There are few things, the world over, that women fine more attractive than a man who constantly bickers with everyone over a few dollars.

The term "Cheap Bastard" doesn't even require a translation.

Exactly. No idea why that apartment owner would bicker about someone wanting to pay the price that was advertised.

Of course the woman may not find the bickering attractive and may find the term cheap bastard acceptable, until she is the one that is expected to pay. That is when you find out who the real cheap bastard is. It is easy to freely spend money that belongs to others as most women have the pleasure of doing. It is great not having the pressure to impress anyone.

Above is a link to a very, very insightful and on target essay... Over the years, I have met many Brazilians who have asked me, "Why?" Why is Brazil so screwed up? Why are countries in Europe and North America so prosperous and safe while Brazil continues to go through the same cycles of growth and collapse over and over again?

Affordable credit coupled with the willingness and ability to pay it back. And if that fails, there is bankruptcy court to fall back on. Plus a touch of socialism. This makes it easy for the average Joe to purchase things such as a house, car, education, vacation, etc. So whereas most countries consist of the haves and have nots, we also have the people with credit.

Barring murder, I am not going to tell on any of my friends either. In the USA you do not find a courtroom full of the defendant's friends as witnesses for the prosecution as the author of that piece would have you believe.

Above is a link to a very, very insightful and on target essay about the differences between Brazil and America. Without agreeing or disagreeing with the Exec Talent or the other fellow ISG members, I will just say that I think the author in his piece, which I quote below, absolutely nails it. While I agree with Exec Talent's sarcastic point that women hate a cheap bastard, I also absolutely hate that all or most Brazilians are super cheap with Americans, or all foreigners, yet, especially now are so damn desperate for our dinheiro. Mark Manson nails it in that the normal Brazilian justifies this selfishness for her community, while absolutely despising and looking down on all outside her little circle.

Dear Brazil,

Carnaval is over. The "real" new year is finally beginning. And tomorrow, I will be leaving, returning to my country.

Like most gringos, I originally came to Brazil for the parties, the beaches, and the girls. Little did I know that I would spend the majority of the next four years within your borders. I would learn a lot about your culture, your language, your customs, and by the end of this year, I will marry one of your girls.

It's no secret that there are big problems in Brazil. There's a political crisis, an economic crisis, constant safety concerns, huge income inequality, and now with the outbreak of Zika, apparently a health crisis.

Over the years, I have met many Brazilians who have asked me, "Why?" Why is Brazil so screwed up? Why are countries in Europe and North America so prosperous and safe while Brazil continues to go through the same cycles of growth and collapse over and over again?

In the past, I've had theoretical conversations about systems of government, colonial histories, economic policies, and so on. These are clearly some valid explanations for the problems. But lately, I've come to another conclusion. A conclusion that many people would probably find offensive, but upon mentioning it to a few of my Brazilian friends, they urged me to write about it and share it.

So here it is: it's you.

You are the problem.

Yes, you reading this, you are the problem. I'm sure you don't mean to be, but you are actively participating in the problem and perpetuating it. Every day.

Because it's not just about Dilma or PT. It's not the banks or the construction companies or Petrobras or even the crappy Real.

It is the culture. It is the beliefs and mindsets that form the foundation of how the Brazilian people choose to think about their lives and their country.

The problem is what you and everyone around you has decided to accept as OK, even when nothing about it is OK.

Imagine you are riding in the car with your friend late one night. Your friend is driving down a dark street with nobody on it. He has been drinking and he's not paying attention when suddenly he crashes into an expensive parked car. Before anybody can see what happened, he drives off.

The next day, the police knock on your door mentioning that a car was damaged on a street nearby and they're wondering if you know anything about it.

What would you do? Would you: A) lie and say you don't know anything and protect your friend? Or B) tell the officer what happened and force your friend to take responsibility for his mistake.

I believe most Brazilians would choose A. I believe most gringos would choose be. And this is essentially why gringo countries are rich and functional and Brazil is not. In gringo countries, there is a sense that justice and responsibility are more important than any specific individual. It is a social consciousness. It is the bedrock of a highly functional society and to ignore it is a form of selfishness.

Most Brazilians have sacrificed a great deal for their family and their closest friends and because of this, they don't believe they are selfish.

But I believe that Brazilian culture is inherently selfish. Only caring about your family and close friends is still a form of selfishness.

You know all of those corrupt politicians and businessmen and police and workers unions? You know why they're corrupt? I guarantee you that almost every corrupt Brazilian official justifies the lying and stealing to themselves by saying, "I'm doing this for my family. " They want to give their family a better life, send their kid to a better school, move and live in a safer neighborhood.

A Brazilian will regularly screw over strangers in order to benefit their family and then call it altruism. This is not altruism. Altruism is giving up your own interests for strangers and for the greater good of society at large.

But there's also a vanity involved. I was surprised when I first learned that calling somebody "vain" in Portuguese is not seen as insulting as it is in English. Now I believe this is another key distinction between the two cultures.

A few weeks ago, my fiancee and I traveled to a famous beach in Brazil. We were disappointed. The water was dirty. The beach was ugly. The famous rock nearby was half the size we expected.

When we returned to São Paulo and told some friends this, their first response was, "Well, you still took pictures in front of it, right?

It seems like such a small and innocent statement, but to me, it illustrates the core of another problem with Brazilian culture: people care way more about how they appear than how they actually are.

Now, Brazil isn't the only country with this problem, but I find it more extreme here than almost anywhere else I've ever been.

It's why rich Brazilians will gladly spend two or three times more for a shirt or piece of jewelry than they should or hire nannies and housekeepers when they could easily raise their own kids and clean the house themselves: because it makes them look and feel more rich. It's why Brazilians buy everything in 12 or 24 installments: because they want to look like they can afford a television when they actually can't. It's why some poor Brazilians are willing to shoot somebody for a motorbike or kidnap a person for a few thousand reais: because they want to appear successful without contributing to society to earn it.

A lot of gringos believe that Brazilians are lazy. I don't think Brazilians are lazy. On the contrary, Brazilians have more energy than most other people I've seen in the world (see: Carnaval).

The problem is that Brazilians focus all of their energy on vanity instead of productivity, on appearing popular and glamorous rather than actually doing something to make them popular or glamorous, on making others think they are successful rather than actually being successful.

Vanity is not happiness. Vanity is a bullshit Photoshopped version of happiness. It looks nice but it isn't real and it definitely does not last.

Vanity is self-defeating. If you need to buy something that's way more expensive than it should be to feel special, then you are not special. If you need to pay someone to make you feel special, then you are not special. If you need to hurt somebody or lie to somebody or cheat somebody to feel successful, then you are not successful. In this case, shortcuts do not work.

Instead, what vanity does is causes you to tolerate shitty behavior from those around you. When you're so concerned about what others think about you, that others will see you as glamorous or fun or popular, you are willing to tolerate bad relationships where your partner constantly cheats on you, bad friendships where your friends are disrespectful towards you, or bad family relationships where you are left unappreciated and unheard.

In Brazil, if someone is an hour late, everybody else stops and waits for them. If someone wants to leave and go on their own, then they are an asshole. If somebody in a family fucks up and wastes all of their money, other members of the family are supposed to give money to them. If somebody in the family gets a great job and makes a lot of money, they're supposed to give money to everybody else. If someone in a group of friends doesn't want to do something, everyone else is expected to not do it. If someone in a group of friends wants to do something on their own, they're seen as ant****ial and selfish.

As a gringo who generally doesn't care what people think about me, I find it very hard to not see these situations as disrespectful and self-sabotaging. In circumstance after circumstance, I watch Brazilians reward the victim and socially punish the person who independently succeeds.

When you reward a person for failing or losing or doing something wrong, you give them no incentive to ever improve or get better. In fact, you make them completely reliant on those around them rather than teaching them how to support themselves and how to create something out of themselves.

When you punish somebody for being more successful than others, you discourage the most talented and ambitious from creating the progress and innovation that the country needs. You hold back the very people that are going to pull you out of this mess in the first place and you make room for the manipulative and mediocre leaders to take their place.

Don't you see? When you socially punish people for their successes, then the only way to be successful is to be a lying, deceitful asshole. That is, you get Brazil.

Sometimes the best thing you can do to a friend who is always late is to leave without them. Because this forces them to learn how to manage their time and respect other people's time.

Sometimes the best thing you can do to a person who wasted all their money is let them struggle and be desperate for a while. Because that's the only way they will learn to be responsible in the future.

Sometimes the best thing you can say to a family member who is upset is simply to "get over it" because how else will they ever move on with their life?

I don't want this to sound like I'm the gringo who knows everything. I don't. And god knows my country is pretty fucked up too (I've already written a 15-page article about fucked up shit in the US).

But soon, Brazil, you will be a permanent part of my life. You will be part of my family. You will be my friend. You will be half of my child when I have one.

And it's because of this, I feel I must share all of this with you openly, honestly, and with the love in which one friend speaks frankly to another, even though it hurts.

And also, because it's not going to get better.

Maybe you already realize this. But if you don't, then I will be the one to tell you: it's not going to get better anytime soon. Your government will simply not be able to pay everything it owes soon unless you redo your entire constitution. The big businesses that drive your economy borrowed way too much cheap money back in 2008-2010 and they're probably not going to be able to pay it back. Many of them will go bankrupt in the coming years causing an even worse crisis. Commodities prices are at extreme lows and show no signs of going higher, meaning there's no more money coming into the country. You are a population of debtors and over-spenders in a shrinking job market and your taxes are so high that they are strangling productivity out of the population.

You are fucked. You can get rid of Dilma. You can get rid of PT. You can lower taxes and redo your constitution (and you should), but it doesn't matter. The mistakes were already made years ago and you are going to have to live through it.

You are looking at at least 5-10 years of lost opportunities. If you are a young Brazilian, much of what you grew up expecting to achieve will no longer be available. If you are an adult in your 30's or 40's, your best economic years are likely behind you. If you are over 50, well, you've seen this movie before, haven't you?

It's the same old story, just a different decade. Democracy did not fix the problem. A strong Real did not fix the problem. Bringing millions of people out of poverty did not fix the problem.

The problem remains. Because the problem is the mentality of the people. The problem is certain facets of what is an otherwise beautiful and exuberant culture.

O jeitinho must die. The toxic vanity must die. The lack of accountability in your relationships must die. And the only way to kill these things is through enough Brazilians consciously choosing to change them within themselves.

Unlike the external revolutions that have been so common throughout your history, your revolution needs to be internal, a coup that takes place inside your heart and inside your mind.

You must choose to see things in a new way. You must set new standards and expectations for yourself and for others. You must demand that your time be respected. You must expect the people around you to be accountable for their actions. You must prioritize a safe and strong society above your own interests or the interests of your family and friends. You must let those around you handle their own problems, just as you must not expect anyone else to handle yours.

These are the choices that must be made every day. And until this internal revolution takes place, I fear you are destined to repeat the same mistakes for many more generations to come.

There is a joy inside Brazil that is both rare and special. It's what attracted me to this country many years ago and it will keep me coming back. I just hope that one day that joy has the society it deserves.

Your friend,

Mark.

There are few things, the world over, that women fine more attractive than a man who constantly bickers with everyone over a few dollars.

The term "Cheap Bastard" doesn't even require a translation.

This makes me happy. When I was down there for carnaval I ended up booking a place for New Years. It was like $42/day. The owners wrote to me wanting to cancel because they had not jacked the price up yet. I fought them about it, but they still canceled. Hotelsdot gave me a $100 voucher for the inconvenience. I hope they end up with no renter for that shit since stuff is canceled.

Infelizmente ando poderemos confirmar sua reserva. O calendrio foi aberto por engano enquanto ainda estvamos ajustando o anncio. Pedimos que entre them contato com a Expedia solicitando o cancelamento. J fechamos o calendrio completamente. Estamos tentando cancelar a reserva por aqui tambm. Obrigada e desculpe o engano.

Today, Sunday, I scouted out a condominium across the street from my current spot, Transamerica. This is the Riviera del fiori, which has a open pool. I kind of talked my way into the pool and jumped into the pool for some laps, then made friends. Tomorrow, I have a visit scheduled.

The price quoted is 2800 r / mes for a 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen, and of course a veranda, and most importantly an open pool, gym, and kitchen. Here in Transamerica, the pool is closed but supposed to be opening in August. So I may give it another month. The main draw would be to check out the pool scene because as I have said, Transamerica is basically a prostitute / hooker / ho-tel no tel. It is great!

But, let me just monger on, describing my last few days.

Tonight, I have a regular sleeping next to me. She came over, we did the usual eat / fuck while watching my playlist from evilangel.com. She's a regular, and we get along well, will do a pernoite. I pay 400 reais.

Saturday morning, at about 0300, I went to Mosaico and Vila Mimosa. It is rocking! The top talent at Mosico is worth the 30 r entrada. I got 2 or 3 numbers. As usual most girls want you to do a session. The best girls are so hot, top tier terma talent.

But there are not a lot of negras in Mosaico.

Vila Mimosa is back in full swing, and that is where the best Negras are. I finally pulled the trigger at about 0600 with a little 19 year old darling mulatta with a fresh face, nice natural titties, and a sweet pussy. I was her first fuck as she had just arrived. I had been trying to session with her, so glad I did.

I paid 70 r which is what, 14 united states dollars. Woo hooo.

I had earlier on Friday banged my new Rio wife, a 22 year old negra who is giving me her three holes bare. Our birth control is I cum up her ass, which I did twice that day after marathon banging her pussy. Anyway, she comes over at 1100, we fuck all afternoon. She was supposed to do pernoite, and she kind of tried to change the deal, so I kind of blew her off for a few hours while I left her in barra while I took buses around Rio. To be exact, I took the 302 bus from barra garden shopping to rodoviaria, the bus station. I like getting to know the local bus routes. This route goes over boa vista. It is beautiful, even at night. I love riding the buses, mainly for the people watching. The locals love their uber, and I can understand why. But I hate paying the extra expense, and I love the bus. Apparently Germans love riding the local buses to get cheap tours. I could not agree more. Anyway, I ended up paying her 300 r for the 8 hours she stayed with me. I hate overpaying. I do love her three holes.

All is well.

Looking forward to seeing some of you on the ground again.

Bad news, if you don't have these events then you don't need tourists. I think the airlines already got the message because for early next year American Airlines for example cancelled their nonstops from NY to GIG and they had 2 nonstops from Miami now only one daily and from Houston they route you through Miami. So reduced capacity for sure. I don't see any airlines having a nonstop anymore from NY, too bad Iv'e enjoyed this for quite some time now but will have to adapt for changing times. Well Carnaval is 6 months away, this lockdown is only 4 months old now, perhaps things will open up. What about you few guys on the ground now, when did you get in? Before the lockdowns? I know one got tested for HIV, what about Covid LOL, are girls still available in the places downtown and MABS? Are girls walking around with masks? No more DFK? LOL.

And I'm only fucking her. .

I am only fucking her bare. This week haha.

As Shakespeare said.

My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun.

I do believe her though I know she lies.

As Hemingway wrote in death in the afternoon.

In Portugal the wives are more beautiful than the mistresses.

Of course, she's only giving all her holes bare to you and nobody else ...

[Vagabundo1]

Haha.

We tested negative for HIV and the other diseases I don't react to.

Of course, she's only giving all her holes bare to you and nobody else ...

[Sperto]

I wifed up my favorite negra and she is giving me all her holes bare, we are tested, and I'm happy. But of course, I sneak off the the working girls on the other floors.

I've been in Transamerica for a month. It is great.

First, thanks for this post, and thanks for this network.

Cost is 2200 r per month. Awesome 22nd floor view on the veranda of barra coastline.

Logistics are a bit more distanced. 343 bus from central / centro goes to Metro Jardim Botanica. Proprietary bus from Transamerica (395 Av Gastao Senges) goes straight to cinelandia / US Consulate hourly from 0610 to 2000. Uber of course, 50 r to most spots in zona sul.

The working girls are outstanding! This is literally a working girl-tel!!

The hottest working girls from Sao Paulo to Minas Gerais come here. To working girl.

The working girl doctor (plastic surgeon) here is my buddy. How's that for inside baseball.

I wifed up my favorite negra and she is giving me all her holes bare, we are tested, and I'm happy. But of course, I sneak off the the working girls on the other floors.

Some residents here wife up a working girl 24/7 and just lay in bed.

Will send some more ho pics soon.

Last month I had a 3-day weekend in Rio. Decided to get an Airbnb in Barra and unlike most times I rented something that wasn't in front of the beach. The exact address was Avenida Gasto Sengs 395 apartment 1507-1, Barra the Tijuca, RJ 22631-280, Brasil AKA Transamerica.

Without even trying I unsuspectedly booked an apartment in a highrise building (part hotel and part apartment residence) that is ground zero to a bunch of independent working girls. All three of my "GDP" acquaintances that came through during the weekend confirmed it and were wondering how I knew about it. Apparently, the rent is quite cheap and many of the girls share apartments. The setup is either you're a guest of the hotel, or a client that they see in their building. The pool is where the magic happens to check out the scene. I was impressed, went downstairs with a "girlfriend" and saw a lot of bunda by the pool which is where they advertise. It was a sight to see considering this place is also a residential building with kids and families. In order to get to the pool though you have to check-in at reception and get a wristband so that you can use the facilities. The security guards and some taxi drivers also confirmed that it was known as "Transamerica" and a spot for the hobby..

Follow her on Instagram dianaresende92. She has an amazing body and doggy is incredible. I have her number too if needed.

I will take the number. Considering that she has been all over the world, it will be interesting to see how much she charges.

What was your experience with her?
