Greetings from Brazil

[abrutha]

after an all niter from iad via atlanta i am in sao paulo. I am staying at the HILTON mORUMBI, and its a fantastic hotel. i am using 40k hilton points for 2 nites, which equaes to $100 per nite. i have been upgraded to the executive level with free grub and free happy hour

i will be here for 2 days, originally i had 2 women to meet, that i had contacted via latin euro. turns out one said she speaks english but doesnt, the other ha some nice photos, but the must have been 5 - 10 years old, as in the new photos she is not that hot. so i passed on both, and will solo it while here.

will spend 2 days in salvador after that

then 2-4 days somewhere in the state of rio de janiero - niteroi and sao gongalvo

someone mentioned the babe in the catsuit from latin euro
i got an email from her as she lives in juiz da fora
her profile says she speaks english, but she says she speaks none
if my other options dont work out, i will ask her to come to rio and maybe we can play that Batman -Catwoman game for a day or 2

peace

Two more examples of the Latin Euro address pimps at work (I assume that in the case of the first girl you mentioned above it was her online profile that said she speaks English).

Not long ago someone was telling about a woman on the LE site who explicitly stated that she was only interested in white men, yet this fact did not show up in her online profile, and she got something like thirty letters from interested black men. Wonderful-- just stellar business ethics. Just think of the time, money and hope those guys wasted.

You know, for someone who has the passion and patience, there is a huge opportunity to be exploited there, by doing what they do right (advertising and getting a lot of pretty babes) and not replicating their unethical practices.

i just checked my email
here is her message

eu estou cursando ingles a pouco tempo,por isso nao entendo muito bem. Mas e so por alguns meses, beijos.

but i do agree, latin euro sucks

because i only write women who profiles say they speak english, it takes a while for me to get enough to make an order, but in that time many of the addys have gone bad

i have had to threaten latin euro with not paying my credit card bill to get the replacements

in short, they suck
but they have a limited monopoly on the market

If that's all she wrote to you, that's pretty cursory anyway. I wonder what kind of results she was expecting from her ad if she doesn't understand much English.

If it's $49 for 15, maybe you should just order five or ten at a time. If the overall objective is finding the love of your life, that's still only $5-10 per addy. Seems to me like that's the big picture to look at.

Somebody needs to break that monopoly, then. Latin Social Network is working on it, but there is still room for improvement. You'd have to prime the pump as far as advertising, but once the ball is rolling, imagine how much money this LE dude must be making, and what are his expenses for profiles once they are up? He has a rented mailbox that gives him a shell of an address, and except for running new ads (prob. expensive) and paying for internet/phone and a few other things, he's just coining money now. What does it cost him to fulfill an order of 15 or 45 addresses? Ka-ching! $49 or $79, and he doesn't even have to pay postage. And in his case, since he obviously isn't afflicted with a sense of ethics, they could be five-year-old addresses he's selling. If anyone points out that an address is bad, he'll replace it, then keep on selling it to other customers. If only half the guys who buy a bad address wind up complaining and demanding restitution, that means the other half of them pay for it and don't complain.

actually out of 75, i can get 2 to 5 worth talking to, there is no info on the profiles, so once i exclude the women with kids, 3rd grade educations, and smokers, there is not much there except pretty faces, which is enough for a lot of guys, to buy addresses

personlly, i~d rather have them post full profiles and i´ll pay a higher per addy price

Latin Social Network has the same strategy, they all live in fear of latin euro, so they follow the same business model - sell profiles with no relevant information at a low price

there is a new agenvy
i dont kno if they are legit or not
as they seem to have many of the same profiles that latin euro have
check our ´best of brazil´

[STM]

There are about 5-6 Brazil agencies, but geared toward Europeans.

Someone LWL posted them all, about 1 or 2 years ago.

[abrutha]

yes i know about most of them, most are in salvador or recife, with at least 2 in sao paulo and 1 in rio

membership is 1000 to 1500 euros

[abrutha]

made it to salvador

a woamn from latin euro met me at the airport
i didnt even know who she was

her hair is now braided, with fake extensions
a real turnoff for me

i took her to dinner
she said she has been on latin euro for 4 months
she said she has had 3 europeans visit her
from italy, germany and sweden
i am the first american

on the way back from the airport she was sorta pissed that i took the executive bus ($2.00) vs a cab ($25.00)
but with the exchange rate at 2.2 reals to a $, and dropping daily, i´m not trying to impress her

she speaks english, and is in her 3rd year of college, so she is great in that respect, but physically doesnt do anything for me


so i am off to Praca de Se and the Pelourinha this afternoon, then onto the Aeroclube tonight, maybe i will pick up a few of Ray´s leftovers [img]tongue.gif[/img]
