... in response to Re: Re: What Brazilian Women Want, posted by Brazilophile on Aug 22, 2005"Do they ask you for specific information about men, such as who is well off and who isn't?"
This question has never been asked. Those that seek a wealthy man can directly find out on their own by asking basic questions of what he does, where he lives and what activities he partakes in without asking us.
"Do they ask which men argue over centavos and which don't?"
"Centavos" (cents), any new woman that calls you cheap should be avoided. I have heard of women refer to some men as cheap. And I think, here we have a woman with no job and for the most part has done nothing productive her whole life judging what someone else should be spending on them when they don’t have the capability to do the equivalent for others or themselves. Just recently I had a client give his girl friend $100,000 pesos ($45 dollar) for her daughter’s birthday party. This woman referred to him as being cheap. The way I look at it this $100.000 pesos is $100.000 pesos more then anyone else is giving her. She is ungrateful and shows a lack of character. Such feelings of entitlement are not a positive indicator for the future. Any woman that has such concerns over arguments over centavos does not deserve your time.
"What do the women in your agency want?
"
Like all of us happiness. To specifically respond to your post:
"The single most important piece of information a woman wants to know about a man is how much money he makes. He must make enough money to support a family."
The vast majority of foreign women have no idea what a particular income reflects from a foreign country or how other indicator come into play. I have never heard of a Colombian woman asking such a question. The amount of money to support a family can be very low almost anyone can support a family if they live within their means. So reason number one does not narrow many men out of the picture; however a woman that has this as her number one thought has set a gauge of what would be considered acceptable support that probably goes beyond standard support otherwise such a concern would not come up. I would advice men to stay away from such a woman.
"Second most important is how he earns his money. Most Brazilian women want nothing to do with a foreign man who earns his money in questionable ways."
I will assume you mean illegally this would apply to very few men and to be of second importance seems strange. I would find it very concerning that no where does your fiancé mention, love, affection, respect, values and hundreds of other more critical aspects of a healthy marriage.
"Third is how controlling a man is with his money, ie. whether or not he shares it unstingily with his wife."
This does not tell us anything accept that money is your fiancés top 3 concerns, which is very telling. For some women a $30 pair of jeans is great to others a $200 pair would not be good enough. For some women 10 pairs of jeans in the closet are plenty for others its how many they want to buy each month. I would not recommend men consider women that like to judge based on how others spend money on them. Financial spending, contribution and planning should be brought up prior to any marriage.
"Not fourth but still important is how much a man drinks and whether he uses drugs. Most Brazilian women want to avoid men who drink heavily. I hadn't realized this before but there is a completely different attitude towards drugs there compared to here. In NA and Europe some drugs, like marijuana, are not considered a big deal to use. Most Brazilian women see smoking marijuana as equivalent to shooting heroin. Drug use is drug use, period. Decent women will drop a man in a millisecond if he uses ANY illegal drug."
I have not found Colombian women to have high intolerance to marijuana users. Associating all illegal drugs as equally bad shows a lack of knowledge as it is to associate all users as addictive or destructive.
"Also important is sex, specifically, a man's sex drive and sexual desires. In Brazil, men from NA and Europe have a reputation for liking "kinky" sex or an excessive amount of sex. My fiancee says that it is not that they are unwilling to accomodate a man, but that they want to know exactly what they are getting into BEFORE they marry or travel to his country."
“Kinky” I wonder where this comes from, sounds like one of Heat's homemade videos is making its rounds in Brazil 
Any woman who just wants to "accommodate" their man’s sexual pleasure should be avoided. Seek women that have the same desires. Having an equivalent sex drive with your partner is important, but women in loving relationships normally want to do most anything to please their man as long as the favor is returned. They don’t wonder if he may be kinky.
"There is particular fear about being forced into sex slavery, as such cases have been, and still are, widely publicized in Brazil."
Such fears only come from uninformed women, stay away from ignorant women that can’t use common sense for determining if such risk is present.
"Another important issue is a man's dressing and grooming habits. NA and European men, the Europeans more so I think, also have a reputation for dressing badly and not bathing frequently enough. Brazilian womn have a strong preference for well-groomed, nice smelling men."
All women want this.
"I then asked my fiancee whether women are willing to trade off one trait for another, such as less nice dressing for more money. Or will they refuse to marry a man who only showers once a week despite his earning a good salary? Again she became very serious and asked me if I wanted to hear the truth. Of course! A Brazilian woman will ALWAYS marry a foreign man with enough money."
I would doubt most women think like this. Any woman who temporarily makes such arrangements is again a woman that lacks good character. Most people who have bad character believe their thinking is the norm they rationalize that most others are like them. Bad people generally associate with other bad people for who else will have them, so in this small world they inflate their bad value as being broader than reality.
"BUT if he is stingy, if he always smells bad, if the sex is bad, etc., she will ALWAYS divorce him AFTER getting her permanent residency!"
One should know all this prior to marriage there should be no such surprise.
"On the other hand, if he is generous, dresses well, smells good, has a good personality, the sex is good, etc., then she will STAY married to him!"
Not one word referencing love and feelings on her importance list.
"So, whether a Brazilian woman is a Green Card shark or not depends less on her character and more on us and our lifestyle!"
This is just an excuse for someone with bad character a blame for their bad intentions.
"If we offer more than just material benefits then we get a permanent wife. Whereas if we offer ONLY material benefits then we get a shark!"
One could just as easily conclude from what you have told us that if you do not provide enough material benefits you will get a shark.
