I have it on good authority from someone who has returned and experienced
*many* milongas in BsAs that most portenoes do not use the codes.  In fact
they approach women as men do so in Australia.  And yes, there are sleazes
amongst them.

The notions of romantic codes have been lost I think upon the modern
generation.
