"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.
Remote, undiscovered, amazon tribe discovered!

"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.

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.

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.

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?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.

"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.
