One of the guys said, ‘Women are very meticulous and calculating. Just like a cat, you will never suspect them let alone catch them in the act.”

However, no matter how calculating one can be, sometimes karma decides to give you what you deserve. The million dollar question is, what would you do if you caught your partner red-handed cheating on you?

I hit The Gym

As you ponder upon that question, here’s how I found myself listening to one of the most unbelievable yet true story ever.

So, just the other week I went to the gym, after a year or so of not working out. Soon enough, I discovered that I had grown pretty rusty because I could barely jog; let alone lift a few pounds of weights.

Fortunately, it was during the happy hour, which means the crude ‘weights’ section of the gym was packed with heavyweight pumping testosterone high junkies.

Yap, that’s where I hang; and of course, men’s talk was floating around. I got to catch up with some old buddies; comments about how I had added weight and grown soft kept trickling in by the minute.

The Hot Debate

The hot topic was, ‘women are now outdoing men at cheating’. One guy argued that the reason why they don’t get caught is because that they go about it in a smarter and more subtle way than men do?

On the other hand, men are reckless and barely know how to clean up their act. This is why you always hear stories of the cheating husband.

Before we get into the what and the what-not’s of the cheating wife, there are two types of cheating: Emotional cheating and physical cheating.

The Story

As the guys continued preaching the gospel according to themselves like they are relationship experts, a guy starts narrating a story. So this guy, (let’s call him John) told us about the woes a friend of a friend (let’s call him Dick) is going through.

On second thought, let’s scrap those names. Let me give these characters more dignified names because contents of this story (Johns & Dicks getting into the wrong…) may get mixed up with the characters names.

He started by saying,

‘I shouldn’t be telling you this story in the first place but now since you guys have started this topic, F*** it.’

I was like, that’s the spirit bro.

He paused for a moment; I guess he was trying to set his thoughts straight. I had a feeling that he was about to unleash a dirty and an ugly story.

…And ugly and dirty the story was!

Disclaimer!

I understand that the girlfriend caught cheating topic is quite a delicate one and that may evoke extreme negative emotions especially for the victims of such circumstances. However, running away from reality won’t help. So let me help you take the bull by its horns or even better by its balls for vengeance sake (pun intended!).

So the guy (I haven’t decided yet on his Pseudo name) went on…

Picture this; you get home earlier than usual. You find the door unlocked so you don’t bother to knock, you just let yourself in.

I admit this guy was a darn good storyteller; see how he got everyone on the other guy’s shoes in seconds.

He went on,

“To your surprise, you are greeted by your woman’s top on the floor by the door, and her skirt a few meters away. You spot her bra by the staircase and a sexy thong you’ve never seen before on the stairs.”

The first thing that comes to mind is “ooh! She’s decided to give me a naughty and a kinky surprise”. This ‘surprise’ must have excited you because there you go hurrying up the stairs like a starved savage almost missing a step…

The narrator’s words were rudely interrupted by his phone ringing. By this time, everyone in the gym has stopped working out and had their ears trained on the man of the hour.

So we practically eavesdropped on his conversation. He picked the call and said, ‘hey bae’.

I guess he was talking with his wife or girlfriend.

The next word I heard was, ‘right now? …am at the gym!’

Ohh boy! That did sound like this the guy was about to leave when he had just given us the teaser of the story.

So as he ended the call he said, ‘I will be there in 30 minutes.’

To everyone’s relief, he hanged up, he asked, ‘where was I with the story?’

Like a choir, we responded in low eager voices, ‘Where the guy was running up the stairs like a hungry savage.’

At this point, I felt as if I could grab some popcorn because the tension in the room at that moment could be cut with a knife.

The Cheating Wife

…so before you are done with the last step, unsightly distant sounds stop you on your heels. As you now walk slowly towards your bedroom, you can hear a familiar female voice literally, ‘speaking in tongues’.

This gibberish sounds like…‘Make me your b%#ch’… your c*ck is driving me crazy… you taste amazing…f**k me like a slut…I love the way you fill me up…

Your ears start ringing because that sounds like a hardcore porn film, but somehow has the voice of your girlfriend in it.

These sounds are punctuated by loud mourns of pleasure, loud smacks, followed by shrilling screams and low grunts from a man asking the most stupendous question; ‘who’s your daddy?!’

Anyone can guess what the answer was!

The man was numb in shock because the woman he knows never runs her mouth during sex. In fact, when they turn off the lights, get under the sheets and the d**k pops out; she typically gets dumbstruck.

Certainly, it is not out of awe because she can barely see a thing in the dark. So this guy couldn’t get what must have bedeviled his cat-like woman to turn into this savage tigress.

Some idiot blurted out, “a good d**k of course”. Everyone laughed his heart out!

So the guy barged into the room like an angry tiger. It looked like a war zone; it was dark, drinks spilled all over and clothes littered everywhere. There was also a stench of alcohol and marijuana smoke, mixed up with uninviting odors of bodily excretions, from the two ‘creatures’ writhing on the floor in a sexual crescendo.

You should read this: 21 Signs You Are Still A Boy, Not A Man!

The two were too engrossed in the act, that they didn’t even notice the man of the house was in the bedroom.

They only discovered there was an intruder a few seconds after. The two scampered in confusion trying to get dressed.

The only words the cheating wife could master in a panicky voice at that moment were ‘OMG it is not what it looks like bae.’

Those words must have awakened the homeowner’s demons. In a few quick few steps, he grabbed the wife by her hair and shoved her down the stairs. He then went on the intruder with everything he had; from punches, bites kicks, claws…

There are Bad Days and Then There is This Day

Unfortunately, the intruder was not a pushover. In self-defense, the intruder landed well-calculated blows on the homeowner’s face that sent him sprawling on the floor with a bloody nose.

Seeing he wasn’t going to win the fist fight, the homeowner darted to the drawer and grabbed a pair of scissors. His bloody fingers clenched the scissors tightly. He cursed and hissed like a venomous viper about how he is about to butcher the ‘bustard’ that has been screwing his wife in his own house on is favorite mat.

The intruder understood that it was too late talk himself out of this situation. This was going to be a fight to the death!

Before the homeowner could close the distance between them, the intruder quickly grabbed the half empty bottle of wine by the bed. ‘It is the bottle of wine that he had been enjoying with the lady of the house.’

He hurled the bottle directly at the homeowner’s face like a javelin. The homeowner ducked and it missed his head by a whisker and hit the wall. It exploded on impact with glass fragments and contents scattering in all directions.

Instantaneously, the intruder grabbed the two heavy glasses that were by the wine bottle and pelted them on him like missiles.

The first glass missed, but the second one didn’t. It landed right on homeowners left ear and shattered on his head as it hit the skull leaving deep cuts on his ear and his head. Seeing the opportunity, the intruder, disappeared never to be seen again.

Call that inviting the devil into your own house!

Agonized, battered, bleeding and his wife literary F%#*d, he was rushed to the hospital. I wonder what kind of a conversation the man had with his wife after he left the hospital.

In the meantime, the men in the gym were so furious. Some claimed, if they were in the homeowner’s shoes, they would kill the wife, hunt down the intruder; and murder him along with his entire clan just for the kicks.

What would you do if you were in the poor guy’s shoes?

The post Husband Walks in on Cheating Wife in The Act! (based on an ugly true story!) appeared first on theLocco Magazine.

The shaving the pubic hair is an age old practice that is popular for numerous reasons. Some ladies do it for hygiene reasons, others do it for the sex appeal while others do it just because everyone else is doing it. whichever your reasons are, you should probably reconsider glooming down there after you have read the following Reasons You Should Not Shave Your VaJayJay.

The misconception

Research indicates that up to 60% of women shave their pubic hair mainly for hygiene purposes and for the sex appeal.

Also read: Why We Make Foolish Decisions When In Love

So is grooming your pubic hair hygienic? According to the clinical research, the answer is absolutely not! This is a big misconception that may cause you more harm than good.

I will not dispute the sex appeal aspect because this trickles down to the individual level. The mass media is already dictating how we should look, talk, dress, date… it should not come as a surprise to find out that the media is already influencing your vaJayJay’s glooming habits.

Furthermore, how else can a lady wear that sexy lingerie without the unpleasant pubic hair unceremoniously popping out?

Reasons you should not shave your vaJayJay

1. It is a biological sign that you’re “open for business” or ripe for a mate

Since the early years of human evolution, pubic hair served as a visual identifier for maturity and that a person is ready to mate. You can think of the dense bush as a sort of “visual target.”

Picture this— an airline pilot who wants to land at Harrisburg airport will see the big letter “H” on a hill and know he’s near the airport? Similarly, your pubic hair acts at the big letter “H” to signal the ‘landing spot’.

2. The pubic hair is a floral bouquet dipped in pheromones.

Scientists are yet to fully figure out why humans have pubic hair. However, just because they have not yet figured it out, it doesn’t mean that it is useless. Evidence shows that the pubic region has sweat glands that secrete pheromones that not only attract mates but also stimulates your partner’s sexual desire and appeal towards you.

The pubic hairs traps these pheromones giving each woman a unique odor making it a floral bouquet that stimulates your man’s sexual senses driving him nuts over you. Shaving of hairs in this region means that you lack that unique order to stimulate your partner’s raw sense of smell that leads to heightened arousal.

3. Acts as a natural barrier

The pubic hair acts as natural barrier and cushion for the delicate skin around the vaginal area from friction especially from rough clothing such as denim. It also prevents foreign elements such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses and dust from entering the body, thus reducing the risk of infections.

4. Shaving can result to injuries and cause irritation

Shaving of the pubic hair often causes microscopic open wounds that may increase the chances of infections, itching, irritation and scarring. According to Dr Mackay, “the tiny wounds” left by shaving, along with the warm and moist genital area, creates a “happy culture medium” for bacteria to growth.”

5. Increased risk of infections and contracting STD’s

The pubic hair also regulates the amount of moisture in the region thus minimizing the chances of yeast infections and other complications such as vulvar and vaginal infections, lacerations, abscesses, allergic reactions, and inflammation of the hair follicles.

Finally, though pubic hair does not completely prevent contraction of STD’s, it minimizes skin on skin contact thus significantly reducing the risks of infection.

What should I do about it?

It is unfortunate that it always seems that we have to sacrifice all the good things in our life for health reasons. Like ‘don’t eat fries you will grow fat’, ‘don’t take alcohol it will kill you,’ ‘don’t take sugars, you will get diabetes,’… to an extent you feel like you do not need another ‘don’t’ added in your life.

This need not be the case.

The only way around, is to just trim it to the right size; make sure you don’t shave it completely. Furthermore, there are nearly as many “bushdos” as there are hairdos.

I bet you know of the “Landing Strip,” the “Brazilian” the “Hitler Mustache,” the “Bikini Trim,” the “Mohawk,” the “foxy”…

Furthermore, there are nearly as many “bushdos” as there are hairdos.

For those who are clueless of what am talking about, take a look at the following chart to see a cornucopia of stylish ways you can trim your vajayjay.

Confessions of A Hairy Girl

This should be a story for another day, but now that I have mentioned it, I will give you a little taste of it. I am fortunate to have a very privileged life, which means I get to spend a lot of my time thinking and talking about things which aren’t very important.

This is how I got this astounding confession from a lady.

These were her exact words, “I never shave down there and I never do panties, coz I have enough cushion”…

…though am disappointed with the  hair that grows on my head; it is just pathetic… but you should see the hair that grows down there; it is always long, curly, dark and soft. I just wish that the two could trade places…

“…I don’t shave it…I just keep it like a trophy, to remind myself that I have great hair though in the wrong place…”

I bet she’s not alone!

Donald Trump is definitely not happy about this sketch. Here is his reaction on twitter:

The post Alec Baldwin Mocks Donald Trump’s pee pee press conference appeared first on theLocco Magazine.

Being a tech enthusiast I have always perceived Steve Jobs’s life and career as an illustration of successful entrepreneurship that is driven by the illusive ‘X-factor’ that that only a few people in the world process let alone master. If you do a quick search, on the internet, you will see a lengthy list of pundits with claims that they have the true understanding of what made Steve Jobs so different, inspiring and successful.

Am not disputing that these claims are true, however, they mainly entail principles that you and I or anyone else with the desire to become an innovative Guru can adopt and learn from them. Thus, these principles are mainly presented in general terms, and thus barely scratch the surface on revealing the true nature of Steve jobs that made him such a successful entrepreneur.

Now that you have gotten everything into perspective, here are 7 hidden secrets behind, Steve Jobs Success.

1. Advised someone to find a job as a busboy first until he found out he was passionate about.

Besides being the founder of Apple Company Steve Jobs held numerous roles in the company including being one of the most successful marketers of all time. He not only successfully introduced Apple products to the market but also made the public yearn to own the gadgets. An aspect that made him so successful at this is the fact that he loved his job. Loving your job might look like a soft trick but according to Steve Jobs, following your passion can lead to great success.

When Steve Jobs was asked what advice he would offer to young individual who was yearning to become a new entrepreneur; his response was,

“he should first go out and find a job as a busboy or something else until he find’s what he is really passionate about”.

He further mentioned that entrepreneurship is not easy as many people think it is; it needs determination and passion to keep going when things get tough. “You won’t get that excitement to jump over the hurdles unless you find something you’re obsessed with”. So, the best advice is for you to find something that fills your heart with excitement.

2. He was a Ruthless Administrator

From a psychological perspective, Steve Job character or rather personality can be termed as a Jerk. A jerk means a person with an assertive and arrogant nature. To be more precise, Steve possessed a strong assertive personality; he was notably arrogant and had a ‘disagreeable behavior’ which retrospectively brought him success he did not expect. He was not afraid to demand the best out of the people surrounding him, thus the company employees on all levels had to step up their game else, they would be replaced with someone who could do the job better.

3. Perfectionist: Had Little Tolerance for Imperfection

To properly illustrate this, let’s take a look at an incidence that occurred back in 2008, during the launch of Apple’s MobileMe web service which was riddled with a myriad of bugs that led to hacking of customer emails. The launch was such a failure that critics branded it as “MobileMess.”

(Photo credit: Bill David Brooks via Foter.com / CC BY-SA)

Just as you can imagine, Steve did not take it well; he asked a simple question, “Can anyone explain to me like a two year old what MobileMe is supposed to do?” when he got the response, he went ahead and asked, “So why the hell does it not do that, and worst of all you went ahead to launch an incomplete the product?”

And the bashing did not stop there; he reportedly told the team responsible that each and every member of that team should be ashamed of themselves because they had not only let each other down but also had tarnished the reputation of the company.

To cut the story short, Jobs immediately selected a new team to run MobileMe, while most of the team members were sacked with immediate effect.

From the above scenario, it is clear that he did not tolerate negligence even from himself. It is reported that, in almost every product Jobs ever created, he always got to a certain point where he had to hit the pause button, and go back to the drawing board because he felt it wasn’t perfect enough.

4. Operated on High Levels of Secrecy that could match that of CIA

Secrecy has been a critical to the success of the Steve jobs and the Apple company. As a matter of fact, secrecy is a critical ingredient to the success of any individual or business. Just like a military general, Jobs viewed the business environment as a war zone, which required him to not only gather intelligence on what the rest of the competitors within the industry were doing, but also the ability to maintain the organization secrets; in order to have a competitive advantage.

According to fortune magazine, “… This approach has been critical to its success, allowing the company to attack new product categories and grab market share before competitors wake up. It took Apple nearly three years to develop the iPhone in secret; that was a three-year head start on rivals.”

Talking of secrecy, you will be surprised to note that, the company has an elite group called ‘the Top 100’ which was made up of exceptional individuals who meet up in utter secrecy and in undisclosed locations to plan and strategize on critical aspects of the business that signal the company’s future. The meetings are so secretive that the members were neither allowed to drive to the meeting location nor mark the meeting dates on their calendars.

5. A Modern Day Gladiator

Besides the theatrics to the Top 100 events, Jobs met his top executives on frequent basis to discuss important aspects of the projects. Just like military men going for war, there was no excuse for any confusion or room for error after a meeting. A meeting comprised of an action list (of what is to be done) accompanied by a directly responsible individual (DRI) who ensured that the task is completed accordingly.

True to the saying, with much power bestowed, much responsibility is expected; the bar was set higher for the top level employees such as senior managers and vice presidents. It is reportedly that job gave a similar speech to all the incoming top officials that went like this:

“When you’re the janitor, reasons matter, but somewhere between the janitor and the CEO, reasons stop to matter.”

Basically he was telling them that they had no excuses for failure.

6. He Preferred simplicity

This aspect reminds me of an incidence as a first year student in university during a programming lesson. The lecturer had presented us with a somewhat, hard question that none of us could crack. Interesting enough, the lecturer presented us with a simple solution that all of us had ignored.

One of the students complained that the solution was too simple, and the lecturer asked, ‘what’s wrong with the solution being simple?’ The point is, the entire class could not get the answer because, we all imagined that a complex problem needs a complex answer which is not true.

True to the above statement, Steve Jobs loved, simple small, and uncluttered which is a perfect recipe for success. Most organizations prefer to run large companies, rather than profitable companies – large companies give the illusion of profitability which is not necessarily true.

According to Jobs, it is better to run a small profitable company than large organizations that are overstaffed and are chocked with bureaucracy that reduces profitability, productivity and slows down decision making and creativity. Simplicity is not just reflected in the running of the organization, but also in the apple products themselves, their websites and packaging which are built in simple and uncluttered design.

7. Do you want to sell sugar water the rest of your life or to come with me and change the world?

An aspect that made Steve Jobs stand out from the rest of the entrepreneurs it that he was a master negotiator, with killer convincing power. Back, in the 80’s, John Sculley who is an experienced entrepreneur, investor and marketer was the vice-president at PepsiCo. He had successfully made the Pepsi company the top brand in the Cola Wars.

Jobs saw the great potential in John Sculley and he desperately needed him to join Apple inc, to boost the company’s marketing capacity. However, its was not going to be a simple task to lure Sculley out of PepsiCo because, he was at the peak of his career, with an extremely good pay, and was celebrated for transforming the company to an industry leader. Besides that, he would be leaving an established company to settle for a less established one.

Despite these unfavorable odds, Steve Jobs successfully lured Sculley away from Pepsi to Apple Company through his legendary pitch; he asked Sculley:

Do you want to sell sugared water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to come with me and change the world?.

This pitch successfully sealed the deal; Sculley left Pepsi Company and became the chief executive officer of Apple Inc.

Wrap up of the 7 hidden secrets behind Steve Jobs success

From the above 7 hidden secrets behind Steve Jobs success, it is clear that Jobs had the illusive ‘X-factor’ that only a few people in the world process. The journey to exposing these hidden secrets behind Steve Jobs success feels like exposing the secrets behind a great magician’s tricks.

The former decorated Apple CEO had a reputation for running the company like a ruthless totalitarian, with little tolerance for imperfection, and on a level of secrecy that could match that of the CIA. Moreover, he demanded perfection not only from other people but also himself, preferred simplicity and most of all, he loved his job. A lethal combination of qualities that enabled to achieve such success.

Krugman tweeted:

Thought: There was (rightly) a cloud of illegitimacy over Bush, dispelled (wrongly) by 9/11. Creates some interesting incentives for Trump

— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) December 16, 2016

This tweet implies that that Trump could Stage an inside job terrorist attack similar to the 9/11 attack to legitimatize his presidency or rather to dispel the numerous claims of “illegitimacy” regarding his ascension to power.

Krugman statement further insinuates that, Trump is currently in a similar circumstance that the former President George W. Bush was in during the 2000 elections. The Bush’s presidential victory was also riddled with claims of illegitimacy with the Democrats claiming that Bush was selected and not elected.

However, the illegitimacy claims were erased after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by the Al Qaeda. The Bush’s tough and swift response to terrorism after this tragic event won the hearts of the citizens, and the claims of illegitimacy were quickly forgotten.

Thus Krugman insinuates that, because of the mixed feelings surrounding the impending presidency of Trump; he has an “incentive” to allow a terrorist attack on the American soil on purpose so that just like Bush did, he could respond with a swift and tough military action to win the hearts of the critics.

Krugman’s assertion was immediately met with mix of mockery and disbelief by various Twitter users.

Trump’s Reaction

As you could expect, Donald Trump did not take the comments lightly. Though he did not address Krugman directly by name, it is obvious that Trump’s remarks were directed towards him.

While at a rally in Mobile, Alabama, Trump asked, what kind of a person would make such remarks. Trump continued to add that, when he was first informed of the words the columnist’s had used, he felt certain that it must have been a typo or a mistake, but to his surprise, this was not the case.

He was shocked that someone would insinuate that he could instigate a catastrophe that would lead to the death of thousands of people so that he could look good on his base. He added that anyone who would say such a thing must be demented, and that is the reason why the Times is failing.
Krugman has not been hesitant about his opposition to Trump’s presidency; he had previously predicted that if Trump won the elections, the American stock market would never recover, which is currently not the case.

He is survived by his three sons Carter, Brennan and Robin Thicke – the “Blurred Lines” singer… and his wife, Tanya.

Robin Thicke’s publicist confirmed his death on Tuesday evening. When Robin Thicke was asked to comment about his father on Tuesday evening, he mentioned that he was not only a gentleman but also the greatest man he had ever met. He further confirmed that his father suffered a heart attack while playing hokey with his brother Carter.

Based on Robin Thicke’s response, it is clear that he regarded him highly; he credited his father as an accomplished musician and actor who not only inspired him but also supported him in his music career.

Carter who had shared the last moments with his father mentioned, “One of the last things he said to me was a complement on a nice shot I had made”.

A Singer, A Songwriter and An Actor

Alan Thicke was a Canadian singer, songwriter and an actor, who will be best remembered in the United States for role he played in the family sitcom, “Growing Pains”. He played the role of, Dr. Jason Seaver, a psychiatrist, and also as reassuring father, who meticulously solved his family problems in a warm homily manner. The show set the pace for parenting ideals in the 80’s hence earning him the nickname America’s Dad.

Being a man of multiple talents he composed various theme songs for television shows such as “The Facts of Life, and “Different Stokes” sitcoms and also the “Celebrity Sweepstakes” and the “The Joker’s Wild” theme songs.

In his height of his career he featured in the popular soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful” as Rich Ginger — the talk show host, and more recently made appearances on “How I Met Your Mother” a popular television show.

Mr. Thicke’s career hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Though he had hosted a myriad of shows with some being successful, other shows performed dismally and were accompanied by harsh critical response.

A Family Man

Thicke has also been divorced two times, and managed to take custody of all his sons. Fortunately, it seems that failure inspired Thicke to do better or keep moving forward. Thicke had once mentioned that, he drew his parenting skills from the role he played for 7 years as dad in the sitcom “Growing Pains”.

It is unfortunate that the would has lost another great talent.
