"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

A lot of threads here, at least from the newbies, are the problem of weak FRAME

What's clear is that we can fake some frames and we can have a lot of situational frames also....

But listen, I think it's fundamental that you have a backup fundamental frame.....

WTF is that? say for example you were arrested tonight.........they hand cuffed your ass and threw you in the car........you know what's going to happen?? You're true frame is going to come out, boy...

.....if you're a b!tch and that's your real inner frame.....guess what? You're going to cry like a b!tch.
....if you have a fake frame and they lock you up.......the little boy is going to come out...

.....if you thing you're a PRINCE and then they throw you in the cell......and you're not a prince.......you're going to be found out.......you're going to cry like a b!tch

However, if You are a PRINCE and you breath and you live like you are a prince. When trouble hits you.......for it will, rest assured..........then that fvcking PRINCE will stay intact

If you don't have a backup FRAME to go to and that FRAME is not real..........gentlemen, what the fvck is going to come out when you are thrown in that cell?

of course, when I talk about CELL it's a metaphor for the problems of life
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

There is no " back up " frame. You are what you know you are. Introspection is key to knowing that.
When life throws you ****, you either deal with it in the best possible way, run away, or as you say "cry like a *****".

Then you simply do not get FRAME.

We are who we are is a cop out. But sometimes it's a find out....

I'm talking about adversity my friend, when your back is thrown to the wall....

You are who you are? Maybe. what about a back up Frame? what if you are who
you are is not handling being thrown against a wall? Got a back up frame that you can
slip into?

David Banner? "You won't like me when I'm angry"

extreme example but surely you get my point?

Yes, dealt with adversity many times. If the situation is severe enough, you will not get through it by pretending to have a certain frame, aka not who you are.
If your inner frame or personality is weak, self improvement is key.

Well don't be a faggot and understand my or our audience .....

 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Giddy, like a fat kid in a cake shop. That's what we don't want, right?

Frame ultimately has to come naturally. I went through many, many years where I had frame but I had to work at it and think about it in order to keep it. It was maturing and growing. Eventually I reached a point where it came naturally.. And from then on I never had to think about it again. It just was. And that's how I am now. I noticed that once I got to this point I got 100x more respect from people, people I know and strangers alike. For me anyway, frame came in parallel with mental toughness. Going through many things in life and getting through them built both frame and mental toughness at the same time.
