I saw this guy's profile pop up in Buffalo and saw the following line in his ad:

"I treat morbid boyfriends."

What the heck... 🤣

He has a one star review as well saying he stole money. Yikes.

Thought it might be a lost in translation issue.  But 2 of 3 reviews are negative.  🙉

South American providers have a bad habit of misinterpreting the English word morbid because it resembles similar Spanish words. Therefore, they actually mean to say horny or soft/delicate/smooth, depending on the context. (This is how a Colombian provider explained it to me.)

Ah, normally I can kind of figure out what they mean but that one really threw me for a loop.

the "morbid/morbido" quandary has been a periodic topic here in the forum for years......entirely a "lost in translation" thing....... 

one thread:

Given the negative reviews, perhaps "morbid" as stated is correct.

Oh!  You don’t think he’s referring to Bud Cort, star of the 70’s cult classic “Harold and Maude?”

Take it from a native speaker “morboso” in Portuguese and Spanish is used as we would use “horny”.  It does however literally translate to “morbid”.

I had always assumed that they were necromaniacs or at least preferred their partners stiff and still.

Morbido and morbo are two different words in Spanish with a weird range of meanings. Everything from soft, gentle, and deathly (morbido) to weird, kinky, disturbing, and sexy (morbo). 

Was going to make a snarky comment on a language where dead and horny are that close linguistically, but then I remembered the French call orgasms “la petite morte” — the little death.

I actually sent him an RM message suggesting he change it before I saw this thread. I’m not sure he understood, just said ok and asked if I wanted to meet him in Buffalo.
