Did you mean: he never gets on with anyone?

Answer 1

Collins also gives "no comerse un roscO", ie masculine, as exactly the same meaning. Is it the same or is there a slight difference?

Not really, just regional. We say "no comerse una rosca" here in Madrid. - 00494d19, Aug 31, 2009

Answer 2

conxioxa said

nunca se come una rosca -> he never gets off with anyone

Collins gives the following

no comerse una rosca - (no ligar) - to get absolutely nowhere

Now as one of the meanings of "ligar" is to get off with someone or "to pull" someone, I would say your above interpretation is correct.

Answer 3

Not really, con, as to get on with somebody would be:

Llevarse bien con alguien

Answer 4

I would say... he never get along with anyone, but I liked their definition when I read this context:

No comerse una rosca: se dice cuando no consigue nada en las relaciones amorosas y habitualmente se usa in negativa.

some examples:

LLevó tres sábados de discotecas, pero no me como una rosca, ni por casualidad.

Le gustaría tener novia, pero no se come una rosca.
