Where were you when monk mode died?

Focusing on yourself and improving is a thing of the past. Noone does that shit anymore. I remember it being a thing back in the days. But now it is way easier. Just be yourself!

I’m still in Monk mode. Been in it for two years. Here’s the problem: isolation sucks. But it’s necessary. But it’s not an all or nothing thing, it still requires action, otherwise you become a recluse that’s afraid of exposure. So it needs to be phased out. It starts out heavy isolation and self-focus, research, reflection, meditation, and slowly transitions into implementation of active theory and more reflection on that, and then transitions into full action most of the time. It’s a reset, healing phase. The thing about monk mode is that you reflect so you tend to stop pushing ideology because you realize that you really don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, and you may realize that the initial tenets of RP that drew you in are the exact tenets that make it completely unnecessary as a tool as you transition into action. Why? Because I’ve noticed that when I’m trying to consciously implement RP it never works. Why doesn’t it work? Well, probably because women can detect BS a mile away they just either choose to look past it because of high SMV or walk away from your BS. If you’ve implemented RP correctly it becomes a part of you. No conscious control over your words and actions necessary. And then there’s no BS. You’re just completely, truthfully, no BS, high SMV, RP you. Same you, just a more effective potent version. So this is why I’m saying that the tenets of RP become unnecessary, you’ll simply be living the methodology without thinking about it. But it’s good to come back to every once in a while and revisit, but its pretty strange that by fully investing yourself in RP, you realize how you don’t need it anymore because you’ve transformed from a lost boy into an actor and then into an actualized man withouta need to project falsely, because now you ARE. It is when you slip back into BP when the tenets of RP are needed again.

Here’s my problem with monk mode. It makes you an isolationist, which does absolutely nothing for your current Social Market Value. It’s an investment. Sometimes it just doesn’t seem like it. An with isolation comes loneliness, which doesn’t really do much for the incessant neediness that arises from old BP habits when trying to transition into active RP trial and error / dating. Soooo what to do. At some point I think people like myself need to step away from monk mode when it becomes more of a burden than an asset. It’s good for a time, but there is such thing as unnecessary self-inflicted pain that isn’t beneficial, and actually makes you weaker.

Bit of a ramble there. No real direction to this post.

Basically what I’m getting at is that I remember too when monk mode was big. Probably what happened was there were two trajectories for people. The successful monk mode where people built themselves up and moved on from RP, and the ones who never came out of isolation.

For me, my particular life situation has made me stay in isolation longer than most, and not of my own choice. Limited isolation, anyway, considering my personal baseline SMV which is a medium baseline.

PM me if you’re interested in a mentor or at least someone to keep you accountable. I’ve been mentoring people in other areas for a while so you asked the right person.

The idea is still valid, it's just more and more people realize how stupid the term sounds so they stop using it.
