Rio de Janeiro Reports

[JohnnyWalker55]

The casual pick up scene, is it that easy? I have smattering of Spanish, so how fluent do you have to be?

Everyone else pretty much covered it, I only converted with that one chick I mentioned, the rest were playing hard to get / playing games so I got tired of wasting all my time sweet talking and just stuck to darkroom and the other centro prives. It is pretty easy to get WhatsApp.

I am completely fluent in Portuguese, in my thirties and in shape, dress well, so as always ymmv. ID say it's exactly like picking up girls in the states, but you have the upper hand because when you say you're in Rio for a year for business, they assume you have lots of money which automatically raises your social value to them, they figure you're not some backpacker staying in a hostel trying to pump and dump them for a week.

But yea, if you have to use a translator to talk to non pros, unless you look like Brad Pitt I'd say it's near impossible and the cost (time) would be greater than the reward. That one chick never let me go raw either, which is the whole point of non pros. I have a lot more success in Colombia.

Hey guys,

I wanted to contribute to this thread since reading through it had provided me so much info when I was in Rio. I stayed for 2 weeks, first in Ipanema and the second week in Lapa. When I was in Lapa, I visited both Dark Room and 4 x4 every night. My routine was always go to Dark Room, get a nut out in a 30 min session and then walk over to 4 x4 and chill there while making out and deciding who to fuck with a clearer head.

At Dark Room, my main go-to was almost always Mayte. Dark Room seems to me like one of those places where new upcoming talent is mixed with old dated talent. I saw Mayte maybe 3 times that week. Every time she was enthusiastic, always had a smile on her face and was very clearly enjoying her job. My last time with her, I gave her a 100 real tip more as a good-bye tip and she put it in her butt for me. That was fun. I saw Isabel once and I regretted it. It took me the whole 30 minutes to nut with her. There's another older girl there, she asked for my number and her name's initials are E are. She's definitely exhausted by the work and tried hard to see me off hours and to get me into some quasi-relationship shit. Also showed me pics of an Asian-American gringo who she sees (dude if you're reading this, I wouldn't trust her with your real identity). The woman I really wanted was the light skinned / English speaking boss lady. We ended up chatting for a bit my last time there and I asked her what she wanted and what she was looking for. She told me that she was looking for a Dark Room but for women where she could go and get pleasure too. I offered to go down on her for an hour because I wanted to fuck her and she laughed and said "you're my friend!" I told her about Kenya too since I've heard some women head out there for male escorts but she's didn't want to fly all the way over there. Overall, cool vibe for a place to get a nut out for cheap. I hope they keep growing.

4 x 4 struck me as a. Junior varsity version of HK in Tijuana. Not as much stripping, not as many scams, not as much effort, just a bunch of women hanging out. I saw different women there every time except for once so I couldn't tell you their names. The only girl I saw more than once was a darker skinned slim girl who wore white fishnets and long eye lashes, I know her real name but her stage name escapes me. She was cool and she's flexible with her rules. I ended up taking her up twice and having a pretty passionate experience that I'd call GFE. Lots of interesting talent at 4 x4. I talked to the twins and made out with one of them, they seem super chill but we never sessioned. I was very impressed by the one with a 6-pack. I was telling another American who was trying to decide between her and an hour glass figure girl that he can always get hourglass figure girls but a 6-pack girl will ride him for an hour and how many of us have fucked a girl who actually earned her 6-pack? Saw him another time and he was satisfied. Chatted with the front desk mamasan too, she was telling me that she was headed out on vacation after years of working and I wished her well. The girls' manager is a super chill lady and if you tell her the types of girls you're interested in, she'll help you navigate through them. I tipped her 100 reals on my last night for helping me out for a week. My only advice here and for Dark Room is to avoid the girls who've been in the game for more than a few years, the newer girls seem to enjoy the sex more and aren't faking their moans like it's a porno.

I'm in London now seeing an old-flame who's recently divorced because cumming in a sex starved 34-year old for free for a couple of weeks is more of a GFE experience to me than covering up with yet another 19-year old I'll barely remember. I'm headed off to India soon and then Thailand and Philippines so if you see me in those forums holler at me!

First went to Garota de Ipanema in 93? It is still the same nothing has changed. The surrounding shops have obvs but the restaurant is identical I still sit in the same seat in far left corner. Happy days.

There is one big difference. In 1993 Garota the Ipanema was very popular among papa-gringos. Lots of girls wanting to hook up with gringos and had sex for free. We used to call them the turma the batata fritas. If you bought them a chop and batata fritas you could be sure to get sex for free.

I asked in the Portuguese words and phrases, but no one reads that thread, it seems.

Gents, if you take a girl to anywhere in Latin America, how would she fare, presuming that she only speaks Portuguese, of course? Would she be able to communicate? Not talking about complex interactions, but in tourist settings (restaurant / hotel / sightseeing).

They should. Every Brazilian I met was better able to understand me as soon as I switched to Spanish.

It has been about 8 years since I was last in Rio for some fun. Decided it might be time to relive some old times. Back then Help disco and the surrounding bars was where I use to spend my evenings. Definitely a target rich environment. Sorry to hear that Help has closed. Is there any bars or areas that has taken its place? It seems like most of the discussion on here deals with the Termas. Never tried them but don't think they're my thing. Kinda prefer the slower pace of a bar to evaluate prospects.

I also remember in Ipanema a bar called Emporio that was good for non-pros and semi-pros. Is it still there? Garota de Ipanema was always my favorite restaurant. I'm just wondering how much has changed. Is there still the ability to relax on the beach during the day and then hit a bar in Ipanema for semi-pro talent or hit somewhere else for a drink and evaluate what you want to take back to the hotel? 200,000 use to be the going rate for short time. Seems like it's gone up a bit.

I see a lot of old gringos that are completely out of shape, poorly dressed and with no Portuguese trying to pull 20 something locals and it just looks pathetic. And to be honest it is insulting to Brazilian people.

I do not think it is insulting or laughable. I think it is misleading to assume every woman wants a 20 year old gym rat in a 3 piece suit. You can approach any woman. The worst thing she can tell you is no. And you will never know what she will say unless you approach her.

One thing I love about Rio is that mfs sport shorts and flip flops every day of the year. Last Saturday was the coldest day of the year and I was wrapped up in my jacket and hat and folks were still out with shorts and flip flops. The city is super laid back with a bunch of regular people doing regular shit. Big contrast to some of these other threads where mongers are giving advice to wear slacks, a button down shirt, and penny loafers whenever you step outside in those cities.

Was definitely longer than 8 years ago if you are talking about hanging out at Help.

Yep I also speak the language and it makes a massive difference. I also look after myself. I see a lot of old gringos that are completely out of shape, poorly dressed and with no Portuguese trying to pull 20 something locals and it just looks pathetic. And to be honest it is insulting to Brazilian people.

By the way has anyone ever gotten the presidential suite in Panda Motel? My god! I had my own swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, small gym, cinema sized screen! It was amazing.

I knew this rich Brazilian who would go there every other weekend with 3-5 terma girls. They would spend the entire weekend doing blow and fucking. He would pay them 2,000 R each and all the coke they could sniff. He loved that hotel.

I think it's okay if young guys go to a club or flirt with retail workers. But again, don't be a jerk and think every Brasileira is craving your first world awesomeness. Try to be subtle. They will appreciate some subtlety. Like every place in the world, if they are okay with your advances they will smile and send obvious cues. If not, move on.

Awhile back, wasn't there a member here who got kicked out of a mall for chatting up countless women? If the member is here still, I'm not trying to be a jerk. It's just an reminder to not be uncouth in the pursuit of Brazilian women.

Well, being this out-of-shape gringo, I don't think it's insulting to them as much as it's laughable. I'm pretty sure these fit Brazilian dudes are having a good laugh at our expense.

Anyway, I took a top suite at Bambina also in Botafogo, Cubertura something. It's a duplex suite, very smartly designed, but no gym or screen AFAIK. Now that I think of it, it would be fun working out with your girl on that treadmill (don't know about safety issue), LOL. It was slightly less pricey than Panda, but 3 hours instead of 6. Better take 6, trust me.

These suites are a lot of fun, but I couldn't help but think how often they clean that pool and hot tub. And how many naked asses have graced all those seating surfaces before me. LOL.

I have been traveling to Brasil for 26 years and have lived there for years. The truth is experiences with civilians can be different for each individual. It's not cookie cutter, it varies for each man seeking a non-working girl.

I have seen countless guys strike out trying to pull civilians either because they don't have the language skills or they think all brasilians are sex craved vixens who desire gringos. I have had tremendous luck with the civilians because I speak the language, I have family that live in Rio and my company has a huge office in SP. I am blessed to be introduce to women by friends and family and I have a great reason why I visit the country so frequently. Not all men are as fortunate..

Why do you guys think that? I have been coming to Copacabana and meeting normal chicks and their families for over 20 years. Same thing with Sosua. Mongers say you can not let people know you are going there. I have stayed there plenty of times and had normal chicks come from other cities to stay with me there. Nobody is paranoid about this except mongers that see themselves as doing something wrong or think that other people suspect them of being up to debauchery.

I am not going to BS these newbies who don't speak the language and don't have any friends in brasil by telling them it's a breeze picking up females and you can pull any woman you see in the mall. Truth is, its not easy and you will definitely have your work cut out for you. Thats why those 20 year olds quit after a couple of days of trying and just went P4 P.

[Mr Enternational]

Can I set up a Brazilian GV number?

Vagabundo already answered. I just tried and got this.
