Posts: 690In Spanish, the only Romance language in which I consider myself fluent, there are two main things to remember when considering gender. First, although there are very few words that end in -o that are feminine, la mano being the only common one, there are quite a few verbs that are masculine but end in -a. The good news there is, most of those end in -ma and have Greek rather than Latin origin. The most common one is el problema but you have el drama, el tema, etc. One that does not follow that pattern is el planeta.
Then you have the fact that if a feminine noun begins with an unstressed 'a' or 'ha,' the article reverts to 'el' even though the noun remains feminine. Common examples would be el arma and el hacha. This is to avoid 'glottal stops' and make the language flow more smoothly. Try it both ways. Say 'la hacha' and then 'el hacha' and you will see what I mean. This is not necessary in the plural versions las armas and las hachas. Those would be pronounced like 'la sarmas' and 'la sachas' and don't require the pause or gottal stop.
Finally, there is 'apocopation. ' That means that if you have a masculine noun, you drop the final 'o' from the indefinite article. Un peso and not uno peso. Tercer piso and not tercero piso. Buen theía and not bueno theía. Those are all examples of apocopation, which does not exist on the feminine side of things.
Also remember the rules apply to numbers as well, both cardinal and ordinal. Doscientos pesos, doscientas mujeres. La tercera vez, el cuarto cuarto (the fourth quarter of a game, sounds very funny to angloparlantes).

Posts: 26Medellin vs Cartagena
Wondering if anyone who has been to both Cartagena and Medellin would share their opinion for me. I was in Cartagena last summer and had a great time, wondering if I should hit it again or try Medellin.
Things I enjoyed about Cartagena:
-Had no issue not being fluent in Spanish (Google translate and such).
-Loved the club scene for picking up girls (places like Space).
-Beaches weren't bad either.
-Enjoyed the general attitude of girls I was with. Didn't feel rushed to finish or anything. Just about all gave BBBJ before.
-Looking for caramel to brown complexion, not into the darker almost black so much.
-Usually paid 250 K for short time with multiple finishes, didn't do more that 300 K.
Any feedback you can give me on Medellin vs Cartagena on the above points is appreciated. Also thinking about trying Rio.

Most things have the same gender across the languages.

Posts: 1092This whole argument is so useless.
The only thing I know is that if someone says. Oh, she was a 9, or 8, or 10. He really liked her, or how she looked, or something. That's all I hear.
And if I then see her, meet her, whatever, and it isn't that way for me I just think, well, different strokes for different folks. That's a.

Posts: 586I agree with that. A rating would be a lot different, in most cases, if you factor in personality, performance, genuineness. And let's face it, most of these 9-10's (the high-end girls people talk about) only look that good because of surgery, treatments and make-up. A true judge of beauty, to me, is seeing a girl when she gets out of the shower. No make-up, no hair done. Most of these 9-10's lose their "value" without their make-up clothes and surgeries / enhancements, IMO.

I think RR, SS, and SJ or people like them are the ones that can get the best because the way they monger. They are unique in some aspects and share some common attributes. SJ does not know Spanish but money is no subject and that equalizes his shortcomings.
