The 4 Guys You'll Meet in Cabo

3/8/2013

So, it’s that time of year again--spring break has finally arrived and, of course, there is only one place to be. I’m talking about CABO, baby! Cabo San Lucas is a beautiful place where our morals vanish, tequila flows like water, and the sun never sets. Although Cabo trips commence as getaways with your besties, somehow your spring break plans always turn into a hazy week of body shots and one-night stands. While none of us want to be “that girl,” let’s face it, we all are. So before going to Cabo, I want you all to take a step back and prepare yourselves for the types of men you will be encountering in beautiful Mexico. There are 4 species of Cabo-bred male, so pick wisely, ladies!

Guy #1: The Local

Tan skin and a sexy accent--yes, please! Who doesn’t want to dabble in a little foreign fun? Not only does this local know of all of the hot clubs and gorgeous beaches, but he can actually speak the language...that's Spanish for those of you who are not aware. And best of all, with this guy, what happens in Mexico might actually stay in Mexico.

Guy #2: The Frat Bro

Now this guy we all know much too well. He will be easily identifiable as he will be the one who is wasted, shirtless, and on the prowl by 9 a.m. But, let’s face it, he’s still kind of hot. He will say anything to get your attention, but when he finally does, he'll likely yell at you to take your top off...don’t do it. And please, try and pick a frat guy that does not go to your school.

Guy #3: The Guido
