Hi, I’m Ignacio




Translation: Hello, I am Ignacio, I have been one of the toughest and most macho men for a long time. 
Come with me and you will learn how to be a real man from scratch.

The compliment none asked for




Translation: A real man does not give compliments to a woman, cute little  thing, that red looks soooo good  on you, he says them to a Tecate beer, that's how real men are. Become a real man.

Real men don’t cry… alone, they cry together




Translation: If a real man is sad, he cries alone. If two more men arrive, three will cry. But if three more men arrive, they buy a six-pack. 
This is how real men are. Become one with Tecate.

The NO lotto




Translation: When a woman says no to you, what does she mean? Well, it's a no. And if she says maybe, it's also a no. 
That's how real men are. Become one.

No -Those- packs



Translation:
Real men don't share packs, we share six packs, that's how real men are, become one.
