Side Effects of Going Monk

[SpleeferParticipant 965]

I’ve been full monk mode almost a year now. Here are some interesting side effects.

1. More money in the bank account. I figured that I would save money, but I had no idea I would save this much. My savings account is overflowing and I paid cash for 2 projects around my house.

2. More confidence in my abilities to live life alone. With each challenge presented this year, I was able to rise above the noise and execute plans I created. I didn’t need a woman’s touch. I didn’t need a woman’s opinion. I didn’t need a woman’s approval. Hard work and never quitting is much better than involving a woman to a problem.

3. Health and wellness are awesome! Overall I’m 20lbs lighter, running further distances, no back pain, diet is strong, hardly even touch alcohol, and never use tobacco.

4. I hardly go to the movies and don’t really watch them at home. This one I don’t quite understand if there is a correlation or not. I use to go to the movies once every 2 weeks sometimes every week. I would go alone not just with a date. In the last year I have only gone twice and that was with my daughter. I hardly watch movies at home either, weird.

5. My faith in Jesus Christ is much stronger, but my faith in the church is much less. Mgtow brothers warned me this would happen and it has. My pastor and leaders at my church are great, I just can’t stand the constant pressure to get back to the plantation by the members. I enjoy the sermons and they are right in line with mgtow and my life, so I keep going because I’m learning. The couples and the women are nauseating at best. I don’t see this lasting much more, but i don’t see an alternative.

6. Optimistic about the future. I am excited about what’s next. I have the freedom to plan and execute my future. I have an excellent track record for doing this well. What’s not to be excited about?

7. Can’t talk to women now. I don’t want to talk to them, they have nothing to offer the conversation. The last intelligent conversation I had with a woman was when….. I can’t remember. I’m monk there really isn’t any point. If my personality shows at all, then they want my number to get coffee. I don’t give my number, so then that’s that.

8. I didn’t trust women prior to monk, now I don’t give them an inch. Here are the stats on my short time monk. Straight up 8 offers for sex from married women, 20 plus green lights from other married women, licked, ass grabbed, b~~~~ grabbed, ass smacked multiple times from multiple married women in some weird places. Multiply those numbers by 5 for non married women. I ran for my life this past year.

9. I’m writing much more. I think it’s because I don’t need to put in 4-10 hours of texting to get sex on the weekend. Now I can write my ideas out, good,bad, or crazy.

10. I don’t say I’m sorry much anymore and I notice how much these husbands say it to their wives (masters). Bottom line is I’m acting less like a mangina and more like a man. I changed my diet to have no estrogen (soy) and eat high testosterone foods. I sit with my legs spread. I spit outside whenever I want. I go camping with way less s~~~, got my backpack and that’s it. Didn’t buy any guns but I’m saving. I noticed at work I don’t get involved with drama, I just work harder.

So if your thinking about going monk, this might happen to you.

Peace out,

Indifference to things and people’s thinking/actions outside one’s influence is the key to monk.

Women cultivate male thirst in form of attention to have an improved sense of self-worth.

Monks cultivate their own energy to improve their sense of being.

Living the dream, Spleefer! This is awesome to hear, thanks for the report.

I’ve been monk for nearly 2 years now and have had very similar experiences. On some of your specific points, as I think it’s fun to compare notes:

1. Same. I literally have more cash than I need. My house is paid off, I live frugally, I have savings that would last years if I stopped working, and I am able to get more fussy about the jobs I take on (I’m freelance so I can do as much or as little as I like).

2. Same. I love making my own decisions and I honestly can’t think of an area of my life which would be improved by a woman. I’ve been redecorating my house and I’m enjoying making interior design decisions. I love cooking and have been experimenting more recently. I enjoy cleaning my house every Saturday, doesn’t take long and looks great at the end.

3. Same. I swim a lot, I didn’t really exercise at all when I was married. My ex used to send me off to the gym and I used to bunk off and have a bit of peace and quiet and a drink lol because it was the only time I got a break from the bats~~~ crazy. Now I actually enjoy it.

4. Interesting, I’m similar here–I’ve almost completely lost interest in movies. I read more, spend a lot more time reading about current affairs and watching podcasts.

5. I get this. My faith is a bit of a mess but I think there’s a big gap between organised Christianity and the Christian faith–I never really liked churches much, and the social conformity they generate. I recommend taking inspiration from the ancient Christian monastic practices: learn about the different monastic traditions. You’re continuing that tradition in your own way.

I’m curious, do you miss sex? I don’t in the sense that I don’t miss sticking my dick in a vagina, and I don’t miss all the hassle and stress of dating. If there’s one thing I miss, it’s showing affection for someone, but you can’t have everything in life, and no point p~~~ing affection away on someone who doesn’t appreciate it. At least you have a daughter you can love.

There aren't holes in your pockets. It's called marriage.

Great idea on reading about the history of the church and continuing some of the monastic traditions. I don’t know much about it, so that will be great reading tonight! I really appreciate that idea.

I don’t miss married sex or relationship sex because it never meant anything to these women. I don’t miss the game.
Honestly, I miss Tijuana and Manila lol. I miss going out and raging party for the night, with super hot chicks that wanted to have fun. I miss the fun and honesty of whores. The best nights I’ve ever had were with whores. They cared for me, massaged me, respected me, treated me honestly. Then they went home.

The problem is I am a Christian man, I was real broken inside when I did those things. You can’t play with fire without getting burned. I got out with no issues. I got right with God this past year and have chosen to not rage out in Party towns. But if I ever need to pull the rip cord, il go to TJ for a weekend. It’s way better than a relations~~~ with a closet whore.

Not exactly Monk yet in the sense that it hasn’t been a conscious decision however I haven’t felt a need to visit a brothel for quite some time and I haven’t pursued women for ages. There is nothing about women that entices me at all.

I would equate talking to women like eating a bag full of marshmallows when you are hungry. In the end you will end up sick and tired but still hungry.

No problem bro! I would look up the Benedictines, the Carthusians and the Franciscans. They’re each very different, and have very rich histories. Hope you find some inspiration. 🙂

Your party days sounds quite something. I never really did that–married young and then have had such an aversion to women since I divorced. I always imagined sex with prostitutes would be kind of soulless but the idea that they cared for you…nice…anyway, glad you’re happy with how you’re doing now.

Congratulations! Simplifying your life produces tremendous benefits. It has for me too.

We just don't realize life's most significant events while they're happening. Back then, I thought, "Well, there'll be other days". I didn't realize that that was the only day. - "Moonlight" Graham

Amazing what you can get done without a woman around. Been mostly monk for a year and have not considered dating since the wife and I split over two years ago. Work and raising two kids (my wife doesn’t have the energy to watch the kids a true 50/50 yet pfft) and I still have time to watch movies. I don’t know when I’ll unshackle myself from that alimony and the constant chirping for more from the ex but I can imagine the day. Just not having her in my space daily has improved the quality of my life so much.
Good on you man for living the MGTOW lifestyle.

Everyday above ground is a good one. Everyday above ground while single...better still.

Where do you hang out at to get all this attention?

No kidding, most of those are from the grocery store and bbqs. I guess women get turned on around food. There was more than one at the car wash as well. The last one was at a concert. I’m sure somehow it’s my fault married women are whores.

I can see this maybe happening at a BBQ but a grocery store? Do you dress up or carry around one hundred dollar bills?
