depends what you define as monk mode... we all have our individual definitions, mine is no porn and no ejaculation, although the urge still exists from time to time

blissful ignorance is far from bliss

i channel the horniness into exercise and pursuing hobbies, the pent up energy pushes you forward like nothing else

@SFM_2046 family is the worst for doubting your insight, because they see you as inexperienced.

sleep requirements are very individual, you will have to experiment to find what works best for you

when you see what everyone else is dealing with that is an afterthought fbi

haha

cant watch movies anymore, i'm always looking for the propaganda. cant relax enough to enjoy any :/

@Happy Humble Hermit if its from the 70s or 80s, sylvester stallone, arnie and clint eastwood films are ok

if its got romance crap in it it's unwatchable haha

and the protagonist is always saving some broad

fistfull of dollars

Rocky 1 and 4

Pumping iron

lock stock and 2 smoking barrels, snatch

@Reaper not infested with an agenda is why

Dirty Harry

damb good everyone is

just finished my bowl full of veg and feeling clean af

@Reaper damb right, they didnt make it so obvious in trying to force it down your throat like today

i'll donate in future, saving for my full motorbike test at the minute and fixing my learner bike

everyone has been said before whether related to the aforementioned context or not

although i'm not so sure about SJW and trans stuff haha

@Happy Humble Hermit I'll bet you are humbled to say the least... bad dum tss 😉

As time goes on we get better at understanding the speed required to get a point across for the desired effect. This is where our own true understanding of the subject comes into play, when we can understand how others will digest it.

an e-reader is great for living minimalistically, you dont need a massive library to hold all the physical books you want to read

and also great for night time reading with the subtle blue light filter

physical books are better because they are secure in comparison to an online database that may persue "book burning".

gun control is mostly about confiscation of liberty, an unarmed populace is much easier to subdue

i took my engine out of my bike today, feels good baby

getting it back in will be another experience

@°°° It's a 125cc learner bike, it's my second bike. Originally had a cruiser that I swapped for this and both share the same engine. I'm going for my full motorbike test soon, but building up my mechanical knowledge and tool set to be able to repair my own bikes and even take on projects.

@earl it'll keep me busy, I'd go insane otherwise haha

@Gabri buy yourself a crate of 1.5ltr bottles that'll last you a week and drink at least 1 bottle per day

you'll slowly get into the habit of drinking it regularly and buying more when you need to

Being hydrated all the time and being intermittently hydrated it like night and day in terms of cognitive function.

@Gabri when I see my son my ex blags my head and I feel mentally drained. The effects lesson as you have your own goals and aspirations, and realise its your biology trying to fuck you over.

the most important facet of this lifestyle is having hobbies to fill your time and life with meaning, without this previous undesirable thoughts will start to cycle again.

just accept what is happening and move on from it, time is the greatest healer my friend

@Gabri you sound like my dad in that regard, he is always trying to see the good in people, despite being often sorrounded by people who want to hurt him for their own gains.

it can be quite detrimental if you focus on the idealisation of others based on your own merits.

we have all been there at some point. there is a fine line between fantasy and reality. reality is very sobering once you accept that it as it is.

projection of our own ego onto others is very powerful. it comes from our own innate desires to want to control others.

we often down even realise we are doing it because it is that powerful. trying to change a woman is a lost cause. if her immediate family cant do it, neither can you.

the sooner your are able to realise this, the sooner you will be able to move on from it and realise your path

dont^

your older self is trying to latch on because it is much easier to be who you are in the present, than change into someone different.

your ego see's it as an attack on it's own identity. this is a very important time and big changes are about to occur, when you jump over this mental hurdle. trust me when i say this.

self awareness is very important in realising how changes occur within your own mind, especially how your mind establishes feedback loops based on old experiences.

there are certain triggers to look out for and these can present themselves in the form of something simple, things as simple as hunger, sleep deprivation, or, as you mentioned before dehydration.

our minds often attack us as a trigger to changing our detrimental habits. at least that is how i now look at it after a few years of introspection.

that it how I can describe it in its simplest, easiest to understand terms. then again it takes the experience of introspection to be able to truly understand it.

@Gabri Spend some time doing your best to do absolutely nothing. Get inside your head. You will naturally gravitate towards the things that you need to do. When you are stuck for what to do with yourself, d nothing. Your mind will seek out that which it needs.

Out of sheer boredom, your entire being will find its way and the next thing you know, you'll be totally satisfied with what you are doing in the present moment.

@shadowlessnexus +1

as long as you aren't disclosing company information on the public domain, you should be fine.

@Gabri We can all walk through life saying fuck it to whatever barrier we are uncomfortable braking through. That is the way of the woman. As men we take control of our lives and embrace the uncomfort of the barriers. We find ourselves on the other side relishing in the momentary comfort of our stronger selves.

@Gabri maybe you just need to experience more head banging on the wall before you are able to see sense my friend.

A certain amount of pain is necessary for everyone to achieve an understanding in a subject. This is very individual and the pain varies for everyone.

some realise concepts sooner than others

just keep doing what you feel is right and you will get through it

its also very easy to keep talking about the problem instead of doing something about it

@shadowlessnexus I relish in open combat with other robins. I was till their heads are turned then dive bomb them from above. When they are unconscious I forage for their worms with a watchful eye for other robins. I then return hastily to my territory. I have infused my beak with thorns tipped with poison ivy.

wait^

@marvwill testosterone replacement therapy.

@marvwill I am merely making a suggestion, you will have to weigh up the cost to benefits

beard growth is regulated by t levels and genetics

do you have the test results to confirm this?

i self administer my own trt with blood tests

i once had next to no beard growth then took it into my own hands, now I have a full beard with rapid growth

Buy ugl testosterone and get tested regularly

do the research

buy from a reputable source and you'll be fine

or take the plunge and go private if you're concerned about true authenticity.

an aromatase inhibitors prevents that @°°°

how old are you marvill?

if you aint got a beard now then i dont think its ever going to happen mate

and testosterone replacement therapy is a big commitment for something as trivial as beard growth.

i'd suggest making peace with it pal, there are much more important things to focus on my friend.

besides, having a beard comes with a lot of maintenance, from my own personal experience.

i eat 18 x large eggs every day

@Sigma standup recommendations frankie boyle

very dark humour and far from PC as possible

debt takes a hold on you, until you realise the traps

i quit multiple jobs with my ex and told her mother "I aint no slave".

the family always tries to push you towards that which you dont want to do. When youre young you hav e a gut feeling when what youre doing isnt right

She has already planted the seeds, now it is time to find and remove them. It's simply a matter of time.

When I see my son, I find myself on constant defense to his mothers bullshit. Stopping her from trying to plant those seeds again.

Just trying to converse with a woman is agonisingly draining due to lack of intellectual capacity and gossip.

i should rephrase "abundance of gossip".

my grammar is terrible....

but then again since i went mgtow i find myself saying "fuck you, ill do what i want" when someone corrects me, its hilarious.

the good times are nothing but a lie based on manipulation. thank me later.

if she was with someone else before you, which I can most likely guarentee, she had the same times with them most likely, so dont get too attached to it. its all part of their game plan @Gabri

women are empty vessels. they fill themselves with that of which they are taught to emulate. they are very adaptable to the person who will provide them with resources, because they need to be.

if you want to find out her true colors. ask her in depth questions about what she is interested in that is similar to your interests. you will soon find that her knowledge is almost nonexistent apart from a few buzzwords she learned previously, in order to snare her target.

she then capitalizes on your interest and simply mirrors the words and actions that you present to her, increasing the trance she places you under, as she milks your semen with her hole, strengthening the connection even more.

i am in monk mode so its probably pent up sexual energy haha

simply manifesting itself in my words
