It is now time for you to see what Brazil has to offer you when it comes to the men department. We have all heard of `Latin Lovers,` but what does that mean exactly? Here are the answers to questions you ever had about Brazilian men and where to meet them.

Brazilian women usually meet men through mutual friends. So, get out there and make some Brazilian friends. You never know who they  could introduce you to. Brazilians are open, friendly and helpful people, and when it comes to conversation, Locals have no shame. So,  exchange phone numbers or emails and make plans to meet again.

In Brazil, the men are very fond of public affection and are expert romantics. So, grab a caipirinha and ask someone to teach you to dance the Samba or Forró. Get ready to be close, because the Brazilians will have it no other way when it comes to dancing.

The men will tell you how beautiful you are, or for that matter, that you are the most beautiful woman they have ever seen!  

Don’t be surprised if you are lip-locked within the first 5 minutes of your conversation and be prepared about the motels. Remember that in Brazil, motels are for one thing, and one thing only. Sex! You have the power to accept the proposal or not, but just know what you are  agreeing to.

No matter which type you choose, the important thing is to have fun and don’t go falling in love on the first night!

When you are trying to relax on the beach, you are sure to be approached by at least one of the types, most likely, the Hippie. These docile men, will try to sell you a necklace or maybe even make you a free ring that costs less than 50 cents. But, it’s the thought that counts right?

If you are in a bar or club, a man may even send over his friend to tell you he thinks you are cute or send a note! This may sound juvenile to you, but it is considered normal here in Brazil.

Don’t feel obligated to speak to every man who comes your way. If the men think that you are easy, you will be batting them away the whole evening which can get quite annoying.

Dos and Don’ts

Here are a few dos and don’ts that should help you along.

• Don’t hesitate to accept the offer of a kiss from any man who strikes your fancy.

• Do come armed with a pen and paper to ensure you will be able to pass out your phone number and email address, but don’t expect them to call the next day.

• Do keep a positive attitude and play it cool when the annoying guy at the end of the bar won’t take a hint and give up.

• Do ask a cute Salvadorian to show you around their beautiful city.

• Don’t believe them when they tell you that you are the women of their dreams no matter how much you want to.

• Don’t be surprised if you go to the motel and your man pays for it by the hour.

• Do contact the author if you are looking for a nice, caring, gentle latin lover. Major credit cards accepted. Joke.

Brazil is full of these beautiful, tan, athletic ´eye candy` and they come in 4 different flavors. Reminder: These are gross generalizations and should not be taken too seriously.

The Tourist It happens on every vacation: you meet someone from your own neighbourhood. Should you waste your precious time on someone from your own back yard? Well, if they have the same tour goals as you, why not? You can take a schooner tour the next day,  share cabs and maybe a room in Morro de Sao Paulo! Rrrrrr!

The Beer Poser He’s tanned, he’s got big  lips, a beer is always in  his hand and he’s  looking at you. Now he may not  be the sexiest thing in the  world, and you may not be impressed by the arrocha music blasting out his car  speaker, but he can sure  make out, dance and the rest.

The Dancer He can dance  to any type of  music, thanks to  his african roots.  And if they can dance well, they  can do other moves just as well. Should you dance with him? Of course! You are in Bahia, and you can be an observer or you can experience.

The Playboy Last, but no least, we  have the Playboy who can also be found at  the trendy nightlife scene. They prefers talking about money and women, and how to get  more of either! These are the eligible bachelors and ultimate players. They know what we want, and they have the ability to give it to  us.
