Sao Paulo Reports

[Member #4732]

Went to a few boates last week. Lotus at ex-Cafe Photo location can't recommend. 170 BRL cover on Wednesday night, that's higher what Photo used to charge and even more than Scandallo. Place was empty with around 10 garotas only. Left and went to new Bomboa, which is right around the corner. Great party there with around 30-40 girls. So at the moment it's not too bad with Scandallo, Bomboa, Connection operating pretty normal, very likely even during fase vermelha now. Normal bars and restaurants will for sure be closed all weekend and after 8 pm from Mon. -Fri.

One correction and one question.

Correction: Lotus (ex Photo) entrance of 170 is not more than Scandalo unless you are comparing it to the Scandalo early bird entrance of 150 before 7 pm. After 7 pm Scandalo is 350 I believe. Whereas Lotus is 170 all night, no? The clubs are really apples and oranges because Lotus has no rooms BUT no exit fee for the women, whereas Scandalo has expensive rooms and expensive exit fee (should you choose not to use the rooms). But all that is moot if there are no women at Lotus. It only recently reopened so time will tell if the numbers pick up or not.

Question: Very interested in your report on Bomboa 40 (I. E. Mini Bomboa). I went there once immediately after reopening in November but have not gone back and reports are non existent. At the time they offered entrance of 157 reais but all could be put toward "consumação", food and drink, and they had good food. Very nice rooms on premise, significantly cheaper than Scandalo. And the manager told me the girls would accept 300 even though most would start asking 400. So price wise it is significantly better than Scandalo. The big negative is its lack of size. Its truly "mini" in every respect. So what I want to ask you is are you sure there were 30-40 girls? The night I went there were like 10 and 10 clients and though the owner said his target was 30-40 girls I was wondering how that would actually work out given the small space. There was an additional social area upstairs so maybe it could handle 30-40. Also I was skeptical that they would be able to attract 30-40 girls and sufficient clients. They do have 15 rooms, so plenty of rooms if in fact they can pull in 30-40 ladies it makes it a very viable option.

Did Cafe Photo just do a name change, or did it move to a new location, and the old place became Lotus?

Thanks!!

I was hoping to be able to go to Mercado and get some some fruits and pastel and just waste some time walking around. Hopefully, I will be able to do.

I am concerned about restaurants opening on weekend as I will be in São Paulo next weekend. Otherwise, I will just have to order and have it delivered which isn't my preferred option. But oh well.

[The Critic]

Is the Mercado Municipal considered a mall? Will it be closed also?

What do they consider the weekend Saturday and Sunday? Or is Friday also included?

Thanks.

Not Friday, but next Monday for example is a special holiday ("City of Sao Paulo day") so it is included. Never head of Mercado Municipal. I was wrong about restaurants, they open for a short span for lunch and dinner. So it is not too bad provided restrictions don't get worse and worse.

I miss shopping malls since the food courts were not only good value but also an ideal spot for a lone monger to eat quietly on his own while getting an eyeful of the local female population. Many upmarket restaurants in Sao Paulo are not too keen to give one of their best tables to an old fart like me.

There we go again. Malls and restaurants closed 24/24 during week-ends. On week-days closing time at 8 pm.

Sorry mate but need to disagree here.

I liked Brazil, it is nice destination, people are warm but average looking girl is not in top 20 in the world.

Yeah you can find some gems but generally find Brazolan girls not so attractive.

Tinder sucks in Brazil from my experience.

It depends. What are you looking for? If you are looking to get an escort on Tinder, then you'll have no luck in Brasil. Tinder is really used to meet people and hook up, it's not used to promote OnlyFans, SnapChat or to get clients. Which is good. In fact, I got one freebie, she slept over a few nights. I didn't pay a thing. Sure, I ordered food for both of us, we had a couple of dinners, but nothing more. No gifts, nothing. I think with a few changes to my profile and a better commitment, I could have had much better results. 3 other girls wanted to meet me, but they weren't pretty enough. With one I made a video call and she basically invited me over. But I wasn't brave enough. Another wanted to be my Cicerone, but I was too busy fucking prostitute to waste my time with her. I have seen it's really hard to match with young girls, unfortunately. For example in Colombia many girls were accepting my friendship on Facebook, in Brazil just a few, a really small percentage. This girl I met, the freebie, she had 1000 matches on Tinder. I have seen it. I was like, wtf. I mean, I had 10.

So I happened upon Hello Talk because some guys in Japan use it to pick up hotties. I always thought it was like Tinder. Doh! Not at all. It's for meeting a penpal who speaks the language. It's super well done and AMAZINGLY helpful. You can't use it well if I don't know any Portuguese. But if you are trying to learn you can chat with tons of people of both sexes. I just chat with the hotties but it is an amazing way to build you skills because it has built in translate plus the other person can correct you.

Like just today I learned you can use "to" instead of "estou" in texting. I already knew about vc and rs and a few others. But it's only in usage you learn these things. Plus a lot of the girls are hot 21-24 so who knows.

Some will not accept 10 k. They ask 500 per hour, some even 1000, so they will not accept 10 k, because they do much more. There is a sort of price cartel. If a girl has friends asking 500, she will ask 500, no matter what. If she thinks she is in that range, that is what she is going to ask. One thing I noticed is that they are stubborn. They do renounce to a potential client because of 50 or even 20 reais. I mean, if a girl is asking 500 + Uber, which is maybe 30/40 reais total, and you offer 500 transport included, the girl will say no. They want to be paid exactly what they ask. Some are more intelligent, they compromise, but some are really stupid.

Had girls ask for 1000, said I usually pay 500, they settle for 600. Girls that have been there long are usually good because they are there for repeat clients. One's that are there for a short time do not care about providing good service.

Yes, it happened. I met her on Tinder. One thing I noticed is that Tinder is much more serious than in Europe. I mean, my age on Tinder is 35 (I'm older but I do look in my 30). In Europe I do match with young girl, even in their early 20. In Brazil I do not. I do match only with girls around 30. In Europe, I do match with younger girls, mostly interested in my money. Some looking for a fine dinner or gifts. A lot of girls with OnlyFans or SnapChat in Europe, here in Brazil, no one. You just match with girls you do effectively have a chance. And they do swap on you because they like you.

So, this girl is 32, definitely attractive. She is about to get a boob job, because they all do, soon or later. Impressive how many girls have silicon boobs here, even more than in Colombia. Girls in Sao Paulo are much more beautiful than Colombians. I think Brazil comes first in the world, maybe it's even better than Russia or Ukraine. On average, I mean, there are so many hot girls you don't find anywhere else..

In a situation as you describe, the strategy (if you really want the girl) is to not dispute, bicker, or negotiate her price: accept and agree she needs to be paid exactly what she asks. And then, you tell her the level and type of service that you will accept for her price. At that point, you can either negotiate price or in the face of stubborn stupidity, always simply walk away. Admittedly, I'm not someone who negotiates, that's more the realm of the hardcore johns.

Let's speak about the freebie. We spoke a bit on Tinder, then we moved on WhatsApp, good chemistry, then she asked me for a video call. We met the day after in front of the MASP museum. We immediately kissed, like immediately. She slept two days in a row at my place, basically she didn't leave me for two days, then I had enough, and I sent her home. Since I'm working I told her I didn't have time. I'm going to see her again. Compared to the girls I do pay, this one was so much more into it, because she really likes me. She is really emotional, she even cried once.

I should meet another girl tomorrow, this one as well I met on Tinder. I got to know one other in a shopping center, got her number, she messaged me, but then she didn't meet me. Now, just to be clear, I do look much younger, but I'm not that attractive, so it's still possible to get a freebie in Brazil, and it's much better than a girl you pay. I should have tried before. I do speak Spanish a bit, but my Portuguese sucks. To hit on a girl I need to find the right moment. If there are people around I don't go for it, I don't like to be rejected, so I'm not even so good at pick-up girls. I mean, if I can pick up, everyone else can, as long as you have a bit of courage, and you don't look like Quasimodo.

For the first 2 weeks I didn't even use Tinder, then I tried and since it's a shitty app, it fucked up my profile and I lost my contacts. So I have uninstalled the app. Only 10 days ago I started to use it again. Fuck me. Anyway, I have approached a few girls, and they are all very friendly, much more than in Colombia, especially when I tell them where I'm from. Unfortunately I'm working now, so I don't have much time, but I'm sure I could have fucked for free a few girls if my focus was Tinder.
