[QUOTE=PatmarBeleza1; 1190966]Brazilian Government divides income into 4 groups. A Class, B, C, D.

What is happening at a high end Terma like Luomo is A Class Brazilian Males (Brazilionaires) are buying D-class Brasileira bunda, and their A-Class. 30 or 40 something wife in a rich area like leblon or niteroi knows what is happening. Markets being affected by the marginal buyer, the American is bidding up bunda in top termas against A-class Brasileiros, and now Chinese.

All the GDPs are D-class. If they are not as attractive, they are at an agency like scortshow. That girl makes like 2000R a month. 120R per 2 hour session, and she gets maybe 20 or 25R. Fode, fode, fode.[/QUOTE]This is odd. I think they need a new job. At BA85, VM, and Bar 22 I have witnessed girls taking 50% as their share. At Tijuana Tigresas I examined the fuck log of a girl and she explained to me that she keeps 60. Looks like she fucks between 15 and 20 guys per week.

I like your post. In my experience, the wives do know what is going on. So the whole jealous Brasileira thing that people talk about. Um it doesn't always apply. I know upper class guys who keep mistresses and their bastard kids, and the wives know. They aren't cutting the guys ball off for it.

I think you need to step back a little and evaluate what you really want. Making life changes to spend more time in Brasil? Rating ass based on Class. Sounds like you are setting yourself up for disappointment with such a link. If you can't 100% be certain of scoring free high class ass that satisfies, you might end up spiraling out of control and going broke on the Class D P4P scene. This issue was discussed recently in the Phillipines/ MNL thread. How to live in a land of unlimited paid pussy, without letting it take over your life and ruin you financially.

Again, beautiful post. Few people discuss the cultural aspects. Finding sex in Rio is easy. But GOOD sex is not so easy. When I say GOOD sex, I mean wild BBFS, 'take me picshure', bring-her-cousin too sex like they have in places like Jakarta or PI. That is GOOD sex to me. I feel like to find consistently good sex in Rio, one would have to learn all these cultural things, have fair Porto and hunt regular girls. I speak fair Porto and know plenty about Brasilian girls, but in hobbying places, I get mostly conservative covered sex. Nice Catholic putas. Even the cocaine head Bela at Florida who licks my asshole and barks like a dog while being fucked, will dodge the cumshot. And I have only found 5 girls since 2005 who would BBFS, and only 2 of those in recent years. So I agree with your strategy of moving away from pros. But I would not expect to find Class A/B replacements for all these Class D girls unless you know absolutely everything Brasilian and have something to offer that no Brasileiro does! The Class B non-pro that I'm working into a frenzy claims Brasileiros are jerks who only care about sex, so even some light conversation might be the ticket to the upper class.

now, for a monger that is there for a week or two i can understand them going wild spending a large amount on ass since they won't be back for another year or so but whenever i check on here and read about guys bragging about living in rio and all i read is how they spent 450 reals for a girl and drinks etc. in a termas every other day and how the ones in their didn't look so good all i can think is why you would even have to go in a termas so much if you live there?

i am not even there and i pull chicks from just being on facebook and when i do go there i have 4-6 different facebook chicks seeing me within the 1st few days of me being there i hate to think how many i would see and fuck if i lived there lol i wouldn't even have time to spend to go or money in a terma because i would be fucking dimes for free 24/7 lol something just have to be wrong with a guy having to go to these termas all the time living there either it's his weight or not knowing how to talk to these chicks or something lol lol because getting ass is cool and all but owing a house or houses and owing a car and having a fat 401k and having a fat roth account being about to retired in style is mean something to going to termas paying for ass everyday isn't going to get you that.

i know ex football players that are broke now because they were paying for hookers and strippers when they were playing now they broke. working in clubs as bouncers.

but, to me a terma should be mostly use by a married guy that have a hour or so to get away from his wife to see a hot young terma chick or a tourist that is there for a short time a week or so but a guy living there for months or years? just damnnnn i will be in rio hopefully soon i am willing to bet just give me 3 days of just going to the mall food court and see how many i pull.

[QUOTE=Puta Playa;1190985]At Tijuana Tigresas I examined the fuck log of a girl and she explained to me that she keeps 60. Looks like she fucks between 15 and 20 guys per week.[/QUOTE]Hmm. Sorry, gentes, I timed out and but need to make a correction

I meant Tigresas Tijuacanas, in Tijuca Rio de Janeiro Brasil nears Saens Pena Metro Station. On ISG since the software was updated, 'Tj' turns into Tijuana automatically. Spell checker in the software or something? 'Our Tj' is better than that one!!! Woah, ISG should know better than to think these are the same! Kkkkkkk

The girl keeps 60%! Lucky girls. They fuck nice, I recommend the place. Only place that I can be sure of CIM, fulfill the need to breed, and to have them feed on seed. This is my favorite since Flavia Massagems (RIP) closed. rsrs. But a bit of a long haul trip for anyone who stays in Zona Sul so not recommended for those folks.

The social class structure is broken down into 5 groups, some times only 4, depending on which study you are looking at. There is no one definitive study.

Classe A. Above R$11, 000, 5% of population.

Classe B. Above R$ 6, 000, 20% of population.

Classe C. Above R$ 2, 500, 30% of population.

Classe D. Above R$ 2, 000, 25% of population.

Classe E. Up to R$ 1, 000, 20% of population.

This is from 1 study. The salary is per month for the whole family living under the 1 roof. Lula is credited for moving most families up a notch. I remember when I first arrived in Brasil, a salary above R$5000 per month was rare, now it is common in Zona Sul. Pay is still low by Western standards, but has probably doubled in the last 3 years. Lots of companies that pay between R$1000 & R$2000 can't find enough workers to fill all the jobs. There is also a group called "the laughing A's ", tiny per cent of the population that earns big $.

Absolutely most GDP's are from D & E groups. Any westerner is automatically assumed to be Class A, hence most GDP's will do whatever it takes be jump up into this group. This is why any Western guy that lives in Rio should have no problem having as many GDP's as he can bang come over and bang for free.

[QUOTE=Bravo;1190971]Wait, karla model girls only get 25R from the 120R we pay? That doesn't seem right at all.[/QUOTE]Then why not go over to Balconi every night as a free lance and make 150-200R once or twice an evening?

[QUOTE=PatmarBeleza1;1190966]All the GDPs are D-class. If they are not as attractive, they are at an agency like scortshow.

So basically her 1st 2 fucks were free then she started making money.

In one case, I have her contact. I saw her in Sept and Dec, and she was one of the hottest girls in there. I had her twice in Feb. But then in May, she wasn't there. I tried to call her and text her, but she replied she didn't know me. I eventually linked with her on one of the social networking sites, now she says that she will teach me portoguese when I come to Brazil again, and I will teach her English. No kids, early 20s. Out of 4x4, probably the best bunda, and that's saying something. Is she doing another guy? Sure, but it isn't 20 guys a week. And she probably will do me, maybe a night, maybe 4 nights. But whether or not, I am actually happy for her as a person, because I have seen what comes out of the end of the terma-freelancer pipeline, and it is not really a positive image.

Anyway, your other comments about keeping expectations low are spot on. More than likely a man won't find one woman for all needs. The Class A Brasileiro has buckets for wife / mother, mistress / dancaria.

Back in 09, I was on the end of a Rio trip early in the year, and I did brazilcupid to see if I could have some other, normal relationships. Ended up connecting with a doctor in residency in another Brazilian city. Went there for 2 weeks later in the year, could have had that, but honestly, the sex wasn't at the same level as the top Rio GDP. So, back to Rio.

The entire class structure. ABCD. Is moving up the stack. On the Class D end, what I see is just reaching for cash. There are stupid Americano taxa on everything, so that has driven me to the frugal, lean and mean, do like a brasileiro approach of scanning their websites (gpguia. Net and hotforum).

I think that the question I am asking myself is: Where does the Class C Brazilian man go to get the very best, to 5, bunda? I think it has to be a lot of the smaller termas out of Centro and Copa, the smaller agencies also out of town, and the freelancers out of centro.

Liked reading a lesson on GDP lifecyle. Here is my 2 cents on dating non pros in Brazil. Last week, I visited a Bar full of non pros near Copacabana palace. I had two Brahma choppe's and chatted with two different chiks.

About academic system in Brazilian universities. Non pro scene in Brazil is not impossible and might work for someone who has a lot of time on his hands with serious dedication. In 08, I befriended a local Brazilian who took me to various night clubs all over the city. He got me hooked up with a 20 why / old girl from Zona Sul supermercado too. I dated about three Brasileiras but non pro scene was very time consuming and costly for me. For example, the taxi ride back to my place in Copa was R$80 alone. I had to pay for her and her friend during my next clubbing night with her. Apart from that, other chiks wanted to meet me during weekdays when I am busy with mongering activities. If you can pull a show of banging non pro Brasileira and puta on the same day, more power to you.

The $2500 that my friend sent me got burned in only 9 days. Western Union exchange rate was 1. 58. I did spent my money wisely, such as, a combination or centro apts with 3 Terma runs per week. I use my local escort agency in the US 3x a week for one hour option and still 2 grand last for a month. I am planning to monger in Kiev Ukraine and German FKK clubs next summer and my budget might last longer. I asked my friend to borrow from another friend to send me $2000 more. Even my friend was shocked with the way money got burned so quickly.

Once again, Western Union gave me the [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor 1. 58 exchange rate. By the time I was done with Western Union, it was 1. 30AM. Went to Bel prazer, but my fav loira Mireala was ocupada with her last client since they close at 3PM. Took a quick cab ride to Ju Panteras in flamengo but it was agency's closing time and the girls were gone except Poliana, and Yasmin who were busy. Called Star Cris but they only available girl Luana had bad reviews on GPGuia. Net. I got no choice but to do Balcony tonight. Its 11. 30PM so I am to take a quick shower and head to the biggest zoo (Balcony) in Copa on Sat night. It's my last Sat night for this trip so WTF.

Mudbug on Rodolfo Dantas? A name would be good. Did the girls speak English or is your portuguese good enough even over loud music? Thanks.

PS A new champagne / cocktail bar, very high-end, opened next to Churrascaria Palace on Rodolfo Dantas last month. Mixed drinks and champagne drinks are R$25 and there is an equivalent entrada. Sign of the rising salaries and inflation even in Copa.

well, i can only speak for me. so i'll try to explain and answer your points, and at least you'll have cartman's perspective. i will say that i don't think it is "bragging about living in rio." i try to write accurate reports, since i'm on the ground here, and i report prices. when i go to tijuca, i report prices there. when i do something crazy (for me) like a dupla at mc, i laughingly (at myself) report the price. it's information, not bragging. i basically order agua com gas so it's definitely not a drinks thing.

first off, though, let me say i would definitely like some concrete guidance on how to have 14 girls on speed dial ready to come bang me for free at my apartment in exchange for pizza and a movie. that is not something i have run into down here among any people i know. some have maybe 1-2 girls who bang for free, but certainly not 14. please share what guidance you can, as that would be a good end goal for me. now back to my long-ass response ;-)

i opened a business here along with an american and a braisilan and some other partners. we have, now, nearly 20 employees. and we are a start-up. typically these days i work from 8.30am until 8:30pm or recently even 9. 30pm each day during the week. sometimes i can sneak out "early" at 7. 30pm or 8pm. and even then i am dead tired. part of it is the exhaustion of dealing with stupid brazilian bureacracy, and / or stupid brazilian service. every day. on friday i spent 3 hours dealing with the fact that our ex-accountants assigned the same pis number (kind of a tax # like cpf) to one of our employees that actually already was held by some other chick at some other company in rio. and for the last 9 months, she's been getting levied his taxes (he makes probably 3x her salary). and now our new accountants want us to pay her r$500 in exchange for her signing a release that she won't sue us. which will be easier than trying to file the paperwork to explain the mistake to the tax authority. you can't make this up. the stuff is just unbelievable and makes you exhausted. let me tell you how many documents are needed to register with the city of sao paulo to convince them you are an actual business located in rio and not just some shell company trying to dodge the 5% tax they levy on companies outside sp: 6 months of phone bills. 6 months of electric bills, photos showing the outside of your office building and the interior (with clearly marked numbers) , certified copies (cartorio) of your legal rep's rg (i. d.) and cpf, your estatuto social (kind of bylaws) , an online application that requires you to hand-enter all the information in these documents, and probably 6 other things. i mean, i take 30 minutes for lunch, but when i get home at 10pm or whatever, i need 3+ hours to chillax so i'm going to bed at 1am and getting up before 8 = not sleeping enough and being tired. and i'm an intj so when i do leave the office, i want to go home and recharge with music, a drink, some internet time, and not have to deal with trying to cram a club or bar in where i'm "on" trying to chat up brazilian chicks.

consequently, i don't really have time to meet "normal" chicks and honestly wouldn't know where to meet them. we have 4 girls in our office, and not a single one of them has ever asked to intro me to her friends. i don't really hang out or socialize with them. i'm the "boss." most of our employees make between r5k-7. 5k, some are on the lower side 3k. they are smart, class b or lower-class a type folks. college, decent families.

i don't go to clubs. never been my scene. and while there are some ok bars in copa / ipanema / botafogo, often i prefer to hang out on my roof deck with a better beer (for 50% of the cost) and relax at home. i went to lapa once and was so annoyed by the scene i haven't been back.

basically, when i have time after work, the only reasonable thing open where i can be assured of reasonably quality are the t's. theoretically i could book with scortshow or something, i guess. but the quality there is hit-and-miss. and it's a lot easier to roll out of the office at 8pm and walk 2 minutes to monte carlo, or, wow if i can leave at 7pm, walk 10 mins to the metro and head to centro to see t65 or 502. and then finish up and be back home by 11pm or so, to chillax and get up for the next day. i never really have time during the day to take an hour or more off and head to centro privates or tijuca.

i did try to break out of this cycle by emailing a bunch of girls on brazilcupid but it took a lot of time, and responses were super weak. parparfeito looked pretty standard like match. com and i know that drill. a lot of effort emailing for few concrete dates. what free time i have, currently i'm chosing not to spend it that way.

so the t's are my quick, easy option to get my rocks off a few times per week. i have had a few girls. met from t's and privates. who would come to my apartment for low fees (privates r$100, t's r$200) or for no fee. in fact, i have 1-2 right now who want to come to my apartment and hang out more with me. but i'm just not that into them. and some of the others have moved on, for example one recently went back to italy to work. so my other reason for going to t's is to scout for new girls to add to this list of girls who come to my place. but i'd be lying if i said i didn't like the variety i can find at the t's, and the ability to chillax a bit in the boate and watch the chicks dance.

[quote]i am not even there and i pull chicks from just being on facebook and when i do go there i have 4-6 different facebook chicks seeing me within the 1st few days of me being there i hate to think how many i would see and fuck if i lived there lol i wouldn't even have time to spend to go or money in a terma because i would be fucking dimes for free 24/7 lol something just have to be wrong with a guy having to go to these termas all the time living there either it's his weight or not knowing how to talk to these chicks or something lol lol because getting ass is cool and all but owing a house or houses and owing a car and having a fat 401k and having a fat roth account being about to retired in style is mean something to going to termas paying for ass everyday isn't going to get you that.[/quote]how are you meeting the girls from facebook? were you introduced by someone? i'd love to hear more about how you are working fb, what you tell the girls to get them to meet you, etc. it sounds like good info that would be practical to learn. my fear with fb is that i tend to be private, and i haven't wanted to be fb friends with girls here. i pissed off one ex-gdp by not accepting her fb invite. i haven't wanted to mix my social brazil life with my serious circle of us-based fb friends.

i'm not heinously fat or anything. i'm an average, normal guy. and i'm relatively ok-looking, and not that old (41, but look proabably early 30s). and my porto is relatively ok, especially after 9 months here and continuous lessons 3x per week. i don't think it's about not knowing how to talk to girls in as much as not having any girls to talk to. for the record, i do have a reasonable 401k and stock accounts and other things. sure, would it be higher if i didn't spend r$800 per week (made up average number) on brazilian bunda. but i choose to spend some % of my income here on safe, clean, fun t's a few times each week because it ensures variety, gets the job done, and fits my schedule. other people would spend the same r$ going to clubs or restaurants or whatever. i know plenty of people here who drop r$1000 easily on bottle service / entrance fees at clubs each week, or whose dates with 3 "normal" girls would add up to as much.

[quote]but, to me a terma should be mostly use by a married guy that have a hour or so to get away from his wife to see a hot young terma chick or a tourist that is there for a short time a week or so but a guy living there for months or years? just damnnnn i will be in rio hopefully soon i am willing to bet just give me 3 days of just going to the mall food court and see how many i pull.

kid cisco[/quote]well, i don't have time to go to the mall food court. i eat at pretty much the same decent kilo, across the street from our office, every day for 20-30 minutes. most of my employees do too. it's not the kind of place to randomly chat up strangers. to be fair, i'm not sure i'd randomly chat up strangers at a mall food court. so props to you there.

if i had the time and inclination to pursue other avenues of meeting girls here. like really giving parperfeito the effort i used to give match. com in la, for example. you'd probably be right that i would stop going to t's. so perhaps i'm just lazy. i know i can leave the office at 8. 30pm, and have my dick sucked at 9pm, and be home by 10. it's perhaps too easy. hell maybe work is my "wife" per your analogy and thus it all makes sense.

the one criticism i will accept is (as bubba and others have said) i should have more hotties who want to bang me for free. part of the problem is that i'm really choosy. i will turn down girls that, at first, you'd think are solid 7s. 8s, even body-9s. the other reason is that i do still like variety. banging the same girl each week. 1x or more, can start to get old fast. i just haven't found the right girl yet who i think is physically attractive enough, and with whom i have some sort of at least minor emotional connection. heck the girl i took to curitiba last weekend, she can't handle even moderately spicy indian food. that was enough to put a strike against her on my list. hell she'd never had indian food before we went out in curitiba. and she ordered choppe at a vodka bar. wtf?

anyway, i hope that provides at least the cartman's perpective on why someone living here might still go to t's etc. i'd certainly love to hear more concrete advice on how exactly you are working the fb angle, and any other ways you think i could / should / would break out of the schedule i'm in. never to old to learn! i just ask in return that you not be a hater.

ps. i did go to mc last night and tonight. jasmine is back (see my previous posts). she is on my top 2 list of deepthroat queens of rio, she really loves to suck cock. i greatly enjoy dropping meus filhos right into her mouth as she looks up at me and i can watch her ass in the mirror. and then, tonight, she gave me a 15 minute massage at the end (after 2 rounds). though she was pouty that i hadn't fucked her ass. was it worth r$360 or r$400? probably not if i could find someone that good at some other establishment that i could go to that fit my schedule. but it certainly was enjoyable for me. even after 9 months here. (*note admittedly i didn't go to tijuca during the day today. saturday mornings can be slow for me, after a week of ass-kicking).

[QUOTE=Bubba Boy;1191037]Absolutely most GDP's are from D & E groups. Any westerner is automatically assumed to be Class A, hence most GDP's will do whatever it takes be jump up into this group. This is why any Western guy that lives in Rio should have no problem having as many GDP's as he can bang come over and bang for free.[/QUOTE]It's not totally for free, though, right. I mean, after a while you get the "can you help me with my faculdade R$400 bill this month" or "can you help me with this bill for my dad's doctor" or "can you buy this digital camera for my mom"? Right? That's been my experience. Plus you have to "date" them with dinners, movies, etc.

I also don't think. See my post below. That it is quite that easy to have "as many GDP's as he can bang" come over. I know my hit rate is lower than yours, but I'm maybe averaging 1 out of every 4 or 5 (1 will want to come over).

[QUOTE=Eric Cartman; 1191171]Well, I can only speak for me.

-Cartman[/QUOTE]Often this forum is filled with more fiction than fact. Cartman, thanks for keeping it real.

There are three types of guys who do well with non-pros (and pros) in Rio:

- Fair skinned, blonds with blue eyes. It is not by chance that Centaurus and Solarium (termas catering to high income Brazilians) have many blonds and few blacks and mulatas.

- Classy, well-built, non-ghetto, no rapper attitude black guys. I know a couple who have to beat them off (super hot) with a stick.

- Guys with movie star good looks. I went with a handsome friend from Switzerland (dark hair, no Portuguese) to Centaurus and several girls gave him their numbers so they could meet outside the club. They didn't want money. They just wanted to have sex with him.

For some reason Gringos think that all they have to do is show up in Rio and the girls will be all over them. If you are not successful with women in your native country, you won't succeed in Brazil either. Especially if you lack a sense of humor. Brazilians love to laugh and joke around. If you can make them laugh in Portuguese, you are in. If you can dance, go to the front of the line.

BTW, one of the best places to meet non-pros is at the pharmacy. Often you can get her alone for a one-on-one chat and if you are cool with her co-workers they will give you the scoop on her.

Kid Cisco: Just curious what year your facts are based on because the game has been on a steady decline for the past 2 years. The termas pricing in the current economic climate is over $200US just to have one session. With Help out of the picture, there are very little options in the evening these days (ie. After 9pm) I was never a huge fan of Meia Petaca, Balcony nor Mab's.

Over the years (have been visiting since 2005) , I had not had too much luck getting a terma girl to come over after work or on their day off. I remember once I made a deal with one just to have her blow me off when she got offered more money. I am not a night owl but I did pick up a girl exiting HELP which ended up being one of the best sessions ever. She was just totally in sync with my needs.

I had a drink with Cartman on Friday night and I can agree with his perspective. Working & Living in Janeiro is not what it's cracked up to be if you have to pull a 50-60 hour work week. GDPs generally need to spend some time with their families on the weekends when they are not working so it is hard to line up something on Saturdays and Sundays.

This is my 7th day in Rio and I have not gone to one terma. I am sure I will but right now I am fine sticking to my low budget mindset. Exchange rate from cash is 1. 60R to the dollar.

Here's my budget spending on programs so far. Keeping the daily budget close to $100 a day meant I had to had sessions during different times of the day.

Day 1:150R / 1. 5hr. Around 5pm. Cute blonde introduced to me last year by a friend who lives in Rio.

Day 2:1. 5hr. Around 6pm. Cute 19yo with firm natural D cups in exchange for NewBalance sneakers & a Oakley backpack (my cost in the US, $95 or 152R)

Day 3:60R / 40mins. Around 4pm. Mix Massagem (Tijuca). Michelly

Day 4:2. 0hr mini festa with 3 Scortshow girls. Around 5pm. (reported in the Escorts thread) Dianna (allowed CIM) and 2 new girls not on the website. Sybele & Amanda. I paid 230R my share of the 400R total (360R for 3 girls + 40R taxi)

Day 5:1. 5hr. Around 5pm. Girl I met on the previous trip came over (150R, allowed CIM)

Day 6:2. 0hr festa with 2 girls from Felinas. Around 5pm. I paid 170R my share of the 290R total (240R for 2 girls + 50R taxi)

So far 6 day total = 912R or $570 for 1 'through-the-roof' festa. 2nd festa was a dud. 2 excellent. 1 good session with freelancers and 1 good session at a massagem.

I need to hit the massagem on Rio Branco, check out for the first time JuPanteras in Lagoa do Machado and call a couple more agencies. Ultimately when another buddy arrives later this week, go check out 502 and T65. Maybe once Monte Carlo fixes their website so I can enter my email, then I can print out some coupons for that place.
