****Brasilian Nationalism/Racism

Brasilians think they are THE BEST at everything, bar none. However in general they are mediocre in most respects.(hey they can't even win at football). There is a degree of anti US sentiment, including flyposters with ' USA ' with a red cross through it. If you walk with a girl in Rio, occasional passers by will say abusive things to her...basically infering that she is a puta. For this reason, many girls won't be seen with a gringo. To protect their women from these foreign invaders the Brasilian man will tell their women that only 'prostitutes' go with gringos. This makes forming a relationship very difficult if your partner is being constantly abused.*****

You will easily find the same types of attitudes and comments when dating Mexican-American women also. I'm sure other countries might harbor those sentiments also. However I never experianced ant thing of the sort in all my trips to Colombia. In fact I noticed the opposite. I was welcomed with open arms.

I've been to Argentina and Uruguay also, the people there were very friendly and welcoming. So much so I felt guilty that we had that war with them.

A few more examples, hotels will 'bump' gringos off the reservation list if its a holiday and lots of Brasilians show up needing a room. This has happened many times and I've about 20 or so witnesses who have been victims of this treatment.

Queue jumping, go in a gas station or store, very frequently the attendant/assistant will serve any Brasilian who arrives until you are the only person left in the queue.

I could go on!

uhhmm? what war did WE have with argentina or uruguay? your not talking about the las malvinas\falklands war are you? if you are, that was a war between argentina and those british p****es!

you don't have to feel guilty for that. unless of course, you are british, in which case i kinda apologize for the previous statement, but not really!!!

by the way, you are very correct about the warm reception in argentina and uruguay. i had the very same experiences.

the whole of the latin world always, i mean always talks about how arrogant are the argentines and how they see themselves as better and more sophisticated than everyone, but i never felt this myself. not once!. and man o' man, talk about beautiful women!!!

having said that, you might want to do a little research on "that war with them" thing.

que le vaya bien, bro,

ha ha the fauklands war was in 1982 , a long time ago so no I don't feel guilty and judging from the  community of argentineas (quite a few restuarants have been appearing)  they are not that bothered either.

very interesting . i have never been to brazil i only know what i have read and what those who have traveled their have told me. i will tell you this i have talked with many many people who have traveled brazil and i have never once heard the kind of stories you have told , in fact i have always heard just the opposite , i heard the ladies are beautiful and very friendly , i heard that the beaches are great , the people are friendly , the food is good , the temperature is perfect and i should go check it out. just recently as three weeks ago i had lunch with a business associate , he just returned from two weeks in brazil and he just loved it .

There's a difference between going somewhere for a 'good time' and going to the same place to find a wife. I wouldn't dispute that you can have a 'good time' in Rio, however finding a 'good wife' there is a totally different prospect.

If there's one place to have a good time, its Rio (bring your money though). How can you say this about everywhere?

Dog, if the MOB industry was established in Brazil rather than Colombia you would have went there.  you would have went to Ecuador, Venezuela, Costa Rica wherever.  the fact that the agencies are concentrated in Colombia was the reason you went, not because of the hospitality of the Colombian people.  

if Colombia is such a great country, why do all those women want to leave??  why don't you move there with your fiancee???  I'm sure you would not be the only illiterate auto mechanic in Colombia.

The friendliest people I have ever encountered are probably dominicans.  however, their hospitality does not prevent some men from expressing resentment that foreigners are "stealing their women".  

what do you think they say about Americans when you are not around??  do you think the men sit around Cali and say, "Man, I wish some more agencies would open up so my girlfriend, sister, daughter can marry a gringo."  

"Boy isn't that nice, the girl I had a crush on all through highschool and college is marrying a 45 year old gringo.  How sweet"

Friends of mine have found good women in both the DR and Colombia. Infact Cali will be my next destination, just got to convert my Portuguese into Spanish.

p.s. I know only one gringo with a succesful marriage to a Brasilian girl, he lives there though and is fluent in the language.

any other latin woman in any country or any women for that matter.  I don't think those are traits unique to brazilian women.  

lets look at Colombia or the Dominican Republic.  women are obviously looking for a better life.  that may be a euphemism for gold digging but that is what it is.  

when I was in the DR last year I took a girl to a night club, a couple of guys came up to her and basically cussed her out because she was with me.  It happens everywhere.  

P.S.  this is the latin board.  Brasil is in latin america.  Posting information on countries besides Colombia is perfectly acceptable.
