General Info

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2846928]Sperto, this might work for a seasoned Porto-speaking traveler. Wouldn't work for most of us. And not everywhere. Plus people rarely start looking for accommodations after rolling into town. I've done that, especially in small towns, but that's not a common trend.

Here are more examples.

1 and 2. Hilton Leme security have eagle eyes. There are two entrances to the elevators. They've caught me twice right at the elevators even when it was super busy and I used the entrance further away.

3. Wouldn't work in bigger hotels. They'll very politely ask her to stay in the lobby while your run your errand.

4 and 5: I suspect that most receptionists aren't blind and most mongers don't like any kind of uncertainty. What if I don't succeed in sneaking a girl in? Do I need a plan be? But if I always must have a plan be, it's easier to just proceed to plan be and avoid the aggravation.

That being said, my favorite hotels in Rio: Hilton Copa and Grand Hyatt do allow guests after filling out a long form, so there is that. Hyatt is asking them not use common areas, Hilton does not. And, by the way, there are plenty of vacation rentals, both in Rio and Salvador (and I suspect elsewhere) that won't allow guests. It's not uncommon.[/QUOTE]Have you or anyone else stayed at the grand hyatt in barra that's right on the beach?

I'm flying in early from SP to Rio in OCT and going to book one night there so I can just drop the bags off and start enjoying rio. Booking an airbnb for the rest of the trip.

Does anyone know if it's GF friendly or not? Grand hyatt is usually pretty flexible but I will be staying with a buddy and I have it booked for two people. Sometimes they just charge 150 BRL to let them stay at least in SP but idk in barra. If anything I can get a love motel room for 150 BRL in rio but if I can have a girl over for an hour or two that would be ideal as it's in a suite.

[QUOTE=StanBob;2847197]First stop Rio, should I go north or south for non-pros which cities? SP skip?[/QUOTE]Depends on what you like.

If you like the white brazilian girls with european features than Rio grande do sul or santa catarina is your best bet.

If you like the darker brazilian girls with african features than Bahia is your place.

I like the whiter girls so I like going to SP but go to Rio for the more relaxed environment.

My friend on the other hand likes the darker girls so he loves rio but he will go to SP just purely on the more upscale airbnbs and the more amount of girls that SP has to offer than RJ.

[QUOTE=TheCane;2849707]What do you guys think is the appropriate age to retire from the hobby? I know some on this site have fessed up to being in their 70's. When is the right time to hang it all up so to speak? Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]I'm in my late 20's.

Been doing this for 6 years or so.

Berlin, Montreal, Barcelona, Brazil.

It's not easy for young guys in the USA to get the kind of girls like the ones in Brazil without some extra cash and in the end it's not worth it most of the time.

Single guy that just wants to have some fun every now and then.

Personally for me I would stop somewhere around my 30's.

20's you can fuck around with and some of your 30's but definitely for me I would like a partner for that support and hopefully that second income stream as millennials are getting fucked by the feds, inflations, a crazy housing market, etc. Its rough doing it all on your own for this generation.

That being said I definitely would like a foreign wife, brazilin obviously or maybe some eastern european that appreciates the little things (excluding my dick).

I wouldn't count out american girls as I've met some really great girls here but they were taken as they should be since they are a catch. It's tough but doable. I just like the different cultures so I would lean more to having a brazilian wife.

I've met tons of other guys from the forum in my trips to Brazil and almost all were over 40 so realistically my personal number is really low but that's just for me.

I just want the "leave it to beaver" scenario.

I'd like to travel to other places like Italy or Japan or the Bahamas with a girl that truly respects me and not some clam that is texting other guys on our trip, planning to meet and fuck once she lands back in town. I understand the game, it's all good but I deserve more than that. Been there, done that, and will do it again this coming trip in OCT but like I said the veneer strips away once the party is over.

Alot of people also tend to forget that we live a pretty long life. I still have 50+ years ahead of me most likely and after all those years things do start to get stale. Even rich people have a hard time trying to stay happy because after the 10th trip to the Maldives it starts to get a bit old. When you have a partner or even a kid you can re-experience that feeling of an old place as new through their eyes. I know what ice cream tastes like but my son doesn't and once he does and his eyes light up at this new joy in life it's fun to see that discovery of life again. That's why I and many others on the board like taking a girl who has never been out of her own city in SP or wherever and taking her to Rio for the first time and seeing them bug out over this city they only seen in movies. Its fun because your kinda reliving that moment when you first landed yourself.

I personally also wouldn't want to put the pussy on the pedestal.

Every knowledge guy knows that you shouldn't be chasing the pussy forever. At a certain point it needs to be chasing you. And there is a time to stop hunting because eventually you become the prey. The amount of damage a girl, especially the ones who partake in the walking of the night, is really unmeasurable. The fall of troy comes to mind.

Luckily for most of us, nothing bad has happened other than a few glances from hotel workers but you can only push your luck so far and things like diseases, extortion, theft and other comes to mind.

I'm a very practical person with realistic goals and ideas in mind so that's just my two cents and of course life works in mysterious ways and I can be singing a different tune as I still have many more years left to pay the IRS so who knows.

Settling down, having kids and all that isn't easy, I know but I believe it's worth it for me. Anything worth it's weight in life isn't going to be easy. You don't become the greatest NFL player or NBA player by just doing nothing and not sacrificing anything. It also isn't guarantee but if you don't at least try than it definitely is guarantee you won't.

Saw a video the other day of a divorce lawyer talking about some cases and human nature and it's pretty interesting to watch.

Whatever that means to you.[/QUOTE]Good luck stopping mongering later in life. 6 years is a long time already, so you're now a lifer. It's like the 19 year old I met at Helpe that told me she wasn't going to be a hooker for a long time. She needed to buy some things. When I met her she was a 10 body 8 face. Cost me 200 reals each year I would see her, until she gained a ton of weight and I was done. She never quit like she thought. Haven't seen her since 2006, but I imagine she is still a hooker but now pushing 40. She got addicted to the easy money, and you will get addicted to the easy sex.

[/QUOTE]Leave it to Beaver was not real! Seems you are looking to create nostalgia for yourself. First thing to know is that your dream is not necessarily that of others. You can have all the good intentions in the world, but your situation can turn out shitty. You never know unless you try, but is trying worth the risk?

You want all this shit until somebody decides to leave you and take half. You can not control their mind. You are going back and forth with mongering getting stale, then you admit that even rich people are not satisfied with going back and forth to the Maldives. Then you say when you have a partner. Well you do not think the rich people are going back and forth to the Maldives with a partner? I have been there and it is no place to go alone. Imagine how stale it would get coming home to the same person everyday and having to hear them bich about something. Imagine if your kid turns out to be the same as Joe Biden's kid? You can raise a kid up the way you think they should go, but they still will have their own mind and desires and your nostalgia will not play a part in it.

Then shit I never thought about until taking Biology in college. What if your kid is born with a birth defect such as Down Syndrome or Spina Bifida? You do not get to choose how the baby comes out. You also do not get to choose how your mate changes. Something clicked in my daughter's mom as soon as the baby came out. I do not know if she got bipolar all of a sudden or what.

Long story short my daughter's mom estranged herself from her family. Has not seen them in about 20 years. She never made my daughter go to school so she ended up dropping out at 16. You do not think my nostalgia was to have my daughter at least graduate high school? My daughter is now almost 27 and my grandkids are 5, but following in her mother's footsteps my daughter has estranged herself from my family. I see how her mother acted when she was growing up and not being fair to her and how she is now acting as not being fair to my grandkids. You are not hurting the people you are setting out to hurt. Hell I am free to do what I want and could have always made another kid if I wished. But did I want it to turn out shitty again? That was not a risk I was willing to take. Not after having to pay all that child support to people that did not even care about their future. I had my go at it and it turned out shitty. That is fucking life. Like I said, you never know if you do not try, but at this point I am glad that shit is over and every dime that I make is now for me alone. I do not owe a mf shit. House paid off, kid grown. I can do what the fuck I want to do when the fuck I want to do it.

The liking different cultures thing is overrated. Do you speak Portuguese? Do you speak the other Eastern European languages? Well I speak 5 languages with a Masters in International Business, so if I do not know anything then I KNOW different cultures. Most people from any culture spend their time working to keep a roof over their family's heads and food on the table. It does not matter shit if a white rose means death or if you think it is lucky to break a glass when you get married. It is the day to day rubber meets the road shit that you need to think about, not their name for Santa Claus.

If you are looking for someone that appreciates little things then good luck with that. My buddy had two kids with a Brazilian chick and later married her and brought her to the States. She cheated on his ass the first chance she had. Some guy put on her facebook thanks for last night. When he got home he asked her if it was true and she admitted it. Now his ass is stuck supporting her in the States (expensive ass northeast at that) instead of the $200/ month he could have been sending to Brazil for those kids.

My main girlfriend is Brazilian. We take nice trips together. Last February we were in Tahiti and she got drunk as a skunk at a restaurant and she said something that I got on video but did not let her see. She was complaining that I only wanted her to travel with. Well first of all why would I need to spend extra money so you could go somewhere? I could go alone or with someone else. Even if that was the case, why the fuck would you complain about seeing and doing shit in life that you never even imagined? Being a man, I would just ride the shit out hoping it did not end. But not women. If you are waiting for them to appreciate little things then you will be waiting a mighty long time.

[QUOTE=FiddyCent;2849762]TC, I remember a cartoon from either Penthouse or Hustler magazine. It depicts an old guy with a prostitute. She explained to the coroner that he came, and then he went. That's how we should all go out!

Last February we were in Tahiti and she got drunk as a skunk at a restaurant and she said something that I got on video but did not let her see. She was complaining that I only wanted her to travel with. Well first of all why would I need to spend extra money so you could go somewhere? I could go alone or with someone else. Even if that was the case, why the fuck would you complain about seeing and doing shit in life that you never even imagined? Being a man, I would just ride the shit out hoping it did not end. But not women. If you are waiting for them to appreciate little things then you will be waiting a mighty long time.[/QUOTE]I would like to start with saying I made it clear that the Original Question that was posed was "What do you guys think is the appropriate age to retire from the hobby?" and my response was for me personally it is in my 30's but I also said it's not realistic for most guys here on the site who I would say the average age is 45+.

That being said I don't disagree with your thoughts and life experiences.

In fact I take most of my life experience from the other side. Von Bismarck famously said 'Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others. '.

I highly advise anyone to view the video I posted along my original post where a divorce lawyer talks about his thoughts on marriage and his many clients and their failed marriages.

He has alot of good insights from seeing what doesn't work.

"I don't think I can learn eveything I need to know about myself from myself. ".

'Being married is great sometimes. But the hard part is being married ALL the time. '.

"I don't envy people being married for a long time because that's not the goal. The goal is to be HAPPILY married. ".

"Marriage is an inherently negligent activity. It's like owning a lion. ".

But one of the most important thing he said was "If you can't talk about hard things you have no business getting married".

I intend on getting a prenup before getting married. I could meet a girl who meets all the checkmarks that I want but if she gets offended, angry or avoids serious discussion that's not a serious person who I want to get into a lifelong commitment with. I know that can be contested in court and the like with lawyers but the more prep work you do to ensure you don't get fucked over, the more you're ready when the shit hits the fan. Even the divorce lawyer says that you need to learn everything you can about the laws of marriage where you live because marriage is the only contract most people go into without doing any research. Money to me is definitely the killer of all marriages and mental stability. I've never been in debt, have my own business, good credit scores, racked up every single credit card benefits / points and NEVER gave a dime back in interest or late fees to those greedy cock suckers and I have 11 credit cards. I need that in my partner as well.

My goal, which every person should have, is to find a partner who is my best friend. I have a best friend who I met 2 decades ago and I would do anything for him. He's my brother and he's always got my back and so I always got him. I would never fuck him but there is a bond between us that surpasses some peoples relationship / marriage because there is a level of trust, respect and happiness for one and another that we have that is mutual and celebrated. I would garner that alot of guy's here have that same friendship and even hobby with those friends on some epic travels.

I want that in my partner where it goes beyond sex and is just like a good healthy bestfriend situation. Where I want to ***** and talk shit with her like I would with my best friend. I would like the sex to be good too but I know that pussy aint going to be hot when we're 60 or whatever so there's a need for relationship that's beyond sex and again is more like a best friend.

With that being said I know things don't always go the way you want it to. As you alluded, she could change over time or our kids turn out to be brats or she becomes a he or she kills me in my sleep and then registers me as a democrat (LOL).

There is a lot of "what if's" but I can't let fear dictate my life. There is no reward if you don't risk anything. You can't make a million dollars if you aren't ready to risk 100,000. Michael Jordan had 2 3 peats but he also didn't get to the finals when he returned and played for the wizards. You're not going to win all the time and at everything. Your going to lose sometimes. Everything in life is a gamble. I remember when I first went to Brazil, everyone told me I was crazy and I would get robbed and get covid and whatever and I had the best time of my life and even made a good amount of great friends.

It's a long response but I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not saying everyone should do what I want to do. That I know the pitfalls as well and weighted all the options and did the math.

The way the world is going, we need more family units. We need more male / father role models. We don't need more single mothers and kids growing up with fucked up morals and no guidance that leads to the destruction of a good society. It's clear when seeing the data whether you are in Brazil or the USA. Having that strong support is crucial. The kid still could grow up fucked up like hunter biden, true, but then again it does not hurt to try. I don't want to sit back and complain about a problem without trying to do something about it. That leads nowhere. And I've always wanted to be a father so that's just me.

QUCK RESPONSES.

As for a kid with birth defects, I would abort. And that's why I would need a partner that can talk about hard issues like that and understand what that means. Of course, some defects can come afterwards but everything is a risk.

I'm Hispanics. I speak 3 languages and yes I do speak Portuguese. Brazilians are not hispanics but they are latinos. I am also latino by definition. They are just different enough where its fun to see the differences between the cultures. Like an american guy marrying a british bird (bird is slang for young woman) eastern europeans are interesting and it's a little known fact but alot of eastern european women speak some spanish as they are very interested in spanish culture and watch the famous telenovelas (spanish soap operas) and I met many of them in my travels but again it's just a fun idea. I would not really consider an asian woman as we are just culturally too different but who knows.

American girls are also not all bad. There are many great women in this country too. There are tons of girls who live in big cities or Idaho / West Virginia Appalachian that appreciate a good man and a normal lifestyle and the value of the dollar. I work in the wedding industry so I've been to more weddings than most people and lots of the couples I keep in touch and still going strong.

Is it easy. No. Is it hard. Yes. Is it impossible. No.

Not every girl is a clueless, emotionally unstable, gold digging, heartless working girl and not every guy is a sleazy, creepy, toxic, wife beater, playboy. There is more than the madonna / working girl complex. We're complicated animals.

Marcus aurelias is one of my stoic role models but he raised a piece of shit son.

The first thing you should learn in this life is that it's not fair, life's a ***** and then you die.

[QUOTE=Bearsi;2850274]But one of the most important thing he said was "If you can't talk about hard things you have no business getting married".[/QUOTE]That is why when I am talking to a new chick and she does not want to talk about her last relationship then I just move on. Big problem with women is they do not want to discuss something that went wrong before in hopes of preventing the same mistakes. Their idea is to forget everything and start over eventually repeating the same shit. Bich you have one life that is continuous. You don't get to start over with a fresh one and act like something before did not happen. Delusional.

[QUOTE=TjBrazil;2850038]Good luck stopping mongering later in life. 6 years is a long time already, so you're now a lifer. It's like the 19 year old I met at Helpe that told me she wasn't going to be a hooker for a long time. She needed to buy some things. When I met her she was a 10 body 8 face. Cost me 200 reals each year I would see her, until she gained a ton of weight and I was done. She never quit like she thought. Haven't seen her since 2006, but I imagine she is still a hooker but now pushing 40. She got addicted to the easy money, and you will get addicted to the easy sex.[/QUOTE]I will admit it is nice to have some easy sex every now and then but it isn't the only pleasure in life I get. I have really no vices than drinking a cold Mexican bottle of coke with real sugar cane and a nice 8-10 hours of sleep when I can get it. I don't smoke, drink or gamble and I've tried it and it does nothing for me.

I have a good job that I do interesting projects and interests that keep me stimulated.

I'm going to SP and RJ in OCT and I'm not as hyped as I used to be. I'm sure I will have a nice time as I have some girls lined up but I'm not counting the days because I have other things going on in my life that have me excited as well.

I have that Robert de Niro HEAT mentality "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. ".

Patrice o Neal sums up in this clip why it's so hard to quit mongering when you're older:
