When should one go into monk mode?

Could you elaborate as to why you'd think its to maslows theory?

I'd say, monk mode every 3 months. We need that constant reminder and change and discipline in life. Sometimes we fall off the gym, the diet, the money saving, the ball thirsting shit... I do it every 2-4 months and the rewards are spectacular...I come out everytime a newer, better, stronger and faster me.

Whenever you feel your SMV is not high enough compared to the girls you feel you want.

Social interaction should be fulfilling for you. If it brings you nothing but frustration or if it feels like a chore, then step away for a while.

I can barely take you seriously, but I don't know you. Maybe you're a very successful guy that likes to fuck around with whatever the hell drugs.

All I can tell by your post is you're a loser taking drugs and wondering why girls don't like him.

You should go monk mode now. Whatever goals you have should be pursued. Don't mistake monk mode for an excuse to be lazy.

Whenever you feel you plateau/stagnate at your social opportunities (aka now that you're fed up with the people around you), great time to focus on yourself and going with the flow instead of going out of your way to arrange meetings.

Yeah, monk mode is what I'm going to do. But when should a person go monk mode?

Monk mode is stupid. You should always optimize what you can do with your time alone and always optimize future opportunities with social connections - this means never go all-social or monk-mode.

To do either is overly simplistic and hurts your progress in life. You're missing opportunities both ways that will never return.

Sounds like you need better social contacts rather than cutting social time. Also if you haven't picked up a useful hobby that translates into real learning, real enjoyment of life or a future work-skill that's where alone-time (not monkmode) will be helpful.
