What's a muela and how do recognize them?

[margaret]

The other day I received a bizarre email from a Dominican man and I had to show it another Dominican male for a cultural interpretation. Without miguel around on DR1, I had to consult with someone from the blogosphere.

He said, "Do you want know what we call that?" Of course I wanted to know.

He said, "That's a muela." It's something we say to women, when we have some ulterior motive for example we want to get in your pants." So I asked him, what do I reply to get the message across. He said, "No me des muelas." That will make his jaw drop and he'll know you're getting advice from a Dominican. I sent it without a full understanding of all the implications and I haven't heard from the guy since.... that was a couple day ago. LOL

I used to be able to count of miguel for advice and now he's on vacation. What ever that means!!? I need the advice of a Dominican man and this being an English forum, we don't exactly have many Dominican men who will come down here with the bottom feeders. Who's going to come down to Mars and Venus forum!? Who will tell me straight out what's what in the mind of the Dominican male, whether I like it or not? I need an expert, someone who knows the ins and outs of muelas. Who better than a Dominican man who has heard them from women and who knows how to fashion his own muelas?

Where's Miguel when I need him? I did a search and his name came up. He has the answers, bring them on!

This question is for anyone who has the experience in recognizing Dominican muelas from men or women.

What's a muela? And how do you recognize them?
Examples, experience and strategies for dealing with them.

Margaret, sounds like you have a great friend that helped you with this already.

It doesnt matter if it is said in English or Spanish or in Dominican Muela: if it sounds too good to be true, it is!

My first thought when reading this was why would anyone respond to an email such as this?.......But after a little consideration the answer was self evident!

Dar Muela = It is basically bull doo doo to get into your pants. You have a good friend there. It is a "line" , like what the sankies use to get those poor girls all hot and bothered...

Thank your friend for being so clear...

Margaret, you are probably expecting a long dissertation or a 4-page letter like your friend likes to write... but this one is pretty easy and easier to spot.

Anytime your name can be interchanged with anyone else's in a guy's conversation or actions, thats a muela. Always think: what makes me so special that this dude fell head over heels in love with me over the span of ONE conversation or meeting me for the first time?

Where are the cameras? Where's Ashton Kutcher? Am I on TV?

Talldrink, unfortunately I need some intensive training in Dominican muela recognition. There "lines" right? You mention 3 types. English, Spanish and Dominican muela. So then you're saying Dominicans have their own style? Can you elaborate on that?

[Talldrink]

Yeah, they are smoother, speak closer to you, and say exactly what you want to hear in explicit ways. What do you do? Move back and stay away - unless you want your personal space invaded, then thats another story...

Maragret I have a great deal for you, they found land in the middle of Lake Ontario.

Margaret tu eres mi vida y yo no puedo vivir sin ti a mi lado.

Both are total BS but one is very personal and more blinding than the first.

After being here this long I can't beleive you don't know BS when you hear it.

"Muela" is the actual verbal con. As in, "He gives good muela".

"Muelu" is the guy who is spewing this nonsense, thinking you are too stupid and love-starved to tell that he is being insincere. As in, "That muelu really has his act down cold".

There is no "special type" of muela that dominicans engage in-its' the same smooth-talking crap players from all countries use to get what they want.

Its effectiveness relies more on the ignorance of the victim than any "special powers" that some people think muelus possess.

These fools have been endowed svengali-type status because it really doesn't take much to bamboozle some of their "victims", who sometimes seem all too eager to fall for their lies.

You do not need to wear cloves of garlic around your neck and a religious amulet to ward these vampires off. A simple "Go Away" in whichever language you speak is more than enough.

Margaret, you don't need strategies to deal with these guys. Just stay away from them and try to find a meaningful relationship at home.

Best suggestion yet...
