@MufflePuff Sad.

I'm so excited to not give a fuck about women for the next year.

Any tips for doing monk mode right?

I plan on focusing entirely on nutrition, exercise, sleep, programming, reading and blowing off steam with shooting/board games/video games.

are you starting it at some specific time

I am going to go hard in the paint!

Meditate.

Yes, I am starting now.

Any specific resources for meditation?

Oh ... no links.

I'm going extreme in my schedule (0500 wake up, meditate/stretch/yoga, hygiene, work, exercise, code, game/read/chill).

You can DM me.

@machtyn Sounds like a decent plan. I would just keep in mind that any time that you try to quit or avoid something you are picking the hard way. I find it much easier to just look at something from an overall perspective and realize that while something may have some alluring characteristics that you have decided that taken as a whole you just would rather choose differently.

@Lilu Well the only real habit I want to quit/modify is nutrition. I’m pretty solid on everything else. Once I find my “thing” I’ll go balls to the wall and master it.

Not banging for a year doesn’t seem to painful honestly.

Can I upload pictures

Ffs

I've been in monk mode since the first Clinton Administration.........the hardest part is when you "like" or "endear" for a girl you know.....and she doesn't match your values, your likes, where you are going........and you know "deep down" pursing her, or playing "game" with her is going to break your heart in the end.............or derail you......and she goes on with her life.....and those "what if" times can and do 'sting'

Sounds like you guys been together for quite a while.

Oneitis?

After becoming a Christian around the age of 40.............I quit porn (viewing) and quit "strip clubs" too. The sexual dreams came back with a force like I had in my twenties......and interestingly enough.......my creativity, my work ethic, and drive to "be better" came back too. I can't remember when.....must have been when I was leading a Boy Scout Troop.......on a camping trip somewhere in the Sierras here in California..........I just decided that "next time I decide to get involved with a girl...she's a Christian in word and deed....she isn't into "game" or "games" and she likes me for what I have and what I can do.....not an image of what she "expects" me to do.

I've been monk mode for 12 -15 years solid but on and off pretty much my whole life.

It got easier after that. Going monk is hard, and it wasn't my "choice" to. It was the hand that was "dealt" in the end, and after the "whining" I figured I had to play it the best I could. All in....balls deep. What a lucky thing indeed.

Yeah, to be honest those Christian women and actually the Christian religion is cucked now.

Overall yes Dag will agree with you

Sometimes I see women that get flirty with me and my dick wants me to do something about it but my brain knows that nothing even remotely beneficial can come from it so I just walk away.

I was never a ladies man, and I used to get so "jealous" of Chad and his ilk or guys that had this "natural" game........but at my age, I also saw them with STD's, saw them get anally raped in "family court" and their only bragging rights now are "what they WERE at 25"

For me whenever I followed through on attraction I was always disappointed. Best case scenario is that I would bust a nut and feel like it wasn't even worth the calories that I burned. But my experience is probably not normal.

Me? I'm semi-retired...freaking busy.........varried interests...some cool skills, had some cool adventures (and a few more coming up) and I am much happier now at 52 than I was at 35. Much better now

47 here and I agree my life gets better each year. All of my married friends are miserable or at least 90% of them are anyway.

Old MGTOWs? Hell yeah!

(Old is in the mind btw)

Dude.....I'm middle aged, and fully admit......I could not compete with a younger cat sexually or in looks and youth. It's a fact! Sigh.....youth is wasted on the young 😃

just kidding.....a light joke

No it's just refreshing to see older mgtows

Most I met are 18-25

As they should be!

Whats up Gents?

Mind you I'm 18 myself

There is a percentage of GenX men (mid forties to early fifties) that never married, and were MGTOW before there ever was a term.....no, we didn't "invent" this......but there was no where to go.....and for awhile in the 1990's esp....I really thought something was wrong with me
