So today my elderly pharmacist gave me a kiss smack on the lips. A beso on the boca. I wasn't expecting it, just the usually kiss on one cheek. Dirty old pharmacist! After I bought my face cream he said he and his heart would be waiting for my next visit. I bet I could work that man for every good drug in his pharmacy, if I was that kind of girl.
Why couldn't it have been Dr. Handsome, my dentist?
These Argentine men and their "corazons." I have a nuevo tango CD where a man continually bleats about his "corazon" over the music. Bleats pathetically.
The men here are suppose to be very romantic, but every man who ever sweet talked me spoke not a word of English. I got the gist, however, and I don't buy a word (even though I didn't understand a word).
An expat last night told me this: Here's what to expect on a date with an Argentine. The first time he will buy your drink, and try for hours to talk you into bed. If he doesn't succeed, you will never see him again. If he succeeds, you won't hear from him for weeks, he'll show up, go to bed with you, and you get to pay for your own drink.
He said an Argentine man will borrow money from one woman and use it to take out another woman.
Married men chase as much as the single men. There are little "love hotels" all over the city where you can rent rooms by the hour for trysting.
Frankly, I don't know where they find the time. Between working, siestas, going to the gym, going out to dinner at 11 with the wife and kids (plus all the extended family get togethers) they must take their romance breaks during the day.
For me, I intend to keep this mystery, well, a mystery.

Argentineans are romantic. They are Italian descendants, so you will expect them to be hot as all latin people. The love hotels you are eferring to are called "Telo" by the "portenos" and are pretty common for young couples or married guys who want to cheat on their wives and are trying not to be busted. Last year I had an apartment for rent buenos aires
ReplyDeletenear a "telo" in the neighborhood of Palermo. Don´t think that just because they have a day full of activities they won´t have time to go to the love hotels, they always find time for something like that.
Cheers
