You are preaching to the choir brother. Last time I sent a chick home in an Uber and she asked me how much she needed to pay him. When another chick came in Uber she was looking for change to pay the driver. I'm like it is already paid! Then there are plenty of chicks that have come from all over Brazil to see me in Rio using their own money.

Dominicans want you to wire money to them before they come across town to see you. Usually under the guise of beautifying themselves for you, they tell you to send them $100 when it only costs $10 to do their hair $5 to take a taxi to you.

I have been on cupid for 13 years. Wouldn't have it any other way when traveling through Latin America. Shit, have even met some chicks in the USA on the site.

I really find the dominican attitude off putting. Met 2 good hearted ones but the rest are too quick to ask, take etc I know they are poor but it kills my vibe a bit. They are absolutely stunning but seems like they are in USA's shadow and it's pimp or get pimped. I much prefer Brazilian girls' Vibe. Colombians were cool too-more looking for a novio.

I've got to give Brazil a huge compliment. I have been using all the cupid sites for 3 years plus and have spoken to maybe 800+ ladies from BR. Only 2 asked for financial assistance. 2 Out Of 800!

Only 2 asked for financial assistance. 2 Out Of 800!Colombian girls also never asked. African sites, Dominican sites and here in UK all did frequently. The Brazilians restore my faith online. Have met so many good people through there who wouldn't dream of soliciting online. DRCupid I met one good one looool- I think the countries with a stronger national identity and culture help avoid the I want to find a gringo and move syndrome. Sure Brazilians want to but many don't. Povertbplays a part and also opportunism. I'm proud to say I have gotten 4 girls banned from cupid sites as they were so deceitful I wanted to spare others the hassle LOL. Abraços.

In the Rio reporting thread a member mentioned bringing chocolates to a brothel owner. He also mentioned her by name.

Brazilians of all the people I have encountered in the world, have a knack for remembering names. I am good at this because I have worked at it and conscious of the importance (Dale Carnegie), however, Brazilians, regardless of where I meet them always use my name several times during our discussions. My point is to not always think in terms of money. Learning the language, remembering and using names, small thoughtful gifts can open doors money never will. People ask me all the time how to succeed with non-pros. It often starts with having being nice. When I was in Spain the locals, who I just met, took me to after hours clubs and introduced me to their female friends. In Japan, I have been to many places gaijins never see. Often the guys who really have it going on are not the ones bragging about what they did to whom and how many times, but the guys who give you insights on human behavior.

I miss the old Chicklet lady from Help.

The formula 1 drivers just got held up by gunpoint in Brazil, this will be international news. I also just read recently that Brazil's tourism has dropped 30% this year because of news like this about violence. I did notice that for the upcoming summer season hotels in Rio are going for a good price but airfares are still very high and I can see that the planes are not full. But in comparison the summer season for Europe the airfares are better and the planes are more full. I can't imagine why they are holding the airfares to Brazil still so high. Personally I'm ok because I will be using points but if the airfares were better I might have bought instead.

Don't understand why Brazilian airfares from the States are so high. When the Brazilian economy was down in the dumps last cycle early to mid 2000's, the airlines sold deeply discounted tickets through ticket consolidators like 1-800-BACCRIO, bacctravel.com and brol.com. I'm not sure that business model is in operation anymore where the airlines sell empty seats quietly.

Rather than deeply discount tickets, I think the airlines simply now lower frequent flyer mileage award requirements for Brazil travel. They make a frequent flyer happy and they get some miles out of circulation. That's what me thinks.

If anyone knows of a backdoor to buying cheap air tickets to Brazil, I think everyone would love to hear more.

It seems like you've been lured in by Florianopolis and the mythical Brasilian blonde. Make sure you do plenty of research. Many guys here meet Southern Brasilian working girls in Sao Paulo and comment how awesome the South must be when they actually have no experience down there. I imagine there are beaches and beautiful Brasilians, but the mongering scene seems to be sparse. ISG doesn't receive a lot of reports.

Your search for a wingman is a good idea. I don't know how open Floripa women are to foreigners with no Porto language. As a general rule, Brasilian blonde non-pros who know English are going to take a lot more game.

I'm curious. Why have you ruled out the Northeast? Are you interested in blondes?

I think I maybe have been lured by Florianopolis and the lack of information on it. A wing-man is a good idea in my opinion as you can share stories as well as being safer. I am not interested in blondes specifically but I am attracted to them, Latinas and all other types.

We all can read about the economy on the internet.

How about some firsthand reports on the purpose of this forum- having sex with women?

This is the general info thread and this subject matter is appropriate here. You must be thinking about the Rio report thread.

You really need to learn to use the Report Post button instead of crying about the thread misdirection.

I'm in Brazil right now and a lot of locals told me to be careful at night. Also last year I went to a few favelas, now a lot of locals have warned me to stay away, A lot of shootings and hold ups are happening. I would say if your interested in buying real estate I would wait until around next year because everything is going to drop in value, A lot of business are closing because they can't afford the rent.

Sad. Be aware of where you are and be careful out there.

It was Lewis Hamilton's crew too. He's the top Formula 1 driver in the world! I understand from reports that some Formula 1 executives were targeted too, but they managed to get away without being harmed.

you know how many times I read tourist would like to visit Brazil, but they choose other countries because the hassle of getting a visa and even with the E-Visa you still have to pay $160?.

A one-time visa fee good for 10 years the life of your passport is hardly an obstacle that should keep even the densest American from being able to figure out how to get himself to Brazil.

[Rio Bob]

Personally think they should just get rid of the visa requirement to help with tourism. Do you know how many times I read tourist would like to visit Brazil, but they choose other countries in south america like Chile because the hassle of getting a visa and even with the E-Visa you still have to pay $160?. I know some guys will say its because the USA requires it but remember who is in a recession? Brazil is on hard times so every dollar counts especially tourist dollars.

The real reason is due to the policy of Reciprocity. What a Brazilian citizen has to pay to travel to the USA, an American citizen must pay to travel to Brazil. Check it out.

I know, Americans are not the kings of the world. That's the only good thing the Brazilian administration does. It is the same for us Canadians, we also have to travel with a visa. I don't care because I use an European passport when I travel to Brazil. We all have to pay somehow or other. I pay for both my passports' renewal.
