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?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
