Think of frame as a literal frame. Imagine a big frame made of wood then step inside it. Now that’s your frame. Everyone has their own frame made of wood that they’re inside.

Improving your frame is the idea of getting good at making people enter your wooden frame and staying there. How you ask? Your a man that has achieved a lot and you genuinely know that you’re worth a lot so your frame is “I am the best” another girl when interacting with you has the frame” this guy is a loser”

holding frame is when people try to convince you to get into their frame and believe what they believe. If you enter the girl’s frame then you agree that you’re a “loser”. If she gets into YOUR frame then she starts to believe that your “the best”.

How do you hold frame in reality?(you should also check the sidebar)

Remember the the guy and the girl’s example above:

If the girl for example says: “omg your such a loser look at those ugly shoes!”

The guys should for example agree and amplify(a tactic in the sidebar):”I know right? I just traded shoes with a homeless guy! Wanna trade shoes?”

By answering like this, you to take what the girl said as a joke. the girl’s frame was saying that you’re a loser which was not a joke(technically it’s a shit test read the sidebar), but you took what she said as a joke. If she starts laughing at your joke she entered your frame. if she doesn’t then she’s resisting entering your frame because frame is “the idea of making the other person believe what YOU want them to believe”.

guys can’t also try pull you into their frame for example: guy1 claims that he’s the best artist and guy2 says no I am the best artist. Both start debating who is the best artist some even bring out their outwork to compare if guy1 said you’re right your the better artist then guy1 entered guy2’s frame.

The post is long, but the reason it’s long is because I answered how I would answer the question to myself as if I was new to trp. Hopefully it helped you understand. And thank your for reading.
