"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.

Extreme temperatures - either hot or cold - can increase metabolic rate by up to 20 percent.

A sauna may increase the number of calories you burn for up to three hours afterwards.

However, any weight loss incurred during the sauna is likely to be water-loss from perspiration, and this weight loss will be regained as soon as you drink fluids.

I've wondered about this also. Is it safe to do all that extra sweating after an already sweaty workout? I would think there would be LOTS of fluids and electrolytes lost.

Saunas are extremely helpful. It helps relieve the lactic acid buildup and cleanse your body of the toxins that get captured in your pores and skin in general. As for the sweating after your "already sweaty workout", keep reading. It is said that the 'optimal' time to use the sauna is 3 hours after you have worked out, and should be used after you have showered. Not sure why the wait, but I can provide a couple articles on Sauna usage if you would like.
 

"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.

Sweat releases some of the toxins in your body, as well as water. So exercise!!

Where I go, if I see a semi naked hottie heading for the sauna, I ditch the workout and grab a towel, so I think it's a good idea.

Sorry, I'm just weak, weak, weak.

Suanas are healthy for you. Case and point. I rather not go into detail, for I have work to do.

Just take my word for it.
 

"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.

That article makes saunas sound pretty good. I never knew how to use one properly before, so I never did. I might give it a try.

Yeah same here. I've been in one a couple times just because I love the heat in there. Never really understood what it did for me.

Not too sure. If the demand is high enough, I might just do a little in depth research and write an article on it.
