back to article Women-only town seeks men

A Brazilian town populated solely by "extremely attractive" women is looking for obedient and well-behaved men to come and, erm, romance them. The 600 women of Noiva do Cordeiro are feeling amorous, but there are simply no chaps about to court them. So they have issued a call for eligible males who think they're man enough to …

      Simple solution

      There are parts of India where there is a significant discrepancy between the number of male babies 'born' 120 to female babies 'born' 100.

      In a number of areas the ratio is even worse.

      Instead of advertising in Brazil they should be relaxing immigration policy for the Indian subcontinent.

        "the idea that women without men..."

        It's clear from one of the quotes that the women do not live without men, just that the men there are either married or closely related.

        "...live in harmony"

        In a small closed community, there is going to be more resentment under the surface than is apparent because of the necessity to keep good relations with people you depend on. Not sure whether this would be more the case with all-women (or all-men), or whether it's not gender-specific at all.

        Adding a few eligible bachelors to a community with a lot of single women could increase that (accusations of 'you're stealing my boyfriend' etc), especially if their stated aim is marriage i.e. exclusivity. On the other hand, there might be just the right proportion that women learn to live together without jealousy, 'sharing' the men among them, or else getting nothing at all - A bit like 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress', but with genders reversed

            I wonder what the outcome would have been if the women involved had been given survival training - the issue isn't just organisational, it's also having the skills. Having said that, it's been my experience that it's easier to organise men because they're quicker to focus on a common goal, but that could be confirmation bias. Personally I believe a mix is best.

            As for the original topic, I suspect they will wish soon that they hadn't advertised as every idiot on the planet is going to descend on them..

    cult in need of advertising

    From The Mirror: The whole town came together recently to help buy a huge widescreen TV for our community centre so we can all watch soap operas together. "And there's always time to stop and gossip, try on each other's clothes and do each other's hair and nails."

    They do not really advertise, ehmmm, the romancing part, do they now? Their first catch should be an advertisement guru to create more illusions about wild romances and complex triangles. I mean the article does say they "share everything". Until the snake in paradise enters I suppose: the village will become soaked in blood when jealousy rears its ugly head.

    Bear in mind carefully these clues, as you pack your bags full of condoms and head out to meet the sirens of Brazil's lost city of Amazons for the orgy of the century!

    First: the town was founded in 1891

    Second: everyone is a cousin

    Third: you'll have to do WHAT WE SAY

    In your dreams, you recline on a couch as a bevy of naked nymphs feed you grapes, play harps and lyres, and massage your sore aches (to put it in polite wording).

    In reality...

    Oy, come here, you! Yeah, no. 67538. You're assigned to baba Samba y Futebol. She's not had a man in over 80 years, because...well, because...as we said, we're all cousins here and it can result in certain, er, unique physical and mental attributes. You'll see when you get there. She lives in Casa de los Tarantulas e Crocodylos, at the edge of the village, so called because, er, well...there's lots of them around. Your duties include having sex 10 times a day, filleting and cooking the tarantulas, feeding the crocodiles and cleaning your owner'slove's dentures and the rest of the home. Get moving!!!

      Anonymous Coward, given the village’s rural location, define “high speed”. Learning Portuguese might help, even if you choose not to speak it.

Once you’ve picked up some Portuguese, you could look for a documentary named Noivas do Cordeiro (a play on the village’s name) to learn more about the people there. The sentence Todos trabalham, todos comem o que plantam should provide a dose of reality.

    They won't leave my dog alone with that Medina, pal

    I went up to this girl, she said, Hi, my name is Sheena

    I thought she'd be good to go with a little Funky Cold Medina

    She said, I'd like a drink, I said, Ehm, ok, I'll go get it

    Then a couple sips, she cold licked her lips

    And I knew that she was with it

    So, I took her to my crib and everything went well as planned

    But when she got undressed, it was a big old mess, Sheena was a man

    So, I threw him out, I don't fool around with no Oscar Meyer wiener

    You must be sure that the girl is pure for the Funky Cold Medina

    You know, ain't no plans with a man

    This is the 80's and I'm down with the ladies

    Break it down

    Back in the saddle, lookin' for a little affection

    I took a shot as a contestant on 'The Love Connection'

    The audience voted and you know they picked a winner

    I took my date to the Hilton for Medina and some dinner

    She had a few drinks, I'm thinkin' soon what I'll be gettin'

    Instead she started talkin' 'bout plans for our weddin'

    I said, wait, slow down, love, not so fast, says, I'll be seein' ya

    That's why I found you don't play around with the Funky Cold Medina

    Ya know what I'm sayin'

    That Medina's a monster, y'all

    -----------------------------------

    TL;DR - Sheena was a man!
