Piropos are flirtatious phrases, typically said by men in Spanish speaking countries, to women passing by in the street. Yesterday, as I was walking down the street, my eyes met those of an elderly gentleman standing several meters in front of me. His eyes twinkled, but not in the Santa Claus kind of way, and he smiled a creepy sort of smile and recited a several line piropo which I was not able to make out. Gosh, if it weren't for his creepy delivery, I think I would have felt flattered.
When I lived in Spain in the late 80's and early 90's, receiving piropos was part of my daily existence. While on occasion, it bothered me, on just as many occasions, it raised my self esteem. Of course, it is all in the delivery, and it depends on what is said and how it is said. Some women find piropos to be offensive but I often found them to be a bit amusing.
Many of the common piropos mention food.
Eres mas bueno que el pan - Translation - You're better than bread - - (Remember - Spaniards take their bread seriously)
Tanta carne y yo a dieta! Translation - So much meat and I'm on a diet!
Eres de verdad o estoy sonando? Excuse me - are you real or am I dreaming?
I remember walking in Sevilla with my mother and the two of us receiving a piropo at the same time. Something like - Si asi esta la madre - como estara la hija - Translation - If the mother is that fine - I can't imagine how the daughter will be.
Along the same note - Se nota que tu mamá es pastelera, porque bombones como tú no los hace cualquiera. Translation - You can tell that your mother is a pastry chef, because not everyone can make a 'bonbon' like you.
It's 2007, and the truth is, I'm just a bit older, and probably look like just another "senora" walking down the street. Or maybe it's the three year old attached to me as I walk down the street. Or perhaps my husband looks like a body guard and they're afraid he will beat them up.
So tell me. Have piropos disappeared in Spain? Is it simply not a Valencian custom? Or....have I lost my touch? Ok, ok. I get it. I may just have to shape up, dress up, or go back 20 years in my time machine to get those same piropos I used to.

Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. It is a good thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka? days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange.
