Sure, if you're cooking for yourself, and living frugally you can get by with "muito pouco" in Brazil. On the other hand if you pick a classy apartment in the trendy districts of Sampa, eat at the best restaurants etc. etc. you can spend far more than any average UK or USA salary.

Well the great thing about here is pick your restaurants carefully and you don't pay a lot. I can pay 5 times as much for equivalent types of food in the UK, and it's nowhere near as good.

5000 dollars a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so i dont live in SP or any big city but hey, 5000 dollars a month?

Take 1 large house, 2 large dogs, 1 live in maid, a guy who does the pool 3 time s a week (Including chemicals), a gardener once a month, gasoline and insurance for a Chevy S10-4.3 liter,electricity, gas, health insurance, VERY good living, BBQ,s, beer, wine etc. Eating out twice a week, and clothes, diapers etc for a 2 1/2 year old child.......

We never spend more than 2000 dollars a month, usually around 1300-1600............
Seriousley, we could trim these costs down to a thousand or less if we wanted to.

CAPTN, my hat off to you if your managing on less, maybe i drink more than you???

I guess the North East coast is the place to be?
Big round of applause for us CAPTN....

As for the age difference, a fifty, sixty, seventy year old with his own place, money etc will obviousley find a partner here, of course he will NEVER know why she is with him...........you just have to use all of the knowledge gained in your 50 years to pick the right one, dont give too much, dont expect too much, one thing is to let her know your not taking her out of Brazil, if she is happy you will know she is happy, if it doesnt work out, move on, try again............do you want a full time partner, maybe just play the field for a while, see what position you feel comfortable in!!!!

Can i just say i LOVE this Forum, never a dull moment!!!

Later people..xx

I don't know if this will help now but my impression of brazil was that moderate age differences are fine but large age differences might not work.

Probably if he settles for 35-40 year olds, it should not be too hard. 18 year olds are more difficult

Some age difference is normal in Brazil, but 20 vs 50 is a bit much. 35 vs 50 is probably easy.

Brazilians want to have fun, sex, great bodies. So if he were a Mick Jagger, a pro golfer or so, he would have better chances. And if you are like some gringos who are not in shape and manners of Attila the Hun forget getting any chica.

From what I understand, Thailand, Russia and Philippines are countries where he would have a better chance of finding a lady in her early 20's. There the girls are desperate to land a foreigner, and are less choosy in terms of physical attributes.

the only way to snatch a 20 yr old is if shes a pro or if you have money, there is no major problem. You will get laid. But young, cute and handsome guys will get laid more, and laid with more passion.

Just my 2 pence worth
