In the last year I have been on monk mode and achieved the following (in rough order):
Found TRP
Broken up with live in LTR
Come off anti depressant meds
Found a stable job (career was going nowhere whilst in my last LTR)
Lost 4 stone, fittest I have ever been
Taken up 3 new sports and am killing each one
Achieved 1 professional qualification and working towards another
Got a 15k payrise at work
Used hookups on tinder and the occasional escort for sexual release to avoid dry spells. I figured out I only need sexual release once or twice a month to sustain happiness
Dated lots of girls but not even considered entering a relationship
Got my finances in order
Reconnected with a lot of my old mates
Expanded my social circle
The question is, do I just keep going and see how far I can go at winning at life? Can monk mode be sustained forever?
I literally only date girls who I can be certain are DTF to save time, even if that means they are probably 6s or 7s. I have been used to getting in LTRs with 8s and 9s but I am far happier with just the odd bang with a 7 and no stress whatsoever.
I attribute a lot of my success to red pill principles and wanted to say thank you to people who post here.
I guess I just wanted to let you all know what is possible without the huge distraction of a girlfriend which will drain your A) money B) time C) emotional energy
Most of my mates are in LTRs and engaged/getting married. I feel sorry for them.
Thanks for reading.

It doesn't sound like you're on monk mode. Monk mode is when you swear off vices like sex and partying to focus only on self-improvement like working out and studying. You seem to think "monk mode" means "not in an LTR."
Regardless, you've been able to sustain the self-improvement while also pursuing sex and socialization on the side. Sounds like there's no reason to change what you're doing - you're doing TRP the right way. Keep it up.

i thought Monk Mode was a time where in solitude, you focus on your goals.
If improving your game is one of your goals, then yeah, "sex and partying" would be fair game, no?

Perhaps. It's up to each person's interpretation, to some extent.

came here to say the same thing. OP isn't in monk mode. OP is awake to the world and sounds happy for once in his life.
oh and OP -
Fuck - yes. That's exactly what you do.

Do whatever floats your boat, but that ain't no monk mode.

TRP is a toolbox for life. Use it how you see fit. Want to spin a bunch of plates? Go for it! Want to be in control with your next LTR? TRP will show you how. Use TRP to build the life YOU want!

I've thought of this as well. As long as you think it's sustainable and giving all these great benefits, why not stay on monk mode as long as you want?
