Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[GreekGod22]

My 2 cents on focusing on building money/ wealth vs focusing on getting women.

Shannon is definitely right in the sense that making more money will open up more possibilities with women. I also agree that one can't really excel/ focus in 2 areas at the same time.
I think it depends on what you're willing to sacrifice.  It's great to be ambitious about making more money and making sacrifices towards this purpose. But at what cost? If it costs you exciting memories and life experiences that you miss because you need to focus on work/ business, is it really worth it?
And realistically, most men are not going to make it big financially, to hit the jackpot. So you can make all those sacrifices towards this purpose, but you won't have any guarantee that you're going to make it.

Also, I don't agree with the concept of |monk mode|. I think it's best to pick a goal that is your main focus for the next 6-12months, dedicate a lot of time to it, but also don't completely neglect other areas of your life (dating life). So never completely isolate yourself from women.
It's always a good idea to keep your dating life somewhat active. Going on dates every now and then, having a friends with benefits situation will make you less desperate for sex, and will allow you to better focus on your work/ business.
Never let your social and dating skills get rusty. Plenty of rich men that have bad experiences with women, getting cheated on or divorced because they don't understand female psychology and seduction.

Not realistically doable: building money/ wealth and going out multiple nights per week (to do nightgame, daygame)
Realistically doable: building money/ wealth and having a friend with benefits relationship, going on a date once a week.
