[QUOTE=Java Man;1165115]$2400usd for coach? Not to pry, but is / was this a last minute decision to fly to Rio? And leaving on a weekend? Just wondering why it's so high.[/QUOTE]Right around Carnaval time so no not last minute, I didn't buy it I bought Tam instead at $972. That was for American Airlines, they have a good flight non-stop from JFK but their price is unrealistic.
Anyone have any recommendations on Brazil dating sites where I have a reasonable chance of meeting non-professional (not garota de programa) girls?
I have heard of Brazil Cupid. Jdate doesn't operate in Brazil, and I don't know how good Match. Com is. Any suggestions?
I'm getting a bit tired of fishing in the pool of terma / private chicks. Wondered if online would be a better way to meet "normal" girls. Students, careers, etc.
Me: living in Rio since October, good Porto, exec with an internet company here in Copa.
I'm not big on clubbing etc. I have had reasonable experiences in the USA with Match, etc.
Thanks!

-Cartman[/QUOTE]Latin American Cupid was always my favorite because there is a selection of women from all over the world and there is a bigger pool. For instance at this very moment on Brazil Cupid there are 227 women online. On Latin American Cupid there are 947 women online.

I am pretty sure the BrazilCupid members are a subset of the LatAm ones. So it doesn't help me if LatAm has more women outside of Brazil / Rio. I am looking for a good online dating site with women in Rio, where I live. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
I did check Plenty Of Fish and the selection in Rio seemed super weak. Anyone have experience with Match. Com down here?
[QUOTE=Eric Cartman;1165565]No. Never heard of them before.

You can experiment to see if they offer what you are looking for without registering or making a commitment. If you don't like them, move on.
[QUOTE=Eric Cartman;1165567]I did check Plenty Of Fish and the selection in Rio seemed super weak. Anyone have experience with Match. Com down here?[/QUOTE]I used Match. Com from 2004 to 2009 and had luck with it and I only visited Rio twice a year. If you live in Rio then you should do very well. Most of the women I met were educated lovely ladies who were looking for serious relationships or so they said. I had a lot of fun with it and may do it again but was a lot of work for me especially because I didn't live in Rio so I had to act fast.

Parfeito didn't seem user friendly to me at all so I let it fall by the wayside. On Brazil Cupid and Latin American Cupid you can make a profile and do a search for Rio and judge from that without paying. In my experience the same women do not use both sites. And I have met many more in Rio from Latin American Cupid (more than 20) than from Brazil Cupid (maybe 2 or 3).

atlanta — four brazilian women sued an american fishing tour operator on tuesday, claiming that he coerced them with alcohol, drugs and the promise of money to perform sex acts with tourists on his boat along the amazon.
the federal complaint targets richard schair, a georgia man who until 2009 operated the wet-a-line tours. it contends he recruited the four **** brazilians and others from an impoverished community and duped them into performing sex acts on him and his customers, who were often affluent american travelers.
schair told the associated press he is innocent and that the claims originated in a "quest by a competitor to ruin me" but declined further comment.
the lawsuit in federal court in north georgia was brought by four unnamed plaintiffs who said they were between 12 and 17 when the sex acts took place. it was filed by attorneys from atlanta law firm king & spalding and coordinated by equality now, a human rights group.
"with this lawsuit, we hope to shine a spotlight on such conduct and the real harm it does to the victims, and to get justice for the victims," said john harbin, the attorney who filed the complaint.
schair began operating the tours in 1998, and eventually began running weeklong trips along rivers and basin aboard his boat, the amazon santana. he began to actively recruit "sex tourism" customers from the usa to come on the tours, and many of his clients were wealthy americans, the lawsuit said.
but the fishing expeditions gave way to wild parties that involved **** girls, drugs and sex, the complaint said. schair sent fishing guides and other employees into the community of autazes and a nightclub along the amazon to recruit young girls and buy drugs. in return, it said, they were paid a "modest" sum of money.
"the girls, including the plaintiffs, were impoverished and the possibility of earning money on the boat was a significant inducement," the lawsuit said.
one of the girls said she was 12 when she was persuaded to come aboard the boat, and then forced to have sex. another plaintiff said she refused to have sex with a passenger on the boat when she was 16, but then returned about a year later and this time was forced to use drugs and have sex.
taina bien-aimé, the executive director of equality now, said she hopes the lawsuit sends a message to suspected sex tour operators "that sex trafficking victims anywhere can bring a case against those who exploit them by pressing for damages in the usa"

Hi.
I am going to try my first terma next week. The general feedback from chaps with similar interests seems to be Luomo for a non-portuguese speaking gringo. Any views on this? If anyone is at a loose end next Friday pm me!
I am also going to hit a Privee on Rua Branco. 181 seems a decent bet. But the website shows an address elsewhere (R. The Conceição. 19. Centro). Which is the right place?
Any pointers welcome.
Cheers.
Mark

Mark[/QUOTE]I walked in to the place to check out the line up in person as oppossed to just relying on the pictures online. There really was not a garota that caught my attention and make me pull the trigger. So I walked out. The place did look clean and oraganized, but thats about it.
