The same goes for race as well. Which is why we used to see so many "black guy" threads in the forum. I remember this Puerto Rican guy who looked white (blonde, 6'2, blue eyes) was telling me how easy Brazil was for American guys, and that women would throw themselves at him the entire time. He proceeded to show me his phone full with pictures, and texts (in Portuguese) of women claiming their undying love for him.
No less than a week later I meet a black guy who actually LIVES in Brazil. And I told him about the other guys experience. He looked at me with the "are you kidding me face" and when I told him he was a white looking puerto rican guy he said "oohhhhh, I thought you were talking about a black guy having success like that" And he proceeded to tell me that don't expect to get "Video Vixen" quality women in Brazil that aren't pros. It just don't happen for black men. And the ones it happens for speak Portuguese fully, and know these women from work, school, and/or some other form of low intensity social event.
Since I deal with Real Estate he told me something I never forget. You can't value a house without comparable sales (Comps) and you can't value someones experience with out comps either. In Real Estate the sq footage, beds, bath have to be exact or as close as possible or you can't use that price to justify your price. So don't use a 6'2 considered white guy for your "Comps" in how Brazil would treat you. Use someone who is similar to you.
