I just spent two weeks in Salvador. I'm not usually into black girls in America, but I saw plenty in Salvador that I wanted to bang. True, there's lots of busted chicks but overall it was pretty good. If you go to the nicer clubs it's a mix of everything white, brown and black so you can take your pick. I actually think that in the clubs the hottest girls I saw were brown and black, the white girls didn't do nothing for me though I usually prefer darker skinned chicks.
In two weeks I got one bang and three make outs and lots of crazy nights. Don't forget that there are a ton of Brazilian tourists from other parts of the country and they usually act crazy on vacation.
And it's hard to give a racial mix breakdown but if I had to guess I'd say its 40% black, 40% mixed, and 20% white. It is dependent on the area though.
How was the safety issue, did you stay in the Pelherino (sp/?), or in the suburb Barra?
In Roosh's guide to the NorthEast, he made Salvador sound super sketchy and dangerous.
I've been to Rio and I thought the safety issues were over-hyped, can you shed some light on the scene in Salvador. Did you ever feel unsafe, did you walk the streets at night, etc.?
The Pelherino is really sketchy. Even though there's lots of cops in the tourist areas you still get pestered by annoying kids who are strung out on god knows what (glue? heroin?). There's all sorts of mega fucked up ppl there. I actually got mugged there one night at like 4 am but I was wasted beyond belief and they only got like $1.
I also stayed in Barra, it's MUCH less shady but even at night near the beach I was told not to walk and I know ppl who got mugged there but he was walking home at like 5 am. Still, much safer than Pelherino.
So overall Salvador is not the safiest place but I think it isn't as bad as the hype. The thing is lots of tourists just go to the Pelhorino for a few days. They are totally amazed at how many shady characters are around there and then they think the entire city sucks. Truth is that it's the third biggest city in Brazil and you can't just judge it on the Pelhorino. It's still worth a visit IMO.
