Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Having a functional sense of reality along having emotional fortitude versus being emotionally clingy to set beliefs.How would you guys compare the term "holding the frame" vs just "being stubborn" or "being obstinate"?
Do you know Pook? Here is a quote from him.Its like people will say, "hold the frame", but most of the time that translate to take decision no matter the outcome.
So if she says "we need to go travel" and you say "no, there will be no travel this week I do have soccer match" and you hold that even if she get upset and then after she become sweet again and you have make up sex.
Is that holding the frame?
Or just being stubborn?
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
No, the key is discernment. Reading people and knowing when to soften your stance when needed.Having a functional sense of reality along having emotional fortitude versus being emotionally clingy to set beliefs.
The key is rationality. In other words, observations and experience is the starting point, followed by conceptualization guided by logic and then formulated into principles. <-- the main components of rational thought and the mechanism of the improvement of one's relationship with reality.
I'm trying to figure out why you would say that. Frame is having a strong sense of context. A really simplified example would be to have complete confidence that 2+2=4, and having the emotional fortitude to express that confidently despite any pressure or pleasure that might divert you away from that conclusion.No, the key is discernment. Reading people and knowing when to soften your stance when needed.
It makes sense.You must have passion for something in life"

You got probably multiple times the experience I have. Im still a beginner currently. All I have is my intuition.It makes sense.
There is a certain, contagious feeling, that you draw to others when you have something that influence you in that way.
It can be being passionate about your soccer club, or about cars, etc.
This is where most bluepilled man are if you think about it.
They are completely into this thing and their life is a reclection of their "childness" about this passion they have.
Its a contagious energy of joy to others.
How does that link with finding difference btw being stubborn or holding frame?
