Hi Cyrana,

I call those guys NERDS. Many gringos who couldn’t get laid in their own countries come to third world countries to get attractive women. It’s even worse in Asia because many NERDS are concerned for their safety in Latin America.

Still, my word for those guys would be NERDS!

Thanks for reading!

Interesting definition about women engaging foreigners in Peru. I came across your information because i am researching this term “Brichera/o” .
How then you call men that are unable to find a girlfriend in their own countries and go to third world countries to find a “wife” ?. I have extense experience in working in public places where I have to deal with domestic violence, mental health issues, etc and mainly the so called “whites” are the perpetrators of abuse.

In my experience I have observed that most of these men are so inadequate to engage a healthy woman in their own countries that resource to far away places to get some poor desperate soul…

As per the white people having the upper hand in Peru… is another exageration, I guess the circles you move on are made of no so well adjusted people. I think you need to broaden your research and try to find a name for the men who seek women in other countries.

By the way, I had a good friend while I was working in Peru who would freak out when any Peruvian guys talked too much or looked too much at me. She called them bricheros and warned me to be careful.

I completely agree with your explanation of the “two races” in Peru and the distinction between the “European” and indigenous Peruvians (same goes for Bolivia and to some extent, in some parts of, Brazil). I had a Peruvian boss tell me once that he is white; yeah, yeah, and I’m a Nubian Queen.

I really enjoy reading your blog because you write in such a way, with such imagery, that I can easily picture what you’re describing. Well done.

@ Samuel,

It’s very common actually, that nerdy gringos come down to get laid, marry a chick way out of their league, bring them back to Gringolandia, and when the chick’s papers are finalized she fucks off with another gringo more her style. I personally wasn’t born one of those guys so that stuff doesn’t happen to me.

What about the latinas whose primary goal is to get to the US and stay there?

I know that this type is the worst type to marry and bring to the states since they just use you like a coyote to get into the US and then often bail or cheat etc.

I wonder if this sort of brichera is dealing with issues like a messed up social life / family life… and the allure of being in big US cities and the glamour of how the US is often portrayed in TV and movies… because why would a woman want to leave her country and her family unless things really sucked bad?

Have you ran into any bricheras that are trying to marry a gringo to get to the states, or does this type pass you by, realizing you aren’t GOING to the states? Have you known any gringos that got taken for a ride by this sort?

Mate that writeup was gold – classic gonzo journalism. After reading your article I am inspired but cannot decide which type to sample first. I like the idea of both at the same time but foresee a few problems. Maybe start with a Type I as they sound easier. Plus I am an engineer ( = nerd) so probs should not set the bar too high initially. Top work – keep it up fella.

there is something you have to consider and that is that men in Peru —and this is worse in provinces— have somehow a macho upbringing, and even the sensitive ones will have to interact with the macho mentality of their pals.

Sure there is a lot of racial consideration in here, but I would make a third distinction and would say that while there are girls that are more likely to find themselves attracted to the exotic of “the stranger” their motivations can be found in their inability to find the ideal man are looking for.
