In Brazil

[Jaxx_]

I heard Rio is incredibly dirty and trashy. Never been there but hope best of luck.

in the real world, yes. to americans and people with money, no.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I am staying at a hostel a few blocks from Copacabana beach. This part of town is definitely not trashy but the North Zone is a different story. The taxi ride into town was definitely an eye opener, Favela as far as the eye can see.

This morning I woke up and walked down the street and had a cheap but good coffee, then sat on the beach for a bit with a fresh coconut. Tonight I am going to have dinner with a Brazilian friend I made on Saturday and tomorrow I will hike to the Christ statue with a group from couchsurfing.org. Also I am picking up a bit of Portuguese. Yeah, so far so good in Rio.

Tchau :)

This sounds like the great fun.

I am having a blast. Beach, sun, Caiparinha, fresh coconut water, women, food, etc. I can't complain. I am looking forward to New Years when 2-3 million people pack the beach here at Copacabana. It should be epic. Oh and the Brazilian women love Gringo's, even dorks like me. :p

I'll post some pictures soon.

Introduction To Brazilian Girls
By Roosh
The way some guys talked up Rio it seemed like I&rsquo;d be getting head within 30 minutes of stepping off the bus. It&rsquo;s ridiculous that I have to state this, because there was a second or two where I was hoping it was true, but not all Brazilian girls are easy and ready to fuck you within a few minutes.
On one side you have the poor favela chicks. As a carioca (Rio native) put it: &ldquo;For them it is a dream to go out with a gringo to a dinner that costs more than they make in a month. The sex is not important&mdash;they&rsquo;ve been doing that since they were 14.&rdquo; Poor favela chicks are very easy, but quality is a serious problem. It&rsquo;s not uncommon to see a decent looking gringo getting with a girl he should not be touching. It would be a shame if you came to Rio to bang favela chicks.
On the other side is the rich and very beautiful girls that are out of reach to the gringo due to time or social status / circle issues.
Then you have the large middle where the girls are educated and have regular jobs. Some are very pretty with fantastical asses and some are frumpy and average. Some are easy but others are surprisingly conservative. But in general the girls are prettier and easier than American girls&mdash;at least 50% easier. They are more friendly, they makeout super quick, and give less resistance to the bedroom. While there is zero guarantee you will get action when you go out, you&rsquo;re a huge idiot if you go out at night without cheap motel money and a condom or three.
Two things are important:
1. You must know where to go. If you go to the rich and snobby clubs then it may actually be harder. Go to the smaller venues not known for posing. Because it takes time to find good places, a gringo visiting for a short stay may miss out on the &ldquo;friendlier&rdquo; girls.
2. Game plays big. Lots of girls speak English so if you have decent game you will see a gigantic jump in the quality you get compared to the gringos who simply have drunk game. I shouldn&rsquo;t have to say it but approaching is still the number one thing you do to help yourself out here. Just like anywhere else, the girls who approach you outright will be ones you don&rsquo;t want.
Now it&rsquo;s my turn to add to the hype. Until Brazil I&rsquo;ve never in my life had a very pretty girl ask me to spend the night with her a couple hours after meeting. If you are American then you are trained to think that only desperate chicks would do such a thing, but it&rsquo;s quite common for Brazilian girls to show affection very fast and do much (or all) of the work to take things to the bedroom. Desperate or not, it&rsquo;s very welcomed. I&rsquo;m not saying you don&rsquo;t have to stay on point to make things happen, but you can relax a little. Again, you will have to work just like you would at home, and you will be rejected and flaked on like you would at home, but you are rewarded faster, more often, and with better quality.
This leads to the number one rule of Rio:
Do not date the first girl you have sex with, even if she is just as good or better then what you get at home.
Keep her on the side and go out even more. You&rsquo;ll understand what I mean when you get down here.
I love Rio, and it will be the my longest stay out of all the cities I&rsquo;ve visited, but I wish I came before South America beat the shit out of me. It takes a lot of energy to enjoy everything it has to offer. And if you come here with a competent wingman, you can do tremendous damage in a short amount of time.

In my experience so far, this is true. Women aren't throwing themselves at me, but they definitely show more interest and are a tad bit on the easier side than they are back home. I think it's a cultural thing really. It's very common for people to be very touchy feeley in everyday conversation. It's also common to be on the subway and have couples sitting on both sides of you making out. It's just a more physical and sexual culture down here. The negative side of this is that probably half the women that I have talked to are single mothers. Also, a woman who is too easy is surprisingly not as attractive as it may sound.

Oh and I haven't been to a single club they are just too damn expensive. Couchsurfing.org has tons of beach parties and planned hikes and events and stuff. I have just been buying some cheap beer at the store and heading out to the events and meeting people. Dance clubs aren't my thing but I will drink beer on the beach any day. :)
