Here is the context in the book I'm reading "Mirta y El viejo señor" by Soler-Espiauba:

Qué bueno que encontraste un trabajo. ¿Es serio ese señor don Francisco? Ojo con los hombres, mi niña, que hasta viejos son todos igualitos. El sueldo me parece bueno, claro que seguramente allá la vida está más cara, tú hablas de pesetas, yo pienso en pesos, pero no tienes gastos adicionales de arrienda31 , ni de luz, ni de agua ...

    Creo que es una advertencia sobre la actitud de los hombres (de cualquier edad) con las mujeres, respondiendo a la pregunta sobre la seriedad de Don Francisco.

Ojo con means be careful with, or beware of. So the meaning of that sentence is something like:

Beware of men, my girl. No matter their age they're all alike.

  • Like the salary is too good to be true. He wants something else.

  • @user135711 I see it just as a word of caution in general. The sentence about the salary is entirely positive, I don't see it as related to the previous observation.

  • Yes, reading it more closely, I think the quid pro quo maybe I introduced. Just don't trust men.
