If you are a introvert person : a foreigner is better , if you are a extrovert person : a brazillian is good choice
ONLY if you are brazilian and extroverted. Brazilians are insanely extroverted to any other country. I don’t think any country in Europe has people as extroverted as Brazilians.
We’ve plenty of Brazilians in London in the UK and I have Brazilian friends amongst other Latino friends. They seem pretty normal to me, not particularly extroverted. Maybe the sun changes them?!
@@aldozilli1293 they probably adapted to english culture. I was in Brazil and saw how extroverted they are XD
I agree. I’m a introrveted brazilian and that’s why my boyfriend is american.
That’s kind of true. But there are introverted Brazilians also, but the country is like a hostile place for people like that, I mean , you go out and see crowds of people partying in the streets, Brazilians are always socializing in barbecues or parties , in the carnaval the whole country stops to celebrate it and if you not enjoy it’s like you dead.
1:16 Note: here in brazil, “gringos” means “any foreigner”, it doesn’t depend on whether you are latino or not
I think they only call white people gringos.
Exactly, even our hermanos from Argentina are gringos.
@@leticiaostibr what about African Americans?
@@flopunkt3665 gringos! 🙂
Exactly!! Argentina, Paraguai, Uruguai etc = Gringos!
At least they’re self aware 😂 they’re all like “yeah I’m jealous as hell”
All Latin Americans, passionate people, are jealous. That’s how we are.
And this jealousy gives them away as hypocrites, because they claim to be liberals, open about their sexuality. Women for example hate it when we tell them they are dressing scantily, but women are the first to criticize other women who are dressing scantily as well. And if another woman approaches an engaged man, no matter what she will tell the man, the woman the guy is engaged to instantly gets mad. 😂 Men also get mad when they see their girlfriends/wives hanging out with male “friends”, we don’t believe there’s such thing as someone being friends with someone from the opposite sex around here.
@@GeoSocraticTo tell the truth, no brazilian claims to be sexually open, just a few.
@@amiquigonzales7917I disagree, Im latino, outgoing asf, not cold at all with women.. and I dont have any jealousy in my dna, not a bit.
@@pagodebregaeforro2803 Good for you, but as you know, we are very passionate, caring and jealous people. You are an exception that proves the rule.
The thing about brazilians being too sexual.. not really just as much as the “west”, we didn’t had puritanism here ). And brazilians hate repression and hipocrisy. We are more liberal on that sense.. to me Americans as more sexual as Brazilians, the difference is that there is a light, fun and free aspect in Brazil that u can’t find in America and many other europeans countries
You are too much liberal…Be more conservative and commit to one person .Just try it…
I’m Brazilian and i’m not a liberal in any way, shape or form and i’m not the only one. And this growing lascivious culture are only doing us Brazilians harm. Divorce rates are increasing, a lot of children grow up without one of their parents and relationships are being treated as something disposable. There’s nothing to be proud about this growing “liberal” culture.
This is Rio not the whole country. Brazilians when they are in a relationship, we are serious. Because when we are single, we not serious at all
@fccpaixao As an American who lives in the city of Rio specifically, and has lived in other countries as well, I have some observations to share.
Similar to Brazil, depending on the city and region of the United States, there will be different general attitudes about different things.
I notice that many Brazilians often say Americans and Europeans are colder. I would agree Brazilians are, on average, more open, friendly, and passionate. But I also think being friendly and being true friends are different things (in my experience, many Brazilians are friendly to the point of dishonesty, for example casually inviting people to their home when they have no intention of that person really visiting or scheduling things and being costantly late or not showing up without warning). Obviously, this is not all Brazilians, but it is something not uncommon Brazil.
Also, being possessive and jealous is not seen as being passionate in the US, it is seen as being insecure and unstable.
Whereas Americans and Europeans are simply more private and personal, people on average respect the personal privacy of others, people on average respect other people’s time and life responsibities, which is why punctuality is much more prevalent in those societies, and people on average take their responsibilities very seriously, which is those countries have the the reputation for being efficient and organized.
If an American invites you to their home, it’s not something done just to appear friendly, it is a serious offer based on genuinely being fond of someone.
That is not coldness, that is simply having different valuesand saying what you mean.
About sexuality, I understand why Rio and Brazil has the reputation it does. Even in the basic marketing of these places. When people think of a New York or Paris or Los Angeles or London, people don’t think of images of half naked women dancing in parades or beaches where the majority of women are wearing thong bikinis.
Even in most beach cities in the world, this form of marketinf is not to that extreme.
Rio is essentially the most marketed city in Brazil internationally, and it’s marketing is based almost purely on sex appeal.
And because Rio is the “face” of brazil, it gives an impression to people who are not generally familiar with the country that it is sexually driven.
And to add to that, when tourists come to Brazil to its most marketed city, to its most marketed area, Copacabana, an average tourist will see young children on the street at midnight unaccompanied by an adult trying to earn money, they will see open air prostitution while the police stand by and watch, and almost everyone knows someone who has been robbed or assaulted and people will constantly tell them to keep their cell phones in their pockets, don’t place your cell phone on tables, etc. so sadly, that imagery reinforces the preconceptions many people have. It is obviously not the whole truth or all there is to see and experience, but it is an issue and a partial explanation for the perspectives some people have of Brazil.
@@davidelliott1594 As a Brazilian i agree and i’m glad you are saying the obvious, but some among us Brazilians simply don’t want to see or they try to rationalize some behavior patterns that not even we like that much like being late and not being honest in our relationship goals.
I would just like to add that despite Rio de Janeiro unfortunately representing the country as a whole internationally, even people from Rio they suffer with all this sexualized culture, which is imposed and normalized by the mainstream media. The main successful channel here is from Rio de Janeiro and they try to impose this sexualized culture in Rio de Janeiro and try to make us (in other parts of Brazil) think that what they portray in their biased news and tv shows is Brazil. Throughout the time, as generations come and go, people started to believe being Brazilian is this thing that we see in Rio. People in my state (Espírito Santo) unfortunately believes that the ideal of being Brazilian is the Carioca (people from Rio de Janeiro) style. Some people bought their ideas (from the mainstream media) to a point some people think it is normal to cheat on people, not being commited to people (whether friendship or relationship). That’s something revolting!
There are people across the country who try to disassociate their image from Rio de Janeiro like the southern states, but it is hard to fight the mainstream media narratives.
the guy in the yellow CBF shirt comparing himself to Michael B Jordan needs an ego check not gonna lie. It’s ok to be confident, but not delusional
well he said that other people compared him to Michael B Jordan, he wasn’t comparing himself
And they lied to him, cause he looks nothing like micheal b Jordan 😂
He meant that in a sense, Brazilian girls think he is just the average joe or even below average, but in his experience with foreign girls he felt like he is something more
Loved this Brazilian tour! 😍😍
I’m actually surprised with how good these Brazilian are with English
Hahahha it’s rare… normally around the tourist spots you’ll be able to find some…. But walk like 20 minutes from the beach… it’s a lot harder to find
Normally in Brazil the person who really is good in English don’t have strong accent
@@lisandrasilva3084 It is complicated, they did show their non-native accents for sure. Some being thicker than others, but their vocabulary and their ability to carry the conversation in English really surprised me. It’s not easy to find people with this level of fluency in Brazil. I hope the reporter didn’t have a hard time finding people to interview. 😅
Yes, it’s true. Actually, not even good at portuguese language they are. 😂😂😂😂
@@marcelo8442 ?
Brazilian girls are the sweetest ❤
And the most promiscous and unfaithful
@@asterinagenzo2179Most Brazilian women are not promiscuous and unfaithful.
@@asterinagenzo2179Promiscuous and unfaithful people exist everywhere in the world. And another thing is that brazilian women are not the most promiscuous and unfaithful.
@@asterinagenzo2179 not more than your mom.
@@asterinagenzo2179most promiscuous and unf4ithful are Europeans, this is static 🙂
One thing hard about Brazil is the amount of beautiful women.
Kkkk interessante o seu ponto
How could just go to Rio and get generalizations about a huge country??? 😂😂
Calma que semana que vem eles vão aí em xique-xique-Bahia te entrevistar
Ao mesmo tempo que concordei com quase tudo eu discordei de quase tudo que as mulheres do video falaram. 😂😂
Easy answer – you cannot. But you can open the door for making viewers curious enough to find out
What a good initiative you guys took in translating the video. Much appreciated! But be careful with the translation process, some words might look the same when we’re conjugating and they may have a complete different meaning. At 5:29 for example, it is translated as “vêm” for the word “to see” when it was supposed to be translated as “veem”. “Vêm” is third person in the plural form from the word “vir”, which means “to come”.
I HAVE lived in Brazil for 40 years. It’s a good country, but be very careful where you go and who you interact with.
That can be applied for many countries
You look sixteen.
True story
Mostly north-northeast and southeast
Unfortunately, we are scheemers
@@bfts8626 Don’t believe him. Simply don’t. He said he lieved in Brazil for 40 years. Look at his profile, he’s less than 20.
A mulher não é que não tratam como princesa, é por concorrência logo a mulher não pode ser chata, controladora, se ela mudasse o jeito não importa se está no Brasil ou não.
Lá fora só aguentam essa personalidade porque tem medo de perder e ficar sozinho.
Os mesmos homens que traem são os que todas ficam atrás, nem sei se namoram ou é ciúmes mas é óbvio para todos, se descobrir fica com outra e já tem outra, sendo honesto elas sabem e aceitam, não sei se acham difícil conseguir outro parecido.
Só sei que culpam a maioria pelo que a minoria faz ou tem como fazer o resto pra conseguir uma da trabalho.
Agora entre mulheres se ela não for mais de família fica difícil acreditar em qualquer coisa, normalmente se afastam da família para fazer coisas longe.
Outra coisa ruim é que usam RJ como métrica do Brasil e é só um pedaço pequeno.
In Brazil gringo means simply foreign. You can be from Japan or Nigeria, if you are not from Brazil you are a gringo.
Discordo, acho que é mais pra quem não é latino… não considero nossos hermanos gringos.
@@thalles3brnão estamos falando de você, a população geral usa a palavra gringo como sinônimo de estrangeiro.
Nope – not true – gringps are normally North Americans only. The others are foreigners.
@@u3u36 depende onde voce morar talvez? Eu so conhece gringos assim.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722mas na prática gringo é qualquer um que não seja brasileiro
The title should be “Do people from Rio/cariocas want to date a Brazilian or foreigner”
“gringos” are not “non-latinos” in Brazil. A gringo is a foreigner even if Latino.
not in my family -Gringos are white and from North America – we don´t use it for other nationalities, but maybe its a social status issue
I definitely prefer Brazilian girls over foreigners. It’s so boring to go through endless dates and all the rituals related to it only to have more serious physical contact. It’s really frustrating and time consuming.
At the end of the day if you make a connection with a person, regardless of age, culture, religion, race none of that matters. Love is love and if you are in love and happy with a person who is not from your particular nationality, ultimately that is what really matters.
But how different is the way Brazilian women judge men from the way Americans women do? Do women in Brazil still have any respect for their men
I love Brazil – I chose it as my other home, married with family, learned to talk Portuguese fluently, got a passport too – so thank you for sharing it, even if it is a limited perspective. But if it transports a positive vibe which is does, mission accomplished. Brazil is large and highly diverse with an amazing nature and wonderful people – mostly – very intense and it can be dangerous.
just a small correction… unlike other Latin American countries, in Brazil “gringo” means foreigner… it doesn’t matter where you are from, even if you are Latin American, if you are not Brazilian, you are a gringo. ..
