Trip Length: 3 months
About me: I'm six foot one, weigh about 165 now (was around 170-175 then went catabolic), lean muscle build, dark short hair, brown eyes, tan, latino, 21. Just started to run game regularly about a year ago but still suffer from oneitis occasionally; i stray from alpha mentality every now and then. My rotation tends to max out at 3 or 4, by this i mean girls that i text regularly and we have a mutual interest in each other. I usually am able to hold 2 girls that are very interested in me and have them come over to my place during the week (or am able to go over their place). I feel more comfortable with day gaming, but still do decent at clubs.
The island: A beautiful and scenic place, the natural beauty on that island is breath taking. Beaches are nice. Joaquina is by far my favorite the waves are decent for surfing and not too overwhelming that you cant go out to the water for a nice time. The infrastructure in the island is by far one of the worst things about it. The bus system also sucks. I would recommend renting a car, they are very cheap to do so and did it a couple of times during the weekends to travel around the island and some places off it. The restaurant service varies but is usually subpar. Good places to eat are the very north at praia dos inglesses and at the south in ribereao da ilha. The best thing to look forward to when eating out is the sea food (best and biggest oysters I’ve ever had). The cost of living is quite high compared to the rest of the country and taxi costs add up quick. For a short stay I would recommend somewhere north of the island if you have the money to party with their wealthy in Jurere. If not Lagoa and Centro are nice places. Needless to say (atleast I hope) you should probably focus on logistics when picking a place to stay. By that I mean if you got serious game and want to get with a dime that thinks shes at the same level as Alessandra then you should probably stay near Jurere or in a nice place at Centro. Most people you see out will come from money. Not a big shock because the island is the playground for rich people that live in sao paolo, rio, Brasilia, and the occasional European guys. To get a more authentic Brazil experience I would not go to this island. The island has a lot of decent hikes that are short and lead to secluded beaches. If you truly love to travel and stare at nature for long periods of times I would definitely recommend. All the decent ones are on tripadvisor (the islands population goes from 400k to 1.2 million during their summer about December- march/april) which makes the whole thing immobile. The roads are not build for those kind of numbers.
The nightlife and night game: Fun with friends or someone who you have been spitting game to throughout the week. I experienced the Island during low season so I think I got the best experience in terms of getting to know how these people really are. There are a lot good places to party on the island surprisingly is pretty diverse in terms of music taste. Good places to go to in Lagoa for Brazilian music is Casa de Noca the music will vary throughout the weekend but overall a nice venue (small) but the people that go are the friendliest I’ve seen. Mustafa Lounge is kind of nice too if you like reggae. The big clubs in Centro are pretty much overrun by house music. Finding a party is not hard at all. *Kind of relevant side note. Before I forget, if you go on a Tuesday and can dance or atleast are willing to try Forro do Joaquina is also really good, easy to meet regular girls and have fun. What worked for me in heavy oriented places to dance was talking to the once that were on the periphery of the club and then when the conversation slowed down or I started to lose interest I would simply grab the girls hand (I’d make sure it seems natural-ish haha) and say “teach me” even if she said she wasn’t good or she couldn’t I’d say have fun or “let’s just have fun”.* The problem with the nightlife in Floripa is that finding a girl that has interest in you is fucking hard. I would flat out say it, there is no point in sugar coating it, these girls are cliquish and nothing about being foreign except for, say, being blonde and blue eyed will wow them. They are brain washed to love that. I don’t expect them to be wowed at me being foreign but if throw a question like “where are you from?” and the girl answers but doesn’t give a fuck why my Portuguese has an accent and doesn’t ask where I’m from I find that beyond me. That being said if it felt like I was pulling teeth and couldn’t get this girl interested in me I moved on. Most of them have been to America and Europe. The good thing is that they are quick to tell you not to waste your time, close to the last week of my stay I got blown off so fast I was both amazed and dumbfounded. Which reminds me, don’t go to the Black Swan. The girls are hot but its mainly packed with uptight bishes, got terrible vibes from these girls. Tried it twice both times didn’t like it. Music both times was soft rock with a live band. The cover fee also sucks. I would also recommend practicing Portuguese before going they actually liked when I spoke it. Many times I got positive reactions from girls that were amazed by mine.
Day gaming: Easily what worked best for me. I talked to some guys and they say is not common to randomly walk up to a girl and start talking to her. I took this as a huge green light. I come off casually and if I notice a pretty girl walking I catch up and simply say hi and smile and begin from there. Note I’m a student and only went after girls in the very early 20 range haha. So I’m not sure about older chicks. But I’m sure at worst they will be flattered (one girl could not stop smiling at me). Each approach I do is sort of a mini interview. I have a very good success rate with this. Something like 2/3 girls or 3/5, I define success as having a girl noticeably interested and me getting her number. I make the conversations last about 8-12 minutes which gives me enough time to get their number. I usually end up with I gotta go to blah blah blah now, can I have your number. This way I would get good potential girls throughout the week so I could chill with them on the weekends. I usually approach soft 7s to 7.5 but mostly 7’s. I think I have decent looks and I try to dress non bummy throughout the week (I think taking advice from gq for like a year now has helped me a lot with this). Girls to meet seem easier to meet in the Centro during the day. Seems to me like they have time to waste if they are there browsing.
Overall experience: Unless you are in the neighborhood and have money to spend go, otherwise there are far easier places to get laid.
