Hey everyone I wanted to post my monk mode progress in hopes that I can help other men become more motivated. As of today I have completed 1 year doing monk mode and it is the best decision I have ever made.

About me

I found the red pill thanks to my grandfather. For reference I was born in 89. When my parents broke up my dad went through the grinder that we are all familiar with the divorce court. During this time my grandfather who is still married and never divorce came across tom leykis as he is on the road often. When I entered high school my grandfather would always tell me to listen tom leykis and of course I never did. He would always tell me to listen to him but, unfortunately it wasn't until 26 when I finally listened to tom on youtube. After, I went through the rage and came out of that around 28. During this time I was in a relationship which recently broke down december 2020. At that time I decided to do monk mode for 12 months. Now the results.

The first 3 months.

The first 3 months of monk mode was really easy. Before the break up both me and my ex were over weight. Thanks to my now best friend, he told me about the keto diet. In 90 days I went from 277 to 230. After losing the weight I experienced more attention from women which really helped my confidence. During that time I was also promoted going from 16 to 22 an hour. Not much really happened in the first 3 months other than focusing on my diet and saving to pay off debt.

Month 3 to 6

During this time I began to experience hardship in regards to wanting women. One thing no one talks about is when you lose weight, a man's lobido begins to rise. I felt like I was 18 again having boners almost every morning. This is when I started using escorts again which I am ashamed to admit. During this time I may have spent about 2k on escorts, It felt as if I had a void that escorts were not filling. I also made some bad choices and left my good paying job to go back to retail.(I hate myself for that.)

Month 6 to 9.

Now this is where the magic really started to happen. Back in march I purchased donovan sharpes course. In my opinion it is a great course but not for someone who is truly not ready to date again. In his course he talks about books to read and in July I read No More Mr. Nice Guy and the Book of Pook. I highly recommend both books. No More Mr. Nice Guy really helped me understand why I was so nice. It also helped me understand the relationship with my mother and why I need to fly away from home. (I currently live with my mom, sister, and auntie.) In my past 2 relationships both exes complained about my mom and sons relationship. I now understand what they meant and why I need to leave and fly on my own. The book also helped me not be ashamed of my masculine energy and it is ok to want women. This is were i truly learned why I was using escorts. I wanted a women to want me and to have a real sexual connection which I felt was needed. This is when I started to really slow down on escorts. The benefit I noticed was my social skills greatly improved and talking to women was easy. I became more relaxed, attentive and non creepy. In return I notice more women giving me a positive vibe and more eye to eye contact with a smile I never really noticed before but it felt good. The Book of Pook is great because in a way it teaches how to become alpha naturally. I won’t go too much into detail but one thing I can confirm is the book talks about what happens when you gain weight from weight lifting and getting more attention. When I lost the weight I immediately got more attention from females. As I started to weight lift and gain weight I noticed females who I always thought were out of my league gave me attention. Ladies that were lower in the looks in a way felt as if they could not match with me as if I am higher in the market value. I know it may not make sense to some, but when you see it for yourself you fully understand.

Month 9 to today

As i said before, after leaving my great job I went back to retail like a dumbass. As I work on my mental issues after reading No More Mr. Nice Guy. I had a light bulb moment in october. I realized I was acting like my mom. She would have a great job and then leave it to work a harder job. When it finally hit me I swallowed my pride and called my old job back. I am now back at my old job making 2 dollars more than before. I am now making 24 bucks an hour which is the most I have ever made with weekends off. Today, I am so happy I did the full year. All my mental issues are gone. I am still working on no longer seeing escorts but, I have got down to 1 to 2 times a month. My social skills are much better and I am now being invited to hangouts or people are asking me to hang out with them. Me and my sisters are hanging out every month and I now have a best friend. I will be returning back to school in January and I am currently working on starting a side hustle.

Active on instagram and snapchat. When I post, my friends like and respond. I do the same back.

It is much easier to talk to women. I noticed more positive women attraction than before and eye to eye contact.

What is next?

At this moment I have decided not to do the full 18 month monk mode. I have decided I will reenter the dating market on March 1 or june 1. For now I just wanted to show what 1 year of monk mode can do. With so much negative light on females today I have decided to go against the grain and find out for myself. I know I have low experience with women and I am looking to change that. One day I want to get married and I want 5 kids. With that said, I want to find out on my own if the dating market and women are really that bad. On the next post not sure when, I will post what I am doing to get ready for dating.

Something I noticed happening after reading No More Mr. Nice Guy and working on myself.

After reading the book, I notice I no longer have any negative light against women. Today, I am very optimistic about dating and women. If anything I am excited to get back in the market and learn game. To a point I find myself not trusting the red pill as I once used to. It would be interesting to see if other men found the same thing happened to them.
