16 Things That Separate The Men From The Boys. 15 Underrated Destinations In India Every Traveler Must Check Out. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.- Robert Frost India has no dearth of beautiful travel destinations. Some are more popular and more commercialized than others. That in no way implies that the lesser-known places have anything less to offer; just that they haven't been explored as much. This is why you need to know places that aren't as saturated by tourists. 1. Frankly, almost any beach on the Konkan coast could have qualified for this spot.

What comes after 2, 4, 8? a math riddle that doesn't add up. Offbeat | Written by Prasad Sanyal | Updated: February 28, 2014 13:17 IST Derek Muller (image from YouTube video uploaded by Veritasium) I hated math in school and it's not often that I pay heed to numbers (notable exceptions: phone numbers, figures on my salary check and all things money) But here is a math riddle that not just tickled me but seems to have millions in a tizzy.

In the three days since it was uploaded on YouTube over 2 million people have watched it. The video posted by Derek Muller shows many people struggle to produce the correct answer. The sequence that he then proceeds to share is "2, 4, 8". I don't want to give away the solution, so take a deep breath, activate those grey cells and get cracking at solving the riddle. But know this - 16, 32, 64 was the most common answer - and while they obey the rule Mr Muller proposes - the rule isn't that the number doubles itself. The Actual Difference Between Women Who Are Hot And Who Are Beautiful. Women. We’re curvy, skinny, hood, pretty, cute, ethnic, bad, dime pieces, unicorns, babes, pieces of tail, juicy, fine, sexy, foxes, sultry, voluptuous… The list goes on.

When was the last time you heard a man describe a woman with an adjective that wasn’t dripping in sexual innuendos and defaming premises? When was the last time you heard a man describe a woman by something that compliments her soul and her inherent elegance? When was the last time you heard a man describe a woman as beautiful? There’s been a loss of respect when it comes to admiring women, shifting towards describing us as objects, rather than people. Men look at women as pieces of tail, “things” to be conquered, rather than appreciating women for their individuality. A large portion of today’s men are momentarily allured by hair extensions, large chests, big bottoms and stilettos.

What about the women who don’t want to indulge in the male fantasy? Hot is admired from afar; beauty is to be held. Learn 46 Languages Online for Free: Spanish, English & More.
