Rio de Janeiro Reports

Security is something I have written a lot about in the last year and a half. Mainly it comes down to situational awareness. The biggest things are simple, like not being on your cell phone at a outdoor cafe in Copa or in Centro at night where the risk of theft is obvious and high.

Wingmen are key. Talk about security even minimally at first. Plan if there is a threat is go away and get into an uber, or if necessary a cop. Does your wingman have a basic level of fitness, and any martial arts or military experience? Can your wingman dial an uber, the police (190), an ambulance (192), a bombeiro (193) to where you are?

[QUOTE=Sperto;2559772]In general the brazilian capitals in the north and northeast are more violent than Rio de Janeiro. Most of the major cities have favelas with the presence of all the usual criminal organizations. Your safety depends on where you go and when. Many of these capitals have centros that are perfectly safe during daytime but are deserted and dangerous at nighttime. Some of the capitals have touristic bairros where you can feel quite safe at night. In 31 years I've never been mugged in Brazil. I think you could feel safe as long as you use common sense. On the other hand if you walk into the wrong street and are unlucky you might get robbed.[/QUOTE]

Someone added a report a couple of months back, in which they stated that security was looking at photo identification before entering the elevator in No Centro, specifically at Rio Branco 156 building. Can anyone verify if this has become the common practice now? I hope that is not the case. My assumption is that due to people wearing masks, it will deter potential mugging or theft.

[QUOTE=HelloIm;2559671]Love this topic. Question from a young guy who hasn't travelled to South America to monger yet, if there are talks of the "dangers" of walking around Centro Medellin or Rio and getting robbed, would the chances of those incidents happening be HIGHER in these backwaters of Brazil?

Granted, you are not walking around flashing money like an idiot.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Fact is if you're a blond blue eyed gringo in a third world country you have to be much more careful than the other guy. They're not racist, they're moneyist.

How popular is SA in Rio? Or Tinder? Where do you find semi-pros or non-pros?

Population of Rio is almost 7 million, however pickings on SA are extra slim, no stunners. Most girls have not been active / online for days, does not make sense to even message them.

Not interested in hardcore pros or brothels / strip clubs, etc because I prefer regular dates that end at my apartment rather than "wham bam thank you ma'am" type of sessions.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2559824]Fact is if you're a blond blue eyed gringo in a third world country you have to be much more careful than the other guy. They're not racist, they're moneyist.[/QUOTE]I use these rules in any urban environment, stateside or otherwise. 1) Act like you know where you're going. Walk with purpose and intention, as if you are on your way to an important appointment. The 1st problem any fucker will have is how to get you to stop / slow down. If you're moving at a good pace, they often decide it's not worth the trouble. 2) Be aware of your environment but don't look people in the eye for a long time or sightsee. 3) Attempt to give off an air of indifference backed with " I'm important & not to be fucked with". Obviously, don't flash fancy clothes, jewelry etc. And if you do find yourself in a bad situation, give it up and live to monger another day. Everybody has had an embarrassing day or two in this game.

Hi,

I will be going to Rio after 10 years.

Can anyone please give me some information.

Where all the action happens?

And the prices of Monte Carlo and Centaurus.

Thank.

You.

Yes, it has become the norm at RB156.

However, you can tell them I don't have my ID. They will take a picture, which accomplishes the deterrence you suggest.

[QUOTE=HarvestBoi;2559831]I use these rules in any urban environment, stateside or otherwise......[/QUOTE]In Brazil, I also follow a general rule that at night I will Uber and taxi even short distances. Some of my crew start to think they are invincible in Rio and walk back to the apartment or hotel. Me never.

[QUOTE=MiamiBoy1;2559829]Not interested in hardcore pros or brothels / strip clubs, etc because I prefer regular dates that end at my apartment rather than "wham bam thank you ma'am" type of sessions.[/QUOTE]How would you know the difference? Hard core hookers go out on dates with guys. Just ask for that service.

The same way that you tell her you want to fuck her ass, you can tell her that you want to go see a play before going back to your place to fuck her in the ass. Back in the day you would see plenty of hard core hookers out on dates at Marius restaurant.

How can hard core mongers expect a site they use not be full of hard core hookers? You want to pay a chick to fuck, but you don't want it to be a chick that gets paid to fuck? Good luck with that one. You are not fucking and paying someone that has not been fucked and paid by someone else before. Just enjoy your turn without trying to trick yourself to believe she is hallowed or seldom-touched ground.

[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2559814]Wingmen are key.[/QUOTE]
Going out with buddies is always fun, but personally I feel safer when I go alone.

[QUOTE=TShelby;2559790]Rio is just around the corner!

The discos haven't opened yet, have they? Do you know when they might open?

On the other hand, we will go to the Transamerica but we also want to see the best places for our first time in Rio (thermal baths, discos, clubs, etc.)

Maybe:

X days for Transamerica.

1 day for 4 x 4 or Montecarlo?

1 day for Mabs.

1 day for Copa 583.[/QUOTE]First off, 4 x 4 yes. Monte Carlo no. While you're heading down to Centro to check out 4 x4, explore some of the Centro prives mentioned here before 4 x 4 really gets going after 5 pm.

The gents on the Seeking Arrangements thread gave some thoughts on this awhile back. In a country like Brazil where P4 P is open, legal and widely available, it seems SA is not a popular medium for hooking up. Perhaps that will change.

If you want a "date", you might be surprised how a termas girl might react positively to an offer of dinner and a romp. If you are hung-up on this "hardcore" concept, it seems like some guys work various social media real hard for weeks / months before arriving. Of course if a girl agrees to meet with and hints at sexual relations, you never know how many men she is meeting for sex. At least, you are getting the thrill of the chase that you will not have at a brothel or P4 P club. FYI, the ISG guys who play on Brazilian social media generally don't play there at the exclusion of the pro scene.

However hardcore pros in my understanding are those charging by the hour and / or having a price list for extras (BBBJ, etc.). You don't take them out to dinner, why would you? She comes over, you fuck, pay her, she leaves (onto the next guy). This is why I love SA, because I don't discuss extras or set any time limits with SA girls. I just tell them I want to have a good time and I don't like to be in a rush. BBBJ, kissing, etc usually occurs naturally. And chemistry is very important to me, because I want to repeat with the right girl. I consider SA girls low volume hookers, or semi-pros.

Anyways, I was asking board members about their SA experience in Rio, not about the difference between types of hookers.

[QUOTE=MiamiBoy1;2559886]I'm not tricking myself. . I consider SA girls low volume hookers, or semi-pros.[/QUOTE]LOL. And that is what I meant by tricking yourself. There is no website that chicks that are looking to get paid go to because they are low volume. You could not seriously think she got on the site to wait on reais from only 1 or 2 guys. Before or after those 1 or 2, what do you suppose she was doing or is going to do?

Like anything else, you dress for the occasion. When on SA they know to present themselves one way. When working at a termas they know to present themselves one way. When working Tinder they know to present themselves one way. A hooker on any other website does just as much fucking.

Higher risk cities on the list in the order: Feira de Santana, Fortaleza, Mossoro, Vitoria the Conquista, Salvador, Rio Branco, Maceio, Recife, Caruaru, Natal and Teresina. As always better to verify in advance which areas of the city to avoid and when. If the venue is in a problematic area then it's your call.
