Stupid shit in Medellin

[JjBee62]

You forgot to mention that you had been fucking hoes during those 2 years of playing a white knight role. Also, she was probably not of legal age when you first met her.

What you described looks like a sugar daddy. Sugar baby relationship, not a real BF. GF relationship.

I didn't mention it because it was not pertinent to my response. And I didn't play any role. I did what billions of men, throughout history have done when they were interested in women. I talked to her. I also didn't mention that I was talking with at least a dozen other girls at the same time, just normal girls, stuck on quarantine and bored. If you can carry a conversation that's more interesting than unbuttered toast, you can do the exact same thing. Bonus points if you can make jokes in Spanish.

There is no legal age to have a conversation with a girl. I had many conversations while she was still 17. We did not meet until 1 month after she turned 18. There's also no legal age to meet a girl.

Really? You haven't seen it, haven't seen me, haven't seen her but it "looks like a sugar daddy, sugar baby relationship?" In what way? Maybe I misunderstand what a SB / SD relationship is. I'll describe what I think it is and then you can compare.

A SB / SD relationship is where the girl is looking for financial support, in exchange for companionship, usually involving sex. Typically the girl lives in her own place and is visited by the guy who pays the bills. Frequently, the financial arrangements are discussed at first meeting and are clearly spelled out.

No financial arrangements were, or have ever been discussed. The first time we met she volunteered to pick me up at the airport. I was not asked to pay for gas or the toll. The next night I invited her and her sister to dinner. We continued to talk for months, no discussion of money. We went out, usually with her friends and her sister, did some sightseeing, normal friendly stuff. She drove, never asked for gas money. When her grandmother went for knee replacement surgery, no mention of money, although I was asked if I would pick her up at the hospital.

As I stated, when I had a reason, I sent her money. I spent money on her and with her. When we go places I'll buy her a souvenir. Of course now the situation has changed. For the past 4 months I haven't bought groceries or gas, I haven't cooked, cleaned or done laundry, and I'm eating at home every day. I haven't even been allowed to wash a single dish.

So let's compare. At this time she receives no money from me. She works and spends her money to buy gas and groceries. If that looks like a SB / SD relationship to you, you need to visit an optometrist.

You forgot to mention that you had been fucking hoes during those 2 years of playing a white knight role.

How is having a girlfriend playing a white knight role? So the queen of Thailand is not really in a relationship with the king because the king has a concubine? Fucking hoes has nothing to do with being in a relationship.

Also, she was probably not of legal age when you first met her.

What the fuck all does that have to do with anything? If she was of legal age when he first had sexual relations with her is what legally matters.

What you described looks like a sugar daddy. Sugar baby relationship, not a real BF. GF relationship.

On the basis of what? An age difference? He has already admitted that he does not give her money like that. Meanwhile another board member, Elvis, says there is a big age difference between him and his girl AND he pays all her bills. Yet he is touted for having an actual relationship instead of being a sugar daddy, because "when a man loves a woman he will support her".

You guys do the same shit when it comes to labeling hookers. Oh the girl I was with is not an actual hooker because she only fucks for money on Wednesdays or because she has a normal job too, or because she is in school, or because she only needs milk money for the baby. Internet mfs always picking and choosing when and how they want a word to be defined. Open up the dictionary and definitions are already there. You do not get to tailor it how you see fit on the occasions that you feel like it. That is how dudes get to call themselves women and everybody else has to play along with the delusion knowing the person is not an actual woman.

I'm too lazy to break it all down and most of it doesn't pertain to me. However, I have a question.

You're often pointing out the logical fallacies of others. Why don't you either point out your own logical fallacies, or stop relying on them for most of your argument?

The ad hominen fallacies are rampant, but that's not your most egregious abuse. What's the logical fallacy when your entire argument is based upon personal, biased beliefs without any evidence whatsoever?

Here's an example:

First, I've stated multiple times that I have sent her money at times, when I had a good reason. I've also spent a lot of money on her, which is no different than if I was dating someone in my own age group, locally. When I wanted to take her scuba diving, I sent her money to get certified. There have been several times when I've sent money, although I haven't sent any money for over 6 months. As I've stated before it would make no sense to send her money at this time. Sending money requires a fee, and then the money would be where she isn't. What I've never done is get involved in regular monthly payments.

But the meat of the matter is that you believe it's impossible to date a girl 40 years younger, except as some variation on prostitution. That's your whole argument, you don't believe.

I'll spell it out again, step by step, how to get a girlfriend. This works wherever you are and works with younger and older women.

1. Find a girl who interests you, preferably one who is in no way involved in prostitution.

2. Talk to her. Talk about normal things, make her laugh, make sure she enjoys conversing with you. Get her interested in you as a person.

3. Take your time. Flirt, but lightly, don't push the conversation to sex. I spent 2 months chatting with her before sex became a topic and she's the one who brought it up. It took another year before there was any type of sexual contact and 2 years before we ended up in her bed.

4. Spend wisely. If she's throwing out prices for her attention, you're not getting a girlfriend, you're getting an ambitious hooker.

5. Show her the world that she's dreamed about.

6. Go back to step 2 and repeat all of the above.

You forgot to mention that you had been fucking hoes during those 2 years of playing a white knight role. Also, she was probably not of legal age when you first met her.

What you described looks like a sugar daddy. Sugar baby relationship, not a real BF. GF relationship.

You complain about logical fallacies and commit one in the process, false equivalence. Reminds me of V and his spelling errors while playing spelling police.

https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/...se-Equivalence

V put words in my mouth, and when called out for it put more in my mouth. I directed him to link me to the ISG posts where I made such statements about myself, and he told me to prove matters to the contrary while playing spelling police. That has no affinity to a mudslinging contest (ad hominems) on a thread where that's normative. You've played that game more and for longer than anyone else. That's why I call it your thread. Wink Therefore we can add hypocrisy to your missteps.

but that's not your most egregious abuse. What's the logical fallacy when your entire argument is based upon personal, biased beliefs without any evidence whatsoever?...
First, I've stated multiple times that I have sent her money at times, when I had a good reason. I've also spent a lot of money on her, which is no different than if I was dating someone in my own age group, locally. When I wanted to take her scuba diving, I sent her money to get certified.

Sending money requires a fee, and then the money would be where she isn't. What I've never done is get involved in regular monthly payments.

I've yet to see any evidence that this "girlfriend" even exists, while definitions of that word are fluid. Your personal stories don't count. They can't be verified, while you have motive to shade the truth as you have since last summer been trying to get the better of various disputes surrounding this subject. This while, in case you are wondering, I have no obligation to prove you don't have a young Colombian girlfriend. That's quite different logically than my asking someone to prove I made certain statements in the past. I either made those statements here or I didn't. If the statements exist, then proof is possible via research, but of course they don't. I can though have some educated opinions about your girlfriend subject.

Your typical geriatric male / very young female relationship involves money, and you admit that you are sending it, though with a 6 month break. I believe this is a modified or clarified position of what was an original claim that you aren't sending money, but I'm not sure. I don't read every word of your posts, while I skip many altogether, as many are very wordy. I'm not going back to read your entire 6 month flame war with MiamiBoy1. But if the "girlfriend" exists, I'd bet you've met a need many times within the last six months. Or maybe you've really quit sending money for that long and only think you still have a girlfriend. No one knows for sure, nor can they, as we are reliant entirely on an unreliable person, you, for information. But I have some opinions based on common patterns in overseas relationships with huge age gaps. And I'd even call the 6 month gap no send money claim "far-fetched" as well, if you have a "girlfriend" that still considers herself the same.

Regardless you still get to be the center of attention here, which I believe it's all ultimately about anyway. You've once again had the opportunity to brag about having a young girlfriend that loves you just for you, and not for money, but because you are such a prince of a guy, all while you brag about banging other girls including hookers behind her back. That's just more of the same grandiosity that you want all in a hooker forum to be aware of. But to your credit, you're willing to listen to the same self-aggrandizing nonsense from others judging by the company you keep, though that's mostly a trade off.

But the meat of the matter is that you believe it's impossible to date a girl 40 years younger, except as some variation on prostitution.

You've said before that FB is your go to method for finding girls in Medellin. That for members of this forum is typically a prostitution scene. You've often given advice about how to handle prostitutes in your hotel room. Was your purported girlfriend ever a prostitute? You can say no but that means very little. It can't be verfied. It would be very difficult to prove either way. I personally wouldn't believe anything you say beyond what I've personally observed.

I believe it's possible for a 20 year old woman to hook up with a man in his 60's who isn't providing financial assistance, as about anything is "possible" when it comes to human relations. Though it would be quite rare, and isn't the case with you.

I'm back to leaving you alone as promised. Admittedly I drew you back in when I dropped your name.

[JjBee62]

I don't recall that one, but assuming this isn't pulled out of your ass, and you really have messages so old, then you've just confirmed yourself a liar again. That's because since that's the soonest you have, then I'm certainly not at present trying to meet up with you as claimed.

And someone should just take your word for that? That also makes no sense as his posts were musings from the depths of the gutter long before then. Why a sudden about-face? I reported the posts and the same day they were removed.

Now this more than anything demonstrates what a major lightweight you are. You made the positive claims, so the burden of proof is on you. You obviously haven't passed any classes where the fundamentals of logic and debate are taught. You claimed that I, and in ISG, claimed to work for near minimum wage. Link us to the post where I said this, or even something like it. You also claim to have it on a "good source" that I stay in hostels. Prove it. Tell us about this "source," as I've never been in a hostel in my life. And we know it's not JJBee62 as he's denied that I said anything like that while he confirmed my preferred hotel. Those are positive claims made by you, and you can't slither out of them back peddling and calling them opinions. Step up to the plate.

https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/burden-of-proof

You are a liar. Elvis called it that and I corrected him. I just said you can get in there for rent in the low 30 dollar range per night. I also said that camped out full time there is inconsistent with your claim that you are traveling the world staying in luxury hotels.

That is an absolute lie. Link us to the posts here where I made these statements. I haven't spoken openly here one way or another about my education. I said I was of "modest means" and I am. The career I chose doesn't come with high salaries but I made far more than minimum wage and am now retired with a pension.

You also are a major lightweight when you play spelling police. LOL It shows you have no argument to make. But feel free to point out the "plethora" of errors. There's another positive claim so it's your obligation to prove it. I do make the occasional typo and missed comma, and rare misspelling, but this is informal. I'm not writing for publication. This of course has nothing to do with anything but yea, step up and prove it. "Plethora" LOL I sure garner a lot of attention from you and JJBee for someone you claim is so incompetent. LOL.

Wait a sec here. You say "I haved lived here in Medellin for 4 !/4 years. " What the fuck kind of sentence is that?? ROFL And where's the "proofreading?" It never fails. People who choose your so weak line of attack usually step on their dick in the process.

I couldn't care less about your very small sampling and anecdotes, or what you claim a couple of acquaintances told you.

https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/anecdotal

Rogue taxis are fairly common while Uber gives you a paper trail. It's the safer bet in Medellin. But you are so stupid as to think that because you allegedly haven't been jacked yet, and allegedly nor have your two drinking buddies, that it can't happen. That's the overwhelming consensus from Medellin travel related channels, whether a hardline or more optimistic angle on safety is taken. These represent much larger communities than you and your two pals, and they advise to take Ubers.

You certainly did. What is kidnapping but "keeping" someone? And you told everyone that there would be no need for the crooks to keep them if the balances connected to their bank cards were drained. But of course they can seek to have you replenish these accounts or contact friends and family for ransom. And FARC and ELN aren't the only ones up to this.

You could truly improve yourself if you stop lying, making stuff up, playing the feeble and desperate spelling police in online debates, or asking others to prove points when you are the one making the positive claims.

And you and JJBee both could improve yourself a lot if you'd quit whining when you get attacked, as you both are fond of attacking others. You are hypocrites, and only cry when you start getting banged around. Learn to take it if you want to dish it out, and learn to fight your own battles without relying on any help from an online crony.

By the way, a question, do you believe JjBee62 when he says he doesn't send his 20 year old Colombian "girlfriend" any money? I only ask because you made the case that cash payments, birthday gifts, etc. Make men in their 60's "look handsome. " Sounds like you and your flame war tag team partner might have a conflict of interest. Wink.

P.S. You answered the post point by point. That showed a bit of balls for a change. Now keep it up. You have plenty more work to do. Any reply may take some time as I'm leaving for vacation next week, and at some point I'll tire of correcting lies and logical fallacies so try to tighten up your game.

You characterized Hotel Dorado where I stayed for quite a while as a dumpy la 70 hotel.

You are a liar. Elvis called it that and I corrected him. I just said you can get in there for rent in the low 30 dollar range per night. I also said that camped out full time there is inconsistent with your claim that you are traveling the world staying in luxury hotels.

As to your employment, you stated once before that you had no advanced education (which is pretty evident from the plethora of grammatical and spelling errors you publish) and that you had no financial resources of any note.

That is an absolute lie. Link us to the posts here where I made these statements. I haven't spoken openly here one way or another about my education. I said I was of "modest means" and I am.

I haved lived here in Medellin for 4 !/2 years and have two other expat friends who have lived here about the same amount of time. None of the 3 of us have ever had a problem with the taxis here in Medellin.

So I rode a moto taxi again today. I was having lunch at a patio restaurant in barrio La Castilla. A normal comida típica, carne asada, beans, rice, fried egg, platano and salad, served with sopa de mazorca and jugo de guayaba.

Since I don't know the bus routes on that side of the river, I ordered a picap to get me to the terminal del norte to catch the metro at the connected estacion caribe. The dude showed up within 5 minutes and had a helmet for me to wear. I hopped on the back of his moto and held on with both hands to the bars undernewth the seat and put both feet on the pegs that are for the second rider and off we went. Flying in between cars and trucks splitting lanes and dipping into turns. The adrenaline rush is amazing. We passed by some cops also 2 on a moto and it didn't even matter (not sure if picap is legal or not). There's no way you can tell that we just aren't 2 dudes on a moto tho so it didn't matter. We made it safely to terminal del norte and the fare was $5,200 cop so only like 2 mil more than a bus ride.

Nobody on here seems to mention the MotoTaxi as a form of transport but if you aren't carrying any suitcase or anything it is a viable option and it's cheaper than a regular taxi or Uber.

There was just a noticiable earthquake about 2 hours ago. It woke me up and felt like my whole apartment was being shaken left to right for about 5 seconds.

A quick Google News search found an article on it as well says it's was a magnitude 4. 0 epicenter in Bello.

Same here woke me up as well. I've felt a few over the years and it's always a bit discomforting. I've never seen building inspectors or anyone looking at anything the next day either. I've only seen a building evacuated once and that was because there was a noticeable big crack in the side of the building. I don't remember if it was due to a tremor or not. But yeah, I've felt more here in 7 years than in my entire life.

"Anyone that walks around with 3-4000 usd in their pocket is a fucking idiot, plain and simple. In any country including the USA. ".

I've been all over the world (sans Afrika) and if I'm not in Latin America I carry even more Europe Russia Asia.

If you go to Deutschland for the FKKs I suggest you bring $9900 usd cash, 99 100's is easy.

I've never been robbed, prima facie evidence I'm much smarter than most of you fools.

I can walk thru the Bronx at night with 4 kusd in my pocket and not the Bronx in Mde not NYC LOL.

My cash is like the old AMEX tv commercials, I don't leave home without it.

I rather carry a pistol in MDE but cash is the next best thing.

Money is POWER never forget that!!

An ATM card is a poor substitute.

This is the text book definition of a Passport Pookie.

Guns, Bronx, big wads of cash, etc.

Ninjas carry large wads of cash to prove to Black women they ain't broke.

Who is spending thousands in German FKK's? I barely spend $300 between 3 Frankfurt area FKK's. Again this is to show off in front of prostitutes, like they do with strippers mainly Black women back at home.

These are the type of ninjas that need their passports taken from them until they unlearn all this bullshit.

[JjBee62]

OK this post proves it, you are a fucking idiot. You should never carry that much cash on you, you shouldn't even carry more than a cpl hundred usd on you at any given time. The smartest thing to do is carry an ATM card and go to the ATM and get enough money that you need out. Plus using casa de cambio to change cash you get ripped off so it is better to use a debit card to get a better rate and save money.

The $9900 usd comment is beyond stupid. I don't know you are being sarcastic or serious but bringing that much cash through immigration and customs into another country is liable to get the money confiscated by the immigration officers. The maximum you can bring into any country without having to declare it is $9999 usd. That's why they always ask on customs forms if you are carrying $10,000 usd or equivalent in cash because it must be declared. And anyone can see from watching those shows on TV that when you have anywhere near $10,000 even if it is a little bit less, the border patrol often thinks that it is drug money and tries to confiscate it for not being declared even if it's a little bit under $10,000. Even if they don't confiscate it they are going to question the fuck out of you.

You Marquis are an idiot and your posts prove it. And anyone who listens to you is also an idiot. People should carry maximum $500 usd or equivalent in cash no more than this amount and keep the rest in a secure bank account with your debit card so you can use the ATM to get more cash as needed during the trip. Carrying $9900 usd cash not only would be a hassle (what you going to do walk around with it in a duffel bag), you risk getting it stolen if someone were to rob you then the cash is just gone, and it will raise red flags with immigration who will think you are a drug trafficker.

You're late to the party on this one. He's never been to Colombia. Chances are he's never been outside the US. He just bounces around to troll on different boards.

Besides, anyone who has ever had a full stack of bills, whether $1's, $20's or $100's, would know that there's no way to comfortably carry it. That's a thick stack, too thick to comfortably fold. Anyone who has been outside the US would recognize the stupidity of carrying large amounts of US currency, when you'll lose money converting it to the local currency, or overpay. More than 1 guy has told the story about Medellin hookers asking for $100 or $200 USD, then accepting less than half the value in pesos.

I can think of a few situations where carrying $3-$4,000 in cash makes a certain amount of sense, but those are only situations when you plan on throwing the money away. Planning a big night at a casino, or a strip club? Maybe crossing off some bucket list items at a Nevada brothel? Bring plenty of cash and leave your cards at home, because many guys who do that end up getting big cash advances and spend much more than they budgeted.

[JjBee62]

Just a couple random questions:

Where is the best place near Lleras Park to buy Viagra?

Any recommendations for or against any of the casinos?

Thanks!

1. At any drug store. Prices vary, shop around.

2. I recommend against any casinos. The house always wins.

The $9900 usd comment is beyond stupid. I don't know you are being sarcastic or serious but bringing that much cash through immigration and customs into another country is liable to get the money confiscated by the immigration officers. The maximum you can bring into any country without having to declare it is $9999 usd. That's why they always ask on customs forms if you are carrying $10,000 usd or equivalent in cash because it must be declared. And anyone can see from watching those shows on TV that when you have anywhere near $10,000 even if it is a little bit less, the border patrol often thinks that it is drug money and tries to confiscate it for not being declared even if it's a little bit under $10,000. Even if they don't confiscate it they are going to question the fuck out of you.

You Marquis are an idiot and your posts prove it. And anyone who listens to you is also an idiot. People should carry maximum $500 usd or equivalent in cash no more than this amount and keep the rest in a secure bank account with your debit card so you can use the ATM to get more cash as needed during the trip. Carrying $9900 usd cash not only would be a hassle (what you going to do walk around with it in a duffel bag), you risk getting it stolen if someone were to rob you then the cash is just gone, and it will raise red flags with immigration who will think you are a drug trafficker.

If you walk around with 3000 or 4000 usd in your wallet, like many of us like to do.

Who is doing this? It just sounds supremely stupid. I mean, we mongers are, by definition, some of the dumbest guys in the world, but this is too stupid to comprehend. Maybe I can understand if you have that cash from the airport to your hotel, but it should be stowed in the safe by the point. There is no world where anybody should just be walking around with thousands of dollars anyway, even in the US.

Here are some simple tips for any brain-dead mongers who want to carry a ton of cash (I'm assuming most are here just to monger and not to buy expensive jewelry or something):

1) Keep one card for foreign expenses like food or souvenirs (pick a good one for travel rewards points like Chase Sapphire Reserve or CO Venture) and put a transaction limit on it so you can mitigate losses. A simple call can turn a robbery into a few hundred dollars loss as opposed to a maxed out card.

2) Keep only the cash you need for the activity you are doing. If you're going to spend 300 k for a cita, just carry 450 k if you want to tip and have some cash for something random.

3) Watch your surroundings when you withdraw money, do it during the day, and make sure they aren't any card stealing hacks on the machine (little cameras / mirrors or indent paper in the card reader). It's not as widespread as before, but just a little vigilance here is important. Never withdraw money when you are drunk. Use the ATMs inside the banks if you can.

4) Get a burner phone for the trip. Getting your phone robbed sucks, but some of us are not smart with our passwords and you can have a ton of your accounts bled dry if they get access to it. Getting drugged is worse because they can easily use your fingerprint to get access to most things. If you just "have" to use your expensive phone, buy an ugly case that at least hides it. Most people can easily see an IPhone 15 from the back, so if you cases hides the cameras, it might be just enough to dissuade them from grabbing it.

5) Everything else goes and stays in the safe. It only gets opened when you are alone or in complete control of the situation. Or follow step 2; if you are inviting a chica from online for 300 k, then pull out 300 k + whatever potential tip you would give and store the rest. Hide the money so you can give it after the deed, but at least in the worst situation you are out only the money you left out for her. If you have two safes (like in a 2 bedroom), one safe never gets opened unless you are alone and holds the majority of your valuables. The other can hold a little bit of money for when you invite someone over.

6) Invest in the proper apparel. Get a jacket that has zippers in the pockets. Get some pants that have real buttons or even a zipper in the pockets as well. I actually don't recommend a fanny pack because it just makes you look like a foreigner, but it is okay if you are vigilant. Again, you shouldn't be walking around with much more than 1 card, petty cash, a phone, and maybe a photocopy of your passport. No need for a bulky pack.

In the end, vigilance is the best remedy and I don't agree that you have to go all out to avoid every potential bad situation. Just take a lot of the simple precautions and preparation steps to mitigate your losses. As is the general case with security, it is impossible to be totally secure, you just simply need to make yourself a less attractive target than the drunk frat bro across the street.

"Anyone that walks around with 3-4000 usd in their pocket is a fucking idiot, plain and simple. In any country including the USA. ".

I've been all over the world (sans Afrika) and if I'm not in Latin America I carry even more Europe Russia Asia.

If you go to Deutschland for the FKKs I suggest you bring $9900 usd cash, 99 100's is easy.

I've never been robbed, prima facie evidence I'm much smarter than most of you fools.

I can walk thru the Bronx at night with 4 kusd in my pocket and not the Bronx in Mde not NYC LOL.

My cash is like the old AMEX tv commercials, I don't leave home without it.

I rather carry a pistol in MDE but cash is the next best thing.

Money is POWER never forget that!!

An ATM card is a poor substitute.
