Sometimes the "chill out" posture of the Gringo is what makes them attractive to girls as well. I remember some situations in Pub Crawls which I met lads from Holland and I've been approached by girls asking them to marry now! lol
If anybody as read the Brazil book by Roosh, he mentioned something along the lines of sometimes waiting even 2-3 hours just to escalate with a girl as a foreigner. Pretty much what you said about the "chill out" posture as a stretched out method of building traction. I can personally attest to this at times.

Not to ruin anyone's dream of Paradise but I heard an interesting piece of news.
My mother, who came to visit me in Fortaleza 2 weeks ago, went to Rio after, for 4 days and said there was more chubby and obese girls, than in Fortaleza.
I was astounded by how many chubby and fat girls (even young ones) I saw in Fortaleza. And I still really liked the city. But I never expected Rio to be worse. In Fortaleza your foreigner value with Portuguese skills is such, you can still find very many good young women.
Not that mother's opinions matter in the forum matter, but she has lived in both the US and Ecuador all her life and has traveled. At 60 something she is a fitness freak who notices when I have gained 1 or 2 ,and cant stop talking about it.
And she is a woman who notices how other woman are compared to her.
Rio is a city with three faces:
1) Chill laidback anything goes. Open-minded, not easily offended.
2) The classic Rio. People taking care of their appearances, working out a lot, running on the beach, etc.
3) The side I've been hammered the most unfortunately being..oober feminist, constantly trying to push the agendas that men should not take appearances into consideration when dating women, and annoying agenda pushers about political correctness on everything.
If anything, the third category I mentioned is a huge enabler for fat acceptance in Rio if not fat encouragement.
A very good friend in my US-based post-grad program was born in Belo Horizonte. He can attest to the fact that a lot of Rio natives are oober politically correct & always needed their feelings to be coddled in social situations.
I honestly love the local culture of Rio & the city itself...the young people however...
Sometime ago, there were Brazilian PHDs doing research at my university in the US. They all liked to use the gym, do outdoorsy stuff, and play in sports leagues (obviously soccer). The Carioca (Rio de Janeiro guy) however was a lazy piece of shit who never did anything and always asked to hang out.....
