How Men Lose Frame
- Most men lose frame by constantly agreeing and pleasing women, leading to a shift in power to the woman.
- Women are hypergamous and test men’s competence to evaluate them as their best option.
The Power of Saying No
- Say no to things you don’t want to do to maintain your frame and power in a relationship.
- Only do what fits your interests and values, like Cooper's friend Larry does.
Cooper's Dating Story
- Cooper dated a woman whose preferences did not align with his, so he repeatedly said no to engagements.
- This led to a short relationship but preserved his frame and power.
