I am aware it is primarily an emotional concept, something akin to being able to maintain your inner emotional state. But there are so many varying...

In psych terms, frame is an often subconscious, mutually acknowledged (by whom? you? your partner? everyone?)

personal narrative under which auspices people will be influenced.

(people will be influenced by kindly guidance??)

One’s capacity for personal decisions, choices for well-being, emotional investments, religious beliefs and political persuasions (amongst many others) are all influenced and biased by the psychological narrative ‘framework’ under which we are most apt to accept as normalcy

(wtf does this chunk mean?)

Look, I'm no genius, in fact I'd be the first to admit I am a total idiot, but I've read several of these long and pretty sounding definitions and they all refer to different things.

Some people say it's emotional control ('maintaining frame'). Some people say it's how you look to other people ('framing yourself'). These are two very different concepts. And then perception (http://krauserpua.com/2011/11/29/the-semiotics-of-frame-control/). Yet others still will comment that it refers to attitude. How can it be all of these things at once?

Surely they influence each other in some way or other but where does the definition stop and where does the elaboration begin? These articles bring all sorts of examples in, which I understand is necessary for illustration purposes but it just clogs up the basic concept more and more.

At this point we might as well say frame is as undefinable concept as god, because nobody can agree on what it is. Which is pretty stupid if we're need to maintain it when we don't even know what we're maintaining.

You view things in a black and white context. There is no such thing as absolutist reality, always remember that. I would recommend you read to expand your thought pattern and knowledge.

Yes that is the obvious solution and one which everyone would recommend. The problem is most people don't hit the gym because they don't know who they are from within, their thought pattern is screwed up and essentially they are not okay with the difficult process of self-improvement. It's hard work and most people even on this glorified forum don't follow it through. They come on TRP and fall into a plateau a couple of years later and give up. There's no such thing as 'giving up' when you want something so bad that you are willing to die in the process.

The first rule of TRP should be to forget about women for a long time and focus on financial independence. Women mess you up and divert your attention when your sole focus should be one hundred percent self-reliance.
