How to spot a Chapiadora: She only sweet talks you on the 15th and 30th (common paydays). She always looks fancy and puts on a front, but she is totally broke. She never has phone credit and you always have to buy her a refill. She wants you to pay for her nails and the hair salon. Every time you go out she orders the priciest dishes. She is totally done up (often referring to plastic surgery). She flirts with others in front of you but is extremely jealous. Her friends have the same vibe or are known to be Chapiadoras (tell me who you hang with and I will tell you who you are).
A woman who makes a living by exploiting men for their money, typically using her looks or company to get gifts and cash (Dominican slang for a gold digger).
