I don't know why you're waiting, because I never offered. You're a random stranger on the internet.

I dont think you understand just how hard it is to try and communicate with people who dont talk the same language as you. Unless you have the best looks in the world I doubt youd get far. And considering that this thread is specifically about spanish speaking countries its even less of a chance theyd speak english. Its well known that most people that speak a latin based language are unlikely to know english, especially if they are in their own country. So unless you can perform a superhuman feat and learn spanish or portugese in a month itll be a hard hit on you.


I'm very awesome, I do well everywhere.

still waiting to see pictures of you with your hordes of beautiful women. i am sure your awesomeness would be visible in photos.


lol is that a fair move? I have pics with hoards of beautiful women but they dont exactly mean much now do they?

it does mean something in your case, doesn't it? you're living with a beautiful woman, with benefits, so.... yeah.

EDIT: i can take out the details if it is not public though. i can't remember

Not really, por ejemplo yo soy boriqua, o como el resto del mundo nos llama puertorrique~os. Ive been in many places in latin america, met many people from there, and have also met enough spaniards and italians to know it to be a truth. That it is a truth based on the stereotypes of a race? Yes. But stereotypes exist for a reason. Nobody woke up one morning and said "wouldnt it be hilarious if we made fun of black people for eating chicken and watermelon?". Stereotypes have a base in truth, though often exagerated and seen in a negative demeanor they hold a meaner of truth.

Hyper- my comment based that theres a very large difference between being surrounded by women and being good with women.

Hmm... You know South America DOES have nice girls...

But I think the FAR MORE logical reason is that (as already may have been said) is the economic AND competitive reason.

Economic: Monetary, Quality of Life, Ability to so South-><-North, etc.
Competitive nature: For girls, in life, etc, etc.

I've been assured that you are no longer permitted to use your moderator position to demand personal photographs from me. It made me very uncomfortable.

:lol: i wasn't demanding, i was joking ("pics or it didn't happen"). i clarified in the PM you did not open.

you are not allowed to make outlandish claims anymore because it is trolling. glad we have this out in the open.

EDIT: i should add that it is not a matter of being "permitted" lol. Tallyman is not my boss, we work together as a team.

Meh thats a generalization and as with any generalization theres some truth to it but there are some cases where its dead wrong.

Theres a lack of knowledge on foreign languages where I live because apparently a lot of people think it isnt important and it isnt a requirement at most jobs.
However if you move to Madrid/Barcelona/Canary Islands/Marbella... English understanding is a basic requirement and in several cases they ask for other languages(german comes to mind)

I guess it depends on the area you are going to and how many tourists usually go there.

I never claimed it to be an absolute truth, but rather theres a significant chance of. Where im from its similar, if you're in the tourist area you're required to know english.

You made it clear that I could avoid being officially warned if I sent you personal photographs. That was harassment. I agreed with Tallyman that if anyone found my posts insulting they would take it up with me at the time. I never make 'outlandish claims'. I won't be reading your pms in future so if the moderating team want to contact me someone else should do it.

I was warned that if it can't be decided whether my words are true they would be considered trolling and insulting to other members. This seemed like an excuse for harassment, as hyperlexian said one way to establish truth would be to provide personal photographs. I can't see how photos could prove anything nor why I should have to.

If I have a message or theme to young autistics it would be something like "If you're awesome, beautiful people will love you" (amongst other things, but they seem to ask about relationships a lot). I think this is the opposite of insulting.

nobody forced you to post proof. What was said is that making big claims is usually seen as trolling. Quite defensive for such an awesome person

How does one get to be "awesome" though? Now there's a whole other chestnut.
