"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Remote, undiscovered, amazon tribe discovered!

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
"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.
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?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.

"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.
