Isn't Monk Mode just a buffer against rejection at the end of the day?

For some people, trying to drastically change their life in every direction at once can be challenging. Typically they have been hurt by some woman previously in their life. They were living to make another woman happy. Monk Mode can allow them to learn to focus on their own happiness, and get into a better mental spot.

Men who are already in a good spot, ready for TRP, there is no need for Monk Mode.

Monk mode is for when you step back after slaying pussy for a few years and realize life is more important than women.

Don't monk before slaying pussy

Monk is cool if you use it as intended and not as a excuse to be a pussy. Aot of people say they're are monk but don't do shit and say it monk mode. Only use it for a few months.

Another issue is people claiming to be mgtow but the reality is they are bitter pussies scared off rejection so they don't try. It's the adult version of a kid saying "you can't reject me if I reject you first!"

The intention of monk mode is to help someone who's a newbie or relative newbie keep from being overwhelmed by the number of different things they're working on. The idea is that you focus on a few things (ie: lifting, sleep schedule, dressing better) and ignore the rest of it (ie: approaching and game) for a period of time.

Once those things you've worked on become automatic, which should usually only take 1-3 months (imo) depending on the case, then you add in more things to work on (ie: approaching and game).

Yeah, monk mode is hiding. Do what you said - improve your game (don't worry about getting laid - just practice, getting laid follows), work on your fitness, etc.

If you go monk mode, you actually do forget how to talk to girls. You have to keep up the practice.

it's taking holidays to come back to the game of life with more motivation and weapons

If you are trying to figure out what is wrong with the engine of a car and you're under the hood fiddling with things, is it a good idea for someone to get behind the wheel and start trying to drive?

Monk mode is about getting your shit together, breaking old habits, and learning new ones. Going out and trying to slay tail while you're in the early stages is just going to cause all sorts of fuck ups and possibly destroy your reputation.

IMHO, the key to life to become your best self. That will require complete, one-dimensional commitment to your most important goal.

Women will enter and exit during that timespan. I look at "monk-mode" as a way to ensure your greater, longer-term goals aren't diverted towards nothing because of fleeting feelings.

I don't ascribe to strict "monk-mode" or "MGTOW," period. Life necessitates relationships (family, friends, romantic, workplace, etc.). Nonetheless, the fundamental aspect of "monk-mode" in my - for what it's worth, poor TRP interpretation - is to not be sidetracked when your long-term may be influenced by outside forces, regardless of what they.

My - perhaps heretical - 2 cents.
