Monk Mode MGTOWs, how do you do it?

It’s hard if you have no other interests. Ask yourself a few questions.

Is chasing pussy all I am?
Is this all I want to be?
do I need a woman to complete me?

If you answer yes to any of these then you’re not ready for GYOW. You need to develop deep interests in other things. Read, travel, volunteer, study, build, gym, sport, riding. Anything. Good luck. If you do find yourself back on the pussy train make sure you protect yourself. Record consent. Post action text as well. Be careful.

You know it's funny. 6 years ago I decided to do a fast for 30 days just to see if I could do it. No other reason just wanted to instill some self discipline. It's amazing when I tell people I did that, they almost all say I could never do that. The facts are if one person can do something we all can - it comes down to deciding to do it or not to do it.

The funny part about the fasting was after the third day your body adapts and you no longer have a desire to eat. Ended up breaking the fast on day 27 because we were hosting a party and I didnt want the whole party to be about the fast.

Its learning not to give a shit....

Really.... its not that big a thing... some stinky wet hole, with an obnoxious and dishonest woman around it? for the price of a pretty serious yacht?

You'd be better off buying a small airplane.

Cost would be less, less chance of crashing...

I’m 40 and not a complete monk. I enjoy pumping and dumping pretty girls from time to time (only age 18-30 no single moms). But I maintain MGTOW status and long periods of celibacy by having passions to focus on. I work full time and take college classes. I’m my number 1 priority and I am strongly focused on my goals. You have to stop putting pussy on a pedestal- and sex is overrated. Society has everyone brainwashed into a hyper sexual culture. You have to turn off the TV or only watch shows like gunsmoke and leave it to beaver. Stop watching the news. Keep in mind that while you go monk and self improve everyone else is literally fucking their lives away- this gives you a chance to “come up” in life. I did. You can do it too if you focus on YOU.

What ELSE are you doing?

Seriously, if there is an antidote to such addictions (or a "secret sauce" or "recipe/solution" or whatever you want to call it)... THAT is it.

Having something else (and probably SEVERAL something else's) that you are INTENSIVELY focused on, mentally and/or physically & psychologically exerting yourself, channeling your energies into -- we're talking expending significant effort AND time -- to do, to complete, to learn/master, build/create. Do that, focus on it, be occupied with it -- even "preoccupied" with it -- to the exclusion of other ephemera, and then TIME FLIES BY...

And just as you noted... weeks and months can pass with nary more than an idle "thought" about "thots" (or other addictions).

One thing to beware (be wary) of is "convenience" things... quite often we have "convenienced" ourselves -- and here I'm talking about a host of "mundane" things in our daily lives* -- into a state of almost complete idleness, boredom, even ennui. And when we do that, we create a "space" -- a vast "open field" -- for "addictions" to take root and grow.

Old adages about "Idle Hands" -- being the Devil's playground/tools/workshop -- had more than a smattering of wisdom in them.

* So many (ostensibly "time saving") conveniences... like say "fast food" (or indeed any/all restaurant, cafeteria & other "pre-prepared" meals, etc)... the question is: what are you DOING with all that "time" you have supposedly "saved"? Chances are what you've really become is a rather "mindless" consumer... most likely where you "saved time" was in that you DON'T do any "meal planning"; much less planned grocery shopping & larder restocking, etc... the "mindfulness" & "awareness" of LIVING, the FOCUS on handling daily necessities of it... has been handed over to others (you merely select from some pre-limited menu-array of options).

Keep in mind the diatribe here isn't strictly against "fast food" as being fattening or unhealthy in the nutritional sense (that's a separate issue), nor is it about the cost of it in a financial sense (that is yet another, different, separate issue)... no, what I'm talking about here is more of a psychological thing.

Are you even "aware" of what you are eating as you wolf down yet another burger & fries, or bowl of cereal (cinnamon toasted wheat nut crunchies or what-ever), or some breakfast burrito or... well whatever. By contrast how "aware" -- consciously involved with -- his meal (breakfast?) was /u/dix_flatline with his Simple Tomato and egg stir-fry?

It's not that his meal took that much longer to make than hitting the drive thru at MickeyD's... but he DID need to be more "aware" of what he was doing... he couldn't be "zoned out" waiting in the drive-thru- car queue half-listening to some pop/rap song (blue pill shit invariably about women); he had to be "involved" in prepping his meal.

And of course it ISN'T just "fast food"; it's "fast/convenient" entertainment/news, etc -- the television or FaceBook (et al) controls your focus via "feeds" of news/gossip and assorted other shit (and like pop/rap music, GUESS what the focus of that is).

10 years in and it is a day by day process. I basically put my all into my hobbies and career and self improvement. No time to even think about anything else

Discipline. Actively avoiding the oxytocin trap.

I'm trying it right now and I can assure you it gets easier. There's a period of adjustment, but if you refuse chicks a lot it's a quick one. Then you start to think of sex as being a lesser experience than perfecting your skills, understanding and general life philosophy. It's a journey, take it slow. If you falter, that's ok, you can start again. You will be surprised at how quickly that attention shifts.

OLD-TRUCK · 2019-08-26T00:49:55+00:00

Easy, it has always been that way.

Get a doll you will prefer the doll over the real thing

Texian_Fusilier · 2019-08-25T22:28:32+00:00

The quagmire ceiling fan therapy helps. Jk

Post nut clarity. Which people dont bring up as much anymore, favoring nofap, which I dont have the motivation to do right now.

Seriously, goals, projects. Life essentially becomes like a bugthesda game. Numerous open quests, lots of wandering.

Lots of freedom.

Helps to take stock, appreciate what you have, why you have it, and what could've kept you from getting it but didnt, because it wasnt there to stop, you cough👩 my PVS14 for example

I went monk mode for 3 years following a shitty breakup. I was going to military flight school and my reasoning was: I have a very mentally challenging course ahead and I don’t need the distractions that a woman brings. It was an risk assessment to do. I saw guys struggle to pass due to barely studying from constantly being on the phone with their women, constantly having to give them attention, having to go on dates. Shit that distracted them from studying and becoming proficient pilots. I saw my best friend and roommate struggle with his academics due to relationship problems which taught me a valuable lesson: the is no equity in relationships with women. They don’t value the sacrifice of the struggle, they just want you when you’re successful. It didn’t matter that this was the most important course in his life, she didn’t give a fuck because she demanded he sacrifice study time to skype or text her. It’s real easy keeping your dick out of trouble when you have this happening in front of you.

The big take away from me here is set a goal, and determine how going monk will help you achieve it so when you find yourself straying, it’s easier to remind yourself why you did it in the first place and how it’ll pay off in the end. Good luck!

HTC Vive + Pornhub VR 4K Videos.

Not the real thing ... but good enough compared to the risk of the alternative.

I'll admit it was hard in my 20s. Not brgging, but I'm a pretty good looking guy,, had a decent job ut I knew I wanted to be done with women, so I did some extreme thngs:

- Wore nothing but plain T shirts and cheap jeans when not working.

- Bought a very basic model truck, drove it pretty much everywhere.

- Deliberately gained about 20 pounds of fat. This was the hardest thing, but also probably the most effective at putting up a wall betweeen me and the thots. Not for everyone, but it works.

All of this served to create a situation to where, even if I wanted to chase women it was too much effort and they'd generally avoid me.

Once I got older I lost the weight, but kept the truck and the style. Now in my 40s my sex drive has diminished enough that I get by on porn once or twice a week and that's the only time I spend thinking about sex at all.

What’s not easy about it?

Tchapppy · 2019-08-25T23:46:33+00:00

Women very rarely initiate things. Stop trying to get laid and you’ll join the monk mode ranks soon enough. I’ve only had three women throw themselves at me out of the blue and let’s just say they weren’t what you’d call attractive so saying sorry I have a girlfriend was pretty easy on my part.

Meditate, exercise, hobbies and in my earlier days nicotine.
