they are not as hard as doing the things that most young men are scared of, such as expressing your hopes and fears honestly

The men who are going "monk mode" have probably all tried this and found out the world and most the people in it don't give a shit.

Most have realized it's hopeless to try and get a woman without burning down and rebuilding all of society.
