Monk vs. Pump-and-Dump

DigitalScetis · 2020-01-26T05:55:14+00:00

Monk is better. But monk is harder.

You need a certain level of self awareness to go monk, and you have to understand yourself enough to avoid the situations that cause temptation. This is key. You look at real monks like the Buddhist monks, or the Benedictines, they know that strength of will alone isn't enough to avoid bad habits. They have to be willing to take active steps to remove themselves from temptation. That's why they rarely leave the monastic grounds, and when they do, they make sure to take special steps to ensure the 'evil spirits' don't tempt them into doom.

For example, if you know that you have a weakness for butts in tight yoga pants, you have to make a commitment to yourself to avoid yoga studios.

Because if you don't, sure as anything, you'll come across some tight-butted thot who just got out of the studio who smiles at you out of the blue, or gives you a little small talk, and your mind will start abandoning everything you know for the sake of your unicorn fantasies.

"Maybe...just maybe, I've got a chance" you'll say. And then you dwell on it. And then, boom, you get oneitis, or you say "gotta start polishing my game and start lifting," or (and this is the worst) you get despondent and say, "Going my own way is such a mistake. I should have gotten that impressive career, invested in Bitcoin, and been more social instead of doing what I'm doing now."

What was the problem here? It wasn't that he was too weak to avoid temptation, it was that he was too unwilling to admit his weakness, and take measures to cut it out of his life. It's what they call "flirting with temptation," and you can't afford to do it. Not until you've matured to a state in your monkhood where you aren't so driven by natural urges.

Pump and dump you are opening yourself up to a harassment case, however oftentimes you need to experience pump and dump to see how insignificant it truly is in order to go full monk mode

Pump and Dump

Pros - still get actual sex, gives slightly more incentive to keep your fitness levels and interpersonal skills up to snuff

Cons - have to put up with some drama, exposure to legal troubles, possibility of knocking some thot up

Monk

Pros - no drama, no legal hassle, no possibility of knocking some thot up, more time, energy and money to invest in other pursuits

Cons - no sex, possibility to devolve from misogyny to misanthropy, not even the illusion of real intimacy (that one is sneaky - it sucks, but not as much as thinking you have the real thing only to be disillusioned in spectacularly painful fashion).

Personally, I prefer to monk. Whether that's the voice of experience or just old age creeping up on me, I can't say, though. I recommend trying both and seeing which is the best for you.

I tried pump-n-dump, you still kinda exposed to sone toxic shit, but if you tolerate it and you have free time, why not. :)

I used to have lovers. But I’m done with all that. I politely decline relationships.

No reason to change. The value is negative numbers now.

MGTOW4all · 2020-01-26T05:09:16+00:00

I agree with the other gentleman. Avoid all sex.

monk you don’t have to listen to their high pitched vocalizations

tjwalker2 · 2020-01-26T05:12:24+00:00

Does it have to be one or the other? Full on monk or constant one nighters. How about you commit yourself to Monk with short periods a couple times a year where you get what you need. The. You get the benefits of both. Not wasting all your time chasing girls and not fully depriving yourself either

You have the risk of std and unwanted pregnancies, you also have to interact with woman more.

GoodMan_Gone · 2020-01-26T11:46:41+00:00

I think pump n dump is part of clown world. And I don't get why men are doing that. You risk everything and what do you gain? 30 seconds of squirt pleasure. You risk STD, unwanted pregnancies (ripped rubber, sperm jacking), you're damaging already very troubled women thus risking #metoo-ed for the rest of your life/ false rape allegations or all before mentioned. All while still being like BP simp chasing pussy and jumping through moron mind game hoops.

I really don't get why men don't have the responsibility not to participate in CW and the CC. If you're that thirsty, just rent a sex worker. Same expenses, guaranteed happy ending and most important: she'll leave.

There's a happy medium. There are women out there who are looking for casual hookups and/or FWB type of arrangments.

If you're down with those (casual hookups and/or FWB type of arrangments) it's a match made in heaven.

Beware of a few things:

it's not for everyone
don't simp out
if things go on for a while she'll either "get the feels" for you or want to transform the arrangement into a relationship; so be ready to recycle every so often

And if you think that what I have outlined is "pump and dump" then she'll also be the one "pumping and dumping" up as we all other plates as well.
