I'm translating a personal email where someone is introducing themselves, and he says at one point:
"Ja namorei mulheres e carinhas"
Does this mean "I've dated women and guys" or does carinha mean "cute faces" here? I don't know the person I'm translating this for (it's through an agency), so I can't really ask them if they're bissexual or not!

This is very informal, so this may be an option.

"lil guys"
Aparentemente é um email escrito bem informalmente. No que entendi a pessoa já namorou moças e rapazes e se referiu aos "caras" no diminutivo.
Há outras palavras as quais você pode substituir, como "lil fellas", ou simplesmente deixar como boys and girls mesmo, depende do quão formal ou informal você deseja fazer a transcrição.

It seems to be an email written in very colloquial ways. What i see is that the person already had dated girls and boys, and refered to them in diminutive.
There are other words you coulde use, like "lil fellas", os simply let it as "boys and girls", depends on how formal or informal you would like to do your transcription.
