Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply.Die Hard said:Interesting... I respect him for stepping up and putting her in her place, but at the same time I think he comes off a little weak because he takes her so seriously and actually gets angry at her. It shows that she got to him... I feel like she baited him and got him to lose his temper.
I would've probably just laughed about her behavior and stayed calm, instead of responding so seriously and annoyed.
But hey, I suspect he had a few drinks and it caused him to respond so seriously.
I agree, he handled it pretty well. I just think he could've handled it even BETTER.Zunder said:Personally, I thought he handled it pretty darned well.
The alternative? Well, for starters, he could've kept his voice at a normal volume... If he had said the exact same things, but just in a calm manner, I think he would've come off stronger in that situation.Yes he became slightly aggressive in his tone of voice, but what is the alternative?
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Seriously? I just wrote down a pretty lengthy post where I explained several points to you, but you refuse to address any of those points and just reduce my opinion to "A man can't show his anger anymore by raising his voice"Zunder said:What? A man can't show his anger anymore by raising his voice?
What an idiotic response. Because I didn't reply point by point to, to use your own words, "lengthy post", you go off on me and like a bytch? Harden the fvck up. I didn't "refuse" to address your points, I just couldn't be fvcked addressing them. What a fvcking cry baby.Die Hard said:Seriously?

Wow, my opinion of you just dropped to a low point, man. But whatever... I'm done here.
He did lose control, because he lost control of the frame. He immediately stopped talking about whatever he was talking about, and started talking about what SHE decided they would talk about, about the eye contact.Zunder said:We'll agree to disagree on this one, suffice to say I saw no where that he "lost control" as you put it . What? A man can't show his anger anymore by raising his voice? Frankly by the end of the conversation she was put in her place, dominated, shown up for the silly kunt she was, and she resorted to try to be all "nicey nice".
Ok, using a strict manosphere policy of "the frame" you make some decent points. But jeezuz, do you guys live your life by mansophere bullet points all the time? "Ooh I better not call her out because that means I be addressing her and I might be seen to lose the 'frame'".taiyuu_otoko said:He did lose control, because he lost control of the frame.

When a woman tries to "steal your frame," the best response is not to get angry, not to sulk or walk away, but to just ignore her and keep on talking about whatever you were talking about as if she never said anything.
As soon as you "address her point," even if you "put her in her place," she wins, because she's controlled the "meaning of the conversation" which is the frame.
Don't get me wrong, I love the way Rogan rips on women, but as soon as you let THEM control the TOPIC of the conversation, you've lost the frame.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Well, the idea of "holding the frame" is much older than the "manosphere" (regardless of how gay that name sounds).Zunder said:Ok, using a strict manosphere policy of "the frame" you make some decent points.

I couldn't live like that. Sometimes, as the old cliche goes, a man gotta do what a man gotta do - and I applaud the way he, in my opinion, destroyed her. And in this instance, I say fvck "the frame".
But hey, taiyuu_otoko, its good to muse these opinions and a least you can make 'em without crying like a bytch like the previous poster. Your point's were well made, but I just don't agree with them entirely.
