.
