I spoke about this topic within another post earlier last week and was asked by another MGTOW user to make a full post on the subject - this is more than likely only going to be relevant to those MGTOW folk who are religious, or at least open to it - just FYI
We are all familiar with the concept of Monk Mode in the MGTOW community - and while there is a lot to be said about living monk mode in the world - which I am doing as we speak - there are more tangible ways to live actual monk mode. After I was made aware, in brutal fashion, of the truth of female nature, I decided to take some time and go live in a monastery - specifically an Orthodox Christian monastery. There are real benefits to taking monk mode to this level.
- Real separation from the world, and all it's modernist atrocities
- Learning discipline and mastery, even if only to a small degree, over your impulses
- Living among men who are also, though they would not use the acronym, MGTOW themselves. I can not stress how beneficial it was to learn from lifelong single men how to navigate the solo life. I also learned that they are HAPPY as such.
Many Orthodox monasteries in the USA and likely around the world are struggling to find good candidates to be a part of their brotherhood. I really think that the growth of the MGTOW movement and men checking out of the game in general could be a real opportunity for many MGTOW to explore the option of actually being a monk. I have attached a video from CBS about Mt Athos in Greece, which is a small island populated with orthodox christian monasteries. It is, in many ways, the spiritual center of orthodox monasticism and as such thought it would be a good primer on the subject.
I look forward to reading your responses on this topic/. LINK BELOW - each video is only 15 mins long.
