Welcome to the forum Señora/Señorita Nicki!

Literal translation? Please feel free to laugh, it pretty much means to "Want a man". I'm unsure of whether or not there are implications behind that, but this is what the literal translation means.

Questions like this can normally be plugged into our translator, which will do its best to give you an excellent English or Spanish translation.

Thank you!

Hah, just had an epiphany with "Quiero un hombre." vs. "Quiero a un hombre." What a difference this little personal "a" makes sometimes! :) - Manity, Mar 9, 2015

Oh dear... :) :) :) - 00ffada9, Mar 9, 2015

For anyone who does not understand the comment by Manity- it is the difference between I like a certain (specific) man and I want a man, any one will do. ;) - bosquederoble, Mar 9, 2015

Exactly as Manity says. - annierats, Mar 9, 2015

So which means which? - Winkfish, Mar 9, 2015

The personal a makes it a specific man, no personal a leaves it unpersonalized- any man. - bosquederoble, Mar 9, 2015

Not something you want to mess up on, especially not to a recently engaged spouse :) - 00ffada9, Mar 10, 2015

Answer 2

As Manity says, it means you want a man. Any man will do.
