Hi RVFers,
I've been on this forum for quite a few months now, decided . Ever since I've come on board, I have not regretted a single moment.
A little bit about me:
I'm 23 years old, Asian living Australia. Notch count is around 15 (can't remember to be exact)
Game, I'd say beginner to intermediate; I can chat idly about things but still have approach anxiety and sometimes not feeling witty enough, etc (but that's a WIP). Aside from online game, I have not put in a lot of effort with real life approaches, have only got lucky a few times.
Prior to entering the manosphere, I've always had a happy-go-lucky attitude towards life. Things would come and go. I'd hook up occasionally but didn't really know "how" I did it. (Maybe it's my relaxed and casual attitude). I came across the manosphere when travelling in SEA when I was looking up night venues to hit up (great suggestions by the way). I didn't really take it seriously until I came back from my trip and was trying to date a girl who had a boyfriend (stupid idea looking back, I had a slight case of oneitis).
Post manosphere, I realised there are so many things I can be more in control of in my life (spanning from women to health to career, etc). I haven't regretted a single moment this year. I think 2016 has honestly been the most transformational year of my life and love the way things are going.
I've soaked up most of the tips RVFers have been giving on the Lifestyle section. I pretty much follow most of the habits suggested religiously on a daily basis. E.g. cold shower, no fap (there are difficult days), HIIT in morning, alternating between Muay Thai/gym every week, read books. Honestly, the manosphere has been eye opening (even beyond the realm of picking up women). My friends and family have all noted the changes and it's been great.
Here's my issue. Since the start of the year, I've moved back with the parents (due to financial reasons). My parents are strict and come from a pretty conservative background, so it's pretty much impossible to bring girls home. As a result, I feel my game has stagnated since I no longer have any drive to approach women since there's no point. I don't even go out at night anymore since there's no point picking up women and no point drinking alcohol either.
The last time I closed a girl in the office bathroom (not a coworker) but it wasn't as great of an experience as I had imagined.![[Image: dodgy.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/dodgy.gif)
My question to you guys now is, what should I focus on going forward? I know that as soon as I have some freedom in terms of living, I will be going out guns blazing. Do you guys think it is "okay" to take a complete break from women and go "MGTOW" for the time being? I know some RVFers stress on the importance of approaching so that your game doesn't atrophy, etc. Interested to hear your thoughts!
Sorry for long post, tried to keep it as short as possible. Cheers guys!
