About Monk Mode

I personally think monk mode is just a man's way of hamstering himself into not approaching women.

The ONLY reason I can see why I person would use monk mode is if he is struggling with specific internal issues that would only get worse with external sources ie. women.

Monk mode needs a clear set of goals and a pre-planned end game to be of any use.

Even then, there really is not much that could possibly going on in your life that should ever stop you from gaming women.

It's just a self improvement phase. Everyone is different in terms of how far gone they are or how much work they need to do.

Get healthy, fit

Read TRP principals and real books, not that fiction garbage

Get a decent life, hobbies, job, career

Set goals

Monk Mode, like just about all the jargon around here, doesn't have a solid meaning. For some guys, it's all about giving up vices and focusing on self-improvement. For others, it's about dealing with specific issues free of distraction. For yet others, it's SPECIFICALLY about physical issues (weight loss/muscle gain/etc).

It is, like u-detachedbymarriage said, as an excuse to not approach women. (I can't approach women until I am not-fat, really cut, rich, etc.)

I think that you need a specific goal. (Lose 50 pounds of fat) A plan. (2000 calories a day, cardio 5x, lift 5x) and an end point. (I will be in monk mode 25 weeks. If I have not met that goal by then, I need a new plan.)

By narrowing your focus and ignoring pickup and placing minimal focus on career (NEVER skip leg day to work overtime) and so forth, you are more likely to reach your short and medium term goals.
