I agree. Need glasses Paris? Yesterday there were at least 7 white gymaholics below 25yr old. All of the past week at 117, the black guys weren't more than the 15% of the total, with the remaining part equally split between whites and mulattos. Same thing the third week of Feb, same as the last of Jan, same of the last of Nov 2017....and so on. BTW... Socioeconômicas haven't changed. There are guys who come to 117 to buy food and keep the family together. There are guys who come to buy things like iPhone X and other expensive imported products. (usually the black ones on 117 fall in the 1st cat.)

not sure where you were looking in 117 but i know at least a 1/2 Dozen that work there regularly! for sure every Tues night and usually Sundays as well, 2 are Dirty blonde color, 2 lighter blondes and two that are brownish blonde. One thing about 117 is you can find Black/brown/white and everything in between(except Asians) although back in 2002 at Estacio there was a 1/2 Japanese 1/2 Brazilian Indian that looked like a 100% japanese except for darker skin, and had was of the biggest thickest dicks i ever saw!!

Just some facts about socioeconomics and reasons why guys go to saunas. Minimum wage in Brasil is around R$1000... 250 euro An iPhone X base price is R$7999....2000 euro. You can assess the reason why guys stay in saunas to fuck you, just by looking at the smartphone they have.

They had visited Franco’s basilica and commented that Brazil needed a military junta again to whip the country into shape. I was taken aback.

simple english for those of us lower on the evolutionary ladder please!! :-)

Indeed Southern Brazil is whiter, however I would take very cautiously any statistic on ethnicity coming from Brazil and the South Cone. Because of our specific racist culture, Whites tend to be over represented by national censuses and other data sources. The case is not the data being manipulated, our local racism has much deeper roots. Most people who are mestizo or mulato but look White enough, will self-identify as White.

I thought I knew Brazil rather well. The only Rogers I knew was in Copacabana. Was there another one in Ipanema I totally missed?

Of course you mean blood, tartegogo, because one drop of my panties is also not a rule I could follow there.

I think @parisrio2000 needs to clarify his question before we can answer it. To my eyes, 80% of the guys in Rio saunas qualify as ‘mostly white’ or just ‘white’ (if I was forced to describe their skin color, I really don’t care about the label). (I am not American, and for me the one drop rule is just stupid). So what do you mean by white, parisrii2000? Dyed-white-haired guys? Really white skin guys from Scandinavia or Germany? Do those with Italian ancestry count?

Southern Brazil, which includes the city of Porto Alegre and its larger state of.Rio Grande do Sul is predominantly “white” — as in European-descendent and European-looking men and women. The census states that PA is 79.2% white, and the state of Rio Grande do Sul is 81% white. That should tell you all you need to know. ”According to a genetic study from 2013, Brazilians in Rio Grande do Sul have an average of 73% European, 14% African and 13% Amerindian ancestry, respectively.”

Blacks are rare at 202 (some nights none), and there are quite a few whites. At Lagoa, some nights, whites are a majority and Asians, surprisingly, only one or none, despite SP having the biggest Japanese population outside Japan. Maybe by whites you are meaning Scandinavians, yes, they are far and between. The observation of Likeohmygod that garotos work at the saunas with complete disparate finalities is right on the mark and is a significant contribution to understand the boys themselves and help patrons deal appropriately with widely different aspirations, when most contributors of this forum tend to generalize everything believing that's the way to go when in a foreign country/culture. A landmark!

If Then And if then I understood that everything is the same as before and as before I felt useless I have never thought if the habit It is a nice place to find me But without us I still that strange urge to feel lonely without us but not by now if only to see you leave again And if ever I tried you would fear and fear is always that to win And you can not pretend nothing has changed after I ripped the heart away from you But without us I still that strange urge to feel lonely without us but not by now if only to see you leave again Without us I still the urge to run away alone but without us who flies? are only wings and feathers and nothing else again sure that is priceless time spent together walking between this world and another to find the universe suitable to our space every day closer to contain the dreams all inside a drawer and that's why I run I remember now and run I just really want to feel alive now But without us I still that strange urge to feel lonely without us not now if only to see me leave again sure that is priceless time spent together walking between this world and another to find the universe suitable to our space every day closer to contain the dreams all inside a drawer and that's why I run I remember now and run of course that is priceless time It remains to me a little bit on me ..

@Larstrup P.S. I am now also still an atheist. Can you grok both, together? 'Adonai, Adonai, how hast Thou forsaken me?' And so much more. To be clear, all positive, not negative.

I think it is about how, where, and whether to critique, not just about positive versus negative tone prerogative/rights Rotten Tomatoes is a good comparator. Hired reviewers and often amateur commentators comment on a film. The composite yields an emoji ranging from a superlative tomato, ripe tomato, to splattered green tomato. But reviews are simply out there ... not "Dear Ms Gerwig, direction props to you ... not Hey, "Mr Ivory, you took too much screenwriting license altering Aciman's novel ... me no likey". There is plenty of option to weigh in on most BT topics. For example, you can opine "that film was lacklustre in plotline", "that book was too long", "that sauna sucks big time". But person-to-person, as lopsided and contrary to freedom of expression as it may seem, we are called on to bite our tongue and restrict feedback to feel-good emojis or a positive comment. A personalized negative commentary simply does not get well-absorbed even if seemingly buried within a larger quantity of positives. Etiquette trumps rights. The overarching principle is not freedom of speech, "x" amendment rights. It is self-reflection and manners. Do not count on readers to read between the lines and soften your expression for you, even if you did not intend to come across as harsh. The current example reflected that the commentor's attention span, patience, and literary style preference did not match up well with the OP's narrative, though it worked for others. Nothing wrong with that. It simply necessitated cultivating self-awareness and exercising good judgment about how to express the reality. I certainly myself have to try to finesse this better. I too struggle with whether to take the rap versus getting into a bit of a pissing contest. But look how much time and effort was spent in the aftermath, all that attention span time resource diverted from the OP's quadrilogy!

I am quite grieving. I didn't realize how much I loved him.
