Posts: 688I know I represent a sample size of one, but I recently completed fifty years of mongering so within that sample size of one monger is an "and" of well over a thousand hookers. If I were to run a regression analysis to determine the correlation of the price I have paid for hookers to the quality of service I received, I'm quite confident the "are" would be statistically indistinguishable from zero. Oh and I never got robbed or scoped while mongering. One time I was getting a blow job in a doorway in Barrio Xine in Barcelona and a guy came up with a knife but I just ran with my dick hanging out. I have gone back and forth over the years, whether the hooker was involved, but my gut tells me no. So I don't know if I am street smart or have common sense or maybe my luck has not run out yet. I have mongered in El Centro, Santa Fe, Bocatorena, etc. But also higher end brothels in Europe. And when I was living in Argentina, I mongered at pretty much every possible level. The one thing I know is, you never know, and all these generalizations being made by some of the callow youths on this board just don't hold any water.

This is with a girl who I think is very hot but she is kind of under the radar that is why I picked her. I knew she would be expensive that is why I started at a slightly higher price and she accepted it which is much lower than she usually gets without much problem after I told her my reason. I expect her to make effort to earn my business. I doubt one will get better service from her by paying her double the amount.

I brought it back the next day to get an exchange without receipt because there is none.
It's also a place people go to socialize. You can see many people dancing under the metro even for today in the rain.
I don't know why you and Elvis seem to overreact and just fire your counterattack aimlessly like others when you both seem very experience and intelligent elsewhere. Even if you think people are attacking you but did you notice they actually spend time writing posts with substance trying to help you understand?

A chick was coming over last night. She told me $43 for short time and $86 for all night. I told her fuck that and that I would pay $29 for short time. She said no at first, but then said she would only stay 1 hour in that case. I said okay. She got here at 9 pm and ended up not leaving until 7 am and trying to come back tonight when she finishes work. Sure I could have paid the $86 for long time she originally offered, but I know there is no reason to throw around that kind of money here. And what would the $86 have gotten me that the $29 did not get me from the same damn chick?
Maybe it just works out for me because I have never met any pussy that I had to have so I am able to hold out and to say no. You can't miss what you never had and I do not remember the chicks over the years that I had not been able to come to an agreement with.
I get happy when someone teaches me that I could be paying less for something. Why pay more when I do not have to. It confuses me when people would rather pay more for the same thing. Like the taxis at the airport for instance. A seasoned traveler knows that the people saying taxi taxi when you arrive at the airport are going to charge exorbitantly and you can go to where taxis are dropping people off to get one for normal price. Yet there are still people who refuse to walk a few steps in order to pay half the money for the same thing.

I've always thought that a person had to be careless or worse. But you're the expert, right? You been scopalomined, so educate us?
Were you devoid of 'common sense'? Or was it that you weren't 'street smart'? Maybe you just weren't 'situationally aware'? Which was it?
What all did the person take from you? Where were you staying? Was it another one of those hostels or cheap hotels without any security that you like so much? Did you file a police report? I've heard you can't speak Spanish at all. So, how did you report your experience to the police? Did you go to a clinic or hospital to get checked out? How long were you out? Did they get your PIN number and drain your bank account?
I'm curious how the thieves could put one over on the foremost authority on bed bugs and personal safety.

There is no "better" or "best" when it comes to cities or parts of cities, although there are bad and worse. It's all a matter of what appeals to each person.
If I'm going to write an opinion about something, then I'm going to experience it first, really experience it, and not just take a quick look around and pass judgment. I get annoyed at "experts" who've never experienced the things they are putting down. I also get annoyed at people who put others down over things which don't involve them and are none of their business.
Add to my "things that annoy me" list, people who insist their way is best for everyone. Everyone has to find their own way. I've spent a lot of time looking at and trying just about every way. I've found what works for me, depending on my current mood. If someone asks for advice, I ask questions. There's no sense in steering them towards something which doesn't appeal to them.

Thus many professionals suggest that at the beginning of such a situation it's best that you fight for your life as it likely will be your last chance to.
And it's the same guy that assumes that when when a girl posts pics of themselves at nice hotels that they've found "wealthy clients. " That's even though in the Colombian or Mexican economies any American working stiff can afford to take girls to such places. Thus we have a guy without "street smarts" that probably should have his passport seized for his own safety.

The allure? The people, the energy, the gritty reality of life in Medellin, or is it the beauty? The history? The sense of being grounded, connected to the city?

For the longest time he lived in Asia and people kept telling him to visit Tijuana and he kept blowing it off because he believed nothing would beat where he was currently at until he finally went and now he lives in Tijuana and loves it.
But what's funny is that he says Colombia isn't worth checking out because he knows it doesn't compare to Tijuana LOL.
I just think that's hilarious. Maybe he reads this. I would be surprised if he's not on ISG.
