That's my theory (II) - Types of dudes!
Aloha!
After pretty much five "pure Madrid" weekends almost in a row, therefore a statistically significant period of observation, I am now in a position to share the second keystone of my theories (and to some extent practical)about the way dudes and women relate...
Hypothesis - Regarding the way a dude approaches a woman he wants to "connect" with, we can identify 3 basic stereotypes, in parallel drawing an analogy with the world of fishing and fishermen:
- Fisherman with a net (pescador de arrastao!!) - this is the kind of dude to whom the word "standard" has no meaning and to whom the end justifies any kind of mean... We all know who they are... We've all been there... more or less often...
- Fisherman with harpoon/Underwater hunter (praticante de caça-submarina!) - These are the active focused dudes, the ones who identify their target and immediately are able to dive in and go after'em! Again, we all know who they are and generally, on latin cultures, these are the preferred types by the opposite sex...
- Fisherman with a rod (Pescador de cana) - These are the more passive dudes, who identify a target and work on their bait, trying to make it as suitable as possible to the prey they want to catch... Typical nice guy profile, that always gets it wrong!! Either the bait is not right... either the wrong fish comes after the bait... etc etc.
Regarding the last topic, the only competitive advantage these dudes have (where obviously I am included) is that they are able to multi-task and to adapt to different types of "ponds and preys", which can obviously generate tricky situations...
Is this applicable to the opposite sex? That will be a theme for a next theoretical incursion...
Carpe Diem!

Hello again, and again, full marks for your analogy skills. I must assume they are rather useful to you, judging from the prolific way you post them on your blog.
If I’m allowed, and I like to think that I am, I’d just like to make a few comments.
Regarding the fisherman with a rod, you fail to mention rod size. For fishermen, this is an important variable to consider. Different fish may require different rod sizes and/or even some flex. I’m curious to know, since you position yourself as such a stereotype, if you’ve found any relationship to your analogy?
Also, “fly fishing” is a relevant form of fishing, where the rod is less important than the way you work the line itself, and the ‘fly’ (which is not a real fly). It’s an ancient method, and is now only the pursuit of dedicated enthusiasts. So perhaps this applies to those guys that may seem a bit ‘different’, but who actually do not go home empty handed because they are good with pick up lines (and are also caring and dedicated towards their ‘art’).
Anyway, far more interesting is to know how you will apply all your theory to women. Especially if you find that women also go fly fishing. Although linguistically, this may imply that the rod actually matters…
I can’t wait for your next theoretical incursion.
