I know a couple of people in my family who legitimately went monk mode. One to a convent, another to a monastery. But they had very strong reasons and convictions for that. They're giving of themselves to a higher power. No problem supporting that, I find it noble.
If you mean avoid relationships with women, I have to ask. What kind of relationships? Even friendships? What would be the reasons behind it? At the end of the day, they can do whatever they want but I personally would want to know if it's for the right reasons and not out of anger or resentment or disillusionment or something like that. Maybe it won't be permanent and a break from romantic relationships is what they need; focus on other things.
Well. Freindships are not a problem but is not something i will actively pursue either. If it happens , it happens...
The reason for decision is that I do not have time for other relationships , rather than my hobbies and or my friends sometimes... When i have time for those.
Also, considering that i was never a '' ladiesman'' , the amount of time or effort to have other kinds of relationship of women is much bigger than some other people which comes naturally... And clearly at this point of my life i do not have that time at my hands or the wish of such effort.
It is... mainly...
" Giving up" has a very negative meaning hasn't it? I am not " giving up" , but I would say that I am not actively pursuing any relationship with any woman in the future.
Yeah for sure,,,,
I don’t think it’s smart but everybody has the right to choose how they want to move.
Could I ask. you why do. you think it is dumb?
I think life would be boring if you did not have somebody to share it with - lovers offer emotional support and give you somebody to live for other than yourself.
Well considering i work at least 12 hours a day and this will probably last almost all my life , my life is far from boring. I hardly have time for my hobbies.

The problem is that the Feminists have created a legal and social environment in which it is too dangerous to speak to a woman, or be in the vicinity of a woman without multiple independent witnesses.
The legal and financial risks that Feminists have imposed upon relationships have put any form of relationship with a female right off the table for a large minority of men who understand the legal situation.
For example, about a year ago a court in Canada ordered a man to pay alimony to a former long-term girlfriend. They had dated and gone on holday together, nothing more.
Then there are false allegations of rape and/or sexual harassment, for which there is a presumption of guilt. When the woman is shown to be a liar, nothing happens to her usually.
Add that a quarter of the adult female population are on prescription psychiatric medications.
Most men, myself included, would like a female partner, but women, as a collective, have made themselves too dangerous to be around.
Not every guy out there can find someone also for guys it's like being tied to a chair and having three guns pointed at us and we get the decision to pull a string to fire one of the guns. One gun is empty and therefore the best one to choose, the other one fires rubber bullets not the worst choice but leaves us in pain and the third one has real bullets and is therefore the worst choice but you'd never know which one to pull.
This is how a lot of guys are viewing female interactions these days, is the female going to be good for you, will she end up just hurting you or will she just completely ruin your life, you'll never know so is it worth the risk? I'd say not but I also don't have to ever worry about it.
How's that any of my business?
Besides, at one time or another, we've all had a bad experience after a bit too much alcohol (possibly just waking up the day after), and sworn "I'm never drinking again!" - and it's lasted about a week. This isn't going to be any different.
Either that or - and this may be the more likely scenario - they just couldn't get a girlfriend to begin with, in which case what difference does it even make?
Well, if we're just talking about not dating, that's fine, but if they were refusing to interact with me at all just because I was a woman, I'd have some problems there, assuming I was one. Actually, even if I wasn't, but those would be different problems.
I meant in a personal level. Not the cashier in a market... That would be nuts !!

Sure. If they wanted to then I would absolutely support them.
If course.
People are fulfilled in different ways. Relationships aren’t the be all and end all.
I think it’s good for anyone who is reliant on a relationship to make them happy to take a break and find other means of fulfilment.
The dating world is rough, so if someone decides it’s not worth it, that’s fair
I don't think people care as much as you think they do. I wouldn't care. I would only think that blocking half of the population for contact is not a smart idea, since you'll miss a lot of experiences and opportunities. But then again it's your life.
Ok. I accept this answer !! I do not block women from ANY contact. Just the the more personal things...
Well I personally was never prone to the experiences I imagine you are referring to.
Also " opportunities". About what? About intimate relationships? As I said i am really indifferent. About economic growth, financially stability and/or proefessional upgrowth? I am talking with women about these matters , those with some expertoce ofc that they can help me.
I am having many women with whom i work with... colleagues and associates. Female friends... maybe? But never female companions. As i said i do not want personal relationships with women.
You are there to support your family and friends decisions. If they are making the wrong decision than give your two cents if they ask about it. But don’t go out of your way to “correct” them.
My mother notoriously pushed me to date and find a girlfriend. She had absolutely zero comprehension of what it’s like being single man. She was very beautiful and met my dad in HS (still married). Her motivation was really more for her own image. She wants to tell her friends and family that I have a girlfriend and/or married vs. my own happiness. That infuriated me. She has no idea that how many times I really stick try to date and just how much rejection I’ve been through (often rude rejection)
She and the rest of my family have finally shut up about this and that’s how I want it. Yes I want to date. Yes I wanted to get married. Yes I want kids. But it’s not like I’m not trying.
This is what happens when people become obsessed with online red pill mgtow garbage and don’t get out in the real world enough. They become intolerant and alienate themselves.
What is this " online red pill mgtow garbage " ? I just made my decision because I love too much my spirituality for seeking casual sex and because I am. too busy for relationships.
I do not go out a lot , I reckon that... but why does this makes me intolerant or a weird dude?
Who said it wasn’t okay to not screw around? Nobody. That is your personal choice. But that’s not what red pill or MGTOW turned out to be about. Stop trying to hide or move on like the rest of us had to.
How am I trying to hide? I move on with my life i think.
Suuuure that’s why you’re anonymous. The very essence of hiding. Omg how oblivious.
Why do you start " ad hominem" arguments? I mean why am I supposed to not be anonymous necessarily? I am in this site for the fun of it... just to watch mostly. Not to he known or anything
😂😂😂
The fact that you can’t and will never find a relationship, means something is wrong. Instead of looking at yourself, you automatically assume it’s someone else’s fault. Sorry you can’t adapt like people who are up to evolutionary standards can. I have qualities I can work on. I’m not so selfish that I blame everyone else in society. Some of it is their fault, some mine. That is how you grow and improve as a person. Now go get help before you go on a shooting spree like so many of you people have.
Though I’d make no such decision for myself I see nothing harmful, illegal, nor sinful with making such a decision. Millions of Catholic priests and monks have made the same decision, albeit for slightly different reasons. A decision of this nature is the choice of the individual and as I see it the right to do so should be respected as there is nothing inherently wrong in choosing to do so.
Yeah , well its his decision , I dont think a clever one.. BUT , its upto him , who am I to tell him who to see? A monks life is tough however :)
I do not think is is!! There are tougher lifes...
And why don't you think it is not a clever one?
I like women too. But as I said I have a different mindset.
I voted no, because for most guys that's not what happiness sounds like. Likely he is just giving up. My situation is similar because I have nearly no interactions with non-related women and don't feel I can date properly since I have no job at the moment. But I love women and certainly want to get married in the future, if I can get past my shyness.
Am I not the first one to say: already there and already living it by choice. Hooray more money to splash on me myself and I 🙂🙂🙂
Well it is more of a necessity for me at this point. But you know... It is for the better.
It is for me for the better. I never wanted offspring (kids) and I feel like a wife would just be a hassle to me even a girlfriend. So why waste their time lol I tell myself so I'm very happy with my choice and very accepting of my choice 😈😋
Besides, one day I'm sure after a lifetime of paying taxes and giving back to the community serving the community, I choose to be a sort of pagan believer spiritual believer in things like reincarnation or the otherworld / afterlife. So I'm very sure I'm pleased with my choice to be single for the rest of my life even if all that was silly thinking because regardless I am single and I choose to remain single :)
Those poor stressed out parents and married couples I pity them and I do not envy them at all. Screaming children, medical bills, education bills, I don't envy that. More money for me hahaha ,😅
Thank god and god-willing. I just try to lead a good life as best I can with what God has given me in abilities. Though I am clumsy as hell. Cya good man :) be good :)
Be a good boy, Asker :) 😋😈🎃🎃 happy Halloween too by the way in advance :) 😈😈👍
Yeah. You to... I see your point and I accept your choice !!
Yes, I would accept his decision.
Women, as a collective, have made themselves toxic in every possible way.
It has become too dangerous to speak to a woman, or be in the vicinity of a woman without independent witnesses.
Here is an example of what happens to men today:
@okeydoke yep, i'ts simply not a good time for men. Most good men I know have stopped dating and are now actively avoiding women.
I still know a few players out there with three tinder accounts giving out STDs like Halloween candy. But these are the typical abusive "alpha male" types that beat women up etc and not anyone I would associate with.
I have a straight male friend who take regular celibacies for himself. I completely support him and would support a friend in a similar situation as the one you describe.
You have to. You might have a discussion with them as to the reason, but they're an adult. It's their decision.
What right do I have to not accept his opinion? I'm not in control of his life. He is, and can do whatever he wants, so long as he doesn't harm people.
Not everyone is cut out for relationships. Why would I care? I basically have 2 cousins like that. Idc. I don't even pay attention. Too busy doing my own thing
I would mind my own business. Funny way of putting it tho lol
Sounds like none of my business but I’d be curious and wanna know why as we all age and will need children to take care of us in our old age.
You have no choice but to accept it, you do not control or own them, or get to make their decisions for them. I guess life sucks when you can’t control what others do or do not.
Can't say I'd recommend it as a lifestyle choice or even a particularly long bout with it, but we do have to make decisions for ourselves
I would accept it; it's his life. He can do whatever he wants
I would support them. Some do not understand or accept it. They will need all the help and support they can get.
Yes their sex life is none of my business so they do what they want.
sure why not, instead i'll support him if thats what he wants
Yes as long as he's not constantly talking about it and make it a personality trait.
Yes, in fact I've been basically practicing that all my life but it was never a conscious choice. However, they better not bring constant drama into this or they're done.
Sure. Not my business what they do.
Anyway, that's about where I am these days.
He's not hurting himself.
It's no one's business what he does if he's not hurting himself.
Hahaha there is no way females would actually support this but apparently the voting yes.
It’s his decision. I’d just want to know why. (Try to be sure it’s what he really wants/needs.)
I basically do that myself, I just don't have a cute name for it. So, sure.
Why does it matter what you think or I think? Be a monk but don’t try to convince me to be one
I would actively support my bro who decided to go "monk mode" because it is compatible with my own ethics.
Yeah why wouldn’t I, I don’t dictate other peoples lives
Good for him long as he's not toxic about it.
I am not.
It’s not your choice…
Whose choice is it?
His choice he decided what he’s going to do and you have no say.
Gosh, they could be gay as well.
I have a lesbian aunt who went monk mode, considering her taste in women it's preferable. Talk about rotten finger...
yes, no problem... everyone has a vocation to get married
*not everyone
Their life to do with as they will, it is not having an adverse effect on anyone else.
Wouldn't that just make you asexual...
No..
Monk mode is incredibly stupid.
Why is that?
I do not hate women. I do that because it is for my best interests.
Yeah, why would I care?
Yes! None of my business.
I'd recommend he does it for life.
Don't think i would care
Well, except on this platform... how do I get a vote? Not my life, right?
Yes, because it's HIS decision.
Yes of course that's his decision
its thier choice they can do what they like
That pretty much describes me
Of course, I encourage it.
Of course.
Who cares
Why not?
Yep..
Of course.
Yes, I would
