I was told to say:

Usted tiene una cara con puerco.

......I don't get a lot of dates.

Someone is screwing with you, unless you want to say.. "You have a pig face"

You forgot my all time fav: Cuanto por el taco pestoso?-How much for the stinky taco?

tienes perro empanada?

K cheesetoasto!

Not trying to split hairs or act know-it-all, but I might make a useful point. Someone above said use the phrase, "quieres salir" for "Do you want to leave?" All the textbooks teach the use of "salir" as "to leave," when it is much more common to use "irse" to mean "to leave." I bring this up because I was condescendingly corrected by a chica in HDR once when I asked her, "Cuando vas a salir?" She said sarcastically, "Cuando me voy?" Apparently salir generally means to go out (of a building, for instance) and can mean to come out of a place. Ya me voy. (I'm leaving) Te vas? (Are you leaving?)Vamanos. (Let's leave) Ay chingada!

Reminds me of an incident years ago.......We were young and my friend told me he had a crush on a latin babe at school and he waited to impress her and ask her out so we spent most of the day teaching him how to say "I would love to Phuck you in the ass".

That was exactly the point. Quieres salir = Would you like to leave? I assume you would most likely be talking to her in a building. Salir is to leave. Ir is to go. Vamanos is let's go. And even more commonly it's just said "Vamos."

A more proper way to communicate that would be, "Te gustaria salir para otro lugar?" "Would you like to go somewhere else?"

If she asked cuando me voy she was confirming that you had asked her when she was leaving. I'm not a know it all either but have spent a long time in environments where Spanish was the only language.

Well, she was being absolutely sarcastic/condescending as if I didn't know squat about the language. My take on the subject, based on experience and education is that vamanos means "let's leave" and vamos mens "let's go." Splitting hairs, I know! My main point is that I'm complaining that schools teach salir when they should be teaching irse. None of my hispanic employees use salir unless they're saying something like "saldremos a cenar," "let's go out to eat."

I read a book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, in which the author said something like, "salieron a encontrarse al Papa." "They came out to meet the Pope." Here salir = to come out.

Sin embargo, me puedo equivocar!

LMFAO

Claro que si todos se pueden equivocar pero salir es un verbo que es usado mucho. Tal vez la manera usaste era el problema porque si funciona por todos los partes.

But salir is a very proper verb that is used in all Spanish speaking countries. I am the last one that will start an argument about proper Spanish but I can go anywhere in the world where Spanish only is spoken and survive just fine, not just get by.

Que bueno! Yo tambien y me encanta la habilidad de hablar con las chicas por que me encantan las chicas.

Just might have worked with a Brazilian babe--most common type of birth control there, no?

This could not be more incorrect. I have specifically made a point to prove this during my stay and "Salir" is a lot more common than "Irse" which is the verb "Ir." I have even had a conversation about this with most of the girls I have talked to and all found it quite humorous. Many people here now know me and will concur that my Spanish is pretty much on point. So not to be a smart ass by any means but my advice here was correct. Even in Costa Rican Spanish.
