Spanish term
Conquistadores / Seductoras
Spanish to English
Other
Se trata de un estudio sociológico donde evalúan las características más importantes de hombres y mujeres. Dentro de los hombres mencionan que son conservadores, organizados y CONQUISTADORES y dentro de las mujeres que son muy plásticas, con una predisposición para la multifunción y SEDUCCIÓN.
No me parece que quede bien poner CONQUERORS y SEDUCTION.
CONQUEROR me suena a William The Conqueror y SEDUCTION queda horrible...

Para el hombre,encuentro que "CONQUEROR" es lo más adecuado, con WINNER parece un candidato al Oscar, a menos que quieras poner LADYKILLER, pero suena demasiado ligón barato...
En cuanto a la seducción femenina, que tal CHARM ? aunque tampoco veo que SEDUCTION quede tan mál. Después de todo, ¿no es eso lo que quiere decir el autor del texto?...

womanizers and women who are ..... and play seductress
Una opción. (BTW, "seduction" no suena tan mal en USA, si decidieras usarla).

perdón, porque me ceñí a los términos escritos y no tanto a la definición. ¡¡ahora veo que mis sugerencias no se adapten demasiado bien al contexto!!

out to conquer (seduce)
maybe you could change it round and say they are conservative, organised and enjoy a conquest/out to conquer while women are more into seduction, though it sounds like a load of nonsense to me!

go-getters, acheivers, enterprising // persuasion
I think persuasion could be a good explanation of what they mean for the women here. I am not sure about the men, but I think it means they are more acheivers, go-getters,enterprising.
(not that I necessarily agree, of course!!)

: Yes. The only answer without a sexual connotation. The distinction is between those who tend to try to get their way by imposing (conquest), and those who try to do it through persuasion (seduction).

Casanovas/Don Juans for men sexy, seductive for women
It's very common to say that a man is a real Casanova or Don Juan, if you're not afraid of adapting the text a little bit.

: I think this is the most frequent use I have ever heard, that keeps the original intent.

winners and being seduced
I think winner is OK for conquitador and for the women I would say being seduced...rather than seductress...but I would not avoid the term altogether
Something went wrong...
