Stupid shit in Medellin

[Paulie97]

Drugging's are probably the biggest concern in Medellin. Below is some statistical data. There's also been a number of recent related deaths, and there's plenty of anecdotal reports here in the forum. Watch your drinks and don't accept any liquids from strangers. If you accidentally leave your drink unattended toss it. Be on top of your game. Don't get drunk. The latest death BTW was of an American but of Nicaraguan origins. Yes Colombians not only drug tourists but one another as well. This is all simply common knowledge on the ground. Ask any Colombian.

Also watch out for two men on a motorcycle, a common MO. The one on the back will display a firearm. Obviously cooperation is the best response if confronted.

All that said, with some precautions and a little luck, chances are your Medellin trip will go well. Be safe out there and enjoy.

P.S. As to crime rates around the world, neither the US or Colombia are in the top ten. Out of 137 countries measured Colombia comes in at 31, and the US at 56. Of course crime rates can vary a lot from city to city, and this is especially true in the states. Some of the travelers from Europe will be coming from countries with much lower crime rates than either of the above.

Good for you! You have visited one place! Yawn. And I have seen no good information from you better than what I have already put on here. I would say that is very useful information when people are fear mongers on here trying to scare people with lies and falsities! They should know that it is ultra safe being here for any reason! And. You don't need any other information from me since you supposed know all there is to know about Medellin. You don't need my help. But I did enjoy 15 ladies during my week in Medellin and Cartagena. Zero issues, except by a group of Americans. Which is always the case. There is a reason why people don't like American tourists. And a reason I try to go where there are very few of them. Anyway, I could give you information on where all I met them, but you are know it all, so you already know!

Thanks for the additional anecdotes peppered with exclamation marks, all essentially worthless. As was your discussions of safety in the US, as such has nothing to do with safety or the lack thereof Medellin. These are two different countries in case you failed to notice. It also appears from your post history that you are very new to the Medellin scene. I'm going to address Medellin safety in a separate post and the readers can decide what are the "falscities (sic) and lies." It's also worth noting that a number of members on this thread experienced with Medellin share my point of view, as the points are hardly debatable, among Colombians and tourists alike. It's simply common knowledge.

Well, I just checked out your posting history and you are a useless twat.

[Thunder 01]

That would be quite the erroneous assumption. I spend three to four months a year in Medellin, and have a number of on the ground and experience related reports here. But since you travel a lot, we look forward to your contributions from Medellin, and something besides the sweeping claim that the US is the most dangerous place of the six continents you've been on. That's not very useful. Lolol.

Assuming you don't travel much.

Personal anecdotes in a monger forum. That is not evidence when deciding what places are more dangerous than others. Credible crime statistics though can be useful.

Assuming you don't travel much. Okay. Let's look at statistics. Murders and crimes done on tourists!\! Maybe look at the post below me. Let's look at data Sherlock. More Native American women disappear in the USA than any other nationality in any other country. That is the data. Too bad it sounds like you prescribe to the Trump / Q-Anon data.

I lived in and recently visited Medellin and I will dissent from that. I have been to all Central and South American Spanish speaking countries and would say that Medellin is more dangerous (including all forms of safety including traffic, STDs, theft, scopolamine, police shakedowns, etc.) than most Latin cities, maybe 80% of the cities of been to (which is most of them). And it's more dangerous than anywhere I have been in Europe which includes over 20 countries. ...

Maybe I've been lucky. My first trip to Medellin was in November, 2010, and I've been there 50 times since then. I travel alone most of the time. I've never been robbed, shaken down by the police, given scopolamine, or gotten an STD. A fake policeman tried to shake me down one time, and an "acquaintance" tried it one time. Both times I walked away from them when I realized what was happening. I am old and very white. I have been to Costa Rica and Nicaragua. I feel safer in Medellin than either of those countries.

I have been on 6 continents and the only place I have had any crime happen to me was in the USA.

Where I don't want to go right now in LatAm is Mxico.

I think that is overblown due to the media. I thought Mexico City was not walkable at night, but I was just there, and the streets were flooded, and we walked around with no issues. And I was just in Cancun and Tulum 2 months ago. Despite the widespread media reports, Cancun and Tulum are still packed. I actually wish people would not go there. I loved Cancun when it was empty during the pandemic. The deaths there were collateral damage in the drug war. That is unlike other places I went.

For example, in Rio, when I went 15 years ago, the slums were right near Atlantic Avenue, the street lining Copacabana Beach. It was open season on tourists. 2 of 3 people in our party got mugged, and people bragged about NOT getting mugged.

I was in Caracas, Venezuela shortly after that, and I went to a strip club. The streets were fucking dead at night. Those two places were the only cities where I have ever been where I was constantly looking behind me. Everything and everyone was open season in Caracas.

I do not know why but around the same time I was visiting Juarez Mexico which meant I had been to three of the four most dangerous cities in the world at that time. It was sad to see Americans not going there and the city streets and shops were decaying because of that. Thing is while Juarez was the most deadly city in North America, across the border, El Paso was the 3rd safest. So again, it was a drug war with citizens as collateral damage, and it was dangerous, but I felt a lot better there than in Rio or Caracas.

But those other individual session occurred with such diverse women in such diverse circumstances in such diverse places, that I think you can never know or predict precisely when or how the chemistry and stars will align to produce great sex. You just have to keep hitting it and go with the flow. In the case of paid sex, I have found zero correlation between price and performance. In the case of civilians, I have found zero correlation between looks and performance.

Good post. Yeah, I think price has to do more with looks. I agree there is zero correlation with price and performance.

A bodybuilder who married a sex doll last year claims he is now madly in love with an ashtray. And plans to give it an artificial vagina.

Yuri Tolochko says he has moved on since his devastating split from Margo the doll and is building a new life.

Well played PM.

[Thunder 01]

Don't know what you are comparing it to. It is an abnormally dangerous place compared to where I live. Everyone I know that comes from or lives in Medellin has been the victim of some sort of robbery or violent crime. Almost no one I know in my home town has ever been a victim of a similar crime.

Um. No! It is not dangerous at all. Hey must be in the wrong place doing the wrong things. You must be white grinho and disrespecting or something. The most dangerous places in the world are in the USA. I am a lot safer in Mexico, Cuba, El Salvador than there. Maybe because I am Native American and not a gringo. But it is deadly for minorities in the USA. I have been on 6 continents and the only place I have had any crime happen to me was in the USA.

More dangerous: Coln, Tegucigalpa, Ciudad del Este mmm that's about it. About the same vibe of danger: Guatemala City, David. Of course cities in the Yew Ess like St. Louis, Baltimore, Albuquerque, etc.

I have lived in Argentina, Colombia, Panam, Costa Rica and Guatemala (in CA and SA) and as a country overall, I believe Colombia to be the most dangerous one, followed by Guatemala, then Argentina, then Costa Rica, then Panam. Depends on the regime in power, the state of the economy, and so forth.

Where I don't want to go right now in LatAm is Mxico.

It is a place where things can go bad for you very fast. It's nickname is Albucrackee, albeit it's more about meth these days but the name has stuck.

[PedroMorales]

Pedro,

I was not talking about mongers marrying porn stars but porn stars marrying each other. MDS had the notion that preachers showing up at a porn star convention are out of place. Certainly, the loud mouth judging types are but a number of porn stars are married and Christians..

I'm sure most who have visited or live in Medellin would agree that it's not an abnormally dangerous city.
