Brazil best for dating and making friends in LatAm?

If you guys could live anywhere in the world, where would you go if you were in 30s or older and only want to date attractive women in their early/mid 20s (preferably the hot fitness/yoga girls, not just getting easy lays with ugly fat or mediocre girls)? Also a nice plus to live somewhere where it's easy to make friends and people are nonjudgmental in general. Also, since I keep getting minimal matches on bumble and tinder despite getting new phone, number, pics, etc, despite getting matches on hinge, I'm looking for a city with a lot of users on hinge

I've heard Medellin and Warsaw and maybe Bangkok are getting flooded with too many passport bros and PUAs. Seemed like the attractive girls in Medellin were mostly at El Tesoro and unattainable without very good Spanish due to foreigners having low status.

Bogota didn't have good weather and living conditions and people aren't that sociable, but attractive girls seemed more attainable than medellin. I've heard Mexico city has too many foreigners and women aren't great

What about Rio, Sao Paulo, florianopolis in Brazil? It's possible to date the attractive women there like in Bogota, or it's very difficult like in Medellin? I heard there's a lot of competition due to many Brazilian guys being big and jacked. I'm better off in Bogota or elsewhere such as Lima since I at least know some Spanish but don't know any Portuguese?

Or is NYC the best despite the high competition and stigma against age gaps in the US?

On the competition with jacked bros - yes, Rio is full of them. Every second person here seems to work out, and the gyms are always crowded. What do you have to show for yourself though? Do you look exotic? That could be a deal-breaker.

Speaking Portuguese will help, but is not decisive. You can do a lot with Spanish and translator apps here.

Id add bali to the list of places getting flooded with puas my wing waa there recently.
Living in a place vs doing a month iw a different story.
Id personally test out each place for one month. If you like stay longer.
You cant really know which place of for you unless you experience it regardless of what others tell you but from experience Floripa is definitely not an app place. Its a cold approach place. Mainly beach or nightlife
Depends how you like your women.
You like em slim n white youl prob prefer warsaw. You like mixed and thicc. Rio might be for you.
Warsaw obviously won't have a beach. Do you care?
Weather wise brazil will win unless you don't mind polish winters gaming in the mall.
More women in Poland are gonna speak English than Brazil.
Can you do both?
Can you live in warsaw april til oct then brazil Oct to march?
That could be an option
If you've not been to these places its hard to say.
My advice test each for one month youl see which you prefer or maybe like all.
I couldn't decide a place to live without visiting first.
Id you love could get a 6month lease
But If you rely on apps id avoid medellin. They hunt gringos on there.
Kidnapping can also happen in brazil so meet at public place that's busy. Don't meet late at night where she says. If she meets you in a car Don't get in her car. I know a guy who did this and 3 guys came to smash his face in.
This won't happen in poland
If you can afford security guard with you might be worth paying from places in brazil Colombia

Well it's an interesting question and Brazil is a phenomenal country and culture.. basically anywhere in Brazil has a ton of beautiful women, the issue is the language barrier. also the Hinge requirement probably reduces your options to just the mega cities like Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo..

I'd probably add Buenos Aires to the list to consider.. huge mega city, a lot of beautiful women.. it's not easy, but if you wanted to date younger women who are very attractive and put in some effort.. Buenos Aires is good cause at least it's Spanish-speaking (not Portuguese like Brazil)..

in Brazil if you're gonna go and speak English only, then you're basically gotta do Rio and stay in the touristy area.

I would make the argument also that Medellin still comes in towards the top of this list, just simply because if you're optimizing for hot women in their 20s who would date a guy in his 30s and 40s.. if you could not drink with Tinder girls and reduce the risk of getting drugged and robbed.. Medellin is still strong for overall lifestyle quality. and if you do a little Daygame, and you wanna build a social circle.. Medellin comes in strong because there's a huge digital nomad presence, it's easy to meet women, and it's lower cost than anywhere in Brazil.

You mentioned Florianopolis, which if you haven't been there, I find it's one of the most frustrating logistics cities as far as how it's la I had a out because the beaches are all 30 minutes from the center and the beaches are like little beach areas and there's nothing to really do besides the beach in those areas, so if you live near the beach = you're 30 minutes from all the malls and everything. and if you live near the malls and everything = you're 30 minutes from the Beach. Good thing about Florianopolis is there's there's zero foreigners, so that is cool, but it's it's quite a smaller city. if you look at the population, I would treat it like a small to medium city. it's not really a big city so the hinge requirement would fail there, and going to the mall it's a lower volume environment, so you gotta consider that .

Also another factor is how much time would you dedicate to a city, and if you're willing to learn conversational Portuguese.. then Brazil offers a wider list of cities to consider.. Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Goiania, etc

From what I've heard Argentina and Buenos aires aren't easy at all. I don't see any advantages it has over Bogota other than apparently hinge works there but not in Colombia

I got some time before I visit Brazil so I'm willing to learn some Portuguese before I go. It's just the time and effort it'll take me to get to beginner very basic conversational level is time and effort I could use for Spanish instead and improve from my existing level which is probably around beginner very basic conversational to advanced-brginner/low-intermediate? And learning Spanish could be good for cdmx as I tested my hinge there and got some acceptable matches

Yes Medellin did seem good for building a social circle and making friends, more so than Bogota. And during my time there I never felt in danger as I just daygamed and avoided the apps. But hinge not working there is a big disadvantage as it's the only apps getting me dates

Good point about low population in Floripa for hinge. In that case if I go to Brazil I'll probably have to stick only to Sao paulo
