A Close Encounter With the Creepy Kind

Madrid is full of handsome men, no doubt, but it also has its share of egregious males. I thought it would be entertaining to share with you some of the lines I have heard around Madrid so far. For anything I write in Spanish, I will provide an English translation as well for you non-Spanish savvy readers. ¡Disfrútados!*

where: outside the Sol metro stop
when: around 10:45pm
who: Beth and I
hombre: Eh, ¿tenéis un cigarrillo?
me: No.
El hombre y su compañero se quedan un rato. Beth y yo nos miramos.
hombre: ¿Sois extranjeras?
me: Pues sí, somos estudiantes.
hombre: Tu español es muy bueno. Es muy claro.
me: Gracias.
Los hombres todavía están. Estoy un poco incómoda.
hombre (a su compañero, hablando de Beth): Ésta es muy alta. Ésta me gusta. (hablando a Beth) Entonces, ¿tu casa o mi casa?

man: Hey, do you have a cigarette?
me: No.
The man and his friend linger. Beth and I look at each other.
man: Are you foreigners?
me: Yeah, we're students.
man: Your Spanish is very good. It's very articulate.
me: Thanks.
The men are still there. I'm beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable.
man (to his friend, talking about Beth): She's very tall. I like her. (talking to Beth) So, your house or my house?

where: somewhere in Old Madrid
when: around 6:45pm
who: Dana, Beth, Katie, and I
man (brandishing joint): Would you like to smoke a joint with me?
Me: No, thank you.
man (walking away): Good luck! Have a fun day!

where: Club Joy
when: between 12:30am and 3:30am
who: me
creepy Italian (with accent): Your eyes are very, very good!
