no no Dw3. My position vs GGs formula has always been highlighting especially it no work for pickup in bars and clubs.
I had to search Anti-Dump. Looks pretty good from a quick read.
Re question .Well of course not but an alpha boss guy does let himself explode over some bs. I already know that.
and my answer doesn’t mean GGs formula is correct. I already know the 101 of emotional regulation/ don’t throw tantrums/don’t sweat the small stuff.
My debate is re meaning of Frame, frame control and how that’s actually done. And in the real world. When it’s not always pretty to hold frame with women.
Frame is an important concept around here. Like Glassguy, I'd think you starting your own thread based in your own experience would be great.
As to the important necessity of emotional regulation, that is really not something an intelligent game aware guy is going to debate, but you are....
Emotional regulation is a big component of frame whether you or AI define it that way or not. And emotional regulation is, in fact a simple concept. But simple does not always equate to easy.....
The point Glassguy is making (and that you are demonstrating rather well) is that losing your cool does not benefit you.
This is magnified in interactions with women. No matter what the setting is (nightlife or bar random meet, office, social circle, relationship, marriage, etc) you paint yourself in a bad light when you are not properly emotionally regulated.
In fact it will negatively impact the interaction the very most if it is a random girl at a bar who doesn't know you. Why? Because a random girl with any shred of self esteem has nothing at all invested in you, she doesn't know you, she couldn't care less about you. So you think some PUA verbal jujitsu is going to make her panties drop because you say some magic sentence? Nope.
I cannot count the number of times some guy (who, poor thing, like you) spent too much money on PUA theory/books/drank the PUA KoolAid has approached me. And whenever such guys start in with the canned lines or the negs (only an 11 year old would try to use verbal negs these days).... I simply stop them mid-sentence and politely tell them I am not interested....sometimes they believe, as you do, that I mean to try harder. Um. No. I mean GO AWAY but I prefer not to start off rude....So I stop them mid-sentence once again and I say:
Look. I have been polite and told you I am not interested. If you need me to be a b1tch or call security I can, but I'd rather not. I'm not interested so please leave me alone......
Or if I'm feeling sassy I'll ask them point blank: So how's all this canned pick up stuff working out so far...'cause its not working wth me right now...."
And the eyes pop & the jaw drops. Not kidding.
And men have stormed off mad (no emotional regulation) because they just found out the PUA crap they paid real money for is not frame and does not work. And they try again on some other girl, or girls, get more ticked off, eventually leave, and these are the guys who think frame is calculus. It isn't.
But it is FOR THEM, lol.
We love and believe in what we invest in. All humans are like this. CheekyJames has obviously invested a great deal into PUA theory & books etc. So his ego has a tough time understanding that he's bet on the wrong horse. Hope it works out for him.
So I'd love to see a thread where he can school us on frame.
Most men need to get emotional control under their belt long before they start debating the finer points of frame.
