Is there any good men’s site in spanish? Anywhere?

Popular men’s sites in spanish? Yes, but not like for men-men, just the men who like to get drunk on sundays watching chinesewolrd quality football while their balls shrink and their bellies say hello. Getting wated to go to work on monday. Doesn’t matter, it’s just temp, getting good at making arepas and selling them on a shitty street (wherever part of the Capital, could be at north or at Ciudad Bolivar, doesn’t matter if the slum is de la alta or if is just Ciudad Bolivar) takes long time to get all the coalifications and experience to become some kind of public worker to go sleep at job, I don’t care neither you do, you only care about celebrating your compañeros birthdays, going to almorzar ejecutivo con arrocito, pataconcito y juguito while you get so diabetic hibernating mediocrily at a job you don’t care only to get old, get a pension and ramble to your descendants about how you’re so succesful and how they need to get a safe job at the public sector doing the same mediocre service that you only care for the pension to live until 94 sucking your descendants life.

That was long. Getting back to the topic. Weightlifting nor Bodybuilding culture is not very «popular» in Colombia. Commercial gyms like Bodytech are very planet fitnessy. It wouldn’t be unexpected if they installed lunk alarms soon. And in the not so commercial gyms are also filled with cardio and spinning machines and not a single barbell nor power rack. In Colombia, young men care more about sitting on their coach to watch football/soccer matches (partidos de fútbol) while fillling their guts with fried meals and cheap beer and on sundays going out to ciclovia to cycle or jog out all their «beer bellies» (barrigas cerveceras), without discipline nor continuity.

www.soho.com.co is a comercial magazine intended exclusively for men but in the last 3-5 years it has gone the way of northamerican magazines like newsweek, the atlantic or Jezebel, with articles written by old fat ugly harpies who suck at life and want us to be like them. Beta Males and Losers whose only achivement in life is get to write rationalizations for how they cannot pick up the nice paisita while being themselves, while being the same type of man of the first paragraph above. Also, there has been at least in Colombia a proliferation of blogs that are hosted by newspaper’s websites like El Tiempo or El Espectador, but these are filled with the same messages you find in jezebel: rationalizations of ugly fat hags about why no worthy man wants to have unprotected sex nor be seen in puclic near those walking walruses a là Virginia Mayer (the dead whale in the room).

Other popular men’s sites are very MSM like GQ, MensHealth in spanish. Also a lot of young men surf a lot on soccer/football sites for checking the latest match, team and player’s stats. There are not websites like Bold & Determined, Chaos & PainDanger & Play, Chateau Heartiste, Roosh, Scooby’s Workshop, No Ma’am, Kabuki Warrior, In Mala Fide, Art of Manliness, et al.

Men’s sites in spanish are scarce. Maybe that’s why I am «The Translator»

    soy un Pilipino en realidad, y en aqui se toma mucho metal en algun gyms de barato. solo cuesta mas o menos 10 peso, o 30 peso(currency; $1.00= around Php 44) cada sesion en
    los gimnasios se llama «bakal gyms»(bakal= metal/iron). Pero sin embargo hay unas «gimnasios de lujo» en aqui por ejemplo «fitness first» y Golds se ya considera un gym de lujo tambien. pero si desea entrenar sus músculos por un forma barata, no tengas miedo! utilizais los gimnasios de «bakal» que que estan por todos lados pero se necesita sabe la forma correcto por los menos

    • Correcting: «Soy un Filipino, en realidad; y aquí se toma mucho metal [take some metal? don’t understand, maybe lift?] en algunos Gyms/gimnasios baratos. Solo cuesta más o menos 10 o 30 pesos (Moneda: $1.00 = 44 PHP) por cada sesión en los gimnasis que se llaman «bakal gyms» (bakal = metal/hierro). Sin embargo, hay unos «gimnasios de lujo» y Golds se considera también un gym de lujo, pero si uno desea entrenar y construir músculos de forma barata, no hay que tener miedo! Utiliza los gimnasios «bakal» que están por todos lados, pero se necesita, tú sabes la forma correcta por lo menos [what do you want to say with «la forma correcta por lo menos»?]»

      Very good. I recommend you check out your accent and tildes (f.e. write algún instead of algun) use and look for the use of the logic connectors because you don’t use pero followed by sin embargo, it’s like saying but however.

      Check this website out and tell me what you think // Mira este sitio web y dime qué piensas: http://www.busuu.com/es/
