shit SMV

and

I'm around a 7

Doesn't match up. Are you sure you're being completely honest with yourself?

Mindful Attraction Plan by Athol Kay and Gorilla Mindset by Mike Cernovich can help you navigate the forest from the trees on this one.

And consider how frame and a lack of defined boundaries are related.

I know well that I'll get complacent and lose out on the amplified focus

This is how I know you haven't connected it. And why cultivating discipline should be an integral part of your efforts. Which is why I suggest those two books.

I consider celibacy in monk mode optional.

If you can get pussy without effort just take it. I'd put in very minimal energy and define what I am willing to do beforehand.

I. E. I would only invest very few texts and a coffee date and then sex should be on the table, or I'd drop her like a hot potato and focus on the important stuff.

Same goes with maintainance. Just a little bit of drama and that bitch is history.

It also helps you with preventing rust in your game.

You're not truly in monk mode if a girl showing the slightest bit of interest throws your whole plan off course. There are a hundred more just like her, you lack abundance mentality.

Hit it if you can, but don't take your eyes off the prize.

Why are you asking us? Based on your responses to below you'd rather justify your own choices than listen to any conflicting input.

You do you bro, the intellect is obviously there, as is the drive, the sondor and humility both seem eclipsed by bias though.

All I can say is jump into it, either do or don't, then come back if your system fails. If it doesn't, then great, double down. The reactions to perspectives which are admittedly questionably informed in the most part, are still a measurement on your willingness to learn.

You came and asked. We didn't force you. No butthurt necessary (on either side) but remember:

You. Sought. Trp. Out. Not the other way around.

What do you want us to say here?

Edit: and I'm still gunning for you. More power to any adopter hell yeah

if you know well what is going to happen then change it. you are your own boss, just stick to your decisions. it's called discipline. start taking cold showers in the morning, that shit is great for discipline.

I think monk mode is a waste of time. You sacrifice so much possible learning by deciding not to expand yourself socially. All of your self improvement skills are practiced in theory in a vacuum and are not tested in real circumstances. You should start testing in real circumstances ASAP.

The fact that you are saying

Shit SMV

I'm around a 7

Shows cognitive dissonance within yourself. Do overcome this, you can't just sit in your room and meditate and lift weights all day. You need to expose yourself to other people and other ideas.
