Frame

Frame is not a thesis to be defended, it's a reality to be lived. A man's frame is his internal sense of who he is, what he stands for and what he will and won't tolerate, and it doesn't require explanation to people who don't live by the same rules.

Holding frame does not mean being boring, cold or overly serious. A man can flirt, tease, lead and stay playful while still being secure and grounded. Losing frame looks like over-explaining, negotiating your standards, or becoming 'too easy to move' emotionally whenever she shifts.

Frame is tested constantly, that's simply how women are wired to check whether your words and actions align. A man with frame doesn't perform strength, he simply doesn't abandon himself when tested.
