So yes a lot of Paulistanos (and Brasilians as a whole in certain locations, service / tourist industries, and education levels) do speak english outside of work enviroments if they "choose to. " and have a interest in you.
With all that being said it's best for Anyone, If they can and have the time and will to Learn and Understand Portuguese. Your experiences in Brasil will be greatly enhanced.

Posts: 2268Best is to be able to work remotely as a digital nomad, and to be retired from one career, or semi-retired.
For example, being a retired Lieutenant Commander, Swiss Navy, but running some do re mi for myself and for Union Bank of Switzerland private clients (who have left, haha) would be ideal. You know, we Swiss Navy only care about pirate bounty and prize ships.

Posts: 2268Agreed.
It's frustrating how few cab drivers make change for even 50.

I will use a credit card here and there for certain things, like hotels and higher end restaurants and stores (I didn't say I never use a credit card in Brazil), but I will be selective and judicious in such use. Of course, you could get robbed of cash right (so far never happened not even close knock on wood). Well another well-known principle is never carry more cash on you at one time than you're willing to lose.
It all comes with risks. I'll take the risk of acquiring and spending cash over letting every Tomas, Ricardo, and Jorge have access to my credit card info. At any rate, I don't buy (no pun intended) that things have changed so much in Brazil in such a relatively little amount of time to where you don't have to worry about using a credit card there anymore. Show me some reliable hard facts and data somewhere, and then maybe. Until then, I won't be ignoring history as the best predictor of the future is the past. For me, that means spending mostly in cash, and using a credit card selectively here and there. All have been warned. Don't let a "skim scam man" do it to you!

Posts: 78Cash vs Card and other tidbits.
You are right to a point about cash. Yes, everybody accepts cash. What happened to me on MANY occasions was the scramble to get me change for even small purchases with small bills. I also noted what the locals were using and that is what changed my mind about cash vs cards. Not sure what kind of cards they use (credit vs debt), but my guess is they were using a card 95 plus percent of the time. Even at the self-serve laundry mat. So yes, cash is accepted but it was often more of a hassle. I NEVER saw anyone using cash at a restaurant including Burger King and McDonalds.
Your card skimmer issue is not an issue with me. I get instant notifications if my card is used. My card never left my site and yes it could happen. Not arguing that point. But it could happen as easily here in the good 'ole USA as Brazil.
Thanks for the compliment, though I made some errors in the report. I appreciate the info you have provided in the past.
What I would add / correct about my report:
SP woman WIN the performance aspect vs. Medellin. I reflected a bit and hands down SP wins, though I just had some fantastic sessions in Medellin as of last week.
Scandallo expectations. I finally came up with in my mind what I envisioned Scandallo woman would be like PRIOR to my trip and in reality having visited on several nights.
I was hoping the gals would be like the 50 (that are all lined up with briefcases from DEAL OR NO DEAL show from years back. Nothing close to that. Again, 80 plus percent of the females were undoable for me. There were some that were in fact fat, ugly or both. I had one gigantic beast come up to me and said, "let's go, you can fuck me in the ass". GROSS.
If you plan a trip and plan to be in SP for more than 10 days, plan ahead for activities, things to do besides monger.

Cash is still accepted everywhere but I have noticed some merchants had trouble breaking bills (maybe because of low cash usage) and visibly annoyed when I used cash.

Posts: 43Sugar Dating Yields Fruit
3rd week in SP, I feel I'm finally understanding the options better and getting what I want. Which is one or two sugar babies for the few months I'm here.
After a hint from a girl I met on Seeking, I started using MeuPatrocinio which is a local sugar dating website. Vastly more options than Seeking, however fewer to none girls who speak any English. Some prices seemed a bit lower (Seeking has gringo pricing) but for the good options, it wasn't much difference. *Notably, many of the university girls I met there are less interested in short-term relationships, having had medium to long-term relationships in the past with rich Brazilians.
Last week I met a cute Instagram influencer there and we had two dates, both at great restaurants, good conversation (in my broken but improving Portuguese), and sex was good too. She also works online and loves traveling so we may do that together.
I really hit the jackpot towards the end of the week, where I met a 21 year old college student, gym body with similar dietary preferences and interests (since when are cute girls into video games? We spoke constantly throughout the evening about everything including her ex and my visits to sex clubs. Sex was amazing. She commended on liking my dick (I'm very average) and how she really liked some of the sexual positions we tried. The next day I'm getting messages about her missing me and some difficult to translate comments about a "ring". Made plans for another date this week where she'll spend the night.
Other notable highlights from this week:
- Scandallo on Thursday night as usual requires staying up until 10-11 pm to find a good option. Met a smoking hot darker skinned girl with enhanced chest and big ass. I'm not usually into thicker girls but her face was a 10, and her body was very proportional. Her performance was a bit more GFE than other Scandallo girls, but still relatively low effort for her. I came twice and we exchanged contact information.
- Went to Lotus Lounge and met another cute girl who provided great GFE. Sadly, I had more tingling feelings in the lips and some neck pain the next few days. Due to health risks I'll forgo clinicas and other high volume girls in the future. Which is so sad because these girls have the best personalities imo. Completely submissive and very experienced at sex.
- Went to Cafe Photo (not Foto) on Saturday. Dead. Bunch of fat girls, old girls and black girls. No thanks. Very impressed by the building and staff. Good music. Want to see the place succeed because it's closer than Scandallo. Even so, not a location to go to during the weekend. The main takeaways here are, when in Brazil, act like a Brazilian. Meet your hot girls during the week and make plans with them for the weekend. The clubs (including Scandallo) aren't so great on weekends.

Falar Portoguese como um japones.
Vagabundo has been watching various Youtube channels about how to learn the local culture, and this one caught my eye, and seems appropo to the SP thread. Because SP is the biggest concentration of Japanese outside of Japan, apparently (correct me if I am wrong). Since Vagabundo is part of the masterace of eurasians (a joke), he is attuned to racial differences more than most.
