I didn’t know that the people of Chad were large birds.

Me after 1 Redbull.
I wish more of this super different stuff was around. I find it fascinating but now when I try to get away there’s a subway everywhere
It is interesting to see different cultures
Fuck I’ve been doing it wrong
Pick the quietest one or you’ll never hear the end of it.
I remember reading about them decades ago in national geographic. The emphasis women check is their teeth. So think about how much of their dress, makeup, and actions draw your attention to their face and teeth.
They’re not doing too bad.
I need more footage. This video is too short.
I’m almost certain I saw these same guys at Penn station in Newark.
It’s not far from my attempts at raves.
That’s what I’ve been doing wrong
They remind me of this guy who is supposedly the world’s “fastest” reader

Is this footage sped up or are they just moving fast?
Well if women don’t want them please call me
I would love to know, by their standards, which of these men are succeeding the most at this and which ones are considered the worst.
Sure they can do it, but when I do it I get kicked out of Dennys.
I’d be interested in seeing the reactions from the women, do they stand in a line as well or what are you doing during this?
proper gigachads
As unusual as the ritual is, I can’t take my eyes off the intricate, colorful outfits. I’d love to wear stuff like that without looking like a crazy person.
Women in Chad watching them
Ok but like, black lipstick looks so good on them
Look at this group of Chads
This really is interesting. I think the most surprising part is that, unlike many traditional societies, Wodaabe women have freedom & autonomy in their relationships, and are allowed to choose their husbands.
Chad behavior
Dang I wanted to see the women’s faces they’re pitching woo to
I don’t know exactly what the cultural standards are in Chad, but their skin and facial structure alone is attractive.
Definitely interesting af. I wonder what are the winning features or characteristics the women look for and find attractive? Is it the style of makeup and dress, the facial expressions, the stamina to dance and sing the longest etc?
We learned this from the birbs!
