Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Bubba Boy]

My experience is that the men do not realize or underestimate what is required to make a relationship work with a woman from another culture. They have never been successful with women and are anxious to get her home and show her off to their friends.

Same old over simplistic view. It is kind of normal for a Brazilian to see other people whilst in relationship. If you try and change this then you do not understand Brazilian culture.

[Exec Talent]

Always puzzled when a guy wants to turn a working girl into a wife. Maybe watching too many "Pretty Woman" like movies or something. But, what a contradiction, turning a chic who is used to fucking many men a week into a single man woman. Everyone woman I know who has been a working girl and is married to someone I know via other acquaintances is cheating on their husband not one is faithful. That is the norm not the exception.

I know many who are faithful. I was friends with one woman in the US, with a heart of gold, who helped me learn Portuguese and understand Brazilian culture. She had been married to an American who cheated on her. She later married another American who appreciated her and as far as I know are still together. My experience is that the men do not realize or underestimate what is required to make a relationship work with a woman from another culture. They have never been successful with women and are anxious to get her home and show her off to their friends. Or, they are men whom have had one failed relationship with an American woman after another. For some odd reason they think that a Brazilian woman who doesn't speak English or if she does, not very well, can't work and will be homesick five mintutes after she arrives, is the ideal candidate for a wife.

All they are thinking about is the great sex they now will get for free and how envious all other guys will be of them.

It is easy on this forum to blame the GDPs. Survey says that it was the man who got bored with his puppy and when he couldn't take her back, went out to play with another one.

[Voyajer1]

All these girls keep a lot of "Options" available, even if they quit the so called "GDP" game. I met such a girl a few years back who was working in one of the best brothels in the city while going to school. She clearly has been interested in me for a long time, but I know through other sources that she has many other guys that she sees on the side. I have been around for a long time and knew that she lied all the time to cover her tracks.

Fast forward to the last trip I took. She "Confessed" that she not only sees other guys on the side, but she charges them to compliment her pay from her new career, which is farly decent. I guess she felt some level of guilt by not being upfront with me about her secondary gig. I told her it does not matter and I understand her circumstances, so she should not worry about my feelings. Heck, I enjoy the variety of ass that I myself tend to seek and crave when I am in Rio myself and she knows all the people that I do when there anyway, that GDP network is unavoidable if you go there often.

She looked so relieved after that encounter that we had a really tremendous session that day, one of the best I've had in my life. I guess she thought she was hurting my feelings or something by being deceiptful. I think that by being honest made her feel better and she rewarded me with a mind-blowing encounter. As I told this gal before, there is no way I'll stop seeing her, ever, she has the flattest stomach combined with the best looking waist, hips, legs, ass and ass that I've ever seen. Just a really curvy as hell, soft and firm everywhere, velvet mouth and tremendous bedroom skills. Even so, I still like to go and seek new ass, after all, this IS Rio.

My point is, that I agree with you totally, can't change the girl's nature. If they are wired like us, loving the variety out there, you cannot change their ways, no matter what you do as we cannot cure our urge for that " Other piece of candy".

I often hear stories of guys "falling in love" or "falling for" GDP's. I have yet to even come close to developing any feelings for a GDP. Maybe it's just cultural differences but I just have never had a strong emotional connection with any of them. Sure, a lot of them are cool to hang out with but I haven't met one that is super smart, witty, or charismatic. Of course, part of the issue is the language barrier where my Portuguese isn't great. But even with the English speaking ones, there is no emotional connection. It could be my subconscious always telling me "this girl ain't the one for you" so there's no way for me to fall for one of these girls.

Couldn't agree with you more. I met a girl online in July who is a bar girl here in Thailand. Of course I have never given her money because I met her online and not at work. So last night (which would be this morning USA east coast time)...

Piya (9/22/2011 9:05:36 AM) : I have bf now. Sorry I not want to tell you about this.

Me: ok. Chok dee. Why not want to tell? It is good for you.

Piya: because am not sure about he. Am have he be 4 I met you. And I though you know that too.

Me: how I can know? You tell me you not have.

Piya: that why I said to you maybe we not meet any more. I like you yeah.

Me: up to you.

Piya: yeah up 2 me. So you and me can't be friend.

Me: can.

Piya: if more then friend can too.

Me: what bf say?

Piya: I not tell.

Me: I not tell too

Hey Guys,

Big Fan of the site for a long time now. Had a quick question about 4X4. I thought I read it was raided and closed? What happened, it's open for business again? I'll be in Rio again in late October and it's one of my favorite spots.

Thanks!

Yes it is open, same as before.

A good friend of mine and fellow monger married a Help girl a couple of years ago. They have known each other 8 years and have 2 children together (allegedly). Well he travels for work and the other day while he was gone he looked on her facebook and a guy had left a message to the tune of "sorry for keeping you up last night, etc." He confronted her about it and she admitted to fucking the guy. To add insult to injury she would not fuck him so he immediately went to get a divorce packet. I think everyone can figure the moral of this story for themselves.

Real just hit 1. 84 today. My living expenses have dropped 25% from 3 months ago! Now if it can just get towards 2. 0.

[Almotu]

I suggest trying Barao do Flamengo, pernoite. It is on the Largo do Machado metro stop. The area is safe. Pernoite is 69R for 8PM to 12 noon next day. Below is a list of Rio Love Motels that I found on one of the Brazilian websites. I think another poster here said the zona sul motels are going upscale, but I think you might be able to find 12 hour deals for under 100R in the centro motels. I posted about this lodging technique earlier on this thread.

I like your idea of banging the Scortshow chicks at this hotel. You know they will be on time and easier to throw back the ones you don't like since they only have to walk about 3 blocks from the hotel. However since they don't have broadband I will probably not be able to stay there as my primary.

Since you have sessioned there can you walk through the process of checking in plus the arrivals of the Scortshow chicks? Can you book a festa with more than 2 girls? Will the hotel charge more than the R52 for 4 hours? Do they give you free bottled water?

Since Scortshow usually charge R40 roundtrip for taxi, I think this is a good idea. Plus you don't have to clean up. You can have them send you all the cute new ones that haven't been photographed yet for a go-see. The price difference is R12 plus your roundtrip Metro cost which is R6.40.

I have booked a trip for Carnival. I am using points to stay at a hotel pre-carnival but they will not let me use points during Carnival. Rates for a cheap hotel such as the one I have reserved is 750$/night and is nowhere near the beach (Rua Aprazivel 163 Santa Teresa

Rio de Janeiro 20241-270)

Since I will spend 5 days on the beach pre-carnival, I am not as concerned where I will stay during the carnival itself. I am looking for a Safe Clean place that is about half of the one I have reserved. I want to go to the Event probably Sunday the 19th which is the first main parade and then I will head out of town on the 20th. Any Ideas where I can stay during Carnival that will save me cash? Something that is away from Copa / Ipanema may be OK if there is transportation to the Parade.

Try one of the love motels in Centro, Lapa or Gloria. There are about 20 to choose from. If you rent a standard apartment room for 24 hours, the daily rate is only about R$ 200 and they do not raise the rates during Carnaval. You may not be able to reserve that far in advance without pre-paying for the room. Even if they will not take advance reservation you can usually rent the room one or two days before check-in. You will also be a short taxi ride to / from the Sambodromo.

Also, tickets for the parade are expensive. Any suggestions? Tickets run from 180-520$ for grand stands.

Is this the best place to buy tickets?

Sorry guys. Typing when very tired. I meant Arcoverde Metro stop. Which is Pretty well on Barata Ribeiro. I think the hostel I was talking about is called Mellow Yellow (just google) , and you can see it from Barata Ribeiro although it's just off the main road in Rua General Barbosa Lima. I haven't stayed there but remembered it as it is so handy for just about everything. (Same for stone of a beach).

One hostel I would definitely recommend, but maybe not to a newbie, is.

Rio Tijuca Hostel

, Rua Araujo Pena. 58. Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro.

I've stayed there twice for a couple of nights on arrival just to sort out an apartment and once when I was doing some work connected with the Uni Hospital. It's an easier drop from the airport than going through Centro to Copa or Sul, it's walking distance to Mimosa (which is how I know the Alfonso Pena way of getting there) and would be handy for Carnaval (although I've not used it for that). For a hostel, I think you could only describe it as positively luxurious.

I couldn't find the homepage link offhand, but I've added a general link with booking if anyone wants it.

[Poucolouco]

The Siqueira Campos metro stop actually exits either on Siqueira Campos or Figueiredo Magalhães with Tonelero being the closest cross street. Barata Ribeiro is another block up towards the beach.

http://www.metrorio.com.br/estacao_siqueiracampos.htm

The only hostel I know of near there actually is a relatively new one located on Teneiro Aranha (going away from the beach and Barata Ribeiro). L'uomo is in the shopping center next to the Siqueira Campos metro stop and on Tonelero there are a couple of small apartment / termas. Could you possibly be referring to metro stop Cardeal Arcoverde with Stone of a Beach and Mellow Yellow hostels nearby?

I believe Cristopherd may have been referring to Choice Hostel. It's directly across rua Tonelero from the Metro Figueiredo Magalhães exit. With any hostel in Rio I would suggest you be constantly alert to the possibility of theft. In the past couple of years there have been numerous invasions and armed assaults of tourists at Copacabana and Ipanema hostels. Checking the security of the hostel is recommended. However, in several of these incidents, employees of the hostels have been implicated in cospiracy with the invading robbers.

This definitely saved me some time on my search. I appreciate it!

I'm flying out on Sept. 21st to Rio. The agencies I've been working with to find an affordable apartment tell me that lodging prices are definitely affected. This is my first trip to Rio and I had no idea Rock in Rio was going on the day after I arrive. I'll definitely find out on the 22nd and pass along what I see. I'm used to Thailand prices and am actually considering testing out the hostels near the beach. R25 or so for a dorm spot. Sure I'll get beautiful sleep with 6-12 other smelly backpackers snoring and farting all night! If anyone knows where to find super cheap lodging where I won't get killed, please drop me a line. I'll be in Brazil til' November 30th.

Thanks,

Satyr
