Thanks a ton Benijo for expanding the discussion with a good, descriptive report.
so many places and women ... so little time.
You have plenty of time = Prioritization
Most men in SP stay in the Jardins area and rarely explore other areas for fears of personal safety.
That said, SP is a huge city I find it quite hard to generalize since the economy varies from area to area. The more affluent a woman's family is, the less interested she is in leaving her country because its likely she could afford to do so on her own.
By and large women are looking to increase their buying power. Don't let that sour you on finding a wife, its just reality. Women are taught early to look for the ideal situation to have children. If its a local who makes R1000 a month or a Gringo that has R1000 on his debt card, who/where your from largely doesn't matter. Yes on some level women want locals because they understand the language, the culture and you don't!
Close that gap and you're IN.
