'I haven't kissed a man for a long time. We all dream of falling in love and getting married': MailOnline visits the mysterious town of 300 Brazilian women looking for loveNoiva do Cordeiro has been inundated with calls after putting out a request for men last month. The town has hardly any men and 300 eligible womenThe women showed MailOnline how they run all of their affairs - including a profitable farm - by their own rulesThe town dates back to 1891, when a local girl was forced to marry a man she didn't love, left him and was excommunicated by the Catholic ChurchAny suitors will have to pitch in with washing dishes, cleaning toilets and cooking. A resident said: 'It's not that we're anti-men but we are all equal'The houses are painted lilac, pink and orange, the trees are delicately-manicured and tied with ribbons, and the scent of fresh lavender floats in the breeze.Everything in Noiva do Cordeiro, nestling deep in the hills of southeast Brazil, has a distinctive feminine touch.And no wonder: the rural town, which lies 300 miles north of Rio de Janeiro, is populated – and governed – almost entirely by 600 women - 300 of whom are of working age and eligible.Mysteriously cut off from the outside world for more than a century, they are renowned for their beauty – but also for their stubborn refusal to live in a man's world.Here, the women make the rules and do most of the work - from running the town's finances to tilling the land and even building their own houses.Meanwhile, the few men lucky enough to live here know their place – which includes making themselves scarce during the week and returning only at weekends.Unknown outside Brazil until now, the town hit the headlines after reports suggested its women were looking for husbands – sparking a frenzy of male interest from around the world.One of its residents, Nelma Fernandes, made the appeal to a newspaper, saying: 'Here, the only men we meet are either married or related to us. I haven't kissed a man for a long time. We all dream of falling in love and getting married.'You wouldn't cope. Almost everyone who lives here grew up like this, they have no problem living in such isolation. At night there's nothing to do, nowhere to go, apart from getting your pyjamas on and cuddling up- Selma FernandesMailOnline spent two days in Noiva do Cordeiro – which translates 'Bride of the Lamb' – and discovered a carefree, caring and hardworking community where girl power is well and truly alive.Thousands of men from around the world have since answered Noiva do Cordeiro's women's appeal for eligible bachelors.In the first 24 hours after the town's peculiar dilemma hit the headlines in late August, the community's only public phone rang over a thousand times, according to Rosalee - although most callers were not speaking Portuguese and none of the residents could understand them.The town's Facebook page went from under 500 likes to nearly 15,000, with hundreds of messages from single men offering themselves as husband material.One from Tofy Guesti, posted this week, reads: 'Hi, I'm 31 years want to come to your city then get married !!!!!! Who will contact me'Another suitor, Redzep Kurtic, wrote: 'I asking for help... I wana (sic) marry some girl from Noiva do Cordeiro... I am 22 years old, and I am from Serbia... Please can someone hellp (sic) me to make some conntacts (sic)'Bilal Abbas wrote: 'i come to know about your village through the news of daily mail... i am interested in your advert... any one can text me.'American Walker Jay didn't wait for a response, posting a photo of himself with the words: 'I'm coming to learn Farming/Agriculture and to meet a women of my dreams to marry and learn all your ways as one.'And Jack Enright tried to win the women over by posting: 'Looks like Paradise and I am a Horticulturist.'If any potential suitors arriving in Noiva do Cordeiro are given the welcome I was, they will be easily captivated by the town and its admittedly strikingly beautiful inhabitants.Any man interested in one of our girls needs to understand that. If you want to come here you'll need to live as we do. And that means accepting that you won't be in charge- Vilma VieraEagerly awaiting my arrival, the women had cooked a special delicious meal made from fresh produce they themselves had hand picked from the local fields.As I tucked in a number of them sat around attentively, appearing genuinely interested in knowing more about me and my life, and eager for me to teach them some English words.Expecting to feel intimidated by a place where the women make the rules, the girls made sure I felt at home and at the centre of their attentions.And even though I had planned to stay just a few hours in the town, they insisted I stay for at least two days - they had even prepared my bedroom, where the was delivered a constant supply of home baked cakes, biscuits and other snacks.In the evening I joined the community for their weekly variety show, where the women put on drama, dance and choir performances, including a raunchy set by Keila Gaga - Noiva do Cordeiro's own Lady Gaga impersonator, who burst out onto stage from inside a coffin wearing suspenders and a skimpy leotard.By the time I had woken up at 5.30am the next morning and joined the women - including Keila Gaga, chatting and singing, as they huddled together in a van to go work on the fields, I already felt part of the family.READ MORE PLUS SEE AMAZING PHOTOS @http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2778315/I-haven-t-kissed-man-long-time-We-dream-falling-love-getting-married-MailOnline-visits-mysterious-town-300-Brazilian-women-looking-love.html
