come on, vicente! where's the adventurous spirit! the idea was for you to try and make a guess, or try to find an equivalent... but sandraT has already been so nice as to explain it to you... you may want to comment on it? or can you tell us a similar-meaning saying or find a new one about the subject? (there's a challenge!)

Piense amigo!! No me va a decir que se va a dejar derrotar por las mujeres!!!

Here goes another one for Vicente:

Viejos los cerros, y reverdecen.

I guess you'll easily understand it, but if not, later on I'll try to post that saying in English.

Saludos

I bet you know this one

"Si el joven supiera y el viejo pudiera..."

acá se usa una comparación parecida, con un poco más de mala intención: "entre uno que no sabe y el otro que no se acuerda..." pero más o menos es la idea!
