Going to Brazil is not going to promise you a quality relationship. The benefits you speak of are purely because of the novelty of being in Brazil. It is only a vacation spot for alot of very serious reasons.

People are a product of the environment and culture the live in. I guarantee you, if you find a brazilian woman, bring her back to the states, she will change, because her environment has changed.

True dat! I am not saying that Brazil is a cure-all for relationship problems and that all Brazilians have it going on. They have their share of problems too - poverty, high crime rates, drug wars, domestic violence, etc but it is SOEMTHING in their spirits that allows them to sort of rise above it and keep it moving. It is not so much looking for a serious relationship as much as it is experiencing life, especially black life, in another country. Afro-Brazilians are basically very friendly. It is more of having that experience of friendship and dating in another place with a different language and enjoying one's life. It is primarily a fantasy but sometimes a person needs a break from reality.

Quickly. Brah some woman/women did the Gregory Hines on your heart brah you got to get over that. Move on and look in the mirror because like I tell women, if you keep getting messed over and meeting the same person every time there is probably something wrong with you not them.

I've been where dude has been before and I refused to go back after I learned how to move on. Another thing was that I wasn't acting if I cared for myself and women would take advantage of that. I had to wake up and realize that at a point, you have to glue back together the broken and make it as though nothing was ever broken in the first place.

I've been there too! In fact, I still see it in my rearview mirror.

He's gotta stop giving a sh!t. Once he does that, it's all good.
