Posts: 1506Punto Com is 55 K now I was told. An increase of 5 K. Talent looked the same as always. They could use an upgrade, but a decent spot for those that have never been. Had a good session with a repeat. BBBJ and sex in several positions.

Posts: 687Comparing the number of words gets tricky if you consider every conjugation of the verb tenses and moods. And of course the imperfect subjunctive can be formed two ways. Are the two alternatives 'hubiera' and 'hubiese' different words? We had a long and inconclusive discussion about this in I believe it was Spanish IV. I will give one piece of anecdotal evidence leaning towards Spanish: a good friend of mine from Argentina said her brother knew over forty different words for 'pussy. ' I don't know anywhere near that many.
Another thing about Spanish is you could learn it in Country A and then go to Spanish-speaking Country be and not understand jack shit for quite a while. I learned mostly in Spain and then I went to Argentina and had NO idea what the fuck they were saying and why they misspelled so many words all the time. I remember going to La Boca in BsAs and a guy in a kiosko was counting out my change in one peso coins (which are now completely worthless). 'Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, chinco' and I am like 'chinco? Where the fuck am I?' Or learn in MDE where the Spanish is quite clear IMO, and then go to Puerto Rico. Good luck with that!
Of course that is true in English as well. If I am absolutely sure someone is speaking English, but I have absolutely no idea what they are saying, they are Scottish. I had an employee from Louisiana and I asked him his name three times. Then I went and looked at his timecard.

Yes, Huacho is correct (twice in one week) about subjunctive. It does exist but is often not used / used incorrectly. But its use is more limited than in Spanish.
Another factor that slowed my own learning down is this. Colombia is a hugely noisy country and my hearing is not what it once was. It would be difficult enough to pick up small but important inflections in tone, but impossible in a club with 1. 000 decibels of reggaeton.
Here's one way to compare the two languages' vocabularies: Current editions of the "Diccionario de la Real Academia Espaņola" (the "Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy" the closest thing there is to an official list of Spanish vocabulary, has around 88,000 words. In addition, the Academy's list of Americanismos (Americanisms) includes about 70,000 words used in one or more Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America. So to round things off, figure there are around 150,000 "official" Spanish words.
In contrast, the Oxford English Dictionary has about 600,000 words, but that includes words that are no longer in use. It has full definitions of around 230,000 words. The makers of the dictionary estimate that when all is said and done, "there are, at the very least, a quarter of a million distinct English words, excluding inflections, and words from technical and regional vocabulary not covered by the OED, or words not yet added to the published dictionary. ".

I might be generalizing too much here. Many guys, when they get a really hot girl are too eager. They don't establish a mood, and put the girl in the right frame of mind to enjoy the session.

Posts: 16Learning Spanish and heading to MED for the first time for the month of Feb
Thanks to all you guys for all the great info in this thread! I'll be in Medellin all of February for my first time. Flying in and out of Bogota so I'll probably hang there for 4-7 days and experience their scene first (not to mention Airbnb's seem much cheaper here, maybe seasonal) before hopping a flight down to MDE for the rest of the month. Maybe hitting Carty for a few days at the end of the trip. I'd love to connect with some of you guys while in town!
I did the Colombian Cupid thing and also followed advice here with a new facebook profile and it's honestly hard to keep up with all the messages I get, especially on Cupid. I'm in the states begging 5's and 6's off sugar daddy sites to meet me so I've had to adjust my expectations and my new motto is "If she ain't a dime, she aint worth my time" I say this in my head every time I view a new facebook / CC profile haha. And by dime I really mean at least an 8. I'll probably add Tinder in the next couple days and was debating Seeking but Seeking seems unnecessary at this point.
Currently shopping for Airbnb's. Wanting something for under $50 a day with a nice balcony w great wifi so I can smoke cigars and work from my laptop. It's interesting trying to read between the lines in the descriptions to figure out if they're "guest" friendly or not. I remember reading on here to first book an airbnb for a day and then negotiate with the owner for a longer stay, right? Also, I've found an apartment I think I like in Poblado but it's on the ground floor with no security. I see this as good and bad. No guest fees or hassles but I feel like a bit of a target too. Do you guys know of any spots in Poblado where I could smoke a cigar and get some work done too? I was looking at Laureles but my Spanish sucks (working hard on it though) so I figured I'd just stick to Poblado.
On the topic at hand, I've dabbled with learning Spanish for years and have played around on Duolingo but have really hit it hard the past few weeks with this trip upcoming. I've still got a long way to go but the key is to just enjoy the journey I think. It will take however long it takes. I've jumped around youtube channels and podcasts and trying to watch Netflix in Spanish only but the Language Transfer podcast is currently my favorite. The English language is made up of mostly Latin and German words while Spanish comes from Latin so there are lots of similarities and Language Transfer starts with what you already know in English and builds from there. To Go in Spanish is Voy and we have a similar English word from the same Latin root, Voyage. Also, Confirmation comes from the latin root of Con Firma. With signature. Spanish word for signature is Firma. Confrontation is Con Front. With front aka forehead. Etc etc. So it's not like trying to learn Chinese. You just have to make the connections and you'll learn about 3 k words.
Unless I'm talking out of my ass because I still suck.

Sure there is a minimum threshold- but so many other factors come into play in a positive experience. It's been often said but bears repeating that the hottest girls are often the worst lays.
The monger / friend I know who uses the scale a lot and posts on it here often I think sees it as a market research tool- one more data point to map a particular scene and to gauge its economics. The trouble he runs into- the main conclusion that we all seem to agree upon-is that it's largely unreliable because a 10 to some guys is usually a 6 to him, so the datasets will be inevitably compromised or need adjusting to account for this wild deviation. It's a methodology that has some limited use, but should not be part of the primary tool kit. In a sense it might be usable only for one to keep internal tabs rather than as a networked information pool.

Needing to copy her sentence and paste it in the translator and then write out a response and copy the translation and paste it into your communication app is going to take a few minutes no matter how fast you are at it. God forbid she uses some abbreviations which might completely confuse your translator. Meanwhile she has gotten 5 other messages and is concentrating on the ones that have quick responses. Translator users? Ever notice how your conversations sometimes stall out? Now you know why.
As to Spanish being difficult. Yes verb conjugation and extra tenses make the language different than English. But there are some big and I mean huge advantages too. In Spanish, letters and consonants have consistent patterns and sounds. Words spell like they sound. Basically if you can spell it you can pronounce it. Think about English for a second. Take the "A" vowel. Sometimes it is silent. Like in boat, moat, coat, float. Some times it is hard like in: mate, hate, fate, bait and other times it is medium like in: father, matter, hat, cat, flat. So to pronounce words perfectly in English you have to know almost all the words. Because there are so many variations and exceptions.
The reason. Is that English is a amalgamation of many languages. Which really makes the language difficult.

If I'm willing to pay, then the girl already passed my requirements for attractiveness. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me any girl's attractiveness varies depending on my mood. Paying more because one girl is more attractive than another is a losing game, because it sets the bottom limit on price on the day I am most attracted to her.
Paying for performance is a guessing game. There are a lot of factors that go into performance. Even the world elite athletes have bad days. Expecting a working girl to always have her best day, because someone else reported about her skills will often lead to disappointment.
Instead I pay for opportunity. I have an opportunity to get her comfortable and interested. I have the opportunity to coax an excellent performance out of her. I have the opportunity to get to know her and enjoy the entire encounter.
When it's done, if I took the most of the opportunity, I'm satisfied.

My problem now, is that I am having such a good time already it's hard to find the motivation and discipline to undergo formal Spanish instruction. So I am learning by immersion and osmosis. I may be lazy on the Spanish, but I am a Happy Lazy. The penalty will be I am taking longer than I should, but it feels like in the long run that won't bother me because like I said, I am already happier than a pig in shit.
Learning a foreign language has been called single the hardest thing a brain can do. I don't know exactly what that means, but sometimes I think I feel it. I am certainly not a natural at it.
Someone else said, nothing worthwhile doing is easy. When I hear a mongerer say he's not happy here about the pussy here and he doesn't give a shit about learning any Spanish, I think to myself, "he doesn't really want it."
Sounds like you are functionally literate, which is usually around 12,000 words for educated listeners. The "problem" with Medellin is their Spanish is very idiomatic, it has an accent, and the listeners are mostly uneducated, so if you vary even slightly off of what they are used to hearing, they don't even try to understand you, they give up early and quick. In a way that's good, because it forces me to say the words "right", for here.
