Ive been hearing lately alot about the benefits of taking cold showers. Have any of you guys been taking cold showers and how have the results been?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Tried it once. Didn't like the seize of my wiener so never doing that again.
This being said, there has been a lot of research into this and most results came back undecided. Only in cases where the subjects were aware of the purpose of the research did they find cold showers had lot of health benefits, but most serious researchers blame this on a placebo-effect. People were looking for better health because of the showers, so they found it obviously.
My dad took 30 seconds cold showers for over a year. He claims he never felt better, but I think it's psychological. You do something unpleasant for your health, so subconsiously you want it to help, so your body will act like it helps.
My dad also robs his own urine on his scalp because someone told him it helps against hair loss. Don't be like my dad man.. don't do it.

I tried it for about two months. You do feel better, but I think it is the psychological aspects like mo said. I did it along with nofap and i was shining. I still do no fap and thinking about bringing the showers back . I would say you are more focused and open to the world, but I think that's because of the discipline. You keep conquer things you don't like . No big deal but a good start for the day to wake up and already grinding through uncomfortable situations.
NoFap is something every guy should do. Period.
The testosteron building up in your body. The urge to approach women.. the better the sex is when you finally get one into your bed.
Cold showers, nah
No fapping, definitely
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

No fap is good. It needs to be no porn and no fap.
One of the keys to success with no porn and no fap is getting laid on a regular basis.
speed dawg

I can do it in the summer, but not in the winter. F*ck that noise.
I think the cold has more to do with the body going to survival mode, which produces good hormones, including T. If you put yourself in situations where you are challenged, your body will react accordingly, and usually in a favorable way.
A note on the nofap.....I agree with others that you need to be getting laid regularly or this can have a bad effect, you'll turn into an idiot. If you are single, I suggest just fapping with no porn once or twice a week or so.
