Not sure why I mentioned this on the red pill, maybe to see if this is the right strategy or not.

After getting nowhere with women (still can only attract overweight girls) after improvement in almost every other of my life, I have decided to go into temporary monk mode for around 6 months.

The main reason is that I am just plain...exhausted at all of this. I know it shouldn't be this hard. As a guy who is extremely fit, well paying job, friends, interesting hobbies etc etc, getting a girl who I am at least sexually attracted too should not be such an insurmountable task. Every time I approach, Every number I get on tinder/okcupid feels like a dead end from the start - I have no motivation to even follow up. my game online has literally turned into "if you are interested text me" after messaging back and forth and after she tells me she DOES want to meet up, because I simply do not have the energy to deal with flakers/poor ROI. and of course, I have not gotten any responses (go figure).

This is not me "giving up", it's me taking a break to re-charge and re-evaluate myself and rid myself of the negative energy and stress the opposite sex brings into my life. I chose 6 months as a time frame because some of the long term goals I have that started a while back end around that time (paying off all my debt, releasing instrumental album, cut down to approx 170 pounds 10% BF after weightlifting)

Monk mode will be simple for me, and will only follow one rule: -Do not invest any time or energy into the opposite sex; the only time where you can invest this energy is if her interest is painfully obvious or meeting with her contributes to one of your long term goals you have.

Example:

-I will not initiate contact with girls at the bar unless I notice something interesting about them that interests me OTHER than them being a girl.

-One of my goals is to try a new restaurant every week (there are a lot of new ones popping up around the area) If I am talking to a girl and she expresses interest in trying it out with me, that is fine.

EDIT: Ok, after reading the responses and reflecting back on my emotionally-charged decision, I have decided to go head on into this and not avoid women for 6 months. I have to recognize it's going to be difficult, and full of rejection after rejection, but hopefully I will come out of it making progress that is meaningful. meaning, no more fucking fatties. oh yeah, I added that as well, I will NOT sleep with a girl who is overweight.
