Race question and my Latin America travel observations

Hah, yeah the girl I almost messed with at Zanzabar was a military wife in fact. I was just too nice a guy to mess with a soldier's wife while he's putting his ass on the line for the country. That seemed just plain wrong.

Trust me, you wouldn't have been her first.

Banging a deployed service member's wife is something I am happy to say I've never done. In all my navy years I probably had 10 thousand opportunities too. It's not the moral side of it for me though. With my luck I'll get the one who's sniper husband tracks me down when he gets back.

Girlfriends are another story. I love them.

Well fman,

My buddy and I went to Femme Nu last night. We took a couple of dancers out to a bar after they got off. He is a black man. The dancers were white. I just spoke to him, the one he was with is still at his house.

I, on the other hand, struck out.

BTW: I have never stayed in a hostel. Is that a good place to meet girls from around the world? Are they normally partiers and outgoing? Also has anyone used Couchsurfing.com? Have the people been pretty cool? Thanks all for the tips!

Hostels are great places to meet people and share travels tips. As far as hooking up with different girls it can be a hit or miss. It all depends how the hostel is set up. Some of them are very conductive to hooking up like they have bars that stay open late, common areas and are centrally located while others are run more like military barracks with their stupid rules and are boring as shit. There is not a lot of diversity when it comes to Hostel girls. 90% of them are not really that attractive and are either going to be from the UK, Australia or Israel. Personally, I am not big into fucking with Hostel chicks, I am not going to get on the airplane for 4+ hours just to be with a busted White chick, I can do that back in NY. However, if there's something in the hostel with a nice bubble and peeks my interest, then I am open to putting my bid in. Another reason, why I usually do not even bother is that the competition for white chicks is fierce. It seems to me that these Local and some British dudes will do a refrigerator as long as its white. on a positive note, a lot of hostel chicks are terrified that a horny local is going to attempt to take the punani, so you can leverage that fear by going out to clubs with them. Nothing demonstrates higher social value in Latin America than being surrounded by a whole bunch of White women. You wont even have to approach the Locals, they'll approach you.

You got me amped again about going here. It seems like things differ from person to person on this Peru thing. How long were you in Cuzco? Did you notice any passive interest?

I was in Cuzco for about 4 days. I didn't really noticed any passive interest because to be honest I didn't find the local women there to be that attractive, the same thing can be said about Puno. I have this personal rule for myself. I will not do anything less than a 6, I might go lower if its a chick with an ethicity that I have never been with. Don't get me wrong, It is still worth going for Machu Pichu but competition was fierce and even the fat hostel chicks had bitch shields that were cranked up way into overdrive. If you go into Peru make sure you hit up this beach town called Mancora and spend time in Lima. The locals in those places were friendlier, prettier and much nicer attitudes. On a side note, what sup with all these British dudes wifeing up(getting into relationships) these disgusting looking white chicks and then basically following them around all thru Latin America? That's not Mackish at all. I would not mess with those chicks 30 min after closing time at a bar let alone scrap my travel plans and follow them around like a lapdog. They are in serious need of game.

This is very interesting stuff man. I hadn't even thought about that, because I assumed the richest ones would be the least receptive. Gives us some things to think about.

Thanks a lot and glad to be of help. No blog yet. I have been in a relationship for most of the year so that has slow down my traveling and Macking. But when I am single again is going to be " Return of the Mack"

I am surprised by this one a bit however since Medellin is in the mountains I bet they don't see as many black guys as on the coast.

I saw plenty of Blacks in Medellin. Not as many as in Brooklyn but they were enough of them as to not make it rare.

I have to put AR on my map then! I was thinking Cordoba. Have you been their? Do you consider BA just as good? Hahaha...I have to say You GUYS are coming out of the Wood works!!! Good stuff!!

Never been to Cordoba, I know Roosh was promoting it kinda hard. I just didnt have the time to go there to check it out. BA is off the hook. Make sure you check out this bar called Sugar and another one called Gilbatar(SP) I met a lot of Brothers from the US and Africa in there and choped up some very Good Game. Just meet up with some of them and join their social circle and you'll be able to meet lots of fine Argentian women who are receptive to being with Brothers. I am not guaranteeing you going to get some ass but at least you'll meet alot of interesting people. Also, another place I recommend is this bar called Shamrock and this Brazilian club called "Maluco Beleza" which is stacked with the best Brazilian trim outside of Rio.

Good list. Personally, I like to be at the vanguard of game. I would go to Siberia and Mongolia and spit good game at chicks over there if it wasn't that cold. My goal is to visit every country in the world by the time I am 50. I have been to around 40 countries and the places I had the most fun where in countries were I was told the Brothers do not do very well (Argentina and Peru) and crashed and burn in places were they said the Brothers do well (Germany) My advice to Brothers is to just go wherever you want to go. Getting a local chick to worship the Mandingo should only be a bonus. However, statistics dictate that a country with millions of women there has to be at least one bad bitch(7.5-10 rating) that's going to feel you.

Race question and my Latin America travel observations

THis is a really interesting thread.

I'm 27 black, tall and speak pretty good spanish
I enjoyed reading the experiences that playa wit a passport had in latinamerica. It really shows how different to people's experience can be in the same country.

Here's my breakdown using Playa's legend.



Legend
*=Don’t love the Brothers even whores won’t fuck you.
**=Lukewarm response or Locals look like hot mess.
***=Might get some love with good crisp tight Game.
****= Even Gary Coleman will get some ass.


Mexico.***
I've been to primarily border cities. Ciudad juarez, Mexicali, Tijuana and Laredo. I've recieved lots of good attention from the local women, ranging from 6s-8s. Hung out with a caucasion friend of mine in CJ and we both ended up closing on two chicks from a nightclub. Me and another brotha pulled some senoritas in TJ after a Pitbull concert, also chatted with a few online that were receptive to going out. Hit up some clubs in mexicali and got approached by several women.


Guatemala:****
People were extremely friendly no problems. I concur the local girls were nothing to write home about with few exceptions. Most in the solid 5-7 range. I didn't do the club thing but the daytime game was insane, especially in the small towns. I got eye contact all over the place, even the hotel receptionists. I hit 4 in a week without breaking a sweat.

El Salvador:***
I'm suprised about the "no negro" comments playa wit a passport made for this one. Admittedly I didnt spend much time here but everyone I encountered was friendly. Especially this one fine senorita in the airport security staff who flirted with me hardcore and did everything but ask me to do it with her right then and there. Unfortunately my plane was leaving in 10mins., plus... I would have needed at least 30mins. lol

Honduras:?

Only spent a day here so I couldn't really get a vibe for it. I would love to return though, the women are pretty cute.

Nicaruagua:***
I hdad an good time in nicaragua, i got nothing but love in the smaller cities and towns. Although, I hit the most exclusive disco in the capital with a buddy of mine and was flat-out refused entry, most likely due to skin color. As soon as I started speaking english and said I was american they let us in and I was surrounded by hotties and ended up nailing a college chick.



Costa Rica:***
Costa Rica to me has a lot of potential but I think a longer time is needed to hookup with the girls. Brothas wont have problems here as there is a decent size costarican/jamaican population in the coast and the capital. Women are friendly. Believe it or not, I found the whiter girls to be more down to earth than the black ones.

Panama:**
There are many beautiful women in panama but a dark skinned brotha will have an uphill battle in my opinion. This is based on my experience and a black panamanian buddy of mine from the U.S. I went out to a club with some white guys from a hostel, girls were all over them, I didn't get any play. Blacks are everywhere here so you will not stick out and will be assumed as poor. On the flipside you don't have to worry about being robbed late at night. So that's a plus.

Colombia:**
I've been to Medellin, Bogota, Cartagena and Cali. Starting with Medellin, I was surprised to see as many blacks as I did since this is touted as the whitest part of colombia. Reception here was...meh..had no problems with black girls that were 5's. Other girls were not receptive to my approaches. I did the backpacker thing so that might have something to do with it. It seems like the women here (non-puta), are slow to give it up. My white buddy was going with this chica for over a wk steady with no action. Bogota wasn't my thing, the weather was always cold, overcast and often rainy. The altitude thing sucks too. Nightlife here was non existant during the week. The girl's looks here were very disappointing as well. Cali has a very large black population and is very spread out, didn't really find anything here, I hit the malls and didn't see any stunners. Cartagena was very touristy, they're where some gorgeous women here although many were stuck up, but they could have been from miami(probably were) they have tons of nightclubs and more english speakers than anywhere else in colombia. There is a huge blatant drug scene here, you can't enter a club without being offered stuff.


Ecuador:*

Ecuador is really not a country for brothas. I didn't go to quito, but spent time in guayaquil(the largest city) and along the coast. Ecuadorian Chicas act like your invisible there, they really arent that impressive either mainly 5s and 6s. The only chica's i got a vibe with were some american and peruvian tourists. Needless to say I won't be back.

Peru:*
I had high hopes for peru, but I found 80% of the female population unattractive. These women have no tits or ass and many have terrible hygiene. I Spoke to a few brothas in a hostel who had been in lima for 2 weeks and nobody had pulled anything. I spent my time in Lima and Cusco, i didn't go to the coast but I've seen pics and those girls are a lot more attractive. This is a cool country and cheap too, go for the cultural stuff, but not for the women.

Argentina***

Argentina was nice, I went in January and it was humid as hell, make sure you got A/C for real! Women here are either hot or cold, which makes it easy when you can find one that's hot. Then when she gets cold move on to the next one. I saw a few brothas while I was there, mainly africans and dominicans.

Even though you are black you will not look like a Brazilian. It's a green cow thing: only a green cow can recognize another one. (lol) Peolple will know that you are not from here.

I kinda have a disclaimer to make with regards to Central America, I had non existent Game at that time (I was 21). The planets and moons literally had to be lined up in order for me to get some pussy. The only time I would talk to girls were if they came over and talk to me first. As we all know Latin culture is a place where Machismo is king, so shy and insecure guys do not get laid much.

How long were you in El Salvador? I was going to stay there a week but ended up staying just one day because the whole place just felt unsafe. I had a similar experience in Managua. I am surprised that none of the Brothas at the hostel got any ponany, I found Peruvians chicks to be very receptive to some good Game. I was in Lima for a total of two days waiting for a flight to clear up for Cuzco. Peruvians in Cuzco did look like a fucking hot messes.

Quote:Quote:

Getting ass from local girls as a Black man backpacking or traveling on a shoe string budget in Latin America is hard. It kinda of makes sense, why would some chick from the Barrios fuck a broke Black dude from the US with a dirty backpack when there are plenty of local broke Black cock for her to choose from, At least with White dudes the novelty /curiosity angle is there. Of all the Brothas in the forum who did well in Latin America I believe none of them were backpacking. This is not really a problem for me because worst comes to worst, I'll go back to my roots and fuck some chubby White chick whose staying in the Hostel.

Race question and my Latin America travel observations

PlayawitaP,

This reply is about a month late, I just got back from another trip to latin america!

Let me elaborate a little, when I went to central america I was around the same age as you between 20 and 22 with intermediate spanish and my game wasn't much better. I was a backpacker lite, not a broke full-fledged unwashed, unshaved, stereo-typical backpacker. I always traveled with crisp new clothes, and nice shoes. They didn't scream out "ROB ME", but I always distinguished myself from the poor black locals(If there were any, in many cities there wasnt.)

I stayed in a hostel a day or two whenever I arrived to a new city just to meet english-speaking contacts my own age to give me the lay of the land. Afterwards, I stayed in primarily decent, but modestly priced hotels so I could bring someone back if the opportunity arrived. I didn't do any cooking while I was there and got most of my meals in nice restaurants. I wasn't trying to get by on a $20 a day budget, but I wasn't trying to pretend I was P-Diddy for a month either.

I also didn't visit all the countries in one big trip, I usually did 2 or 3 at a time. I agree with you that the curiousity thing is a factor, but just as you stated a white dude is a novelty in MOST of latin america, but BROTHAS are a novelty in quite a few areas, like Argentina, Chile, El Salvador and 90% of Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and Guatemala. PlayawitaP, you asked me about el salvador. I was only in El Salvador a few days, but I've had several Salvi girlfriends in the US and had no problems in their country.

Race question and my Latin America travel observations

Brazil is a country that is unlike the other countries of the region. Like comparing America to Mexico. Brazil is an immigrant country that had slavery. Most people are still totally white (much like Uruguay and Argentina). Race is very much an issue. Difference between Brazil and Argentina and Uruguay is Brazil has more diversity in immigration. Many more Germans, East Europeans, Lebanese, Japanese, Dutch, and Scandinavians in Brazil. Reason why you see so many natural blonde girls in Brazil (unless you go to the North or Rio which is a small part of Brazil). I see more natural blondes in Brazil than America in 2010.

A perfect example of what Brazil is about is found on tv and the modeling world. The most famous tv personality is Xuxa. Even an amusement park in Sao Paulo is dedicated to her. She would select girls to be her helpers. The Paquitas (she took the name from a parrot in America) were always as white as can be. Here is a famous song about Indians. I can't imagine this being done in America or Mexico (where the people have Indian blood in them).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba9JLbDrp...hQncrUq-1Q

Modeling is also massive in Brazil. Go to the south. Every 13 year old girl dreams of getting sent to Sao Paulo then Milan. The South is where all the models come from. Mostly a mix of German/East European/Northern Italian. No such thing as a black fashion model from Brazil. Most have Germanic names.

Is it racism? Who knows. I do know that an American would probably think Brazil is the most racist place on earth.

Xuxa doesn't even look Brazilian. She just looks like someone from Scandinavia who moved to Brazil. I think the definitive Brazilian beauty is exotic, has a caramel complexion, curly,wavy hair, some combination of black, Portuguese and indigenous features and a huge ass. That's what comes to mind when I think of a Brazilian woman, not someone like Xuxa or Giselle Bundchen.

I've rolled thru Brasil (N of Sao Paulo) many times...and the majority of people are in fact Black, or some combo of African/Indian/Portuguese, where the Black genes dominate. White Brasilians are in the minority, but own the majority of wealth. That is what has got to change -- big time!

I can see where he's coming from. We in the US have a very rigid and simple definition as to what's considered "Black." A lot of places overseas specially Latin America in order to be considered Black you literally have to be as dark as Wesley Snipes and in some places you are only considered Black if you only self identified as such. For example, in the Dominican Republic, it's very common to find Black people who will tell you with a straight face that they are mixture of Taino Indians and European blood even thought phenotypically they look 100% West African and that Taino Indians have been extinct for almost 400 years. Unfortenely, a lot of American Black chicks have started to jump into this bandwagon. A lot of sistas I met lately are bragging about all these different type of weird "mixes" that they made up out of thin air.

No, you definitely would be considered black in the US. Even if you look almost white, but have a black parent like Quincy Jones daughter Rashida Jones, you're still considered black here. Or even Malcolm Gladwell. I know it sounds weird, but that's how works in the US.

Only place where it's even weirder is in Russia where they consider blacks to be not only Africans but anyone from central Asia.

Clarence Thomas (US Supreme Court Justice) stated that this is the reason why he became a conservative. He said that light skinned blacks very blatantly discriminated against him when he got to Yale and that it was very hypocritical for Blacks to complain against White racism and at the same time condone colorism within the Black community. I remember coming of age in the early 90's in NY where if you weren't red boned like Chico Debarge, you just wasn't gonna get any ass. Chicks would straight out tell me, " you just too dark." Now it's amazing how the pendulum has swung the complete opposite way in less than 10years. Dark skinned Brothas have taken over the building, I get way way more than my "fair share."
