Villa Romana Shopping (previously known as Shopping Iguatemi) is a great large mall, but quiet in daytime during the week. In Northern Brazil, you’re lucky if you can find one hot girl to approach per day, since the girls are less hot than the South. But at least, in Floripa you can relatively easily do one approach a day. There aren’t nearly as many hot girls outside as in Curitiba. Bring good game, as well as some portuguese knowledge (ideally). But otherwise, pulling isn’t easy peasy in Florianopolis. People are friendly since it’s a holiday city. In Summer, when it’s pumping with tourists and regular nightlife, it’s much easier. What further adds to this problem, is that nightlife is mostly shut due to the scamdemic. Currently in Autumn, it’s too quiet to get with the hottest girls.
In Floripa, if you’re a tourist outside of high season, you should lower your standards a little to get some action. Similar to Argentina, women like to be chased in Floripa, instead of simply hooking up left and right. But if you want to practice game and sharpen your skillset at a higher difficulty level, then stick to the South of Brazil. In the South, you get more of those “hard-to-get” vibes. If you want uninhibited girls, and game at easy mode, go North to Manuas, Belem, Fortaleza, Natal, etc. So it is wrong to say that all Brazilian girls are “easy”, or that you don’t need game in Brazil. Unless you’re only dating other tourists, there is less of a hook-up culture. With regards to the conservative local girls, the most attractive girls will often get married and have kids, thus exiting the dating market. This applies especially to girls who are originally from other states in Brazil – similar to you, they’re also semi-“outsiders”. Since it’s a warm beach city, the people tend to be warmer than inland.
Another decent-looking hired gun was pushing me for a long conversation at her shop, hoping I’d ask her number. I had a local girl recently try her luck and open me at the supermarket. Nevertheless, since it’s a coastal holiday city, the women are reasonably friendly even if you get turned down. This applies especially to the local girls. Their personalities tend to be more reserved, typical of the South of the Brazil. So it’s fair enough to call Florianopolis women, mostly “white”.
While, in Salvador, black drivers are the norm, in Maceio brown guys, etc. For example, in Floripa I often got white drivers, with German and Italian resemblance. Nevertheless, ride-sharing apps like 99Taxi is often very telling of the general population demographics. This usually means they have some European ancestry, but this is often combined with indigenous Brazilian genes. Most people in Florianopolis identify as white (80%).
