Yes, there is racism in Brazil.

But if anything, it appears to me there is less racism in Brazil -- not more, than here up North. I mean, 6 years ago I wouldn't have been so sure, but oh well.

Anyway, this is my impression after 20 years of traveling to Brazil, but what do I know?

I know, not a laughing matter, but here is a great Porta dos Fundos clip on the topic.

May I suggest we stopped being outraged about racism in Brazil?

Yes, there is racism in Brazil.

But if anything, it appears to me there is less racism in Brazil -- not more, than here up North. I mean, 6 years ago I wouldn't have been so sure, but oh well... Hmmmmmmmm........respectfully, No!

It's NOT going to HAPPEN!

Nice suggestion though and I did give it some thought, but I'm going to have to give it a HARD pass, on your notion.

Outrage? ...No more so than I could stop being incensed and outraged, by the injustice of the targeted attacks of war on the Ukraine, by Russia.

Or for that matter, whatever or wherever, police brutality, racist, discriminatory attacks and/or killings are being exacted upon a targeted group of people, albeit in the flipping "The Congo" (if that just so happens to be a place I monger).

If reputable news and journalists, report news worthy stories, that reflect the places, we hobby in, then I for one, WILL CONTINUE to report said information, as it may (or may not) impact hobbying decisions, preconceived beliefs, concepts or ideas w/r to said destination, thereby making it of use to some members who value multiple socio-economic-political points of views, into the community, culture, society and governing policies of said mongering destination.

What I can tell you is this, that I will endeavour to post in the more appropriate threads. But I'm only human and so prone to occasional slippage from time to time.

Look, police brutality is just one example. It could be "underwater basket weaving" for all I care. I encourage BMs to post ("appropriately") anything news worthy or entertainingly appropriate.

News reports/articles they deem relevant for their intended audiences, as naturally, such things will be liked, disliked, scrutinized, criticized, judged, held up for ridicule, or championed. Such is the nature of our ISG forum.

Don't like it, as always I suggest respectfully, please feel free to IGNORE the "appropriately placed outrages".

Create all the bullshit scenarios you want, if that make you feel better. The actual data on the subject, says otherwise.

57% of Brazilians are Black or mixed, but they make up 80% of the people killed by police.

Yet to see this "vast majority" data you've crooked up, to go alone with the "bunch of random Black dudes. ".What does one have to do with the other? Maybe they do 80% of the fucking up. The only thing being a certain percentage of the population means is that you are a certain percentage of the population; nothing else!

Black people are 13% of the population of the USA. The NBA is 74% Black people. What does that say about anything? Black people spend more time in basketball gyms practicing than Whites, Hispanics, and Asians? The NBA is racist because how could 13% of the population be 74% of the employees at a company except for racism? What does it mean oh wise one?

Half of the Brazilian population have darker skin colour. They make up 62% of the prison population and 78% of those killed by Brazilian police. Considering they make up the majority of the criminals it's not surprising they are also in the majority of those being killed by police.

I've never been robbed in Brazil, but I witnesses many robberies, I can't recall I've seen more than a few lightskinned perpetrators. It could be because the light skinned do other types of crimes. Crimes that doesn't end up in shooting when they get caught. The crime gangs in the favelas are mostly made up of darker guys. When police attack those gangs there is a lot of shooting, and a lot of those guys die.Hi Sperto, I always enjoyed your great pics of the busty sexy cariocas, no matter the color of their skin. I spent two wonderful months in Rio when I left the USAF in late 1985/ early 1986 and got laid so many times I lost count in the termas and just meeting regular girls on Copacabana and the other beaches including a special busty blonde Argentinian of Italian descent that I remain in contact with to this day. One of the things I noticed back then was the preponderance of mixed race couples. I mean ALL races, Black, White, Hispanic, Indian and Asian (lots of Asians in Sao Paulo). I remember thinking "finally a place where there is no racism". I dated quite a few beautiful dark skinned beauties. I happen to be white and German-American descent. The only crime I experienced there was someone stole my headset and cassette player right off my head while I fell asleep on Copacabana beach after a hard night of partying. I have no idea what color their skin is and don't care. I don't doubt your statistics are correct and we have similar stats in the USA if not even more prevalent in the prisons. I don't know why there has to be racism. It is such a stupid thing to me. Anyway thanks to anyone who read my blast from the past. I'm 66 now retired on Negros Oriental Island in the Philippines and contemplating marriage with a beautiful, busty 21 year old Filipina studying to be a physical education teacher. I will always have fond memories of Brasil, tho. Gostaza Brasil.

It must have been great to experience Rio in 1985. My first visit was 1991. Good times, more slimmer girls and much less silicon tits and no enhanced asses.

Of course racism exist in Brazil and those with darker skin color suffers more. However, racism goes both ways. Twice in Brazil I've felt people disliking my "white" color (quite silly to say white as nobody has white skin color, paper is white). The first time was when I was invited to a birthday party at the home of a girl I was dating when studying at PUC. The girl was one of the few black students at PUC (and as a side note she hade huge natural tits, among the best tits I ever seen). I wasn't really interested to go to the birthday party at her home, but as she was very hot and I wanted to take her virginity I sacrificed myself. Everyone at the party were black upper class people, doctors, dentist, lawyers etc. When my GF brought me to the party everyone were polite but obviously not satisfied with her BF being white and also a gringo. The second time was in Salvador. I met a absolutely stunningly beautiful and tall girl. She was very dark black. This girl also lost her virginity to me and was really romantic and wanted to walk hand-in-hand everywhere we went. She caught a lot of attention when walking on the streets. We walked together during the carnival in Salvador. The majority of the the pipoca were black people. Lots of gangs with thug looking guys. I got a lot of really angry looks from those guys who obviously didn't appreciate a white gringo walking together with a very hot black girl.

There was a discussion regarding using cash vs credit card in the São Paulo thread. In Brazil I only use credit card when withdrawing money from ATMs or when buying flight tickets online. Otherwise I never pay anything in Brazil using a credit card.

My reasons for using cash, besides the risk of skimming, are that cash is accepted everywhere and also because you often get a lower price using cash. When I check in at a hotel in Brazil I always negotiate the rate and almost always get a discount, specially when I offer to pay with cash. In privées I don't negotiate the price, but often they have a cheaper price when paying cash.

In Brazil they always had problems giving change. Because of this I always make sure I have between 50-100 bills of 2, 5, 10 and 20 reais bills when travelling in Brazil. You can just enter a bank and change to the bills you want. It might not be useful for those staying one week, but it's very handy if you stay for a longer time.

If you take a stroll around down rua augusta in SP, it is impossible not to to notice that many botecas, lanchonettes and other tiny food spots in consolacao do NOT take cash and only accept debit and credit cards. Indeed it can be kind of a hassle if you prefer to use cash. From my understanding, No cash on hand directly equates to a lower chance of being robbed. I guess it makes sense.

It could be that São Paulo is different from the rest of Brazil (and I do my best to avoid São Paulo). Sidenote: PIX is very popular.

That's a valid point, if you are scared of getting robbed you might want to avoid cash. However, I don't agree that there is a lower risk of getting mugged if you use credit card. The guys that will mug you on the street don't know if you carry cash or not. If they find no cash they might hurt you until you give them your pin code.

I don't worry about being robbed as I use common sense and have a good luck charm. I always divide my cash in two places, large bills hidden inside my shorts / trousers and about 50 reais in small bills in a miniwallet. If I would get robbed I rather loose 50 reais than loosing my credit card.

I took this mean, the stores / restaurants with "no cash on hand" are less likely to be robbed, since the bulk of their payments are electronic / digital, thereby giving any potential bandits, nothing to steal.

It might not be useful for those staying one week, but it's very handy if you stay for a longer time.If Sperto says it, he's providing good advice based upon his vast knowledge and experience. But if I say the same things, I'm removed from reality? A guide a decade old is to be celebrated. But if I cite an article from the year 2022 noting that currently only a quarter of credit card transactions in Brazil are contactless, that's somehow illegitimate because one can post a photo of a street vendor who accepts credit cards (which proves exactly what anyway)?

I point out that the same article states that contactless transactions are growing exponentially in Brazil. If and when it gets to where it is in the States, then I would be willing to use credit cards in Brazil more. But from a pure practical standpoint, I will always be a heavy cash user in Brazil because mostly what I'm buying is buceta and cuzinha, and that's all about cash for gash baby! Oh, but I guess all of Nounce's tutes are accepting payment by contactless credit cards now hahahahaha!

If you like psychopaths, which our friends the hoars often seem to do.

On Google Fi:

The optimal set up is to activate your Google Fi phone inside the USA with a chip AND a eSim.

You can, however, activate the eSim outside the USA through various means, to include at VPN.

I also suggest ordering as many (4 per user) data only SIMS as possible to put in burner phones in Brazil.

I also suggest getting a Brazilian number to use on your NSFW Hoaring in Brazil Whatsapp or Whatsapp Business (Google Pixel phones allow 4 users, each with a whatsapp or whatsapp business, or 8 whatsapp per phone). If you are in need of high security, you might also want to consider taking a pixel phone and installing Graphene OS. That gets into Grey Man kind of areas.

My point is that it's hard to predict how the currency market will react to events. Lula's chances are already priced in and the market often overreacts in advance of an event. Hence, the adage "buy on the rumor, sell on the news".

I agree with you a contested election would be bad for the Real in the short-run. On the other hand, a peaceful transition might be good for the Brazilian Real.

What I heard was that the expectation is that now each candidate is going to pivot towards the center to appeal to more moderate voters, which the market likes.

I cannot explain the recent relative strength of the BRL aside from a commodity driven economy that's benefiting from war in Ukraine and global inflation. Maybe that's enough.

Still, support lines suggest a cross over 6 USD at some point.

Old Polititians love escorts, left and right.

New politicians, like the feminists. They will be very active and will want to ban the scene.

So I guess there won't be big changes, not so fast at least.

Fellow Mongers.

I've been messaging some random girls on whatsapp, an I want to facetime with them. But I can't figure out how to pay these bitches. Is there an app like cashapp or venmo I can download to send the money easily? I usually use Cashapp its pretty easy to use, but this one chick kept mentioning super digital.

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks!!

I'm sure ill get burned by a couple, but in the end ill find a chick sending me pics an facetiming me fucking her friend. An all of this is going to be cheaper then an only fans subscription.

Somehow I got added to a whatsapp group chat in Colombia yesterday. Some chick was selling content.

I had a great time and they will generally understand spanish to a point, more than you'll understand them for sure.

Having said that, the languages are very similar and with a little effort and practice you can fairly easily break the portuguese code, LOL.

Learning spanish was tough because it was my first foreign language.

It just shouldn't be a reason for not going to a place, especially with today's new technologies that can assist. Go. Look. Listen. Learn!

I only have the most basic skills in both Spanish and Portuguese. Well, maybe intermediate-basic in Portuguese. Shame on me because I've been going to Brazil for decades. Just too lazy.

But!

Do you speak the languages of all 40 lands you've been to?

Speaking Spanish in Brazil will make your trip much easier than no Spanish. And Brazil is worth it even to those who don't know a word in Spanish or Portuguese.

Vagabundo posted a Youtube link to free lessons from a Brazilian girl. I listened to a few and liked them. She offers private lessons, too.

And she's a cutie, LOL.

Learning about a country and city (strongly recommend Rio for your first-time visit) is all about reading. Then take a few free walking tours upon arrival. Done.

Simply put, Brazil is more enjoyable than Colombia, and I've been to (and liked) Colombia. Just not as much.

I guess it comes down to going out of the comfort zone vs easy street. Keep investing in what I know works for me and is easy: Spanish speaking Colombia or see if Brazil is what I get in Medellin but even better.

Safety, food (I'm veggie), pussy, costs, communication, figuring out where to go are my primary concerns at the moment. This board is a huge help!

Sao Paulo is more expensive than Bogota. Can't really say USA is more expensive than France if you are comparing LOS Angeles and Grasse.

At this moment: I can afford Colombia--not sure I can afford Brazil.Are you talking yourself out of Brazil already? I would say do a little more research and try to understand Brazil better.

There are generally two reasons guys prefer Brazilian hookers over Colombian hookers. You will find a wider variety of women in Brazil. More importantly, Brazilian hookers are the most passionate and sexual in the world. You can find Brazilian girls who are far more adventurous. I personally might add that you will find the most incredible asses in Brazil. Many of them natural.

As far as cost, you can find cheaper venues and cheaper lodging. What you want to spend is really up to you. If you read about Scandallo here, we are talking about a world class mongering establishment in a large megalopolis. If the price seems high, don't go to Scandallo. As far as airfare, nothing anyone can do about that. Brazil is much farther away than Colombia.

Some guys prefer a Gringo Gulch environment where the mongering scene is concentrated and caters to tourists. Nothing wrong with that. The drill in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is basically walk out the door of your lodging and grab an Uber to your mongering destination in another part of the city. Nothing wrong with that either.

Sao Paulo is an exciting, metropolitan city with great food and nightlife. Rio de Janeiro is a gorgeous coastal city which is a top tourist destination aside from mongering. Think of Rio's urban beaches with sexy Brasileiras running around in thong bikinis. Colombia really has no place like either.

For reference, my crude Portuguese was picked up with some minimal effort from some books and tapes. I get by. You don't need to speak Portuguese, but it helps to know some basic phrases.

Having said all this, we had a guy awhile back who went through all these questions and discussions for a couple weeks and in the end he just went to the Dominican Republic. Brazil is not for everyone and I think you should be able to figure that out just by reading the SP and Rio threads.

First time going to Brazil in March and was wondering what's the deal with casas?

Is it like a German style brothel where you just walk in and the girls have their own rooms? When meeting a girl from photoacompanhantes, do you go to her place or is it more advisable to invite to a hotel?

Is there some kind of interactive map with hotspots of these type of things? Like they have for Colombia on the other forum?

Also is there more European style establishments like gangbangs, glory holes, peep shows, strip clubs etc?

Thanks.

As for passionate and sexual, you can find them in Colombia too. It's a numbers game but there are so many available at lower price so you can find them even at lower percentage.

One thing I noticed is that when I click "Me localize", then precise distances show up. There are always a majority of adds that are at exactly the same distance (e. G. "2. 5 km".

My theory is that the same person is posting all these adds constantly.

Here's a script (thanks to ChatGDP) that will remove those adds. YMMV, I can't guarantee that all fake adds are removed (duh! Nor that only fake adds are removed. This is "AS-IS", etc.

Cheers to all the friends in the forum.

Back on July I used the above ATM at a Manaus Mall. The next day I realized that the ATM gave me an exchange rate of about R4. 70 per US $ when the exchange rate was about R5. 25 per US $. I was furious because this sneaky Brazilians ATMs should pay the commercial rate but they don't, and screw us tourist.

Not to mention that in 2021 I went to an ATM of the same Banco 24 horas at the Cardenal Arcoverde metro station in Rio. I wanted to withdraw R1,000. The f. Ing machine showed me a 15% fee! Obviously I canceled the damn transaction. However, my account got charged $191. I fought the charge with my American bank, they said that the Brazilian ATM company has opened an inquiry about a possible ATM malfunction. The ATM technician reported that the ATM machine was operating fine. As a consequence I got robbed my money!

My experience is that at Banco do Brasil and BRADESCO they abide by the oficial rate at the time of transaction.

However, I had very bad experiences with BANCO 24 horas.

Can anyone give me tips about which ATMs use and which ATMs avoid? Is it that Brazilian banks are allowed not to follow international exchanges rates?

Any similar experiences? Please advice.

Any similar experiences? Please advice.This is because at some point during the transaction you answered "I accept" instead of answering "I reject". What you reject is the (crappy) ATM's exchange rate. After you reject, the transaction goes ahead and you'll be debited at the Visa/Master rate by your bank.

ATM fees are another independent issue. I've used Bradesco as they don't charge any ATM fees.

What I can't fathom is why so many guys keep screwing around with PA when there are so many other better online options (do a search and RTFF). Thrill seekers who like to live on the edge I guess.The site is not search friendly there are thousands of posts. It would probably help if there was a single post or thread with sites that others have used and would recommend.

On my recent trip, which was with a few friends the following sites were used and I can confirm that what you see is what what you are likely to get. The photos are touched up, but 90% accurate in most cases esp the profiles with video.

We pulled girls from these sites in Rio, SP and Florianopolis.

Now I put cash in Uber Cash for times that Uber has problem charging my card. I had to switch to cash recently because Uber had problem charging my card, then said I owed money for the trip despite I requested and paid in cash. Uber did cancel the charge after I contacted them but Uber cash solve this problem. I know sometimes they will still let me request a ride without payment but not this time.

The other day I paid cash for a mousse from a street vendor. It was are $7. The vendor gave me are $42 back, then proceed to fill my cup for the are $1 that he could not give me.

Thrill seekers who like to live on the edge I guess.I love PA. I had a session the other day with a massage chick downtown on 13 de Maio. I was about to ask her to marry me. There are plenty of ads with ratings. Just go to one of those. If you see somebody with glamour shots and no rating then you may want to question those. But the chicks that have normal pictures and ratings always blow my mind.

Thrill seekers who like to live on the edge I guess.What I can't fathom is whatever you got in your head, dude. Photoacompanhates is the standard for escort services in Brazil. It has the largest amount of ads, with the best set of filters, and it offers verified photos as well. Its operated by Truvalia Classifieds who operate sister sites for escorts Latin America, with portals in Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, the DR and I believe Chile as well. I can't remember them all. Thrill seekers who like to live on the edge? Is that what you call getting laid in Brazil? It has nothing to do with thrill seeking. BTW, wasn't it you who wrote about how you liked to go the trash prives looking for bargains over on the Rio forum, recently?

But what do you mean by RTFF? Do you mean "Read the fuckin' FICTION"? Because that's what I am seeing a lot of. Better yet, just tell me please what are the "better online options"? Telling people to do their research online is just a losing online argument. Its means you don't have a better answer, plain and simple. So you put the burden on the other party to disprove your ignorance.

I have been using PA along with GP Guia since I first visited Brazil in 2019. I am now returning or my 6th trip and can honestly say that it has been easy to use and accurate since I first set foot in Sao Paulo. Finding legitimate ads in PA only requires looking for escorts with positive reviews in online journals or looking for ads with VERIFIED PHOTOS. Use it in conjunction with GPguia and other punter sites like GP Arena is a good set of resources for the outsider to work with. Using the filters is incredibly easy. It's not rocket science. And to prove I'm not just talking out of my ass like some people I am posting my passport stamps for my previous trips to Brazil. Nobody else seems able to do that, I've noticed.

But when you top-up Uber Cash, Uber still needs to charge your credit card. Back to square one if Uber starts hating your credit card. Of course I guess once you manage to get a substantial amount onto Uber Cash, you have a buffer against credit card failure. I'll try it out next time. Uber never went on accepting my credit card beyond 6 weeks into my stay. I cannot understand why a company keeps screwing its most solvent customers in this way. One reason I'd never buy Uber stocks.

But when you top-up Uber Cash, Uber still needs to charge your credit card. Back to square one ....That is true but I am using it as a backup when credit card fails. Uber has a habit of making Uber Cash default so I now put more money into it and let it charge from Uber Cash.

I have been using iFood. One thing to know is there is no standard payment method on iFood. It depends on the vendor. The most reliable method is to find a vendor who will accept credit card or cash on delivery, then you will have 100% success rate ordering.

This is not a complain. Just some situations that I ran into that some may encounter and you may be able to avoid it after reading it.

I decided to cook steak so I ordered a bunch or ingredients from a grocery store. Unfortunately, the steak was out of stock so the delivery came without the main ingredient which made it useless. I ordered again the next day from the same store but they didn't accept my credit card that they accepted just a day before. So I ordered from another grocery store but my order was stuck and was not delivered. I didn't want to double order so I waited until I figured out how to cancel it. I ordered again from the first store and this time they accepted my credit card. I missed something so I canceled the order and made another order but they refused to take my card again. Then I managed to get a friend to buy iFood Cash for me. I used iFood Cash to order from the first store again. This time, the store took money out of my iFood Cash but declined my payment. I basically wasted hours on ordering from iFood. I did eventually managed to get everything in person and much cheaper. LOL

I was told by United only a vaccine card. No test needed anymore.My last trip in December I flew United and filled out their pre trip checklist. My vaccination status is on their site so maybe that had something to do with getting through. However at immigration they just asked what I was there for and I said vacation. My passport was stamped and I went merrily on my way.

Links to the good sites have been posted here time and time again, but too many people don't want to spend any of their time researching. They want you to spend your valuable time doing it for them. Even when you try to tell their lazy asses they don't want to listen! And senior mongers here with lots of knowledge and experience get tired of that. And speaking of RTFF, I think yes you need to do quite a bit more of that because I have never been a fan of trash prives, I have never said that here or anywhere, and I don't patronize them ever.

Never tried MClass, but most Barra VIPs girls start at 500 and don't do down easily. I've had some good encounters on PA and some flaky ones, but yes, it's better to deal with verified and reviewed girls.

May I add that looking at who posts the TDs is also important. If a girl has only a few positive reviews from guys posting once or twice that can be a problem. When a reviewer has quite a few reviews, it speaks volumes.

I have often seen a hot escort's Gpguia reviews go down hill after she has some initially good reviews. There are some young women who aren't cut out for escorting who want to make some quick cash.

Your answer is right there. In my experience, it's better to discuss if it's a dealbreaker for you. Very difficult to summarize an entire country, let alone a single venue or agency.

Also, some guys are 1 shot per day(s), while others like multiple per day.

Most places in SP offer half hour as well.

Anyone have any luck with those types of services?If it works anywhere in SA, that's Brazil. I had girls who asked me to slap them on the face during sex. I'm very sheepish about these kinds of things though, but when they're in the moment, it can work. Brazilian girls are very accommodating, so I wouldn't be surprised if they let you cross the boundaries for the right price or just for fun.

Come to think of it, PhotoAcompanhantes has filters for special services like sado duro and sado suave, so there is obviously a market for this.

I've got an opportunity to fly to SA this year and thinking of making a pit stop in Brazil. I'm looking for girls on the more submissive GFE side that might be down for it on the rougher side. I'm trying to live out some Brandon Irons Slap Happy fantasies here. Would I have any luck in Brazil? Feels like something I could probably do in SEA (Thailand / PI) but would prefer Brazil or Colombia since I'll already be there and SEA is far. Anyone have any luck with those types of services?There's something to be found for everybody. You just have to ask until you find her. I had a Brazilian girl in Rio (at a termas) sit down next to me and say that she wanted me to slap my dick in her face, pull her hair, and fuck her in the ass. And who was I to refuse?

Hey guys I'm 22 and could use some advice. So as you guys may or may not know, the dating scene in the US is really bad. I and an online friend of mine around my age have struggled heavily and wanted to use escorts to deal with it but unfortunately escorts in the US are just way too expensive for me and aren't worth it. I currently am making 5-6 k a month running an online business and the dilemma I've been facing is whether I should try and use my income to move overseas completely and p4 p or if I should stay in the US and just travel overseas? The only thing is if I stay in the US and only travel overseas every now and then I feel like I will still be miserable due to living in the US. What do you think is the best course of action for someone in my situation to take? I've completely lost interesting in American women as well as the dating market here and don't have the energy to try ever again. It's really that bad here.

Are you independent as in you don't mind seeing your friends and family often? (If you move to Brazil, I bet your male friends will come visit) Do you make new friends very easy? Can you adjust to a new culture and new environment?

The best thing to do is book an Airbnb for two months in a good area and try it out. There's no reason to make a big commitment. Vacationing for a week or two in Brazil is obviously fun, but vacationing is not the reality of life somewhere.

You are a young man, now is the time to head out and see what he world has to offer you!

Only suggestion I would make would be to consider either Thailand or Philippines before Brazil, unless time zones are a key consideration. Your money will go a little further in these places, English is more widely spoken, they are safer and they have larger expat communities and digital nomad communities too. Think of both these countries as starter mode. After that, then I would give Latin America a try. There is also a bit more flexibility with things like visas, and Asia offers a bit more travel wise too. You are never more than 4-5 hours away from most major Asian cities, and they are all amazingly different.

Also don't discount regular women when you live in any of these countries either. Mongering makes sense when you have a short amount of time on the ground, or you are a bit older and don't have time for the bullshit when it comes to chasing younger women. Or when you have a girl but want a bit of action on the side. However you could be 22 or 52, living in these countries is going to give you access to some amazing women who are going to be far more appreciative than the spoiled cunts you are sick of dealing with. You are way too young to be throwing the towel in on women, you just need to change your environment and leverage the strength of your currency.

You are in a good position. Trust me there are retired expats in Asia who wish they had that sort of monthly income.

Hi VloneCarti, with US $3000 a month you can live as mid-high class depending of the country. In Brazil no doubds mid class. In Argentina, Peru and Colombia you'd be in in the upper class with all that each society can offer you. Brasil, Argentina and Colombia have gorgeous women to date and f*k. Peru and Chile have gorgeous women but they have hundreds of guys waiting for them.

Argies are crazy girls! (the most psiconalized society in the south America), I've worked with tens of models from Argentina and Brazil (you can view my reports and I can show you our sites with productions). Meanwhile brazilians midclass and lower tend to be more family girls. You can ask the ISGers how many times they have been offered marriage after 1 month dating.

The thing may be culture and language. How good are you speaking and writing new latin laguages (spanish and portuguese) ?

To be honest, I only know very little Spanish and that's from the 2 years I took it in high school. I plan on learning Spanish again December of this year then will spend the next 2 years learning Spanish and once I'm fluent in it will then travel overseas. So right now I'm pretty much just stacking my money up as much as possible so that in 2 years I will have more than enough to go overseas.

My only issue with Asia is a couple things. For starters, Asian women aren't really my type physically to be honest. I just prefer Latinas a lot more. I do agree that Thailand or Philippines would be a lot better for me to visit first since they are a lot safer than Latin America and they speak English. My other issue is how far / long the plane rides are. From US to Asia it seems the flights are over 20 hours long. I've never been on a flight that long before and sounds quite exhausting to be on a plane for that duration. If Asia was a lot closer by and the women were my type then I would love to go more. I still do plan on visiting Thailand or Asia in general but I don't think it will be as much as Latin America due to those reasons.

Hi all, I am visiting SP from the USA. First time ISG, but frequent on USASG. I do not speak Porto, but am fluent in Spanish. I don't expect to understand much Porto, but am hoping the Spanish can at least give me a sense of language.

Spending just under a week in SP. I've tried to do my research on this board and have read the past 10 pages. I think the user I quote below has me on a good lead. Can anyone confirm these two locations? Will I be okay as a non-Porto speaker? I was planning on getting a hotel nearby, is that a good decision in that neighborhood, or should I get somewhere in Pinheiros and Uber?

As much as I want to do Scandallo, I'm more inclined for the cost-efficient option, as I'll be coming from a long week in Sao Luiz / Lencois Maranhenses so would like to save cash where I can. From my understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong, this is just based off my research on this forum), I can expect to spend about $50 BRL on a room, and then however much a girl will charge.

Any help, direction, or even confirmation of information, would be appreciated.Just returned from Brazil. I speak ok Porto and on my trip was surprised to discover that upon hearing me speak many Brazilians, including girls tried to switch to Spanish apparently mistaking me for the Spanish speaker. I mean my Spanish is ok but my Portuguese is much better but just based on this you should be able to communicate in Brazil.

Be aware though that it's mostly one way relationship between Spanish and Portuguese speakers. Portuguese is hard on unaccustomed ear. I sometimes refer to it as a 'lazy language'. Brazilians would be able to understand your Spanish much more than you their Portuguese.

Also, we'd love to hear your report on Sao Luiz and I know that I personally would love to know your take on Lencois Maranhenses which I'm considering visiting on my next trip. DM me on that if you can, or post here.

After reading all the positive posts on the ISG, I wanted to check by myself about mongering in Brazil.

4 days in SP and 4 days in Rio is not much but enough to have a glimpse.

I am fluent in spanish but not in portuguese so I had to use google translate all the time in spite of some knowledge of portuguese.

The daytime action is not great as lets say in Medellin.

And I could not find any decent street girls.

The clinicas are a good option but they are not that cheap and the girls I seen did not turn me on.

The prives are cheap but are exhausting to find.

I went to 4 x4 in Rio and liked it; Same as HKG in Tijuana, but less expensive.

Villa mimosa is OK but not as good as I expected and only at night.

The upside of Brazil is diversity; you find all types of women.

Downside is the distance to US and mediocre daytime action. They also will establish a visa requirement for Americans starting October.

Conclusion; will I return? Probably not unless I have something else to do there. I'd rather go to Peru instead that have cheap "chongos".

If I am somewhere and start speaking to someone in one of the other languages I speak, they don't even listen, but instead reply I don't speak English. I guess they take one look at me and figure he is American, there is no remote way he could be speaking to me in my language. I say does it sound like I am speaking English?

Arrived at 1 am, 50 R to enter and a very good band was playing. The place is quite small with a pole in the middle and seating around the edges. Very smokey inside.

It was pretty packed with about 15-20 girls. They are not aggressive here from my observation but per usual a nice variety of flavors. It seems like more of a locals place because every girl I talked to got scooped by her regular, which is understandable. I did notice 2 transformers so other reports I've read here seem to be spot on.

As a first time visit to Barra, it was enjoyable so will definitely return since its a quick ride from Leblon.

Also, we'd love to hear your report on Sao Luiz and I know that I personally would love to know your take on Lencois Maranhenses which I'm considering visiting on my next trip. DM me on that if you can, or post here.Lencois Maranhenses is a bona fide wonder of the world and I highly recommend visiting it for everyone. The problem is that the rain patterns are unpredictable every year. While the lagoons usually get filled mid-summer, guest houses get filled much earlier so you need to do the booking well ahead. Mid-August is normally safe, though.

The travel infrastructure around Lencois is still very underdeveloped, but that's a great thing. Enjoying the park without the crowds is priceless. You can only enter with a Jeep tour, but the tours were extremely cheap in 2019.

There are three points of entry from what I remember, but I strongly recommend staying at Santo Amaro. It's the village right next to the park, about 10 minute ride.

Getting there from Sao Luiz is a hassle -- 4+ hours by 4 x4, but it's totally worth it. PM if you want the contact of a tour guide who does the tours there if he's still in business, of course.

The daytime action in Rio is fantastic if you're willing to walk the walk. I don't get it why you couldn't find Rio prives; there are dozens of reviews with addresses here and hundreds on Gparena. If prives are not to your liking, there are termas, incalls and outcalls too -- all available in daytime.

4 x4 is 1000 times better than HK in Tijuana. Seriously, it's an affront to Brazil punters to even try to compare that thieving, hardcore, tip-extracting joint with 4 x4 -- the temple of hard-work hooking, LOL.

Lima (as much as I loved the food there) is vastly inferior to Rio in almost all regards, but if you enjoy a Trocadero scene, then yes, Rio doesn't have a brothel of that scale. Then again, walking between multiple prives in Centro buildings is not totally unlike strolling through Trocadero in a search of a proverbial gem.

You might want to consider giving it a longer try for your own sake, LOL.

RIO DE JANEIRO / Washington, May 5 (Reuters) - The USA Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director last year told senior Brazilian officials that President Jair Bolsonaro should stop casting doubt on his country's voting system ahead of the October election, sources told Reuters.

The previously unreported comments by CIA Director William Burns came in an intimate, closed-door meeting in July, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Burns was, and remains, the most senior USA Official to meet in Brasilia with Bolsonaro's right-wing government since the election of USA President Joe Biden.

A third person in Washington familiar with the matter confirmed that a delegation led by Burns had told top Bolsonaro aides the president should stop undermining confidence in Brazil's voting system. That source was not certain whether the CIA director himself had voiced the message.

The CIA declined to comment. Brazil's Institutional Security Cabinet (GSI), which is part of the president's office and led by National Security Adviser Augusto Heleno, said in a statement that the Burns meeting had been publicly announced.

"The matters dealt with in intelligence meetings are confidential," it said. "The GSI does not receive messages from any country in the world, nor does it transmit them. ".

Later, in a weekly social media address, Bolsonaro and Heleno denied such a message had been delivered.

"That conversation about elections never happened," Heleno said.

Burns arrived in Brasilia six months after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol following former USA President Donald Trump's election loss.

Bolsonaro, a far-right nationalist who idolizes Trump, has echoed the former USA Leader's baseless allegations of fraud in the 2020 USA Election. He has also cast similar doubts about Brazil's electronic voting system, calling it liable to fraud, without providing evidence. Read more.

That has raised fears among his opponents that Bolsonaro, who is trailing leftist former President Luiz Inacio Lula the Silva in opinion polls, is sowing doubts so he can follow Trump's example, rejecting any loss in the Oct. 2 vote.

On multiple occasions, Bolsonaro has floated the idea of not accepting the results, and has repeatedly attacked the country's federal electoral court. Last week, in his latest broadside, Bolsonaro, a former army captain, suggested the military should conduct its own parallel ballot count alongside the court.

Advertisement · Scroll to continue.

Two of the sources warned of a potential institutional crisis if Bolsonaro were to lose by a narrow margin, with scrutiny focused on the role of Brazil's armed forces, which ruled the country during a 1964-85 military government that Bolsonaro celebrates.

During his unannounced trip, Burns, a career diplomat nominated by Biden last year, met at the presidential palace with Bolsonaro and two senior intelligence aides. Heleno and Alexandre Ramagem, then-head of Brazilian intelligence agency Abin. Both were Bolsonaro appointees.

Burns also dined at the USA Ambassador's residence with Heleno and Bolsonaro's then-Chief of Staff Luiz Eduardo Ramos, both former generals. Brazil's military has historically enjoyed close ties with the CIA and other USA Intelligence services.

At the dinner, according to one of the sources, Heleno and Ramos sought to dismiss the significance of Bolsonaro's repeated allegations of voter fraud. In response, the source said, Burns told them that the democratic process was sacred, and that Bolsonaro should not be talking in that way.

"Burns was making it clear that elections were not an issue that they should mess with," said the source, who was not authorized to speak publicly. "It wasn't a lecture, it was a conversation. ".

In a letter dated Sept. 2, sent by Heleno to Brazilian lawmaker Luciano Bivar, the national security adviser said he was present at the dinner hosted by the USA Ambassador. In the letter, posted on the website of the lower house of Congress, Heleno said it was a "courtesy event and, naturally, took place with informal conversations on topics of mutual interest between Brazil and the United States of America. ".

BIDEN ENVOY.

It is unusual for CIA directors to deliver political messages, the sources said. But Biden has empowered Burns, one of the most experienced USA Diplomats, to be a low-profile mouthpiece for the White House.

Last month, for example, Burns said in a public address that in November, four months after visiting Brasilia, Biden dispatched him to Moscow "to convey directly to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and several of his closest advisers the depths of our concern about his planning for war, and the consequences for Russia" if they proceeded. Read more.

The tenor of his comments in Brasilia was reinforced the month after his trip, when USA National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan visited Bolsonaro and raised similar concerns about undermining trust in elections. However, the Burns delegation's message was stronger than Sullivan's, the Washington-based source said, without elaborating. Read more.

"It is important that Brazilians have confidence in their electoral systems," a USA State Department official said in a statement when asked for comment, adding that the United States is confident of Brazil's institutions, including free, fair and transparent elections.

On Saturday, however, in a fresh sign of disquiet among some of Washington's foreign policy establishment, the most recent USA Consul in Rio wrote in a Brazilian newspaper that the United States should make it clear to Bolsonaro that any effort to undermine elections would trigger multilateral sanctions. Read more.

Biden and Bolsonaro have yet to speak.

During the 2020 USA Presidential campaign, the two clashed over Bolsonaro's environmental record, and he was one of the last world leaders to recognize Biden's victory over Trump.

Officials in Washington have sought to improve ties with Brasilia in recent weeks, and the presidents of the two largest nations in the Western Hemisphere may soon meet in person if Bolsonaro attends June's Summit of the Americas in LOS Angeles.

Does anyone know how to minimize the side effects of Viagra or Cialis?

Last time I tried Cialis I had a headache, heartburn, and a little bit of a red face. What are your tricks to better these things, and are the things you use to counter these side effects available in Brazil?

It used to be my go-to ED pill because to me it also worked like an aphrodisiac, but my Dr. Told me to stop. I have no idea if you even can to counter side effects, but you shouldn't ignore what your body is trying to tell you.

Viagra simply does its job. Sometimes I might have a little headache afterwards, but nothing serious.

Different people will have different side effects or none at all.

You may also consider choosing an airline with more scheduled flights for the day after your departure time.That is a good point. More flights reduces the risk of missing connection greatly. I missed it once at GRU at 5 PM and was able to buy another ticket for a later flight from another airline.

Buying ticket in Brazil can be immensely frustrating sometimes. I already guessed based on past experience that the price may jump very quickly. It happed again this time. It would be cheaper for me to just to buy both tickets and research later LOL. Despite that I did not wait long to buy it, the price jumped more than 200% while I was trying to finish my transaction at already higher price. I did not get error but just something unknown not working that prevented me from going further. I will keep it short. I ended up using a 3rd party booking site and everything I clicked ended up being sold out. I did get my ticket for a few days later.

Why is anal sex so prevalent in Brazil? Is there an ass tax generally when P4 P?

Why is anal sex so prevalent in Brazil? Is there an ass tax generally when P4 P?I used to when I first started going to Brazil. Why so much butt fucking in Brazil? Answers were offered by some, but none proved satisfactory to me. A popular answer was due to Brazil being a Catholic country. Well Colombia and the Philippines are heavy Catholic too, but no such prevalence of buggery. At some point a connoisseur should simply stop asking why and just do it! My god. Fucking all of those pretty brancas and morenas straight dead up the butt! Why ask why? Anal connoisseurs just do it! Salute!

The income and class disparatey is massive in Brazil. The lesser class has always been essentially fuck toys for upper class elites. Hell how do think Brazil got so "mixed".

Once it's all the way in let it rest. Maybe finger her anus deep with lube before while she stimulates her vageena.

Once she is eased up have her play more with her vageena while you are in her anus deep.

Then you will know it's great because she will scream that she loves it in her asshole. It's then that you know you have won.

Go real slow and be patient and maybe pull out your wang and check out her gape and go back in. Do that every so often. Let her anuse pulse.

Hi guys, goin to Brasil for the first time, arriving in Sao Paulo Sept. 21 and leaving Oct 4. I heard that the visa waiver ends on Sept 30 and visa requirements start Oct 1.

Arriving will be no problem, but leaving after Oct 1st will there be any problems? Lot of sites and news across the internet say it will be ok if you arrive before Oct 1st and leave afterwards. Any solid info that is true would help.

As you point out, it takes patience. My junk isn't big, but the girth is more impressive than the length. But even once you get in that groove, I was enjoying the thought more than the physical pleasure. The girl's sphincter is almost too tight and then inside, it feels more cavernous than normal vaginal sex. Again, I'm probably average size at best.

Sorry for the graphic nature. But my opinion, I can take it or leave it.

I'm reading a lot about problems finding GF hotels. Some suggest motels for a short-time fuck, book a double room or book two rooms. I don't say they are bad advices but I wouldn't do it. I have stayed in hotels and pousadas in 79 different cities in Brazil and I always managed to bring girls back to my hotel.

My strategy is simple. I find a nice looking hotel in a good location. I ask to see the room and then I negotiate the price, almost 100% of the hotels will lower the price specially if you pay cash. Before I fill in the check-in form I ask if it's OK if a friend visits me. The answers will be one of these:

1. No problem, no extra fee even if she spend the night as long as she doesn't eat breakfast.

2. No problem, no extra fee as long as she just stay for a few hours.

3. No problem, but they will charge a "cama-extra"-fee. A small fee for an extra bed (even though there is no extra bed).

4. No guest allowed whatsoever. This answer is very rare. Then I go to another hotel.

If I against all odds ends up in a hotel / pousada that doesn't allow guests or if I want to avoid paying an extra fee there are solutions.

1. If you already have your key just pretend it's raining and walk straight to the elevator with your girl.

2. Tell the receptionist you and your guest are just going up to your room very quickly to. Invent anything. Try out some beverage or food you brought from home / give her a present you brought to her. Use your fantasy. As they say in Brasil "cara de pau".

3. Smaller hotels and pousadas sometimes have no night staff as the guests have their own key. As easy as pie to bring girls.

4. In smaller cities the hotels might only have a receptionist who sleeps on duty. Just sneak by. Once in Natal the night receptionist was a blind lady. Me and my friend walked by her with new girls every evening.

5. If there is only one guy in the reception, make him leave the reception and let your girl sneak by. Ask to buy a cold drink if they are stored in a back room or ask for extra toilet paper.

It's important to be nice and friendly with receptionists. Have friendly talks with the receptionists, specially the ones who works at night. They might skip any extra fees. In Fortaleza I brought a very hot regular girls. The hotel was very strict about guests and my girl had forgot her ID. The receptionist could loose his job if he let her visit my room. Instead he told me she could visit the roof terrace where we had a lovely fuck with a great view. In a hotel in Salvador the night receptionist never charged any fees. He noticed I brought non-pro girls every night, sometimes twice at a time. As I tried to help him hook up with my GFs friends he didn't care to charge any fees.

Another approach is to stay in a motel. In Manaus I stayed for weeks in a superclean and nice motel next to Teatro Amazonas. I could brings as many girls as I wanted. The female receptionists even encouraged me to bring more girls. They only complained once when I brought a bit heavy girl with giant tits I just had met on the street, they told me the girls wasn't up to my standard.

Renting apartment is also a great solution. I never stayed in an apartment that didn't allow guests.

Conclusion, avoid problems with hotels by getting to an agreement about the rules and fees about bringing guests. Always use your fantasy when bringing back girls.

Wouldn't work for most of us. And not everywhere. Plus people rarely start looking for accommodations after rolling into town. I've done that, especially in small towns, but that's not a common trend.

Here are more examples.

1 and 2. Hilton Leme security have eagle eyes. There are two entrances to the elevators. They've caught me twice right at the elevators even when it was super busy and I used the entrance further away.

3. Wouldn't work in bigger hotels. They'll very politely ask her to stay in the lobby while your run your errand.

4 and 5: I suspect that most receptionists aren't blind and most mongers don't like any kind of uncertainty. What if I don't succeed in sneaking a girl in? Do I need a plan be? But if I always must have a plan be, it's easier to just proceed to plan be and avoid the aggravation.

That being said, my favorite hotels in Rio: Hilton Copa and Grand Hyatt do allow guests after filling out a long form, so there is that. Hyatt is asking them not use common areas, Hilton does not. And, by the way, there are plenty of vacation rentals, both in Rio and Salvador (and I suspect elsewhere) that won't allow guests. It's not uncommon.

Any thoughts?This is a very good question and hopefully many members chime in (if anything just posts an age)! So I'm Game .........

I am assuming your addressing the Solo Monger. If you travel with a partner or in groups, your group may insulate you against detrimental (opportunistic) situations / issues / problems.

On an individual (Solo Monger) basis it really depends on your assessment of your mind and body.

Mind Am I sharp or forgetful? Can I think fast or is my mental capacity (although good) slowing down? Can I handle stressful situations? Am I losing a step and got scammed or a provider {s) stole from me without me noticing? Can I get myself out of an environment or situation that is rapidly deteriorating or out of my control? How well can I control issues / situations? Am I unknowingly putting myself in compromising positions that could cause me Injury or endanger my life? (Ask yourself critical questions to truthfully assess your mental health status and your ability to maintain above average Situation Awareness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situation_awareness).

Body Am I physically in good to moderate shape? Do I need assistance in certain situations? Can I move fast enough to avoid attackers? If confronted by an attacker, can I defend myself? Do I tire easily? Do I have medical condition (s) that can turn negative without notice? Can I readily evac to a medical facility if my health suddenly deteriorates? Am I subject to injury? Does my plumbing work sufficiently to enjoy myself or am I working too hard or at the mercy of pharmaceuticals? If pharmaceuticals are needed, is it compromising my health in other areas? (Ask yourself critical questions to truthfully assess your body / physical health status and your ability to enjoy Mongering).

"Take, for example, the African jungle, the home of the cheetah. On whom does the cheetah prey? The old, the sick, the wounded, the weak, the very young, but never the strong. Lesson: If you would not be prey, you had better be strong."
-G. Gordon Liddy

Overall, it's an individual's assessment of tier abilities when traveling alone.

Ok, after all that I say between 65-70 With a strong penchant for 65. But hey, look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, born on July 30,1947 (age 76) on observation he looks like he can still handle himself. I don't know? All I know I'm still going strong despite my elderly status.

I'd love to bring back some company but not entirely necessary. Any info would be appreciated, TIA.I visited a friend staying at JW once. It's a perfectly good GF hotel in excellent location, although not to the normal JW standards and with tiny standard rooms. Both JW and Hilton have seen better days. I prefer Hilton for the following reasons:

1. Even the lowest fare puts you in an ocean-view room.

2. They have 2 pools. When the rooftop is full, the one next to the restaurant still usually has space.

3. Gold elites get free breakfast and it's easy to get Gold with a credit card (not sure about the lounge access nowadays, but it used to be the case).

Of all these benefits, I value the ocean view the most. The lowest fare at JW buys you a view of nothing.

Any thoughts?Hugh Hefner never retired. He died in his 80's. If he didn't have access to young women, then he would have stopped way before. I knew a guy in his early 60's who didn't monger, so he checked out of sex. Never shaved his face for years. Beard like ZZ Top. Didn't care about his appearance, because in my opinion, he wasn't attracted to old women and was against hookers. He used to bust my balls for going to Mexico or wherever.

I had another friend I worked with that committed suicide at 59. He couldn't get young women anymore and didn't know what to do with himself other than work and bet sports.

That being said, I was recently in Hawaii and saw this guy in the lobby with his surfboard getting ready to walk to the beach. He was in his late 60's but his body was like a 25 year old with a Six pack. He surfed in retirement. I realized then we all need to retire in a beach mongering destination so we can all surf or boogie board in the day and monger at night. Brazil seems to be the best spot for that.

I'm flying in early from SP to Rio in OCT and going to book one night there so I can just drop the bags off and start enjoying rio. Booking an airbnb for the rest of the trip.

Does anyone know if it's GF friendly or not? Grand hyatt is usually pretty flexible but I will be staying with a buddy and I have it booked for two people. Sometimes they just charge 150 BRL to let them stay at least in SP but idk in barra. If anything I can get a love motel room for 150 BRL in rio but if I can have a girl over for an hour or two that would be ideal as it's in a suite.

If you like the white brazilian girls with european features than Rio grande do sul or santa catarina is your best bet.

If you like the darker brazilian girls with african features than Bahia is your place.

I like the whiter girls so I like going to SP but go to Rio for the more relaxed environment.

My friend on the other hand likes the darker girls so he loves rio but he will go to SP just purely on the more upscale airbnbs and the more amount of girls that SP has to offer than RJ.

What do you guys think is the appropriate age to retire from the hobby? I know some on this site have fessed up to being in their 70's. When is the right time to hang it all up so to speak? Any thoughts?I'm in my late 20's.

Been doing this for 6 years or so.

Berlin, Montreal, Barcelona, Brazil.

It's not easy for young guys in the USA to get the kind of girls like the ones in Brazil without some extra cash and in the end it's not worth it most of the time.

Single guy that just wants to have some fun every now and then.

Personally for me I would stop somewhere around my 30's.

20's you can fuck around with and some of your 30's but definitely for me I would like a partner for that support and hopefully that second income stream as millennials are getting fucked by the feds, inflations, a crazy housing market, etc. Its rough doing it all on your own for this generation.

That being said I definitely would like a foreign wife, brazilin obviously or maybe some eastern european that appreciates the little things (excluding my dick).

I wouldn't count out american girls as I've met some really great girls here but they were taken as they should be since they are a catch. It's tough but doable. I just like the different cultures so I would lean more to having a brazilian wife.

I've met tons of other guys from the forum in my trips to Brazil and almost all were over 40 so realistically my personal number is really low but that's just for me.

I just want the "leave it to beaver" scenario.

I'd like to travel to other places like Italy or Japan or the Bahamas with a girl that truly respects me and not some clam that is texting other guys on our trip, planning to meet and fuck once she lands back in town. I understand the game, it's all good but I deserve more than that. Been there, done that, and will do it again this coming trip in OCT but like I said the veneer strips away once the party is over.

Alot of people also tend to forget that we live a pretty long life. I still have 50+ years ahead of me most likely and after all those years things do start to get stale. Even rich people have a hard time trying to stay happy because after the 10th trip to the Maldives it starts to get a bit old. When you have a partner or even a kid you can re-experience that feeling of an old place as new through their eyes. I know what ice cream tastes like but my son doesn't and once he does and his eyes light up at this new joy in life it's fun to see that discovery of life again. That's why I and many others on the board like taking a girl who has never been out of her own city in SP or wherever and taking her to Rio for the first time and seeing them bug out over this city they only seen in movies. Its fun because your kinda reliving that moment when you first landed yourself.

I personally also wouldn't want to put the pussy on the pedestal.

Every knowledge guy knows that you shouldn't be chasing the pussy forever. At a certain point it needs to be chasing you. And there is a time to stop hunting because eventually you become the prey. The amount of damage a girl, especially the ones who partake in the walking of the night, is really unmeasurable. The fall of troy comes to mind.

Luckily for most of us, nothing bad has happened other than a few glances from hotel workers but you can only push your luck so far and things like diseases, extortion, theft and other comes to mind.

I'm a very practical person with realistic goals and ideas in mind so that's just my two cents and of course life works in mysterious ways and I can be singing a different tune as I still have many more years left to pay the IRS so who knows.

Settling down, having kids and all that isn't easy, I know but I believe it's worth it for me. Anything worth it's weight in life isn't going to be easy. You don't become the greatest NFL player or NBA player by just doing nothing and not sacrificing anything. It also isn't guarantee but if you don't at least try than it definitely is guarantee you won't.

Saw a video the other day of a divorce lawyer talking about some cases and human nature and it's pretty interesting to watch.

I'm in my late 20's.

Been doing this for 6 years or so.

Berlin, Montreal, Barcelona, Brazil.

It's not easy for young guys in the USA to get the kind of girls like the ones in Brazil without some extra cash and in the end it's not worth it most of the time.

Single guy that just wants to have some fun every now and then.

Personally for me I would stop somewhere around my 30's.

20's you can fuck around with and some of your 30's but definitely for me I would like a partner for that support and hopefully that second income stream as millennials are getting fucked by the feds, inflations, a crazy housing market, etc. Its rough doing it all on your own for this generation.

That being said I definitely would like a foreign wife, brazilin obviously or maybe some eastern european that appreciates the little things (excluding my dick).

I wouldn't count out american girls as I've met some really great girls here but they were taken as they should be since they are a catch. It's tough but doable. I just like the different cultures so I would lean more to having a brazilian wife.

I've met tons of other guys from the forum in my trips to Brazil and almost all were over 40 so realistically my personal number is really low but that's just for me.

I just want the "leave it to beaver" scenario.

I'd like to travel to other places like Italy or Japan or the Bahamas with a girl that truly respects me and not some clam that is texting other guys on our trip, planning to meet and fuck once she lands back in town. I understand the game, it's all good but I deserve more than that. Been there, done that, and will do it again this coming trip in OCT but like I said the veneer strips away once the party is over.

Alot of people also tend to forget that we live a pretty long life. I still have 50+ years ahead of me most likely and after all those years things do start to get stale. Even rich people have a hard time trying to stay happy because after the 10th trip to the Maldives it starts to get a bit old. When you have a partner or even a kid you can re-experience that feeling of an old place as new through their eyes. I know what ice cream tastes like but my son doesn't and once he does and his eyes light up at this new joy in life it's fun to see that discovery of life again. That's why I and many others on the board like taking a girl who has never been out of her own city in SP or wherever and taking her to Rio for the first time and seeing them bug out over this city they only seen in movies. Its fun because your kinda reliving that moment when you first landed yourself.

I personally also wouldn't want to put the pussy on the pedestal.

Every knowledge guy knows that you shouldn't be chasing the pussy forever. At a certain point it needs to be chasing you. And there is a time to stop hunting because eventually you become the prey. The amount of damage a girl, especially the ones who partake in the walking of the night, is really unmeasurable. The fall of troy comes to mind.

Luckily for most of us, nothing bad has happened other than a few glances from hotel workers but you can only push your luck so far and things like diseases, extortion, theft and other comes to mind.

It's like the 19 year old I met at Helpe that told me she wasn't going to be a hooker for a long time. She needed to buy some things. When I met her she was a 10 body 8 face. Cost me 200 reals each year I would see her, until she gained a ton of weight and I was done. She never quit like she thought. Haven't seen her since 2006, but I imagine she is still a hooker but now pushing 40. She got addicted to the easy money, and you will get addicted to the easy sex.

I know what ice cream tastes like but my son doesn't and once he does and his eyes light up at this new joy in life it's fun to see that discovery of life again. Leave it to Beaver was not real! Seems you are looking to create nostalgia for yourself. First thing to know is that your dream is not necessarily that of others. You can have all the good intentions in the world, but your situation can turn out shitty. You never know unless you try, but is trying worth the risk?

You want all this shit until somebody decides to leave you and take half. You can not control their mind. You are going back and forth with mongering getting stale, then you admit that even rich people are not satisfied with going back and forth to the Maldives. Then you say when you have a partner. Well you do not think the rich people are going back and forth to the Maldives with a partner? I have been there and it is no place to go alone. Imagine how stale it would get coming home to the same person everyday and having to hear them bich about something. Imagine if your kid turns out to be the same as Joe Biden's kid? You can raise a kid up the way you think they should go, but they still will have their own mind and desires and your nostalgia will not play a part in it.

Then shit I never thought about until taking Biology in college. What if your kid is born with a birth defect such as Down Syndrome or Spina Bifida? You do not get to choose how the baby comes out. You also do not get to choose how your mate changes. Something clicked in my daughter's mom as soon as the baby came out. I do not know if she got bipolar all of a sudden or what.

Long story short my daughter's mom estranged herself from her family. Has not seen them in about 20 years. She never made my daughter go to school so she ended up dropping out at 16. You do not think my nostalgia was to have my daughter at least graduate high school? My daughter is now almost 27 and my grandkids are 5, but following in her mother's footsteps my daughter has estranged herself from my family. I see how her mother acted when she was growing up and not being fair to her and how she is now acting as not being fair to my grandkids. You are not hurting the people you are setting out to hurt. Hell I am free to do what I want and could have always made another kid if I wished. But did I want it to turn out shitty again? That was not a risk I was willing to take. Not after having to pay all that child support to people that did not even care about their future. I had my go at it and it turned out shitty. That is fucking life. Like I said, you never know if you do not try, but at this point I am glad that shit is over and every dime that I make is now for me alone. I do not owe a mf shit. House paid off, kid grown. I can do what the fuck I want to do when the fuck I want to do it.

The liking different cultures thing is overrated. Do you speak Portuguese? Do you speak the other Eastern European languages? Well I speak 5 languages with a Masters in International Business, so if I do not know anything then I KNOW different cultures. Most people from any culture spend their time working to keep a roof over their family's heads and food on the table. It does not matter shit if a white rose means death or if you think it is lucky to break a glass when you get married. It is the day to day rubber meets the road shit that you need to think about, not their name for Santa Claus.

If you are looking for someone that appreciates little things then good luck with that. My buddy had two kids with a Brazilian chick and later married her and brought her to the States. She cheated on his ass the first chance she had. Some guy put on her facebook thanks for last night. When he got home he asked her if it was true and she admitted it. Now his ass is stuck supporting her in the States (expensive ass northeast at that) instead of the $200/ month he could have been sending to Brazil for those kids.

My main girlfriend is Brazilian. We take nice trips together. Last February we were in Tahiti and she got drunk as a skunk at a restaurant and she said something that I got on video but did not let her see. She was complaining that I only wanted her to travel with. Well first of all why would I need to spend extra money so you could go somewhere? I could go alone or with someone else. Even if that was the case, why the fuck would you complain about seeing and doing shit in life that you never even imagined? Being a man, I would just ride the shit out hoping it did not end. But not women. If you are waiting for them to appreciate little things then you will be waiting a mighty long time.

TC, I remember a cartoon from either Penthouse or Hustler magazine. It depicts an old guy with a prostitute. She explained to the coroner that he came, and then he went. That's how we should all go out!

If your paper visa is still valid you don't need another.Makes total sense, but have you confirmed this anywhere? If you try to contact the Brazilian consulate in my country it's a total waste of time. Nobody answer the phone or returns e-mails, and I can't find any info on point on their website.

Hi guys, goin to Brasil for the first time, arriving in Sao Paulo Sept. 21 and leaving Oct 4. I heard that the visa waiver ends on Sept 30 and visa requirements start Oct 1.

Arriving will be no problem, but leaving after Oct 1st will there be any problems? Lot of sites and news across the internet say it will be ok if you arrive before Oct 1st and leave afterwards. Any solid info that is true would help.Within the last few days, Brazilian officials after thinking it over or something, the October 2023 date to re-enforce visa has been delayed to January 2024.

But I can't think of a reason why a valid visa, issued by proper authorities wouldn't be honored.

Even though I am supposedly a senior member I don't have that functionality to make this a report of distinction.

My main girlfriend is Brazilian. We take nice trips together. Last February we were in Tahiti and she got drunk as a skunk at a restaurant and she said something that I got on video but did not let her see. She was complaining that I only wanted her to travel with. Well first of all why would I need to spend extra money so you could go somewhere? I could go alone or with someone else. Even if that was the case, why the fuck would you complain about seeing and doing shit in life that you never even imagined? Being a man, I would just ride the shit out hoping it did not end. But not women. If you are waiting for them to appreciate little things then you will be waiting a mighty long time.I would like to start with saying I made it clear that the Original Question that was posed was "What do you guys think is the appropriate age to retire from the hobby?" and my response was for me personally it is in my 30's but I also said it's not realistic for most guys here on the site who I would say the average age is 45+.

That being said I don't disagree with your thoughts and life experiences.

In fact I take most of my life experience from the other side. Von Bismarck famously said 'Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others. '.

I highly advise anyone to view the video I posted along my original post where a divorce lawyer talks about his thoughts on marriage and his many clients and their failed marriages.

He has alot of good insights from seeing what doesn't work.

"I don't think I can learn eveything I need to know about myself from myself. ".

'Being married is great sometimes. But the hard part is being married ALL the time. '.

"I don't envy people being married for a long time because that's not the goal. The goal is to be HAPPILY married. ".

"Marriage is an inherently negligent activity. It's like owning a lion. ".

But one of the most important thing he said was "If you can't talk about hard things you have no business getting married".

I intend on getting a prenup before getting married. I could meet a girl who meets all the checkmarks that I want but if she gets offended, angry or avoids serious discussion that's not a serious person who I want to get into a lifelong commitment with. I know that can be contested in court and the like with lawyers but the more prep work you do to ensure you don't get fucked over, the more you're ready when the shit hits the fan. Even the divorce lawyer says that you need to learn everything you can about the laws of marriage where you live because marriage is the only contract most people go into without doing any research. Money to me is definitely the killer of all marriages and mental stability. I've never been in debt, have my own business, good credit scores, racked up every single credit card benefits / points and NEVER gave a dime back in interest or late fees to those greedy cock suckers and I have 11 credit cards. I need that in my partner as well.

My goal, which every person should have, is to find a partner who is my best friend. I have a best friend who I met 2 decades ago and I would do anything for him. He's my brother and he's always got my back and so I always got him. I would never fuck him but there is a bond between us that surpasses some peoples relationship / marriage because there is a level of trust, respect and happiness for one and another that we have that is mutual and celebrated. I would garner that alot of guy's here have that same friendship and even hobby with those friends on some epic travels.

I want that in my partner where it goes beyond sex and is just like a good healthy bestfriend situation. Where I want to ***** and talk shit with her like I would with my best friend. I would like the sex to be good too but I know that pussy aint going to be hot when we're 60 or whatever so there's a need for relationship that's beyond sex and again is more like a best friend.

With that being said I know things don't always go the way you want it to. As you alluded, she could change over time or our kids turn out to be brats or she becomes a he or she kills me in my sleep and then registers me as a democrat (LOL).

There is a lot of "what if's" but I can't let fear dictate my life. There is no reward if you don't risk anything. You can't make a million dollars if you aren't ready to risk 100,000. Michael Jordan had 2 3 peats but he also didn't get to the finals when he returned and played for the wizards. You're not going to win all the time and at everything. Your going to lose sometimes. Everything in life is a gamble. I remember when I first went to Brazil, everyone told me I was crazy and I would get robbed and get covid and whatever and I had the best time of my life and even made a good amount of great friends.

It's a long response but I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not saying everyone should do what I want to do. That I know the pitfalls as well and weighted all the options and did the math.

The way the world is going, we need more family units. We need more male / father role models. We don't need more single mothers and kids growing up with fucked up morals and no guidance that leads to the destruction of a good society. It's clear when seeing the data whether you are in Brazil or the USA. Having that strong support is crucial. The kid still could grow up fucked up like hunter biden, true, but then again it does not hurt to try. I don't want to sit back and complain about a problem without trying to do something about it. That leads nowhere. And I've always wanted to be a father so that's just me.

QUCK RESPONSES.

As for a kid with birth defects, I would abort. And that's why I would need a partner that can talk about hard issues like that and understand what that means. Of course, some defects can come afterwards but everything is a risk.

I'm Hispanics. I speak 3 languages and yes I do speak Portuguese. Brazilians are not hispanics but they are latinos. I am also latino by definition. They are just different enough where its fun to see the differences between the cultures. Like an american guy marrying a british bird (bird is slang for young woman) eastern europeans are interesting and it's a little known fact but alot of eastern european women speak some spanish as they are very interested in spanish culture and watch the famous telenovelas (spanish soap operas) and I met many of them in my travels but again it's just a fun idea. I would not really consider an asian woman as we are just culturally too different but who knows.

American girls are also not all bad. There are many great women in this country too. There are tons of girls who live in big cities or Idaho / West Virginia Appalachian that appreciate a good man and a normal lifestyle and the value of the dollar. I work in the wedding industry so I've been to more weddings than most people and lots of the couples I keep in touch and still going strong.

Is it easy. No. Is it hard. Yes. Is it impossible. No.

Not every girl is a clueless, emotionally unstable, gold digging, heartless working girl and not every guy is a sleazy, creepy, toxic, wife beater, playboy. There is more than the madonna / working girl complex. We're complicated animals.

Marcus aurelias is one of my stoic role models but he raised a piece of shit son.

The first thing you should learn in this life is that it's not fair, life's a ***** and then you die.

But one of the most important thing he said was "If you can't talk about hard things you have no business getting married".That is why when I am talking to a new chick and she does not want to talk about her last relationship then I just move on. Big problem with women is they do not want to discuss something that went wrong before in hopes of preventing the same mistakes. Their idea is to forget everything and start over eventually repeating the same shit. Bich you have one life that is continuous. You don't get to start over with a fresh one and act like something before did not happen. Delusional.

Good luck stopping mongering later in life. 6 years is a long time already, so you're now a lifer. It's like the 19 year old I met at Helpe that told me she wasn't going to be a hooker for a long time. She needed to buy some things. When I met her she was a 10 body 8 face. Cost me 200 reals each year I would see her, until she gained a ton of weight and I was done. She never quit like she thought. Haven't seen her since 2006, but I imagine she is still a hooker but now pushing 40. She got addicted to the easy money, and you will get addicted to the easy sex.I will admit it is nice to have some easy sex every now and then but it isn't the only pleasure in life I get. I have really no vices than drinking a cold Mexican bottle of coke with real sugar cane and a nice 8-10 hours of sleep when I can get it. I don't smoke, drink or gamble and I've tried it and it does nothing for me.

I have a good job that I do interesting projects and interests that keep me stimulated.

I'm going to SP and RJ in OCT and I'm not as hyped as I used to be. I'm sure I will have a nice time as I have some girls lined up but I'm not counting the days because I have other things going on in my life that have me excited as well.

I have that Robert de Niro HEAT mentality "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. ".Obviously you can't just walk away from a marriage or your kids but you can prepare for the consequence, good or bad. I know a group of people around your age in the area I live. They are all financially stable. One of them is a lawyer. She gave advice to her friends how to make finance separate in a relationship. Basically, their finances are independent in the eyes of the law before marriage, and will be independent during marriage. It's easier when the couple in the marriage are both financially independent and both agree to it before even the relationship started. It makes money less a problem during divorce.

Some women are affected by hormone level change more than some others. Having a child probably will affect them a lot more. If their hormone level does not go back to normal, then the woman probably will be different.

Legally speaking, depending on local laws, when the money is in different accounts like you stated than the woman or man can't touch it since it's not shared in a joint account. It's not easy or simple of course to shield yourself but like you said you can help which I definitely preach.

Famously there was a recent case where a football player wife divorced her husband and when she tried to get her half of his wealth, she found out legally he owned nothing as he had everything under his mother's name and so she went home with nothing. If you have a good relationship with your folks or even friends it can be a good idea to try but risky too.

https://www.indiatimes.com/trending/human-interest/achraf-hakimi-wife-demands-his-fortune-in-divorce-he-owns-nothing-599445.html

The one thing I would ask is how much debt she has. Some people are shocked to find out their spouse has hundred of thousands of dollars in debt and now it's both your debt. I understand a business loan or maybe a student loan with a good working degree but maxed out credit cards and / or payday loans and BS like that I would turn away from. If they happen to die, that student loan debt is like a cancer and attaches to the next of kin and now I'm stuck. I've worked too hard and good to keep a good record and no debt to let that happen.

I've been recently following this youtube channel where real people talk about their real finances and most of them are just bad. One of the one's I linked, the wife had a GI Bill pay her college and yet she managed to still pay 52 k in student loans AFTER the GI BILL. She refuses to cook, get a part time job and gets fast food almost 3 times a day.

That makes no sense and that marriage is doomed. A clear red flag.

And yes the hormones are unpredictable. A miscarriage can rock the boat as well. Postpartum depression is very real. Lots of things to learn about and I thank god I am not a woman and have to deal with all this BS.

Leave it to Beaver was not real! Seems you are looking to create nostalgia for yourself. First thing to know is that your dream is not necessarily that of others. You can have all the good intentions in the world, but your situation can turn out shitty. You never know unless you try, but is trying worth the risk?........I agree with the others that said to post this on the 'Best of' or 'Reports of Distinction' board. I met you in person, or at least I think I did, back in the 2010 ish timeframe in Santo Domingo, DR. We only had a couple beers, but I could tell that you had were quite thoughtful and had wisdom.

It's not the post optimistic way to look at life, but the older, more financially secure, and more set in my ways that I get, the more that I realize marriage is a heck of a gamble. I've worked hard and built up comfortable assets. I may also inherit a sizable amount. I'd love to have a couple kids, but overall I'm happy with my life and the freedom I have. I'd hate to be in a position where I have so much of that taken by someone via marriage that I've known for less than 5 years. I'd even be more disappointed if I had a child with the 'wrong' woman, because then I'd be impacting more lives than my own.... and young ones at that.

Both should not be a problem but don't take my words for it and you have to check the detail. The strange thing about the law is that it assumes everyone knows the details when in reality most people don't, myself included

That is why I brought up a lawyer in my original post because she knows the details. She enjoys luxurious things so she studied hard and works hard to get what she wants herself. She had a boyfriend from college for about 10 years. She broke up with him because she was tired of waiting for marriage. She is dating a medical surgent now. Her brother also has a girlfriend from school. The girlfriend is an engineer in a high paying large tech company, and makes more money then her brother who is in the same profession. With dual income like theirs, they can buy a million dollar house without much difficulty. It can turn into an investment that the house may be worth 2 millions by the time they divorce so dual incomes is a good idea and it's a must for most people who is afraid of financial lost. I am not saying it is easy as meeting the equal counterpart is not that easy, but one can't look for them in hooker or just random people. At my work, I can easily find man like me but zero woman that can match or close to my pay grade.

Everyone's growth potential in the US is pretty much unlimited and untapped. But if they have a shit behavior on how they spend their money then that's never going to change. A person who makes 50 K USD and spends 35 K USD is going to be the same when they make 5 MM and spend 4 MM. I've seen in my experience, making more money to alot of people just means to them that they can spend more money or take higher loans because "it's only 6 K a month and I make 10 k" you can carve up a great situation for yourself but if the other person just doesn't know how to leverage, borrow, pay and save their money it's all down hill. A millionaire who makes 2 million but has 3 million dollars in stupid debt is not rich. They are in fact poorer than the homeless person on the street. It's all in the mentality, most generational wealth seems to fall apart after the 3rd since they are so detached from the struggles and smart moves of the 1st generation.

The income will be more important than how much she spends or saves. As long as she does not go into debt, the higher income she has, the less burden you will have and less likely she will go after you and you probably can go after her.

This is how you can walk away quickly like you mentioned in your original post. Issues related to law can't be delayed. When you are equal, you have more time to work it out. When you are not equal, you have to shut it down as soon as you can because time is another factor during divorce. You hear men talking about not getting divorce due to kids. But when you look at the age of the kids and maybe the non-working spouse, you know the man don't really feel he can afford to get a divorce because he has been married too long.

If you are sure she is the one, than you can take more risk to marry someone who makes 1/3 of your income, and what you said makes perfect sense but that is not how the law works when it comes to divorce.

It is really shocking how alot of people don't know what APR or a variable APR is. They sign whatever they need to, to get their high on the next big thing.

Unless you cosign someone else's debt, then the creditors might go after you. Otherwise, the debt will normally be discharged with a death certificate.

Full disclosure: Am I a lawyer? No."Federal student loans qualify for student loan discharge when the borrower dies.

There's just one catch to discharging federal student loan debt. The IRS may treat the cancelled debt may as income, leading to a tax liability. The federal government may send a 1099-see to the borrower's estate or to the borrower of a Federal Parent PLUS loan. The tax liability is less than the cancelled debt, but it may still be a non-trivial sum.

There is no law requiring lenders to cancel private student loans upon the death of the borrower.

Half of private student loan programs do not offer death discharges. If the borrower dies, the lender will charge the debt against the borrower's estate. The cosigner may become responsible for repaying the remaining debt after the estate is settled.

If you die, your widowed spouse could be left responsible for paying off your student debt, depending on your state of legal residence and whether you borrowed the education loan after you got married.

In the nine community property states – Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin – a surviving spouse may be held liable for repaying a private student loan following the death of a deceased spouse, even if they didn't cosign the loans, but only if they took out the loan after they were married.

Bearsi, I personally won't even consider someone still carry a student loan at your age. I don't know anyone after working a few years still owe student loan. If the student qualification is good, he or she can easily have a choice of the school he or she wants to go to with at least 50% scholarship. It the student does not choose to study a degree that can make money to pay off the loan, that decision making is questionable.

The female lawyer in my post. She went to a private college that gave her scholarship. While studying at school, she was making 6 K+ a month during summer internship. She won't own too much if she owed anything at all. Her brother is the same, but he chose to study a useless major. Then he saw his girlfriend and other people who studying computer science getting good job offers so he decided to take out a student loan to get a master degree in CS. He got a job offer one year before graduation. He did so because he knew he can pay off the loan easily by then. The irony is that he initially entered a prestige university to study CS to begin with but he switched major. I was also debt free when I graduated.

I know my regular family and friend circle is not the norm but you certainly can aim higher to avoid some financial issues

Confirming does SP have similar or better setups to RDJ's Clubs like 4 x4 and Perola Negra etc, spas like Eden Spa, unmarked residential high rise like 13 de Maio or guided tours of VM?

If really wanting second chance would I just be better off when arrive at GRU just hop on sleeper bus to RDJ for the entire week skip SP completely?

And Rio won out, because it certainly has plenty of options and I'd rather spend non-mongering time in a beach town vs a large city.

Assuming I uber from the termas directly back to hotel, is there a time or reason I should worry about being out too late?I think you only need to worry about 4 x4 which is in a deserted downtown office building area at night. You don't have to worry abut time, but you may have problem getting Uber so you would have to take a taxi that's waiting outside and that should be fine. For that reason, we used to walk to the main street to catch Uber around or after midnight. It was fine until someone reported here that he was robbed.

The danger is there but it wasn't as bad as Medellin where it seems grigos are being hunted or watched.

BTW. Can any one suggest how to look for chica friendly Airbnb. I have booked 2 bedroom apartment near Copacabana ($800 CAD) though they did not specifically mentioned about guest policy but no party, no smoking policy. Not sure if this means. No entry for chicas?

I always stays in hotels wingman and never had problem. Including Medellin Sheraton. But this time we 4 people, hence ended up taking 2 bedroom apartment and not sure if run into any issues.

We have until 3 pm to cancel our Airbnb but so far we did not find any chica friend. Appreciate any intel via PM.
