He's not a monk, he's a fraud marketer.

Depends entirely on your goals and standards.
If you want to master dating attractive women, yes.
How good do you want to be with women? How many women do you want? How hot do you want them to be?

@czar24 Just hatch a plan to live and work in a big city with great nightlife. That really is the foundation to dating success. It is a numbers game.
 

God is unlimited imagination.
Torture is just one of the things that can be imagined. It is not possible that torture cannot be imagined -- since you can imagine it.
In order to be able to imagine an entire universe, torture must also be imaginable.
Torture exists simply because EVERYTHING is imaginable.
What you are really wrestling with is the fact that imagination is unlimited. And yes, that's a hell of a powerful notion. It's the power of God. Is the power of God terrifying to a mortal? Of course! God's power is unlimited and you would rather it be limited. But if it was limited in any way then the universe could not be imagined from nothing.

Oh, this is simple.
The only way to get good with women is to socialize with 1000s of women. Everything else is irrelevant.
If you want to solve this problem you must undertake the pickup journey. That means you start going out consistently every week and talking to hundreds and thousands of women.
I have outlined the entire process in my videos: How To Get Laid - Part 1, 2, and 3.
Re-watch that video series. It really is the answer. It is so comprehensive that there's little else to say.
Don't worry about confidence. Confidence will come naturally as you gain socialization experience. You don't need to do any special tricks or techniques to be confident. Experience IS confidence.
The only way to be visible to women is to socialize with them.
P.S. Sorry about your scooter accident. I fell off my scooter too. Not as bad as you but it still hurt. Scooters are the Devil's vehicle.

Actually that is free speech. Nazis are protected by free speech.
Free speech is disgusting. Which is why it is banned in most parts of the world.
The issue is that people disagree about what genocide is.

I tend to find that kinder people are usually more honest than unkind people.
Unkind people have to engage in all manner of self-deceptions to explain away their unkind behaviors to themselves.

Truth doesn't mean being mean. Meanness is not truthful.
Truth can hurt a lot, but it isn't mean. So make that distinction.
Relationships require an intelligent mix of truth and kindness, and zero meanness.

You underestimate the degree to which people have wacky and biased views no matter how empathetic or spiritual they are. Especially when it comes to political views. There's really no limit to the insane things humans can believe. You will be surprised when your closest friends and family or gurus reveal their weird views.
I don't know anyone on this forum deeply enough to predict all their views.

Notice you are horrified at the idea of undoing the ego-self. That's exactly why I framed it that way. Because who is horrified and why is it so horrifying? Because the ego-self is attached to survival. So, serious spirituality is about unraveling this survival tendency of the self. The reason I frame it so starkly is because otherwise the ego will corrupt spirituality by turning it into spiritual-flavored survival.
I framed it starkly to avoid the issue of ego corrupting spirituality, as it always does.
If the ego is affraid, that good. That means real spirituality is happening. If the ego is comfortable and happy, that means fake spirituality is happening.

God created this dream. And the point of spirituality is that you are sick of dreams and games and wish to wake up.
Yes, it goes against life, so to speak.
The self is an illusory identity. The reason it is being annihilated is to trade the finite self for Infinity.

@Wiz Look at this way: Meditation is designed to kill you. If you like that idea, that's the reason to meditate. Otherwise carry on with your monkey games.
Meditation is for those who are sick of playing games.

Logically, if marriages last less then dating opportunities are higher.
About half the women I dated were divorced. Which means that if their marriages were the life-long kind of the good ol days, then I would not have been able to date them.
Men who complain that dating is harder don't realize that dating is actually easier today than it used to be thanks to the deterioration of life-long marriages. Less marriage means more dating.

@Hardkill That relates to marriage.
People are still as horny as ever and looking for sex and companionship.
As far as life-long commitment goes, of course that has dropped due to having more wealth and more freedom.

This is very different from craving it and not being able to get it.
If you don't want it then there is no problem. But don't kid yourself about not wanting it.
Also, as you get older you might want companshionship more, not less. Depends. It's hard to predict.

It is harder in that too many people live online and don't know how to socialize. That is a real obstacle.
But if you are out socializing it is not harder. The things that attract women have not changed and will not change.

Thousands, if you do pickup.
Your problem is not that you failed to hit on her. Your problem is deeper: that you interact with so few women that you care even a bit about losing that one.
The solution is to change your lifestyle so that you meet 20 new girls like her every week.
Do you think she cares about losing you? No. Why? Because she meets 20 guys like you every week.
The reason you care so much is because your lifestyle puts you in deep scarcity. You should be meeting hundreds of new girls each month.
BTW, this scarcity also makes you very unattractive because you are going to be so needy and clingy even if she dates you.

There is no hate.
Your view on this topic has been compromised from day one.
I have no dog in this race. Never have. I'm just a neutral observer.
If Hitler was still alive he would be taking notes from Netanyahu.

You have to socialize with many other girls.
Never place your hope is some girl who barely even cares you exist.
This is your wake-up call to change your lifestyle to a more social one.
I know the pain, but it comes from a fantasy. You don't need a girl to enjoy life. In fact, you will get sick of that girl and crave freedom. You can be at peace without that girl, but you built up such a potent fantasy of her in your mind that what I say doesn't seem true.
The mind is very powerful at spinning these illusions. The sooner you realize that the happier you will be.
There are a thousand other girls you can have intimacy with. Don't get hung up on her.

Of course the point of true spirituality is to obstruct your survival.
Spirituality makes survival harder. Yes, spirituality makes you not care about living or dying. That is the point.
Humans are survival zombies. Most of the stuff humans do they would not do if they were conscious, including having children, starting businesses, making money, and making art.
You are like Elon Musk asking, "But if I do meditation then why would I need to go to Mars?" The answer is: your idea of going to Mars is stupid. You just don't realize it yet. "But I really need to go to Mars!" Yes, you are stupid enough that perhaps only death can cure you.
The point of meditation is that nothing in life matters but meditation because everything else is a silly dream.
Do normies need meditation? No. It won't work anyway because it is being done too shallowly.

For me going to univerity/buying a course is the perfect blend of being surrounded by people mastering what you want to master, plus being held accountable to some degree.
But more fundamental than that is your inner game. Like, can you get satisfaction out of learning? Can you push away short-term gratifications to make space for a more mature way of appreciating life through learning? Going or not to the university is just part of your own plan. Maybe you need to learn other things before getting the most out of university.

Don't buy the hype.
AI cannot do real programming work. Not even close.
All this AI stuff is shallow and surface level. It doesn't do serious work.
I employ full-time programmers. No AI can replace them. The very idea of replacing a programmer with AI is a joke.

Programming requires such a different mind and personality from rapping that you will probably fail at one or the other if you try to do both.
Do not pursue programming unless you have a very technical mind and love to code.
If you are serious about making music you can major in various kinds of music theory.

This woman is an ex-escort and Madam. She has some unique perspectives on escorting and dating in general, definitely recommend her channel:
In some ways, I feel like seeing a sex worker can actually be more ethical. If you just want sex, now you can get it without having to play many of the manipulative games guys often resort to playing. Just pay and be done.
Also, some of these women make an insane amount of money as an escort. In just a short period of time, they can basically set themselves up for life if they are smart about it. They would likely never make that kind of money otherwise except for marrying into it. So they are securing not only their long-term survival, but also their independence since the money is hers.
But of course, I imagine such work has to take a toll on women as well. To be able to separate sex and intimacy that easily requires a certain kind of mind. Exploitation is also a concern, though there do seem to be some brothels that are run relatively ethically. 
I think the biggest concern for guys is that it just becomes a substitute for non-transactional relationships. In which case you are going to miss out on a lot of real intimacy. These women are essentially professional actresses. They do not have feelings for you.

Easiest predictions ever.
The worst is yet to come.
Trump is an absolute monster.
