[QUOTE=JustTK;2774137]Bcos the currency in Colombia is pesos and you cannot use USD here. I know many USAns like to think that the American continent belongs to them, but really it doesn't. The only use for USD that a Colombian might have for USD is if they were some guy running a fake FB account using pictures of Colombian chicas in order to screw naive visitors out of their money.[/QUOTE]So they can't go to a currency exchange. Ok got it Smh.

Money & phones
I have a question for you, since we have some experts here. I've come across a couple girls who have selfies with US currency inside their see thru phone covers. Can you tell me if there's any meaning behind that? Because according to you guys these girls are gold diggers if they are quoting dollars. Is there a connection there, are they trying to tell us that because I find it odd many do this, like if it's some kind of trend perhaps.

[QUOTE=Anthony2023;2774219]So they can't go to a currency exchange. Ok got it Smh.[/QUOTE]Sure they can, but why would they want to give an exch office 5-10% of their earnings? Why not just bill in the local currency? Makes no sense whatsoever. Even a glue sniffing street urchin could figure that one out.

The girl will save the USA bcos they generally have no use for them and they don't want to give their value away in exch centres. Thats my experience of the situation.

[QUOTE=Anthony2023;2774219]So they can't go to a currency exchange. Ok got it Smh.[/QUOTE]BTW. There are some exceptions. These are girls who can use USD. For example, some Venezuelans will want or accept USD bcos that is now the most accepted stable currency in Venezuela. They prefer USD if they are going home bcos then they can buy the bus ticket at the border, they can use the money in the own country, knowing that it won't lose value within one week. But this is not the case for Colombians living in Colombia.

Why is your superior skills at working this magical chemistry of yours not working at all on this site?
You have not figured out yet that many of these guys started 10,20, 30 years ago when they were 40,30, and some 20 years old and thus know what it was like in Colombia during the drug years, then before the Venies came over the border, and now with Venies everywhere?

Several of my normal chicks have asked me for one when we have been together. And I tell them the same thing you should be telling those chicks I am in Colombia. Why would I have dollars? I have pesos and a credit card.

Or maybe girls, who have almost all had at least one phone stolen, are willing to risk losing most of their monthly rent by putting it in the most likely thing to be stolen.

[QUOTE=Huacho;2774740]You got that half right. I tell them I have pesos. What's a credit card?[/QUOTE]LOL. Only time that I use pesos is when I am paying a hooker, taxi, or Indriver. Everything else I use a credit card.

Does that contradict what several people with real world experience have been telling you? Not in the slightest.
Maybe she works at Gusto's. There, the girls eagerly seek out new know-it-all vacationers who pay them in $US dollars (more precisely, overpay them dramatically in US dollars). Or perhaps they just got back from a working vacation in Panama or Ecuador. You are aware (silly me. You know everything) that the US Dollar is the fiat currency in Panama and Ecuador. Or perhaps they just got back from a working vacation in Cancun, Mexico or Cartagena and were paid by their American companion in US Dollars.
I'm sure there are other possibilities too. But when all is said and done. Girls in Medellin will expect payment in Colombian Pesos. That is what they use to pay their bills. If you are having conversations with girls and the payment discussion is in US dollars. Look out. An experienced hombre here, would know something is very strange. And to borrow a phrase used a lot in poker.

1. It was just a question out of curiosity.
2. Stating the obvious doesn't help.
As far as a girl talking dollars. Again I haven't even landed in Colombia, when I do land and I finally talk to her in person, than and only than if I decide to have fun with her, I will remind her that I am only carrying with me pesos. Which is obvious. Since you know. I wonder how many of you actually use your brain before commenting instead of just making assumptions.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2774783]LOL. Only time that I use pesos is when I am paying a hooker, taxi, or Indriver. Everything else I use a credit card.[/QUOTE]So I'm guessing you haven't had any issues with paying with card.
I'm not sure about using a card at any restaurants or bars in Colombia. I always heard not to use cards in mexico.
I don't even like using cards at bars in the states.

No al turista sexual!
I recently stumbled onto this interesting piece. Thought I would post it since there was some discussion here about this very topic:
[URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J3Y1PBcxD4[/URL]
But take note of the one and only comment. The translation is, "While I agree with the message, I bet 99% of the customers in any brothel at anytime here in Colombia are Colombians. Sexual tourism is bad, but the sex industry existed before, and it doesn't exist today based on tourists". Now isn't that [B]word[/B]? Prostitution is deeply embedded within Colombian society, it was there long before sexual tourism became a "thing", and it's not going anywhere. Sexual tourism or not. So they can try to block the sex tourists from partaking, but then what are the going to do? Pray tell will things really be any better since the principle clients (that would be Colombian men) will keep right on engaging in prostitution with Colombian tutes just like they always have? I don't think so. Not at all! Just more useless hypocrisy.
