For the last three weeks i've been taking cold showers instead of hot. I started doing this after reading a few different articles that explained the benefits of these showers. Not sure how credible the research is but apparently taking cold showers regularly is known to provide positive results such as healthier skin faster mucle recovery from exercise and even boosts in testosterone. So far i dig it but havent seen many results other than being less sluggish because it really wakes you up. Anyone else hear about this or do it?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Cold Showers. Benefits?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The science behind the supposed benefits is very shaky at best but if you like it's doing to you, keep doing it

also known as a scottish shower or james bond shower. Yes I have them every other day, start off really nice and hot then BAM ice cold for a few minutes. The changes are not overly noticeable as they are not overly powerful but yes they are there subtle and all.
Along with the skin it is also supposed to help the hair as well, Increase blood flow as well as muscle recovery. you will see a lot of professional athletes and bodybuilders use an ice bath after a strenuous exercise to aid in recovery.
Personally I have them just because you feel so good after one. A scottish shower, a straight razor shave and some decent cologne with some nice threads and I am good to go

There's some research behind it that says that some sort of weight loss can occur by taking cold baths/cold showers.
If you can take it on a daily basis, go for it. For me, I would rather eliminate one unhealthy food per day as that is much easier

You can also put a bucket of water out to get blastingly cold and then bring it into the shower with you and dump it over your head. The russians swear by this and call it body hardening. Maybe they're right. It is said to strengthen the immune system.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
