Sometimes, “it’s lonely being me”, “no one gets me” that what a lot of people think. The vast majority of the worlds population think they are either better than everyone else because cannot maintain good relationships.

Being an introvert, i know that trying to understand people or trying to find the “perfect one” is like figuring out why flying cars aren’t available. It’s cool to look for that perfect one or trying to be understood by a friend or life companion but we should also remember that as individuals our genetic make-up and behavioural differences- sometimes caused by our environment- deter our ability to be understood and to make good friends and build long lasting relationships.

Remember that the kind of people that come into your life are reflections of yourself in one way or another; it sounds crazy right? That’s what i thought at first, but after some few weeks of looking at my friends and my life i saw a little bit myself in them. Deep down we all know this; there are things in our lives that we want to improve or add to our persona and that friend has that particular trait. Unknowingly we are drawn to them like nail to a magnet.

 Here are some tips to achieving lasting relationships;

1. You must be ready to enter a whole new universe outside your own.
2. Be prepared to leave your comfort zone.
3. Bear in mind that tough times are ahead and unavoidable, you must weather that storm and come out stronger.
4. Know that the world is not your wish granting factory, so you may never get what you wished for in the manner you are expecting.
5. Listen to each other, never let your voice be above your companions’ own.
6. Try to find a common ground in every argument. (Home Base if you will).
7. Most importantly, Pray. Because prayer is the foundation on which every lasting relationship in mounted on.

But Hey!! what do i know, these are just my thoughts. I hope you try them out because it never hurts to try.

Christians all over the world are this weekend marking the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Not to sound too religiius though but hey! try putting aside the chocolate eggs and overt commercialism for one moment and take a deeper look at the historical context and real meaning behind the Easter holiday with new biblical epic A.D.

In line with that, there is a new biblical epic movie premiering this Easter on BET (DSTV).

In the movie, the fateful demise of Jesus makes a massive impact on his disciples, his mother, Mary, and key political and religious leaders of the era, whose entire worlds were completely turned upside down in an instant. 

The growing church brings challenges for disciples Peter and John and Mary Madgalene who are pushed to the limits as they face trials and imprisonments, persecutions and punishments.

Hunted by Temple authorities led by High Priest Caiaphas and Roman soldiers under orders from Pontius Pilate, they try to understand the God-given power granted to them as they transition from the sorrow of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice to the awe-inspiring wonder of the resurrection and beyond.

 In the movie, a talented international cast does great justice to “the greatest story ever told” including  Greta Scaachi (Mother Mary), Juan Pablo Di Pace (Jesus), Richard Coyle (Caiphas), Vincent Regan (Pontius Pilate), Adam Levy (Peter), Emmett J. Scanlan (Saul), Babou Alieu Ceesay (John), Chipo Chung (Mary Magdalene), Cesare Taurasi (Judas), James Callis (Antipas), Joanne Whalley (Claudia, wife of Pilate), and Jodhi May (Leahbi CaiphasCaiphas.

This movie premieres exclusively on BET (DStv Premium, channel 129) on Easter Monday (Monday 6 April) at 8:55PM. According to the producers, the epic drama takes viewers on a spiritual, educational and uplifting journey, starting with the pivotal moment of Jesus’ death and resurrection, and focusing on the later chapters of Biblical history, including the immediate aftermath of the crucifixion.

You might want to sit down and see this one and oh yea!, in addition to the regular “The Passion of Christ”.

Merry Easter People.

Lets use this opportunity to appreciate African beauty, the beauty of the dark lustrous skin. Africa is the world’s second-largest and second-most-populous continent, it have different cultures, languages and people. Beauty on the other hand is a characteristic of a person that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction, beauty is not just viewed from the outward look, its also viewed in character. And African women are beautiful in all aspect, they are very intelligent, ambitious, strong willed and they have good characters and to crown it all they have beautiful body. These African beauties have stood out from other women in the world, lets not argue that. These article is based only on African women because African men are not compared by beauty in a Contemporary African society. In various African cultures men are compared according to what they have, it can be in the form of money, material wealth, lands, Children and a lot more. However, some African women are more beautiful than others, am going to list 10 African countries with jaw dropping African beauties, some may not agree with me because beauty is said to be in the eyes of the beholder, thus this article is aimed at appreciating African beauty and it is not based on favoritism.

10. Ghana

Ghana women are famous for their beautiful ebony skin and nice body shape.

9. Angola:

These African beauties are like the black Brazilians without the plastic surgery. Angolans are 100% naturally beautiful and bootyliousness is their trade mark.

8. South Africa:

South Africa is said to be the rainbow nation, i can’t say why but in my own interpretation, it house people of different colours, there are black South Africans and White South Africans. Their women be it black or white are stunning.

7. Nigeria:

Nigerian women are African Queens, they are famous for their hour glass figure, they are endowed with feminine assets. They also boast of their good cooking skills. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, so surely their women are highly fertile. What else can a man ask for?

 

6. Morocco

Morocco women are just beautiful. At some point, I thought Morocco is not an African country because most of them are white.

5

.Tanzanian:

The country faces a lot of economic and social challenges but still, its women are very gorgeous and breathtaking. they are tall, thin with strong hair. It is sad that their challenges prevent them from exploring their true potential.

4.Somalia:

Somalia is a war zone, but war cannot destroy its beauty. Somalian African beauty are surely a sight to behold. Most of the world’s top models like Iman are Somalian.

 

3. Cape Verde

Cape Verde is home of some of the most beautiful female creatures in Africa. The Creole speaking islanders poses one of the best modeled girls in Africa. Their chocolate skin is definitely one to be reckoned with. They are very tall, a mixture of both European and African color tone.

2.Eritrea:

The State of Eritrea, is a country in the Horn of Africa. This country is blessed with beautiful women, their women look like Ethiopians and some like Somalian but they have lighter complexion.

 

1. Ethiopia:

Ethiopian woman are certainly the most beautiful in Africa. These African beauty have nice facial features, bone structure, skin tone and hair, they are like the african Caucasians. Some say that their beauty results from the mixing of ancient Yemeni people with the Ethiopians. whichever, they are Magnificent.

Black is indeed beautiful.

Apple has released a series of videos that show exactly what the Apple Watch can do, how it will do it and why you might be interested in buying one.

If it seems to be a bit late in the cycle to get something like this out, I agree. Apple’s early marketing around the Watch has focused mainly on its construction, originality and possibilities for customization. That’s not a bad thing at all, but it’s much more suited to a product that’s entering an upgrade cycle. The last few years of iPhone or iPad releases is a good example of this. If you’re going to convince someone they might like to purchase the new one you’re going to highlight differentiating design, color, materials or functionality.

 
For a completely new category of product, Apple had to dig back — all the way to the original iPhone — to remember how to position these things. It’s probably difficult to recall, but the first iPhone was such a radical departure from anything that had come before it that Apple had a ton of explaining to do.

 
The instruction was largely based on the fact that we were moving from buttons to a brand-new interface: multi-touch.

 
So a set of four videos, which will be expanded in the future, that explains very plainly how Apple Watch features work and why you’d want to use them makes a lot of sense. The Watch is also introducing the ‘new’ Digital Crown and Force Touch mechanisms to Apple’s interface lexicon. Those new interaction methods add additional possibility, but also need an introduction that ties them in with explicit actions like sending emoji, checking your calendar or transmitting your heartbeat.

Another thing that is emphasized heavily throughout these videos is how features like glances, Force Touch and the very nature of ‘a watch’ will enable you to interact with apps or messages quickly and get back to what you were doing before. This very, very strong selling point for the Apple Watch has thus far been missing from its marketing — including during both of its on-stage appearances.

 
The Apple Watch was made to help reduce the stress of handling your phone at all times. Isn’t that awesome? That point is made in both straightforward and subtle ways throughout these videos, and I would expect to continue to see it highlighted as Apple gets into the full swing of selling the devices. The long-term possibilities of Apple Watch as a lubricant are another matter entirely — but that’s down the road and there is plenty of time to paint that picture later. For now, the metric is still (or finally, depending on how you look at it) time saved.

I took the pain of bringing you one of such videos below, so enjoy and see if you don’t join the race.

2. Asa

Asa is a sensational artiste and probably the most successful 9ja female artiste of the past 3 years. With Asa it is not just about the vocal ability, but the intangibles she possesses with her music. She is a musician in the true sense of the word.

Empire is an American TV series created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong. It debuted on fox on January 7, 2015. The show is based on an entertainment company ‘Empire’, Hip Hop music and the drama within the founder’s family especially on who takes over the company. There is glitz, bling and family drama.

The main casts in Empire series are:

Terrence Howard as Lucious Lyon, the CEO/founder of Empire entertainment, a hip hop legend and a former drug dealer turned mogul who he and his family are fighting control of a record company. He is the Boss and he is determined to do anything to keep his legacy.

Taraji P. Henson as Cookie Lyon, she is Lucious sassy ex-wife. The mother of his three sons, an ex-con and she is my favorite character. She is a gangsta female who is unafraid to speak her mind and is always in the Height of Fashion. Besides that the chemistry that still exists between her and Luscious is palpable. He loves her for who she is and always was. She never stopped loving him either.

Trai Byers as Andre Lyon, Lucious first son, a smartass but he is bipolar.

Jussie Smollett as Jamal Lyon, he is the family’s black sheep. He is gay but also a talented artiste. Jamal’s character is inspired by creator Lee Daniels’ life.

Bryshere Y. Gray as Hakeem Lyon, he is the fame obsessed youngest son and Lucious’s favorite. He is a really good rapper.

Other guest stars include: Rita Ora, Mary J. Blinge, Juicy J, Snoop Dogg etc.

Empire series received several positive critic reviews, the music is dope and infectious, that is not surprising because Timbaland produced all of the music, the songs are his original tracks. Jamal and Hakeem are sensational, You don’t have to love rap or hip hop to appreciate the music. I have caught myself severally humming some of the track.

The dramatic heft especially Cookie’s drama is awesome and would make you ask for more. Her skills on camera are fantastic, she definitely stole the show. The issues that arise within the Lyon’s family are real. The dynamics are present in most family household from illness, to the struggle that wealth brings, to homosexuality and style. The script, costume and plot are just perfect.

Dave Wiegand stated in The Seattle Times that

“Almost nothing about Empire Series, created by Lee Daniels (The Butler), feels original, but after a few minutes, you will stop caring”.

Empire Series has surpassed The Big Bang Theory as the highest rated scripted program in the 2014-2015 television series. Empire Series have prestige, great music and gifted actors, it is certainly a must watch. Am more of a vampire movie person but, Empire got me hooked, I can’t wait for the next season.

Little did she know she would be living her dream and emerge as the India’s first woman professional surfer.

Malaviya, who co-founded The Shaka Surf Club with school friend Tushar Pathiyan in a small fishing village of Kodi Bengare, some 20 minutes from Manipal, has also initiated change in the lives of the local community through a symbiotic alliance with them.

The club currently offers customized packages to people seeking a getaway or training and provides camps to stay right at the beach while outsourcing the food to local families who get free surfing lessons in return.

Malaviya is part of the industry, little heard of in India and belongs to a growing number of surfing enthusiasts.

The student told the two about ‘surf gurus’ and a ‘surf ashram’, where one could learn surfing besides indulging in a complete ‘ashram experience’.

With almost 7,000 km of relatively unexplored coastline in south of India, Malaviya urged people especially women to take the plunge.

The surfer said her personal experience of growing up in India, where many girls are forced to limit their interaction with boys after reaching puberty, made her want to break the barriers all the more.

“Surfing for me is meditation. As long as I have that sense of peace and satisfaction, that is my purpose in life,” she told a gathering at The Taj Mahal Hotel that included people from all walks of life, including businessmen, naturalists and architects.

As a just-turned father, Chandramowli, said he looks forward to experimenting with outdoor-friendly parenting that can change the way people in India think about travelling with their children.

Dang achieved repute as headmaster and rector of some of India renowned schools, including St Paul’s in Darjeeling, The Army and Air Force Schools and as a teacher of the Doon School.

The ‘Adventure Stories’, that are an initiative of the Taj Safaris, India’s first luxury wildlife travel circuit, in association with The Outdoor Journal and Ibex Expeditions, are a quarterly exchange of stories from the wild and have given many lesser-known explorers a platform to narrate their experiences.

Whats Funderbeam: We help angel investors, consultants, and others discover, track, and analyze over startups at a disruptively low cost. As of April 2015 we have 70,000+ startups and 30,000+ investors in our database. We collect data from a variety of sources and use our own models and algorithms to fill some of the data gaps.

Built with €650k in seed funding, it has launched €39-€99 monthly subscriptions that serve angel investors, prospecting consultants, and bootstrapping startups.

The company has 70,000 startups in its database and is set to close another funding round later this month.

Behind their slick pitches, startups are notoriously opaque.

To make things worse, a quick X-ray of a startup’s health is nearly impossible without convincing founders to open up their books.

“For most angels, consultants, and others, chatting up every interesting startup is humanly impossible. It’d also be a massive waste of founders’ time,” said Funderbeam Founder and CEO Kaidi Ruusalepp.

“So, to find any relevant startup data, people scour the web for bits and pieces and still go home hungry. We think it’s time to retire this hunter-gatherer style of collecting intelligence.”

“Funderbeam brings order, structure and depth to startup analysis. It’s a crucial new tool,” said Andrew Montgomery, Founding Partner at MESA Ventures.

“Startup data is messy. Funderbeam cleans it up and plugs the gaps.”

Funderbeam isn’t the first company to seek startup transparency, admits Villu Arak, one of the company’s four cofounders.

Tees, an Indonesian online marketplace retailing artwork-based merchandise, has secured an undisclosed amount of seed funding from 500 Startups, Singapore-based 8Capita and a group of angel investors.

These include Chintaka Ranatunga, a venture partner in Sparkbox Ventures and Badroni Yuzirman.

The capital from this seed round will fund expansion in Southeast Asia, talent acquisition to expand the team, the expansion of the current product portfolio and the development of mobile applications for Android and iOS.

Launched in 2012 as a marketplace enabling customers and storeowners to customize t-shirts, Tees later expanded to offering customization for 20 other categories, such as posters and phone cases.

Services are free, with Tees claiming to host at least 100,000 crowdsourced designs for sale on its platform.

Gary Lilardi, co-founder of Tees, stated:

“We’re happy to be a part of 8Capita and 500 Startups big family, their world-class mentor network and connections are crucial in helping us achieve our growth targets post investment. The combination of local and regional investors provides us with the necessary funding and guidance to expand our services to neighbouring Southeast Asian markets.”

Her thoughts while going down

Bro, can you guess her thoughts while going down on you? Men, we may think we have the easiest equipment to navigate, but women disagree! Even though they might make going down on us look effortless and natural to them, it’s not. In fact, there are a million things buzzing through their heads. Like this;

Is kissing his tummy weird?

 Is kissing the tummy just supposed to happen when a man goes down on a woman, but not the other way around? Does the man like it too?

Please be groomed

I don’t need my forehead and cheeks being tickled while I do this. It’s already hard enough not to gag, let alone not to giggle.

Is it too intense if I make or avoid eye contact?

Like I’m trying to have some sort of romantic connection before going down on him, or like I’m about to pounce all over his member? Or as if I’m ashamed of what I’m about to do, or disgusted by the guy so I would rather not be reminded who I’m doing this to?

Do I start off slow or fast?

 Maybe he enjoys some light licking and grazing of the lips before I really dive into it, or maybe he’s wondering why I’m wasting his and my time or maybe it seems like I’m just eager to get this over with if I go in strong from the beginning.

I’ll do this on my knees or I could just lie on my side

Oh no, now my knees hurt. I have to try to find subtle, natural times to re-adjust so he isn’t pulled out of the moment thinking I’m in pain.

Wait…what? What was I thinking! This makes no sense. But man…it is nice to rest for a second.

 I get a better angle if I turn upside down

But now, with my vi-jay-jay in his face he might think I’m prompting him to go down on me at the same time and quite frankly, it’s hard to focus while that’s happening.

Is he going to the return the favor?

 I better not do this for ten minutes to get nothing in return!

What is hand and mouth coordination? 

Seriously, everybody talks about it. Is my hand going in the same direction with my mouth.

Was that a moan of pleasure or pain?

 His moans of pleasure sound exactly like his moans of pain. He could either be hating this or loving this.

Are my teeth involved?

 I’ve never, ever known when my teeth were or were not touching his member. Nor do I know if a guy wants a little teeth, or hates that altogether.

I don’t want to swallow

And I have no idea how common it is that a woman actually does swallow. Maybe he’ll think I’m a prude if I don’t. Maybe he’ll be shocked if I do. But seriously—does anyone actually like that outside of porn?

So niggas, don’t be too confident that she is having a great time like you, ladies can think of so many crazy things, that is all for now on her thoughts while going down.

Charge your Apple watch

If you are looking for how to charge your Apple watch without stress, worry no more. There is a sleek way to charge your apple watch and iphone; MiTagg NuDock is here to curb the chief concern people have about the imminent Apple Watch, which is it being another device they have to charge every day. While we’ve gotten used to plugging in our phones, tablets, and laptops when they need topping off, the addition of one more gadget is apparently a hand full.

Of course, one way to reduce the hassle of having that extra device to deal with as you get your gadgets ready for the next day is to make charging all of them a single process.

Some people do this by creating a designated charger space in their home — a kitchen counter, a desk that isn’t used for work very often — and bringing all of their gadgets to that spot to charge at the end of the day

Well, I’ll be getting my Apple watch soon and instead of leaving two wires dangling freely next to my pillow, I’ve decided I’m going to upgrade my spot with a dedicated charger dock that’s currently up for pre-order on Indiegogo.

Pictured above, the MiTagg NuDock is a power station for your phone, watch, an included portable battery, and a third device via a hidden high-power USB port. It’s made from brushed aluminium and will come in the same silver or space grey colors as Apple’s phones and laptops. There’s also a LED lamp with touch-sensitive dimmer controls, which is exactly why I’m getting this for my bedroom.

Unfortunately, it’s not a MFi-certified device, so the Lightning connector isn’t built in. When you first get the station, you have to slide a Lightning cable through the dock to get the charger setup (same thing for the Watch’s charger cable). But once you’ve done that, you can just drop your devices on the stand when it’s time to charge for the day — the dock supports any iPhone case and the Apple Watch’s inductive charging means you won’t need to fiddle with lining up the cable with a tiny micro-USB port as with some Android Wear watches.

In addition to the power station itself, the NuDock comes with the NuKi, a 2,000 mAh portable battery you can carry with you to keep your phone topped off over the course of a long weekend or a day of intense usage. On top of the sheer utility of a keychain battery, it also has some nifty smart features; you can use it to find the keys it’s attached to from an app on your phone, and use a button on the side to control the shutter in your camera app from a distance.

The NuDock is set to ship in July, so you’ll have to go a few months without one after receiving your Apple Watch. The early bird special is going for $129 on Indiegogo, but that will soon go up to $149. If you’re planning to skip the campaign to see feedback on shipping units before buying, MiTagg says the final retail price will be $249.

Lines that show he is not into you

Most ladies are just too desperate to go into relationships that they are blinded by obvious facts that show he is not interested. Here are 9 lines that show he is not into you;

1. I’m still heartbroken

He might be, but a man knows what he wants and he knows that the last thing to tell a girl he’s fallen for, is that he just broke up with someone. Guys are smarter than that. If he’s hurting, but he likes you, he’s not going to tell you about his recent heartbreak. So, if he does pull this line, he is using it to his disadvantage (in terms of getting you to like him.) In other words, he is using it to his advantage.

2. I’m just not looking for a relationship right now

Single life is the best. He’s a one man show. He doesn’t need anybody. Bla…bla…bla… A guy can shout about his love affair with the single life all he wants but, the louder anyone shouts about that, you can bet the deeper their actual desire is for somebody is. Everybody is looking for a relationship. Are you going to tell me that if someone you were madly in love with and who you got perfectly along with walked into your life, you’d say, “I’m just not looking for a relationship right now?” BS! And same goes for a guy. Whether he believes it or not, if he actually liked you, he’d be dating you.

3. I’m just so busy

More on the 9 lines that show he is not into you. Humans simply aren’t this masochistic. Even the busiest person makes sure to slip fun and pleasure in somewhere. It is not in our nature to just avoid something that makes us extremely happy. We are biologically programmed to seek happiness (it’s true…we have that pleasure center that lights up whenever we do something enjoyable for a reason). So, if a man liked you, he’d find time for you. He’d make time for you. It’s in his genes to do so. keep reading… 9 lines that show he is not into you

4. I’m just not a relationship person

Similar to the “I’m not looking for a relationship right now” excuse, but different because this guy is saying he will never want a relationship. And if he says this, you can bet he got burnt. But, again, our drive for pleasure is stronger than our fear of pain. Even a man who’d been cheated on a dozen times couldn’t walk away from a girl he felt gaga for. So, if he pulls this line on you, than clearly his anticipation of being happy with you, is smaller than his fear of being hurt. Translation: he doesn’t like you much.

5. I’m busy with x,y and z but what about two weeks from tomorrow?

Maybe it wouldn’t make perfect sense for him to bring you to his office party, his friend’s birthday or whatever. But, come on: when you like someone, you want them with you everywhere! You don’t feel they are a burden to bring along. You feel they enhance the fun. If a guy likes you, he doesn’t find reasons you shouldn’t accompany him places. He looks for reasons why you should come along! keep reading… 9 lines that show he is not into you

6. Let’s take it slow

Disagree if you will but, I think you either like someone or you don’t. And that means you either want them around, or you don’t. There is no such thing as building feelings at a rate you’re comfortable with. They are either there, and you have to deal with that and accept that. Or they’re not there. If a guy wants to take it slow, that means he wants to like you because on theory you seem good, but he just hasn’t fallen. And he won’t.

7. I’ve had so much on my mind

Like I said in the intro, love is an over-powering feeling that dominates your thoughts. If a man has forgotten to call you, make a date with you or return your text because he’s had “so much on his mind” that means he considers you just one more responsibility! You know that when you like someone, they distract you from everything else going on in your life. And you consider it a joy to just sit and think about them, not a chore. keep reading… 9 lines that show he is not into you

8. I’m focused on my career

It’s all fine and dandy for his career to be an important part of his life, but it shouldn’t be his reason for putting you to the side.

9. I want to have sex with you

If he says this by the first or second date, you should consider yourself to be out of the potential-wife zone. Guys know how to talk to someone they’re taking seriously vs. someone they’re just trying to establish a sexual relationship with.

Ladies, when a guy uses any of these “9 lines that show he is not into you”  just take a hint. Be observant and be keen at listening so you wouldn’t make a mistake. Ciao!

Movies that will make you re-think marriage

A lot of you out there already have doubts about marriage well, below are movies that will make you re-think marriage. I have nothing against marriage but if you remember my post on 10 bitter truths about adult life, you might recall where I wrote that ‘Marriage is sacred, only to those who have never been married’. I haven’t been, but survey and researches have given a lot of knowledge that sends shivers down my spine when I think of it. Now in no particular order, here are movies that will make you re-think marriage;

“Why Did I Get Married”

Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married” followed a group of friends trying to maintain healthy and solid marriages in modern times. The friends, who met back in college, traveled to Colorado for their annual weeklong retreat but when a couple’s infidelity comes to light, the mood shifts and each couple finds themselves examining love, trust, commitment and forgiveness. Perry’s film really explored the emotional impact of what happens after a spouse is unfaithful and how it can rock the very core of the marriage.

“Revolutionary Road”

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet first starred together in ”Titanic” and years later they were reunited onscreen. In 2008’s “Revolutionary Road,” they play married couple Frank and April Wheeler. Wanting a change of pace, April convinces Frank to move to Paris but soon he is offered a promotion, April finds out she’s pregnant and they decide to stay. The marriage is tested when Frank admits that he’s been unfaithful but instead of showing any emotion, April admits the love is gone. An argument ensues and when Frank thinks things are finally going to improve, April gives herself a vacuum abortion and dies.

 
“Blue Valentine”

In “Blue Valentine,” viewers watched how Dean and Cindy fell in love before their marriage crashed and burned. Even though she was pregnant with another man’s baby, Dean decided that Cindy was the woman for him and vowed to raise her baby as his own. But five years into the marriage, the idyllic days of their youth were long gone and the two struggled as working-class parents who had two different goals in life. They tried to salvage their marriage in a last-ditch attempt with a weekend getaway that ended in an argument and was the final nail in the coffin in their marriage.

“Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?”

After watching “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,” who wouldn’t be afraid to get married? The 1967 film starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and their off-screen tumultuous relationship was fodder for gossip magazines. As Martha and George, they were a miserable married couple who played emotional games with each other for fun. One night they invite a young couple over to their place for a nightcap and proceed to hurl drunken barbs at each other in front of company. Martha mercilessly taunts George and criticizes his manhood. Taylor’s portrayal of Martha was so vividly real, she won her second Academy Award for Best Actress.

“War of the Roses”

Marriage can be hard but sometimes making it through a divorce unscathed is even harder. In “War of the Roses,” we saw just how ugly things can get when it’s time to split possessions. Oliver and Barbara Smith met when he was still in a student in law school. They got married, had a family and Oliver eventually worked his way up to a partner at his firm. Over the years, Barbara grew to resent her husband and when she asked for a divorce, things got very ugly. Their marital home, which was an over the top mansion, literally became the battlefield when Oliver and Barbara declared war against each other.

Turn-off for guys

Ladies most times cause the worst turn-off for guys without knowing. Yeah! He is a guy and clearly loves sex but he is also human and has feelings that can be bruised. We are not all about the vi-jay-jay and the pleasure it gives, most times we want to feel special in bed with our partner. These are 8 worst turn-off for guys you can think of;

Make You Feel Like A Necrophile

Now, let me share the first out of the 8 worst turn-off for guys – You pin her down on the bed after a steamy kiss, only to realize she has magically turned into a log of wood. She takes role play too seriously. Only, there is just one role she plays each time – that of a ‘corpse’. Nothing is creepier than making love to a woman so still and silent that you’re almost able to hear the blood flowing inside your body.

Bite

Even the sound of it hurts, right? We hear you. Unfortunately many women do that. And not just to your lips. Excitement is good, but a sharp stapler for a mouth is a little too much to bear. Some women just do not know how to keep their teeth off certain sensitive areas. It’s a little more hard-hitting than even what the strongest of men can take.

Changing their mind mid-way

Nothing can be more annoying than a woman chickening out in bed, it is a great turn-off for guys. To make it worse, some of them express shock over even the thought of having sex – like watching television is what normal people do after getting naked. You keep wondering why this women undressed and let you in bed in the first place if all she had to do was play with your hair.

Go down and laugh

No, no, no. That is definitely the worst that can happen to you. The person who shared this story is still recovering. When he was about to have his first intercourse, his girlfriend squealed out a laugh as soon as he let his buddy out. Why she did that, nobody knows. Needless to say, the intercourse didn’t happen. Hard to believe, but a lot of men have been stabbed on their self-confidence like that.

Fake an Orgasm

Women are known to fake orgasms. What they do not understand is that most of them aren’t award winning actors. Sometimes, they overact. Letting out screams and moans at frequencies only bats can hear already when the thing isn’t even completely in doesn’t make it too hard for the dumbest among men to figure out that it’s as real as Paris Hilton’s assets.

Keep Talking

Conversations are good. But if she brings an Ethan Hawke-Julie Delpy conversation to bed, God save you. There is a reason why those two actors from ‘Before Sunrise’ series are shown walking and not having sex while discussing the many philosophies of life. Because that’s how it is. Some women fail to understand that there is a place and time for conversations. And the place is definitely nowhere between the sheets.

Is it in?

Can anything be more humiliating than your woman asking you, “is it in”? This definitely beats ‘I Love You’ on the list of three words men dread to hear from their girls, it is a major turn-off for guys. Not only is it suggestive of your size being small but also your incapability to satisfy your woman. In a situation like this, you can do little but jump off the balcony. Butt Naked!!!
