Portuguese Men

.......

I have spent a lot of time in Portugal, and I can say without hesitation that while the Portuguese are among the nicest people I have ever met, they are also among the least attractive. The only goodlooking men I saw were in photos in hairdressers' windows. Except for some typical teenage hotties, all the women were very overweight and very plain.

Portuguese are very sweet, and nearly all under 50 speak English. While some are handsome, they are not hot like the Spanish, who ooze sexiness.

R3 I agree and was about to write the same thing. Portugese guys can be hot but Spanish are full of heat and sexuality

If the Portugese-Americans around here are any indication, they're all short and tend to chunk up at an early age.

....

Well, I really liked this Portuguese-American (Troy at Sean Cody).

There was an episode of Two Fat Ladies where they went to Gurnsey to cook for Portuguese farmers. One of the farmers had the greatest ass I have ever seen and I've been curious about them ever since.

I hooked up with a Portuguese American guy years ago - rough sex...no tenderness. Hot bear body though.

I'm one of those short hairy Portuguese men who've chunked up around 50.

I've also got $2 mill in net worth and am accepting applications for short hairy bottom cubs.

You'll be a Portugeezer some day.

There are some hot ones on Cam4. Not sure about the height thing, but dark and handsome. Take a gander.

The North African blood makes them look so exotic.

Don't mention that to them, whatever you do.

Does a Portugese-Mexican count? He was glorious!

Are we to assume that OP is so hot and desirable, he can choose anyone he desires?

Unlike the homely, fat men in their 60's and 70's that make up the majority of DL?

Exhibit A: Devin Nunes.

Your honor, the prosecution rests its case.

Portugee.

I have spent some time in Portugal and yes, the young men can be stunning. But dear fucking God do they hit a wall somewhere around 40.

My x is Port-American. 6ft, hairy, muscular, decent thick cock, and fucked like a mad pig. Not tender. Emotionally insane. Bipolar, unmedicated, hooked on weed. Good sense of humor. But too many emotional problems for me to handle.

He is still handsome at 48.

Could I get his number, R49?

On the short side and cute enough while young.

Attracts many tourists. Traveling around the country (which is beautiful) you soon realize that the best looking Portuguese are not.

Surprised this video is still up. They're normally good at getting their old Chaturbate videos scrubbed from the web.

So basically they all look like John Belushi?

j

R20, I would but he is currently straight, ffs, and inflicting is madness on a woman.

Is the woman named Madonna?

And yet Brazilians are so hot.

R22 who are they?

What about the men from Uruguay? Are they hot? Any size meat verificatiapunte del este?

I follow this gay guy on Instagram. He's Brazilian but I've always thought he's like the Platonic Idea of Portuguese men when it comes in his looks. His mom, also below, is the same for older Portuguese women.

The Platonic Idea?

r30 Prototype. Platonic Ideas are supposed to be prototypes.

R30, go back to school and take a course in the history of philosophy, NOW!

[quote]The Platonic Idea?

It means you're like Mickey Mouse's dog.

The Algarve is lovely, OP. The uniformly white houses with red roofs and blue pools are a dream.

Portugal has some of the most handsome men I've ever seen - I think it was their dark hair and beards (almost every male there seems to have one) that won me over. And yes, men are ridiculously short - I'd say the average male height is around 173 cm, but I'm short too so I didn't mind that.

The only thing that sucks about them is their lousy English (did we visit the same country, R3?) and their obsession with tattoos. You rarely see a guy under 30 without any visible tattoos on the streets. Those horrid calf tattoos seem to be especially popular.

[R35] i just visited this summer (Lisbon, Porto, Duoro Valley). According to my tour guides, children are taught English as a second language from elementary through high school. This requirement has been in place for 30 years. So yes, their English is so much better than the French, Italians, or Spanish.

So true about the tattoos, for men and women alike. The men don't look too bad, but on the young women it looks god-awful. Lots of sleeve tattoos, calf tattoos.

Maybe the nicest, warmest, friendliest people in Western Europe. Yes, the men are pocket-sized but very cute and not as big Mama's boys as the Italians.

Portuguese students are the most proficient in English in Southern Europe. They're still not as good as Northern Europeans.

R2, beat me too it.

I’ve been in the south, the north and the interior as well as lisboa, the Portuguese are some of the sweetest and kindest people as a whole, but they are not attractive, especially the men.

Very good looking but don't go to the gym.

I am a Portuguese gay man. Ask me anything.

r42 Show us a hot gay male celebrity from your country.

Married a Portuguese man. Most tender living and passionate I’ll ever meet, I’ve been to Lisbon and yes very beautiful and friendly. He also like to hustle and work hard too.

Is OP's pic a typical Portuguese streetwear look (an open overcoat and white briefs)? If so, I'm on the next flight.

(43) I am not very up on popular culture, but here are a couple that come to mind:

1. Diogo Infante: He used to be a model and is now an actor. He is in his late 40s now, but it is good to have an example of a mature man, instead of just 20 somethings. I was reminded of him recently because he got married (to a man) and it was well covered in the press:

2. Marco da Silva: He's a dancer/model/DJ. Has been a judge on American idol type shows:

Are Brazillian guys Portuguese?

Joao Sousa is very cute.

No, Brazilian guys are not per se Portuguese, the same way that Americans are not British. Brazil was a colony of Portugal for several centuries. During that time, most of the people living there were Portuguese or were slaves imported by the Portuguese. However, once Brazil became an independent country in the early 19th century, different kinds of people started immigrating there. There were still Portuguese of course, but given that Portugal is a small country and Brazil is huge, the proportion of Portuguese started falling. People from Italy, Germany, and even countries like Japan and Lebanon moved there in the later 19th century and 20th centuries.

It is estimated that about 10% of Brazilians are descendants of Portuguese. Portuguese, with different accent and a slightly different grammar and vocabulary (again, think of the analogy with British-American English) is still the official language of Brazil.

[quote]It is estimated that about 10% of Brazilians are descendants of Portuguese.

That's not right. It's true that 10% of Brazilians mention Portugal when they're describing their ancestry - about the same share that mentions Italy. But there's no doubt, if you look at a random list of Brazilian names, that Portuguese family names are far more common than those from Italy.

A lot more Brazilians simply describe their ancestry as "Brazilian" which sucks up the percentage identifying Portugal as a source of ancestry because such ancestry is considered default in Brazil and implicit in their Braziliannness.

A similar phenomenon happens among Americans - when equivalent surveys are run in the US, an oddly low percentage describe themselves as having English ancestry. This fact has given rise to the wrong impression that German ancestry is more common in the US than an English origin.

However, genetic testing makes clear that Americans are more similar the English than to the Germans, and genetic testing also makes it clear that Western Iberia (which includes Portugal) makes up the bulk of the European ancestry in Brazil. See the graph below, from a recent study of Latin American genetic ancestry.

r51 I stand corrected. I was going on what I read as self-reported data, as you pointed out. It does appear that a lot of Brazilians have a significant amount of Portuguese ancestry!

r51 is correct, I'm American-Brazilian and all the names in our family tree are all Portuguese in origin: da Silva, da Pais, Ferreira, Oliveira and so on. But if you ask my Brazilian born mom what she is, she'll reply simply Brazilian.

I do believe we could play this game ("unique hotness") using upwards of 50% of countries/people on earth.

Just go to Spain. Portugal seems like a huge toss up. No debate on the sizzle factor of the Spaniards.

My partner's old landlord moved to Portugal after him and husband divorced. Sounds like a nice play to disappear though.

That being said, I'd make sure you don't move there thinking you are going to live like Madonna. Unless you are Madonna, of course.

hey R10 i am hairy fit shorter bottom....luv portuguese or spanish or italian tops

Grew up in coastal CT where there are a fair number of Portuguese. My observations are that the men are squat and ugly and brutish/macho. The wives are vowed by those curt ugly men. Sometimes the teens are handsome but they all hit a wall, as others have said.

On the plus side, they are devoted to their families and work very hard.

We had Portuguese neighbors and they had “show” kitchens, and actual working kitchens in their basements where they slaughtered rabbits, made homemade wine and fried stuff. They were fond of keeping German shepherds as watchdogs, which they treated horribly. They treated the dogs better than their wives and daughters. They also had lots of pride in bullfighting, which I’d always assumed was strictly Spanish. They also wore slippers or shower sandals with thick white socks.

I’m sorry, but I’m rather prejudiced against them.

25% of young men in any country can be considered very attractive. Duh.

Brazilians generally stereotype the Portuguese as fat, stupid and ugly.

There's a bit of colonial resentment going on there of course.

Check out Falls River, Massachussetts. Sample before buying across the pond.

R59 I'm from Brazil and I've never heard of the stereotype that the Portuguese are fat. But the image of the stupid Portuga does exist. I remember I had a History class in high school where the teacher explained how the stereotype came to be; the teacher challenged it, detailing how Portuguese colonial administrators were actually very creative and full of tricks when it came to sabotaging Brazilian criminals or independentists. But I remember almost nothing he said, lol.

In addition, Portuguese women are also stereotyped as having mustaches and unibrows. I've heard the same stereotype from a Spanish woman once.

Due to the rise of social media, Brazilians and Portuguese sometimes interact on the internet and so another stereotype came to be among us, that they are passionately racist. This was not how the Portuguese were thought of in Brazil before. Gilberto Freyre, who is probably the most influential sociologist from Brazil, thought Brazil was the melting pot that it is due to the Portuguese, who according to him had a weaker sense of racial identity than other Europeans. But I did hear from a Belgian guy that in his country the Brazilian and Portuguese communities get on well and socialize often.

To wrap things on a positive note, I have the vague impression that the Portuguese are very cultured and well read. They not only tend to have a better English than other nations in the Mediterranean, as shown above, but also knowledge of French seems to be fairly widespread in their country, I think. They also write Portuguese like no one. It's embarrassing to read most Brazilian newspapers after leaving a Portuguese website. Pity about the accent, though.

And here's a hot gay Tuga I follow on IG:

Portugal is bootleg Spain. Their language sounds like fucked up drunk on vinho verde Spanish. For the names of weekdays they use ordinal numbers. Imagine if in English we called Monday "Second", Tuesday "Third", etc. But in Portuguese the weekend days are not known by their ordinal number; rather, Sunday = Domingo, not Primeiro. And Saturday = Sábado, not Sétimo. Very confusing. They make good pastries though.

I speak Spanish reasonably well (and I know some French and Italian) and I find that I can usually figure out written Portuguese, but listening to it? Forget it.

R61 Thank you for your informative post. That boy is nice looking, although I would prefer hairier and with brown eyes. What's wrong with the accent in Portugal?

Portugal is not on the Mediterranean Sea.

Pity about the accent, though.

Interesting comment, R61. Does that mean Brazilians don't like the Portugal accent? Most Americans look at British accents as superior, or at least closer to "perfect" English. I take by your comment that the same is not true for the way Brazilians look at Portugal accents.

[quote]How are Portuguese men in real life?

Well, the ones in the US are mostly Republican. The ones in Portugal can be hit or miss.

[quote]Portuguese women are also stereotyped as having mustaches and unibrows. I've heard the same stereotype from a Spanish woman once.

It is not a stereotype...

Swarthy, hairy. Um...ok.

BUMP

R66 The accents of Portugal are considered comic in Brazil, supposing they're understood at all since some Portuguese accents - especially those that are spoken on the islands, I think - have a near zero level of intelligibility to Brazilian ears. Brazilian accents are in fact more conservative and are more in line with how the language sounded like in remote centuries. I gather that the opposite happens between American and British accents?

R71 apparently not if you believe Bob on RuPaul's Drag Race. I was suspicious but there is scholarly attention to British English having evolved more extreme accents over 300 years than American English.

Im just stopping in to perv on the nipples on the guy OP posted. DAMN!

He"s great looking. He would be perfect if he was hairier. I love Southern European men ( and Argentines) Overall, they're my favorite

Azorean Porshugueshe shounzh like ish being shpoken by Lizha.

Re: the post above about the show kitchens, a lot go as far as having an entire show floor. It's very common in SE Mass to have a split-level in which only the lower level is used. The upstairs is opened for a) holidays, b) a visit from the priest, c) Holy Ghost season. The latter is a post unto itself.

Couples usually have elderly parents living with them to handle most of the cleaning, cooking, childcare, and yard work while they're at work and it's not unusual for parents with small children to each work 2-3 jobs concurrently. Carrying a balance on a credit-card debt is frowned upon and everything is paid for in cash.

Money is also saved by having a big Sunday dinner with beef and using the leftovers in kale soup, which is then eaten throughout the week. The other big thing on Sunday is malasadas (pronounced mullasathezhhh) after church. They're dipped burning hot into granulated sugar and then they go straight into brown paper bags, and they always cause some type of bickering. Kids fight each other to get the sugar clumps from the bottom of the bag, fathers want to stand on the sidewalk outside the bakery and eat one while it's still hot, and the wife-mother isn't having any of this.

For a bit of Tasteful Friend content, the exteriors of the split-levels I mentioned above are typically done up with ornate porticos and pillars, faux brick or rock, and huge Mediterranean light fixtures....sometimes on the same house. For those who haven't graduated to the split-level, there's the 2-3 story house occupied by family members. In those cases, they only have a single "show" room.

For some reason, chain-link fences are extremely popular as are front yards full of exotic flowers grown from seeds smuggled in from the Azores. There's also the obligatory Our Lady of Fatima in a prominent spot. Back yard = full concrete, grape arbor, old men in lawn chairs, and a clothes line.

This entire post probably sounds like something that would have died out decades ago, but there are people in their thirties still living this way.

And yet the photo does not match at all the description.

Most things in life don’t, dear.

I want a Portuguese man! Where can I get one? I want one of them to kiss my neck while I'm sipping some nice, sweet port wine

Ok that's amazing R78

Where are the dick pics? Priorities!

Apparently the Portuguese have small dicks R81
