A day trip to Santa fe de Antioquia
So I was sitting around thinking that I needed to expand my horizons and Santa Fe would do the trick. The Plumber and I had found two Paisas that we linked so we arranged a taxi for a day trip here. The total cost would be 200,000 and it was from 10am - 5pm.
We had a great meal, checked out a few smaller towns and Hotels along the way.
I plan on returning in the near future.
Be The Fisherman, Not The Fish
[QUOTE=Davidb3069]If guys are having great luck there in the dating scene, I would attribute it to a few things:
1) The chicks perceive the guys as being a long-term option rather than a fast in and out tourist;
2) The chicks don't perceive the guys as being mongers;
3) The guys aren't acting like mongers and doing monger activities;
Like it or not, word spreads very fast about the activities of mongers. The girls can ask a few friends and likely get the scoop on someone. In Cartagena (Laguito), forget trying to stay anonymous with what you do. People up and down those streets know your business (especially around LDV).
I'd be curious to know the truth of how many of those "working, educated" girls have turned tricks before or do it on the side if money is needed. If they are putting out that easily, I would suspect they got broken in someplace. I have been with a few of those "educated" girls too, but they were paying for their schooling by turning tricks. And they were young.
David[/QUOTE]While I didn't agree with some other comments by David, I certainly agree with everything David says here. For some reason, a lot of Gringos leave their common sense at the airport in Miami. I like Colombianas, but I don't put them on a pedestal. In Colombia, you need a healthy dose of skepticism. Colombianas are experts at telling guys what they want to hear, and some are good actresses. Determining the sincerity of Colombianas isn't that difficult, however.
Plain and simple, you should be looking for Colombianas that aren't looking for Gringos.
Non-prostitutes are a "no pain, no gain" situation in Colombia. Most Gringos are lazy and naive. Most Gringos date Colombianas they meet from the dating sites, marriage agencies, dance clubs known to be popular with Gringos, poolside at luxury hotels, etc. I hate to shatter the egos of some Gringos, but most of those Colombianas are prepagos.
I highly recommend you assume that such women are prepagos. Just because they don't charge you, doesn't mean they don't charge other guys.
I am not saying not to date such women. They can be a lot of fun. However, don't be naive. Recognize the type of woman that you are dating with both eyes wide open.
If you truly want a serious relationship with a Colombiana, then look for a Colombiana that isn't looking for Gringos. Be the fisherman, not the fish.
Those In Glass Houses....
[QUOTE=Davidb3069]This is not the Florida forum. This is the place to discuss Colombia.
David[/QUOTE]You're right. It is the Colombia forum, and I am discussing Colombianas.
Why have you been discussing Ecuador in the Colombia forum?
