As has been repeated many times, in many threads logistics is key to banging as many girls as possible. This applies so much more, now that getting one night stands is becoming more and important.
In Brazil 2nd dates are still the norm for banging, but the trend is heading more towards an American style mating market.
With this in mind my friends, when picking where to live there is one rule I have learned in Brazil. Pick an apartment or hotel next to the most important and centralized mall or one that is close to many malls.
The mistake I have made, especially in coastal cities, has been living by the best beach. My thought process was that it would display high value and what girl would refuse a date by a beautiful beach, with the sunset and wonderful breeze.
The problem is Brazilian girls are becoming busy bodies. Most are working, studying or doing both. A date by the beach is just too much of an inconvenience. They almost always insist on meeting at a mall, when you pipeline or daygame them.
In Joao Pessoa, it wasnt such a big problem because the most trendy beach (where I lived) was easily accesible and the city wasnt that spread out. But in most other coastal cities it will cost you notches.
In a city like Natal or Recife, meeting a girl at the mall who digs you and trying to take her back to your place by the beach feels awkward and most girls are not really up for it(they will make an excuse). Now if your pad was walking distance or a shot cab ride away that would disarm most of them.
Brazilian cities are terrible for logistics, but make the most of it by staying by a central areas next to malls. Forget the beach.

ya. especially true for Floripa.
I stayed at lagoa, thought it would be like close to the beach (actually its not), and its also not close to the city center either.

I would recommend staying in city center though in floripa, unless you going in peak season and just want to party on the beach all day with friends.

I have also seen a higher flake rate day gaming by the beaches than in malls, here in Brazil. Probably is due to the sex tourist stigma most foreigners have in coastal cities.

I agree with this. In Manaus, the center of the city is by Amazonas Shopping. The two main North/South roads run by it, so even if the girl lives far away she can get there. Plus, Ponta Negra beach really sucks to swim in.

For any meeting the next day, it was always at Millenium (I preferred meet up here rather than Amazonas, because it was easier to find her in Millenium). I'd then take her to the park that was nearby and find the esquina dos namorados to get her warmed up for the motel.

Yes Bacchus Manaus is a big city. But it just has 2 main mall areas close to each other. That is the only place the girl want to to go. Since I lived walking distance from Amazonas shopping, it was a piece of cake to get them to my pad.
Here in Natal, I should have found a place between Midway and Praia Shopping. The beach doesnt get you much neither here nor in Rio.

Choche can you please learn how to use the "return bar" and structure your writing into paragraphs. It's annoying trying to read one huge block of text.

Yeah I agree Floripa is a logistical nightmare anyplace you decide to stay.

During summers, Lagao de Conceicao (Black Swan & Confraria) is quite busy but besides one hostel not good for smashing local chicks there. Everything else is a 10 minute cab ride away. That'd maybe be ok for say a Sao Paulo, but these chicks would have to take an expensive cab ride home the next morning if they stayed in say Barra da Lagoa so that's pretty much a no no.

During non-peak, Centro is the place to be but options are not as extensive as I'd like them to be.

Really super peak is best for Jurere Internacional with all the beach clubs like P12, Cafe de La Musique, Pacha, and Taiko open Dec 26th till Jan 7th, Carnaval, and for special VIP events held sporadically throughout the year. If you are looking for special events with cream of the crop chicks, look up specific websites for Cafe de La Musique, Pacha, and P12 off peak as you might get something cool to attend on the calendar say maybe April, Sept, Oct, Nov. Keep in mind a lot of these local professional chicks still live at home with their parents so if a special event is going on in Jurere during a non-peak season, they're likely renting a hotel room with discounted in crowd pricing & disposable income as you can go to their suites for pre/post party drinking which can lead to shagging them there or bringing them back to your pad.

Though I didn't seal the deal in Floripa, I can speak for Porto Alegre as an apt in Cidade Baixa would be your best bet (most young professionals live there too). The nightlife areas there are Soho, Moinhos de Vento, and of course Cidade Baixa. Local girls there know that nightlife areas are scattered with quantity and quality in each neighborhood but you can lead them back to Cidade Baixa via cheap cab ride as the distances aren't killer like Floripa. The cabs aren't oober cheap per se, but the distances make things very bearable. The girls can then trot on back home by foot or take a much more efficient bus system that is lacking in Floripa after a nite of fun.

This is a simple yet clutch piece of data. Like you, I would have naturally thought to get a sweet pad by the beach and try to lure girls there. While it may not be quite as relaxing, it's now easy to see how living right by the mall would have many advantages. Thanks for the tip.
