This post like many other topics,, you should follow and try what works for you,, for some ,, it may work to isolate yourself and work on your own progression depending on a bunch of variables ( if you are in shape, where are you financially o emotionally) ,, for others like me I like to progress in conjunction.. because I like having women in my life but I don't sacrifice it for them either and at the same time I work in my improvement in all aspects.. so do what works for you.
