Posts: 1115Perhaps more of a moral issue...

My personal take, is that when workers earn a living wage/salary, it promotes and fosters, better engaged employees, better wellness in employees and ultimately better for the business and by extension, a better, just, fair and more inclusive society.
Busting your ass in school (as with most things in life), is always a good idea and helps to smooth out life's wrinkles. But it would seem we aren't all cut from the same cloth and don't all walk the same path in life and lord knows, life is full of surprises and wrinkles.
IMHO in the end, I guess it's more of a moral issue than anything.
The simple answer is...I think it just comes down to, "DO THE RIGHT THING".
So let me ask you a set of questions in the same moral vein:
Q. What did slaves do to earn their freedom?
So I imagine a number of bigoted/racist plantation owners (back-in-the-day for example) would have argued; aren't my slaves feed, clothed and sheltered for their labour and shouldn't that be enough for them to live out their days? So why would I ruin my plantation business and grant them their freedom?

You wear a vasco de gama shirt.
I wear a TEAM USA shirt down the streets of copa.
You live in the Brazil.
I pillage and loot the lands of SP and RJ and go back to the empire.
You hesitate to let the cariocas know you are an american while looking like an average gringo american.
I proudly boast of my amerrican identity while looking like a south american to let them know we are not the same.
I recall you shaking in your sandals to speak english in centro.
I spoke the king's english with my american mercenary brothers in arms at full volume.
You carry a knife and taser.
I carry a 24 K gold plated 45 ACP 1911.
You've been gone so long you forgot what a cultural imperialist is.

Could you imagine going to bestbuy and asking an employee a question or to ring you up and after the sale they ask for a tip.
That can kindly fuck off.
I pay for my TV. Thats it.
I don't pay the bestbuy guys salary.
I pay for my burger.
Not a fucking employees wage.
Charge me $2 more for the burger instead of making me pay 30% tip.

If you don't give her anything she will or will not but doesn't matter because you still have your money.
I literally said in my last post that they don't care about you and so don't worry about tipping or not.
If they like you they'll come over and just fuck. I've had that happen a good amount of time and so have many others but if you tip her she's always going to expect money with each and every meeting and not see you as a good fuck. It's a nice bonus but you fuck it up by giving her money for nothing.
Don't export the worse part of the US to this fertile land.
Just had friends come back from Japan and Italy and they loved how they didn't have to tip and got amazing service everywhere because that's how things are supposed to work!
Once they landed back in the ol USA their first meal had an automatic gratuity fee added and a suggested 25% tip for the server.
Stop. Tipping.
Just stop.

Posts: 2245It's all true.
I am a cultural imperialist, and Ugly American as the Americans say or an Ugly Suisse, I want the hoar to speak the good diplomatic and financial English I learned while running dictator money on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Yes, I dream about coming to South Central LA, buying a big house from a judge in Manhattan Beach and fuckin up the 'hood with hoars from the streets of Figuroa and Normandie, with their negra asses hanging out on the front lawn amid all the patricinhas and patricios, offering to suck judge's dicks for 70 brazilian reais, but only if the judge pays in Reais and if the judge wears a vasco the gama shirt.

Always make it transactional.
If you just tip her then she loses respect for you as a man.
The amount of girls I have hooked up with and trashed and made fun of her gringo suitors is crazy.
They see it as simp behavior and treat it as such.
The local brazilians would never do that and if they could do so, wouldn't.
This society is very macho and the girls respect that rule.
If you're really good, they'll come over just to fuck and hang out. They don't have to but they want to.
They don't care about you so don't worry about it.
Once you open that box, she's going to have a sick mom, a dead dad and a dog with cancer all in one week and you're mr. Banks.
Treat them with respect, wash your body and your teeth and pay her what she is due and keep it at that.

I know a british guy who moved to Brazil 4 years ago, is married and lives in rio and has great porto skills.
I also know a venezuela girl who grew up speaking spanish, moved to Canada to work and learned english, got stuck in Brazil during covid and stayed and made a business and learned porto fluently in 2 years so it is very doable to learn porto especially in a country with very friendly locals.
So I would not use felipe rat to learn porto because clearly it aint done ya nuthing two gud (look I'm using kodak black to learn English!
Also you came to her country.
Thats what they do.
Shit even in the united states the same 20/21 girl is listening to rap and watching another serial killer series.
Same shit.
That's why I go for girls 25-29.
I'm in my 20's and I fucking hate being around 19-21 yr girls.

Posts: 65Stop tipping
Non stop have girls been asking me for tips after already paying them and fucking them. Got asked this in 4 x4, Perola Negra, Monte Carlo, and in the other Centro terma. They are asking as if they are used to getting tips although the reality is no South American even knows what a tip is.
Please stop tipping the girls because you could ruin it for the rest of us. Tipping her isn't going to make her like you more. Of all things, being firm but respectful of the fact that you paid already will make her respect you more (which gets you better outcomes).

People want help but don't want to help themselves first by putting just a little work. Then get uppity when the answer (the important part) is not phrased the way you/they expect it. I do not enjoy telling people if they just searched, they would be able to find information (especially on this forum for which plenty of information can be acquired if people just RTFF) on the contrary I am just stating the facts. I answered because I want to help members. Now I wish I had not answered based on your response (that now may be my attitude in the future). But in this day and age it's just easy to be lazy and ask away. Unless you're trolling for basic answers for questions you don't truly know the answers to, then you should show gratitude no matter how the answer is phrased.
When you ask for help, you don't get to dictate how the answer is delivered.
