How to “Steal” the Prize Frame Over Text (Screenshot Examples)
I ran into a situation last night that I know is something a lot of guys struggle with...and that’s what to do when a girl acts like she’s the prize and says things like “you have to earn it” or “you have to impress me”.
So, this is obviously annoying. The two most common responses are
-
Just going with it - the guy will just brush past it thinking that he can won her over in real life. And, things can sometimes play out that way. But, often because you’re going along with her shitty frame she will feel emboldened to flake on you or demand other shit, no bueno
-
Directly challenge her - The guy will say something like “No, you have to impress me”. Unfortunately, this is not that effective because it just creates a confrontational dynamic that leads to blowing out the interaction.
From my experience, the right approach is to actually take her in a different direction and create a “deep” frame. This goes something like “Hey, it’s much better to get to know each other and build chemistry rather then play games”
It’s a frame that she just can’t say no to without coming off as a major piece of shit. I posted screenshots that I think can explain this much better then I could
interesting. I go a diff way. ignore/apathy at first, humor second if shes being stubborn (playfully give her shit and eg make her realize shes being a weirdo), and only lastly do I go the logical route (can be the way you went or even an honest takeaway).
only rarely do I get this issue, I think mostly it happens during escalations where the girls is not fully bought in yet. but if continue to set good frames it usually goes away by itself. im mostly referring to IRL vs text in my post ftr
love the carnival prize line, always hooking us up w good steal-able material
Do you have any optimized texts you like to use when girls say "Maybe, if you're lucky" or "I'd like to see you try" Hard to say without context but just wondering
Joe & I got the "Maybe, if you're lucky" one morning in the group chat.
I experienced something like this before when I was in Bali. Girl completely on her high horse, bragging about surfing so when I asked what else she likes she put on this major prize frame... then when I went against it, it created a confrontational frame and she ended up blocking me. What do you think?

Nope. We never wound up meeting up, but the lesson still applies
