Does monk mode work?

MM is valuable to people who are insecure about their SMV and experience approach anxiety as a result. Let's say you go to a club and get maybe 1 look from a girl on a good night. Not too good for your confidence. Then you enter MM for 4 months, hit the gym 5 times a week and gain 20lb of muscle. You return to the club and 5 girls give you nice looks. The sudden confidence boost can be just the fuel you need to believe that yes, girls are interested in attention from you and it's OK to go greet them.

It works if you do.

No it doesn't. You become a good-looking social spastic if you cut yourself off socially.

Monk mode is a state where you put your usual non-negotiable important obligations on life support (bare minimum required to maintain) and use the rest of your time to transform unproductive behaviour into productive things to build yourself.

You're not a lump of coal to be mindlessly refined, you're a social animal who needs to go back to basics and figure your shit out.
