actually I can find 10 girls on latincupid from cities all over latin american ... and write them all the same emails and what I will get is around 5-7 responses abroad and possible 1 to zero responses here...
You know why, Jersey? You know why. Yes, I once bought the "They're poor" argument, until I lived down here. Take my girl for example. She didn't advertise on BrazilCupid, but her girlfriend did, and introduced us. At the time we met, she was paying 300 reias/mo. for her apartment in Belford Roxo. That's about $180 dollars. Food for locals is incredibly cheap - and good, by the way. And living an 1.5 hours out of Rio, salons are cheap, as is much shopping, including for clothes. So here's this 33 y.o. girl, living on her own, wearing designer clothes, and supporting herself fine, thank you very much. Further her network of friends is deep, with regular get-togethers and a lot of laughs. Her family is 7 hours by bus when she feels the need.
The point is, her job is adequate to live a very full life, including having a computer and CAM in her crib. She's well aware of the quick bucks programa girls make, but never had interest and never needed it. She says it's all in how you grow up.
These girls who are responding when their sisters to the north could give a flying phuck, like something about you - your foto, something you wrote, etc. - besides your money. (American girls love money, so I fail to see the "poor" argument as salient.) Further, there aren't a lot of guys these girls want to phuck in their own back yard. Girls here see local guys as pure dogs. We may be the same, but they hope not. And so you're a celebrity to start with, a foreigner, probably with some bucks, and most importantly, not one of the local dogs they see day in and day out, trying to cop a cheap feel or instigate with a sexist comment. Finally, these girls have sex in their blood and they're not afraid to show it. I have found the non's to be every bit as adventuresome as the hottest sluts in the termas - something I surely cannot say about the stereotypical gringa.
And why don't those gringas call you? You know that answer, too. It's because they're tired. They're bored. They're full. They're busy. They're in a hurry. They're picky. They're serious. They're religious. They're drunk. They're married. They're phucked...and the list goes on and on. They have their fill, sir. They're no different than us when we're down here, batting them off like flies. I actually get annoyed with the attention down here in Rio at times - and can relate to the "ho-hum" gringas must feel. Even if a gringa LIKES you, she's still likely to be in SLOW-MO!
So my advice is WAKE UP! It's never going to change. If you like Latinas, learn their language and come on down! Or at least save your money for those essential trips. The worst thing you could do is think you're going to find the beauty, warmth, passion, and appreciation from girls from Key West, north. There are exceptions and if you want to wait, more power to you.
Life is too precious for that, IMHO.
