The Art of PIROPOS

"Huy usted con esas curvas y yo sin frenos!"

And the worst one...actually it's disgusting so I can't say!

Lo que pasa es que una señora una vez me dijo que YO era un piropo para las damas!!!

Bueno un amigo que tengo es muy ordinario pero hay un "piropo" que me dió mucha risa... "en esa cola sí me formo!"

A mi madre un día le dijeron... "Dios mío qué acabado! qué acabado!"

Gabo apparently it's not so unusual nowadays for a woman to piropear a guy, there's only been once where I would have done that if I could have thought of the right thing to say!!

Well your friend, si que es ordinario! But it still doesn't beat my worse piropo, it was really bad.jaja

Canadian girls don't always like piropos, but they do make some girls smile. I apparently can't tell piropos and pirobos apart, though, which may explain observation #1. I like the pirate treasure one. Que juguetería... muñeca kind of creeps me out. I'll leave it to morphus, (and his minisigüi) ;)

Mi clásico:
Sos como una estrella que brilla en la oscuridad
robaste de la luna de tu belleza,
y de mi alma la tranquilidad

El de ojitos de lago está bueno y es de una telenovela de Andrea del Boca. Pero es asi:
Gabriel Corrado dice: Tus ojos son como dos lagos de agua cristalina
agua que me llama...agua que me inunda..agua que me ahoga...
Acto seguido Andrea agarra un vaso y le tira agua diciendole: "Entonces ahogate".

Hay varios de la lista que yo los conocía distinto. Por ej. ese de existis o te inventé...yo lo usaba diciendo ¿Muñeca sos de verdad?
En realidad era así:
"Tus dulces candores de miel (manera muy elegante para referirme a los pechos)
desafían la gravedad
contestame esta salvedad
¿muñeca sos de verdad?"

ColombianoGringo says on Sep 13, 2007, 15:57:

Los mejores piropos son los que se inventan al decirlos. Pero es increíble lo que uno logra con no mas decirle "bella" a una Latina. Cuando tenia muchas novias, se emputaban berracamente cuando yo le decía o escribía "bella" a otra. No se enojaban por el hecho de que tuviera yo mas que una vieja, sino que se dieran cuenta que les decía "bella" a todas. No hay cosa mas cómica que ver a una latina enojarse por celos. Claro que puede ser peligroso así que cuidado.

Man Tequila says on Sep 13, 2007, 18:47:

The best I've got from a piropo itself is an invitation to sit down, though that has sometimes led to more. I usually just tell a girl that I would like to get to know her. Original, no? Canadian women often find piropos creepy... I wouldn't even know how to translate the word. Catcall? It's a big cultural difference. The ones I like include:

Could I touch your belly button... from the inside?

Man: Please give it back.
Woman: Give what back?
Man: My breath

I know you've lost your virginity, but can I have the box it came in?

They just sound so much better in Spanish, and Latino women are so much cooler and laid back than in many other cultures.

Apropos of nothing, I've always like the words to this old Jim Reeves song...
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go...

Worst I've heard: Fuck me if I'm wrong, but is your name Gretchen?

Does that count as a piropo? I don't even know if it's a compliment or what? I mean I understand it, sounds funny though, isn't it?

Piropos work well in Hispanic countries. In English they generally sound crude. I think it is a significant cultural difference even if all women like to be told they are pretty. Quoting poetry is thought pretentious, though it works better than crudeness. Being funny is good, but best to bring that out a little later.

"I think it is a significant cultural difference even if all women like to be told they are pretty."

American women respond better if you act like you don't even know they exist. The less interested and aloof you seem, the more they want to meet you. It is sad and stupid, but true. The easiest way to scare off an American woman is to appear too in to her.

houstongal says on Sep 14, 2007, 14:34:

I don't necessarily agree CG. If the guy is cute and appeared interested, sure we would be interested. But there's interested and there's TOO interested. And we are turned off by TOO interested.

What I never understood is why all the guys who are not cute seem to have the guts to come up to us and try to pick us up. Those are the ones who will only get a laugh or smile from me before I'm out of there.

Because they have to.

The absolute best way to interest a woman in a public setting is through subtle eye contact and a sly smile. But you still have to be all disinterested about it.

Canadian women like it better if you act like they don't exist as well, but that only gets you into the door. After the aloof stage, they want funny and disinterested. All women like to be told they are pretty, that's still true, but you can't open with that. You're often better off not mentioning it for quite some time. Bizarre. Never understood it.

With non-perra Colombian women it's the opposite.

Honestly, I find that I don't have to play as many games with Colombian women. It's less work. Plus, since I was raised Colombian, I like being affectionate with them. American women interpret affection as a sign of weakness whether they admit it or not.

HG, Those "not cute" guys are actually useful. I have used them to my advantage many times. When you see some dork go up to a girl and completely strike out, I would then casually talk to the girl and make a joke about the poor guy. Women will almost always laugh and then you are in. Once you make a girl laugh, she's yours.

On more than one occasion, I have actually sent in a friend of mine on a "suicide mission" just so I could swoop in afterwards. I know that makes me a complete bastard, but it has worked.

Two guys got on the tube as well, there were speaking spanish -rolos- and I was on the phone with bf so they must have thought I didnt understand spanish. Anyway, one goes to the other one "Oiga, la vieja que esta al lado mio, cierto que aguanta?" And I look at him and say "Entiendo espanol" He wanted to die..."que pena contigo...yadda yadda"...It was funny.

hahaha no pero es que "aguantar" no es lo mismo que "estar buena". En mi opinion cuando alguien "aguanta" es porque es un candidato decente para salir /rumbearse/ tener sexo en caso tal que no aparezca alguien mejor. Pero bueno, algo es algo...que tal que estos dos personajes hubiesen salido con algo como "que vieja mas fea..."

Yeah Mona, I can be heartless but I swear, it always seems like the unattractive ones are the guys that almost run after you.

CG - Really smart strategy of yours. I can easily see how that would be a great ice breaker.

And CC - The origami idea is a good one as well. Little gifts like that would go over quite well, especially since most people think making little paper cranes and stuff is difficult. I'm sure you'd get lots of brownie points for that!

cereal killer. Do you remenber that I´M ALWAYS SAY, I´M NOT CATHOLIC. . the nacho girls are so ugly, that they made me do the cross sign. . . so thats why I say DIOS MIO.. .
javerianas and sabaneras, have the lead specially on design degrees as industrial, arquitect, graphic. They are usually quite hot, and quite dumb. Not all, but when I attend to her exhibitions you see REALLY SEE BAD GRAMMAR MISTAKES LIKE "trazmilenio" (yes with a z).

and COLOMBIANOGRINGO, remenber that houstongal is a GORGEUS GIRL, and she just SAY (i quotte: CC - The origami idea is a good one as well. Little gifts like that would go over quite well, especially since most people think making little paper cranes and stuff is difficult. I'm sure you'd get lots of brownie points for that! . . .) So, I´ll let you guide the ship of my delusions, till the harbor of your defeats instead. Nice sarcasm plus a methaphore.

Thx for the compliment Capitan. If we ever meet in person we can have a crane making contest! I once made hundreds of them for my cousin's wedding. It's good luck to make 1,000 of them (hmmmm...that marriage didn't last though). After you make that many, you'll never forget how to fold a square piece of paper into a crane.

Oh CC.

I hope the origami thing works out for you. I have never needed a prop to attract women. But hey, if you can't attract a woman with your looks and charisma, then I suppose you should use whatever silly gimmick that works for you.

When are you going to post a current picture? You are one of the few that hasn't. Let's have a look at El Capitan.

BTW, I have met HG in person, and you're right about one thing. She is very pretty.

Peace,
CG

I´m not a good looking guy like CG. But I think using props certainly can reflect personality, creativity and even charisma. No need to be Miss Dismissive.

"if you can't attract a woman with your looks and charisma". . . "charisma" and "look"are usually photoshop.

If you don´t believe me check this out: http://www.glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio32.html

(how easy the eyes can be fooled. . .)

And guess what? you cannot made love to a picture. You get sick of it, if you stare too much, and "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder. Girls are usually more than trophies you can pick. (They have THOUGHTS. . . YESSSSSSSS, QUITE A DISCOVER ISN´T IT?) I don´t need to show you my face, becouse I have more stuff in my brains than in my looks. And in time, a good laugh last more than a good face, or even a good body, but it seems that you are quite "fast". . . hum that could be a problem in key moments.

And about the props, YOU DON´T USE IT, becouse you don´t know HOW TO DO IT, and one more thing. I do excersice on regular basis (ball jugling, unycicling and jogging) becouse i´m an actor. The day you can balance three balls in a unycicle, keep an smile, and still breath. . . You´ll become more interesting than some guy in a desk job, wondering how to pick up a secretary. And the drawing that I have on my profile photo, it´s me. Made by me. So by the time you finish your scotch trying to be a frank sinatra´s inpersonator, I made two flowers to someone enough interesting that can apreciatte the effort I made.

In colombia there´s plenty of golddigers in all "estratos". So even if you were Bratt Pitt you never know for certain the inttention of the girl. So been american (or half american) and get fooled by a latinamerican bimbo (o mosquitas muertas, como les decimos los bogotanos), it´s quite hilaroius. (at least to me) They stand you for three years (or two) they get divorced, and they return with a lottery ticket. They got paradise on earth. Been in colombia, do nothing usefull having ALIMONY IN DOLLARS.

I don´t want to be good looking. Being nice it´s just enough.

CC

If you can't take some good natured ribbing, then you shouldn't initiate things. Maybe your pretty obvious sense of inferiority made you feel that personal attacks were necessary.

I had not directed anything at you, yet you came at me with this...

"And colombiano gringo, everytime a guy like you with the sweet talking about a "alleged poor thing" guy like me, I come again and say: - Hum you change me for a pack of muscles. . . Nice if you want a barbecue. They laugh at YOU, and come with ME. works everytime."

Now you choose to insult me and come off like a whiny little bitch that got his feelings hurt. Don't be pissed at me because you lost out on the genetic lottery. You don't know me and have no right to launch petty insults my way.

I will tell you that I don't consider myself to be a particularly good looking person. However, I know that I am extremely intelligent and very talented as well. In addition to being an expert level software developer for major clients in the music industry(like The Rolling Stones, U2, Shakira, etc,), I am a very accomplished sculptor. I also own two successful companies that I personally started with no one else's money or help. As far as balance, I have studied martial arts most of my life and as a result, have developed extremely good balance. I try to be very friendly and I treat women very well, whether I am interested in them or not.

So take your little circus acts and folded flowers and try to impress someone else.

BTW, I am not one half gringo. I am 100% Colombian and proud of it. I have spent a large portion of my life in Colombia and am the farthest thing from a clueless gringo.

And I think that you can ask HG about how many beers I had at the Colombian Festival. That would be none, since I rarely ever drink alcohol.

It is amazing how clueless and petty you are. Maybe you should try being proud of who you are instead of attacking others to mask your insecurities. I guess that is hard when you are a troglodyte midget with a chip on his shoulder.

Oh guys....this is bad!
When did this turn into something serious?
I think this is the first "encuentro" on PBH...
I think it went pear shaped when something said in jest was taken too seriously, as CG said he was only taking a pop at the less fortunate in the "genetic lottery"...but it was meant in a harmless way, you know the way guys talk to each other?

This is strange as both CC and CG are nice, funny, intelligent guys so why fight?

C'mon GROUP HUG!

CG and CC kindly make up and be a good sport please gents? And yes, CG had no beers. A coke or sprite or something, but no beers (unlike the other guys we were with, who drank far more). So could everyone make up so that we can keep the Do Your Own Thing zone a stress-free section?
