So I've been living life on "easy mode" as an American student in Asia, but financial+family reasons are probably gonna result in me going to my hometown for ~1 year.

When I think about the social/sex-life aspect I feel gutted. I started adapting a more RedPill mindset while staying in a foreign country (when I'd left my hometown I'd been in LTRs for like 4 years).

I'm about to go 1) from having my own place in a central area to my parents' suburban house 2) from being a bit "exotic" (and above-average height and above-average dick) to being very normal. 3) From attending a well-known school and doing a professional-sounding internship to having part-time/seasonal jobs 4) From having a big leisure budget (in a cheap city) to being a money-saver (in an expensive city); this impacts the most basic things (from affording daily taxis everywhere to borrowing my parents' cars). 5) from having 300+ acquaintances and a roster of 3-5 plates to virtually zero (no close friends stayed in my hometown, 2 ex girlfriends are useless as social proof; even my parents' circle is shrinking because they're semi-retired and dgaf).

I got discouraged on my last visit home; I stayed 2 weeks and dabbled in Tinder/Bumble but just talked with 3 chubby girls and had 2 flake-out meetings. (that said, they knew I was temporary; and I handled the flakes well so they started following on social media before I left).

The positives are that I'll probably sleep more and drink less; and we have a home gym.

So the one thing I guess I can do is try to carry-over my confidence (maintain the "I am the prize" mentality; continue to act as if I have 3+ plates even though it'll be a dry spell).

I want to be excited my the concept of "monk mode", but I've experienced a 2-month focus-on-work period last year and I really hated not getting laid (don't really feel like I learned anything).

You ever had a daunting reduction in your fuck-ability? How did you make the best of it?

Thanks for sharing your ideas.
