I will get flamed for this, but I'm at a stage where if I want to reschedule my trip, I need to do so soon. Please be gentle.

How to fat gringos fare with the ladies of Colombia (Medellin). I have read somewhere that, as long as you are clean and well-groomed, you should be fine, but can anyone confirm?

I'm early 40's, overweight but not obese. I had planned to lose weight and emerge from the plane in Medellin as a new, slim, butterfly. But I'm losing 2 lb per week and at that rate I'm still going to be overweight (c. 180 lb, 5'7' If I would have more success, and more fun, with another 15-20 lb loss, I can hold off until Christmas. It has been 20 months since my last encounter with a lady so I wanted this trip to be one to remember. I don't want to get there and find that I'm snubbed by the ladies LOL.

Before you travel especial in the covid moment, it is wise to know the government / city restrictions of the Destination you want to travel.

Make sense?

[MarcoPatz]

Can some help me here with restriction information's? I not found websites that gave me information on that most are UK government sites.

What are in the moment now the covid restrictions in Colombia Medellin, Bogota?

Are there contact restrictions or is it allowed to invite 2-3 girls in private house (rent)?

Allowed to make indoor party in private house?

Other restrictions or curfews there? Nightlife restaurant, Bars are closed or open? Wearing masks in shops?

I need good detailed information before I travel to a country.

I fly next Wednesday to Cartgena for my first trip. Can somebody please verify that no COVID test is required to fly into Colombia, only one is required to fly back to the US?

Thanks in advance.

It's not required, but I wish people stopped asking this question in all the wrong places. There is nothing more fluid than travel restrictions in this day and age. You MUST check the primary source.

As of this post no COVID test required to enter. Only negative antigen covid test required to reenter the US.

But with the Mu variant things can change at any time. Keep your eye on the Colombia embassy site.

You can go to the COPA Airlines website where they have COVID info widget or whatever it's called. Try it, it's very easy and for sure up to date but someone here should reply shortly too.

Medellin, he decided to leave after having a argument with girlfriend and wondered the streets at night alone.

Maybe we drank to much and was a victim.

Thanks for the additional info. I figured it had to be somewhere outside of CTG.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but in Youtube Videos I see, that most People wear Masks in public spaces.

Is this mandatory? Or are the People just so responsible?

Is there a need to wear medical masks in public? Because I could not find any information on that topic.

Its a gray area.

When I was in CTG there were some with and without. In the discos only the gringos wore masks, no chicas wore masks. In restaurants only the workers wore masks, patrons didn't. When walking around outside some had them on around their chin some had them fully on, some had none but when entering stores like Exito the security guard will tell you to put it on. This was all in CTG though so I'm not sure what the mask enforcement is outside of CTG.

A Bronx mother is mourning over the death of their beloved son who was reported missing while on vacation in Colombia.

Felix Jose Almanzar, 31, would call his parents Francisco Torres and Dianna every morning at 7 am.

They say they didn't get their routine wake-up greeting from him and instead spent their Thursday evening delivering the devastating news to loved ones that their son's body was found.

The 31-year-old was vacationing in Colombia with his girlfriend and a group of nine friends. On his third day in the country, his family reported him missing once they learned that he didn't return to his hotel room after getting into a fight with his girlfriend early Saturday morning.

They say his body was found in another hotel three miles away from where he was staying.

Torres tells News 12 that his stepson was identified through his tattoos. He says he believes he encountered the wrong people..

Torres tells News 12 that his stepson was identified through his tattoos. He says he believes he encountered the wrong people.

He says both he and his wife tried to convince their son not to go to Colombia because they felt it was dangerous, but believed he shrugged the concerns due to how cheap the flight was.

The Bronx family is now working with Colombian police and the Embassy of Colombia of New York to obtain surveillance footage from the hotel where his body was found.

They say the case has been identified as a homicide. Their focus is on getting his body back to the Bronx, where they can say their final goodbyes.

Attention all of us seniors. Does Medicare cover multiple PCR tests? Representative at Medicare stated that they covered one test but did not know about additional ones. I could use the additional money to give the chicas a raise.

Colombia does not require a PCR test anymore and the USA only requires an Antigen test as of 2 weeks ago. So why a PCR test?

After 13 years you have not learned to weed out the chicks that may ask for money? In 16 years I definitely have. But it has not always been that way. Unlike you, I fault the guys and not the women. Reading this website you should realize how many guys insist on "paying" women although they do not ask for money? Same thing in those sites; guys go around offering money so the sharks responded to the blood in the water and now there are more chicks there that are looking for money.

Yes it's true. I have changed my tactics a lot. I was too much a pay-er when I had easy access to good salaries for little actual work. For years. But low prestige on that work. Now I have a restricted budget, but interesting work in academics and art. I feel self confident so I attack without artillery (money) support, loose many battles, but when I win, it's my own victory, not my thick wallet, like it was many times before, to a degree that a serious relationship was so frustrating because I wa# addicted to easy sex. We all deserve such times in our lives, but it took over my life.

I even like my new lifestyle so much I want to move to Colombia or Venezuela. Venezuela is like east-Germany 1989.

Prepagos and gringos also tells me about the trend among girls / couples to have Gringo boyfriends, who can visit when they can, just keeping them separate. Each one send a million pesos a month. To the girl- and her lazy immoral novio!

So, yes we spend them away to fool us in childish ways and it works like well it seems.

The competition is fierce. I interpret the guapas of doing that, on there profile text, it says " come and pay mine and my lazy partner's life! Just like Poland 1989. You coulkr buy a wife for a few dollars and everyone was into it. It is a version o& that here. Venezuela's crisis is just the latest example of Latin mismanagement of politics.

It seems that these countries are stuck in a dependency role, often led but a bunch of crazy crooks. So Latinas will continue to be available in great numbers. Today Venezolanas, next crisis might be a Brazilian crisis.

On micro level, it can be a good idea to move to Colombia or a re vitalized Venezuela. If you are location independent. I've seen nerds doing it for years, marrying the neighbourhood most desired girls, in Estadio and Laureles.

Well. Discipline is important. I wasted money, yes. On the other hand, I took learning Spanish seriously, so younger guys betters looks was defied by old me, simply because I could communicate properly with the guapas. That also mean# local paisa friends.

Actually my best female friend is looking around fo4 a serious novia for me. Amazingly, it can happen that she present a very attractive and somewhat serious girl to me. What a luxury. It's quiet normal, but in Medellin, with her standards, she just might present a stunning lady, " just tell me age ankr preferences and I find her". And in Medellin it can happen, in any other country, yes with a leftover girl, in Medellin, with a stunner!
