Brazilian Mail Order Brides: Interview with Brazilian Woman for Marriage

Brazilian girls are just fantastic. They are gorgeous, very passionate, hot, emotional, feminine, and they make great wives – so it’s obvious why Brazilian wives are so popular among American men. Here, we’ll tell you all the truth about Brazilian mail order brides – we’ll tell you how to meet them, how much it really costs, and how to bring your Brazilian wife to the US.

That’s not all. Gabrielle, our interviewee from Brazil, will tell you some really interesting insights and facts about Brazilian brides – from a perspective of a real Brazilian bride!

Interview with Gabrielle – a Brazilian mail order bride

Who are you?

My name is Gabriella, I’m 22 years old, and I’m from Rio. I work as a model – mostly fashion modeling, I even worked with some popular Brazilian lingerie and swimsuit brands. And, well, I’m extremely attracted to men from the United States – so you can call me a Brazilian mail order bride, I guess.

Why did you become a mail order bride?

Because of American men and because of how they date Brazilian girls. I had a boyfriend from Chicago, he was a fashion photographer, and he was just great. Caring, loving, fun, smart… It didn’t work out between us, unfortunately, but because of him, I understood I would never date a guy from my country or from Latin America. That’s why i signed up on a Brazilian brides website.

How did you choose the dating site?

I signed up on a forum for Brazilian wives and asked them, then I tried 3 sites they recommended, and I stopped at Lovefort. I didn’t read any reviews, I just tried 3 dating websites and chose the one I liked most, that’s all.

Why do you want a foreign husband?

Because I don’t want a Brazilian husband. I really, really don’t want to offend our local men, but they are too “macho” – they try to look and act more masculine than they really are, and it’s just ridiculous. Do you know that the more girls you had, the more “macho” you are in Brazil? I don’t like it, sorry. I want a respectful man who will treat me as an equal, I want a man whose masculinity won’t be questioned if he tells me nice things, I want a man who will not want me to be a stay at home mother of 3 kids. That’s why I want an American man.

Have you already communicated with Western men on dating sites?

Nope, not yet! I chatted with several guys, yes, but I haven’t met any of them in person yet. It’s mostly a small talk, we chat about the weather, about work, all that. Nothing serious yet, so I’m open to something new – especially if you have really serious intentions!

People often worry about  scams and fakes on dating sites. Is using mail order bride sites safe in your opinion?

I’m not sure because I’ve been only using a Brazilian bride website for 2 months now. I read some articles about international dating scene and about romance scammers so I know how to not get scammed online. It’s all about sharing your credit card details, personal email, or Paypal password, as far as I know – if you don’t reveal such information, you’re ok.

Gabrielle, can you help singles from the US understand Brazilian women better? Give advice to men on how to attract a Brazilian woman, please.

There are tens of thousands of Brazilian brides on dating sites – obviously, not all of them want the same things. But here are the three pieces of advice that might help you with most Brazilian women.

First, don’t try to look more “manly” than you are. You don’t need to be tough and stoic 24/7, it’s ok to feel things, and it’s ok to take care of yourself and of your girlfriend. We already live in a country of Toxic Masculinity – we don’t need more.

Second, don’t think Brazilian women are “easy”. We are not easy and we are not looking for a one-night stand. Yes, you can easily find a Brazilian girl to spend a night with – but not on a website where most women searching for serious relationships.

And third, don’t be boring! Brazilian women are really fun, out-going, and active. We always want to experience new things, we love it when a man has a sense of humour, we were not created for sitting at home and watching Netflix. Be creative and you’ll get any Brazilian bride!

Editor’s Notes

Gabriella is just gorgeous, really. She is a great example of a hot Brazilian mail order bride – and it’s not just about her appearance, it’s also about her energy and passion. Let’s conclude:

• Brazilian women want to meet Americans because American men are not trying to be “macho” like Brazilian men
• Brazilian women usually want serious relationships with foreign guys
• You should not think that a Brazilian girl you’re chatting with is “easy”
• You should be fun and creative to impress a Brazilian woman

That’s not all you should know about dating Brazilian girls, of course. Let’s continue – there is much more useful information to consider before you start meeting Brazilian brides here.

Facts about marriages with Brazilian mail order brides

• Brazilian women tend to get married quite early – the average age at first marriage for Brazilian brides is around 24 years old. That’s a very typical indicator for South America – women in such countries as Argentina, Uruguay, and Colombia get married in 23-25 years old, too.
• However, women from this country usually don’t want to have children right after the wedding. The mean age of childbearing in Brazil is 27 years old – it’s slowly falling (the mean age of childbearing was 29.6 years old in 1975), but it looks like Brazilian women still want to get a career before having a child.
• Brazil has one of the highest divorce rates in South America – it’s 1.4 divorces per 1,000 population while in most Latin countries, this rate is around 0.7-1 divorces per 1,000 population. This might be related to the fact divorce is not considered taboo in Brazil, so women in this country don’t feel so much pressure when it comes to ending their marriages.
• While some stereotypes about Brazilian brides are true (for example, the ones about their beauty and passion), the others are not. One of the wrong ones is a stereotype about Brazilian ladies who want to have a lot of children. In reality, the total fertility rate in Brazil is the same as in the United States (1.7 births per woman).

How much does a Brazilian bride cost?

You can not buy a Brazilian woman, of course. But dating a Brazilian mail order wife isn’t that cheap – you’ll need to buy tickets to and from Brazil, to pay for a hotel room, for food, transportation, for a visa if you’re going to bring your Brazilian wife to the US, etc, etc. Let’s talk about Latin dating sites first.

Most mail order brides websites are not free to use. Most of them have a credit system while some online dating platforms have a premium subscription system. A “credit system” means, in short, that you’ll have to buy credits to exchange them for various features and services. A “premium subscription system” works like any other premium subscription: you pay for a monthly subscription and use the site without any limits.

The online dating sites with a premium subscription system usually cost around $50-$80 per month while the mail order brides services with a credit system might cost you $50-$100. However, you can save money with the sites that fall to the second group by limiting certain communication features and by sticking to live text chat instead of voice calls/video chat.

As for a real-life meeting – here’s how much a 2-week trip to Brazil will cost.

• Tickets – $700-$1,400 (round trip)
• Hotel room – $500-$1,000 (2 weeks)
• Transportation (taxis, buses) – $150 (2 weeks)
• Transportation (intercity buses, trains) – $60 per day
• Food – $250 (2 weeks)
• Entertainment – $350 (2 weeks)
• If you’re going to bring your Brazilian mail order wife to the US, you’ll also need to pay for a K-1 visa – it costs $2,200.

Step-by-step guide on how to get Brazilian mail order bride

Meeting Brazilian brides is quite easy – thanks to online dating, you don’t need to go to Rio de Janeiro and try to approach Brazilian chicks there. Here’s what you need to do to meet real Brazilian beauties online.

• Choose a dating website. It’s very important to choose a reputable website because if you choose a site with poor reputation, you will probably not meet any real Brazilian ladies on it. Read all the reviews and test the sites yourself!
• Create a profile. Typically, there are more Brazilian mail order wives than Western men on these sites, but this doesn’t mean you can skip this step. You still need to stand out of the crowd of foreign men to attract Brazil mail order wives – so your profile must be catchy and cool. Pictures are very important, too!
• Start chatting with Brazil ladies. Be aware that you can’t chat with hundreds of local women on the sites with a credit system unless you’re going to spend a few thousands of bucks on it. That’s why we recommend you choose 3-5 Brazilian singles and chat with them.
• Meet these gorgeous ladies in person! You don’t have to chat with them for months – most Brazilian women for marriage you’ll meet online want to have a real relationship, not a long-distance fling.

Is using MOB sites to find and date women legit?

Yes. Thousands of American men meet Brazilian women every year, hundreds of Brazilian women for marriage get married to their foreign husbands every year – it’s 100% legal and lawful to meet and marry women from Brazil. You can take your bride to the United States lawfully, too – it will take around 8-12 months to get a K-1 visa (it costs $2,200). Once she arrives and you marry her, she’ll get a Green card. In 3 years after the wedding, she’ll become a US citizen – it’s 100% legal, too.

How to bring a Brazilian wife to the USA?

Dating Brazilian women is simple and fast – you only need to sign up for a dating site to start chatting with a beautiful Brazilian lady. Bringing that lady to your country is not that simple and definitely not that fast – getting a K-1 visa might take up to 12 months. Here’s a short guide on getting your Brazilian bride to the US:

1. First, make sure you meet all the requirements for a K-1 visa. You must be a US citizen (not a permanent resident), you two must be eligible to marry, your relationship must be proved with evidence, and you must have met at least once within 2 years prior to applying for a visa.
2. You’ll have to file Form I-129F first and to wait until it’s proceeded by USCIS (6-9 months).
3. Then, your bride will file form DS-160 – it’s the actual visa application.
4. After that, your bride will need to attend her visa interview – the officer who conducts the interview will ask her questions about your relationship to make sure it’s genuine and real.
5. When it’s done, your bride will get a sealed K-1 visa packet (which must not be opened) – this means she can enter the US and you can marry her within 90 days of her arrival.

How to avoid Brazilian mail order bride scam? 

Romance scam is a huge problem when it comes to online dating. It’s not about Brazilian brides, Ukrainian brides, or Filipino brides – the scammers don’t care about the country, they just use these sites to steal money from Americans who want to find love.

But the good news is that you shouldn’t worry about it. The following steps are simple and probably even obvious – but if you follow them, you will not get scammed on a dating site.

1. Be aware of the red flags. If a woman you met on a dating site wants you to send her money, it’s a red flag. If you google her photo and see a lot of profiles on various dating websites, it’s a red flag, too. These are the most common warning signs – if you see any of them, the only thing you need to do is report the profile to the website’s customer support team.
2. Phone calls and video chats are your best friends when it comes to international online dating. Set up a video chat early – that’s the best method to spot a fake profile. If a woman you’re chatting with doesn’t want to have a video call, it’s certainly a red flag.
3. Don’t share financial information. Never share your credit card number and CVC/CVV code or your Paypal account to strangers on dating sites because if you do, you’ll probably get some bad news in the nearest future.
