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 Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
