16 Weird Ways To Turn Her On

Posted on by
Reply

1. When a guy has really nice forearms. Is it because he’d look good chopping wood? Because I don’t live anywhere near a forest, but I’m still into it. Also, I couldn’t tell you what makes a nice forearm. It’s very subjective and case-by-case, but you know it when you see one.

2. Ryan Gosling’s fake Brooklyn accent. Ryan is from Canada and yet he sounds like Robert DeNiro for no reason. Do our vaginas care that his voice is a lie? No, they do not. If anything, the fact that it’s total B.S. might work in its favor, but I don’t know why because scientists have yet to do any research on the matter. Who do I speak to about getting that changed?

3. Guys in tailored suits that don’t look like they previously belonged to their dads. So many guys own suits that make them look like 1980s stand-up comedians that when a guy has one that fits just right, our vaginas hurtle into space like shooting stars.

4. When a guy jangles his watch while he drives. Seriously, what movies taught us this was hot? How do we explain that a guy shaking his watch off his wrist because it was too loose and he wanted to shake it down his arm makes us want to stop the car and jump him? How?

5. Suspenders. Note: Not everyone can pull them off. Years ago, I told a guy that suspenders drove me nuts and he tried to wear them and just ended up looking like a ’90s drug dealer. Not the same thing.

6. When men wear female-fronted band T-shirts. One time, I saw a guy I never would’ve looked twice at on the subway wearing a Heart T-shirt, and all of a sudden decided he was my soul mate. Why? Who knows, but any man who can openly worship at the alter of women in rock can get it.

7. Guys who have very pretty long hair. Who then take their hands and run it through their pretty, pretty long hair. God help us if they also push it behind their ear.

8. When guys talk about how much they love their moms. Unless your mom is a monster human being, everyone should love their mom, so a guy who loves his mom should not be hot. He should just be “a guy.” And yet, the second a dude tells us he thinks his mom is amazing, we immediately become that little emoji face with hearts instead of eyes. So weird.

9. When guys seem like really good dads. Again, all men should be good dads, so why is this so hot?! Maybe it’s because it’s rare to see a guy hanging out with his kid in the park and looking really into it? Analyzing this is making me sad.

10. A reasonably fit guy in a slightly too tight white T-shirt. I’m sorry. My brain stopped working just reading that.

11. When men have luxurious eyelashes we wish we had. At first, you’re angry because that just seems like a waste of luxurious eyelashes, but then the more you gaze at them, the more you need a vibrator stat. Doesn’t matter why. It is what it is.

12. Cheekbones so deep you could crawl into them and set up base camp for life. If anything, this should make us think a dude might be malnourished, but instead it makes us want to run our fingers along their deep, deep crevice.

13. When men roll up their sleeves. Exhibit H (for horniness, duh).

14. When a guy is doing dishes and puts a dishtowel on his shoulder. First of all, this happens so rarely IRL and I think that is the cause of many problems in this world.

15. Guys cooking while wearing aprons. And then when they take it off. It’s basically “Aww, they care if their shirt gets dirty. We should have sex.”

16. Hot guys reading. There’s an entire Instagram devoted to this for a reason.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has cut down the number of companies that will handle the contract of lifting Nigeria’s crude from 43 to 16. The drastic reduction is part of the Corporation’s transformation agenda aimed at keeping its operation lean, efficient and transparent to reduce cost.

Its spokesman, Ohi Alegbe said the decision is a novel move to instill transparency and probity in the award of the annual Crude Oil Term Contract for 2015/2016. He said: “NNPC yesterday mapped out measures to execute the 2015/2016 award of contract to companies for the evacuation of Nigeria’s crude oil equity from the various crude and condensate production arrangements.”

16 Students Arrested By JTF For Alleged Cult Related Activities

Members of the Special Taskforce on Jos crisis sector 2, located along Dogon Dutse, Jos North local government area of Plateau State, stormed the University of Jos night and arrested 16 students.

According to a student of the institution, Ogene Jude, who is also the National President of the Political Science Students Association, the affected students were picked at the hostels at about 2:00 a.m. early hours of Tuesday.

The student union leader said efforts to secure the release of the students from the security agents have not been fruitful, as the taskforce denied them access to their colleagues and refuse to inform them of the offence against the said students.

The media officer of the Special Taskforce, Ikedichi Iweha, said via telephone interview that he required more time to confirm the incident. Subsequently, Mr. Iweha, an Army Captain, did not pick his calls when our reporter called back.

But a security officer who pleaded not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to journalists on the matter confirmed the arrest of the students. He said the students were arrested and are being interrogated for their alleged involvement in cult related activities.
