"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.
Remote, undiscovered, amazon tribe discovered!

"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.

My hope is that they will leave these people be and let them live out their existence undisturbed.

Theyre going to rape them of their resources, just like all governments do to indigenous people.SamePendo said:

I wonder if they were only scared of the aircraft, or would be just as hostile toward any visitors? If they would kill & eat anyone who walked up on them, it makes it seem like less of a big deal that their culture gets wiped out. As ethnocentric as it sounds, there is something to be said for civilization.
I bet there are church missionary groups planning a trip right now; they'll probably be the first outsiders to contact them. A lot of missionary types are convinced that the rapture can't occur until Christianity gets preached everywhere. My high school English teacher is one of them; she's now a preacher and has gone to remote areas of New Zealand, trying to hook up with the natives to preach the word. Thanks to them, there are random Christian churches in the middle of nowhere, New Zealand. Non-religious people will think this is all silly, maybe it is, but religion debate aside, it is at a minimum an excuse for cultures to rub off on each other, mostly us on them. The missionaries will bring candy bars, ipods, cell phones, Marlboros, bic lighters, toilet paper, and 101 other neat things they don't have. I have read about other tribes getting absorbed into mainstream in the rest of South America; one in particular just became welfare bums, because they could not see the point of money and capitalism, and working toward abstract financial goals. They had spent all of their waking hours securing food and shelter; when they wandered into society and the government, another concept they did not understand, gave them free food and shelter, all of their needs were met. They just sat around.

"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.

I think thats cool as sh!t. Theres a whole world out there and yet its hard to believe that there is life out there that is undiscovered to the modernized world and vice versa.
Wow, I never thought I'd see actual pictures of tribesmen who are disconnected from the modern world. You can tell from those pictures that they were genuinely surprised and frightened by the airplane. I mean, this is just very cool. Thanks for posting the article.
Makes you appreciate the vast grand scale of habitable, unexplored land. It's also an interesting glimpse of our evolutionary past since our ancestors lived like this.

Wow, that's pretty surprising. And all this time, I thought how could anyone possibly be disconnected from the outside world.

From the looks of them it seems Mel Gibson got the hairstyle and fashion sense right in Apacolypto.
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
am I the only one that is thinking that maybe I should pack some lighters and a gun and go over there and after I show them that I can make fire with a snap of a finger and kill an animal by just pointing at it that they will make me their god and a ruler and I will be banging all the women in the village? nah... their women are probably ugly as sin.

in that aerial image, wouldn't it be funny if you kept zooming in and then the last zoom-in would show a picture of the natives shooting the arrows into the air?
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
just so suave

Omg thats probably the funniest thing I've read on here for weeks. That would make an amazing reality show.HandyAndy said:

If these tribes ever came into contact with the civilised world, chances are they'd die of diseases which we have all developed immunity from over time. The common cold and diarrhoea can be deadly if one does not have proper immunity. In fact, not too long ago, an un-contacted tribe in Columbia were discovered by civilisation, but 65% of them died of diseases which we think nothing of.
Coming into contact with these people could be deadly for them. Best leave them alone.
