About the Facebook thing, if you want to keep this separated from say the activity that your coworkers, friends and family see, then here are a couple of tips. Absolutely you would be better off with a separate profile. This is getting harder to do because FB has tightened up on fake and duplicate profiles. Also you have to start over. So here are a few tips if you choose or have to stay with your primary profile.
In Facebook you can choose who sees your post as was stated earlier. This is important too because if a chica can see your post than they can "like" of even comment on your posts and your whole Facebook world might then take notice. You can have a set group of friends who see your posts, yes it is a pain in the ass but once you do it once, you do not have to do it again. You can separate your friends into categories, say you put all your chica friends into the category of "acquaintances" , then when you go to post "I am on a flight to Medellin" go to the box where you make a post, click on "create a post" then in that box that pops up there is another box that wants you to say who you are posting to it might say "Public" of "Friends" etc, if you click on that box a drop down box opens and you can scroll down and see "acquaintances" . Disclaimer: I have never tested this. You can also create your own groups. You want a group that says "Medellin" you can do this. When you click on someones profile and you see the box that says you are "friends" you can click on that box and drop down opens, says "close friends" "acquaintance" scroll down and it says add to another list, click that and at the bottom of that is an option that says "new list". , type in say Medellin and that creates your medellin list and it will be a new option everytime you add another friend.

Posts: 1043Experiences with DiDi transportation
I used DiDi for travel around Medellin after Uber shut down without any problem until yesterday. I requested a car to go from Laureles to the airport bus stop near San Diego mall. I exited the apartment with my carry on bag, sat it down, and went back to get my other bag, which was just inside the door. As I came out, the driver was driving away. He had just arrived as I brought out my first bag, so it wasn't a waiting time issue. The app showed free cancellation of the request. I then requested another DiDi car. A driver accepted, but after waiting about five minutes, the app showed he had not moved. I cancelled and requested a Cabify taxi.
I recall someone else posted about problems getting DiDi to go to the airport. Seems they don't like taking luggage. I didn't know DiDi was a Chinese company. Because of that, I will not use them when I return to Medellin. I will use Uber or Beat.

Second, they know where the gringos like to stay. They are more than happy to take the trip in order to get paid. Most will expect you to pay for the taxi.
There's always the metro plus taxi option. It's much faster, especially during peak traffic, and cheaper.

Beat is, I think, an Argentinian app, very similar to Uber. You have to tip in cash, and you can't program in multiple destinations (you can do almost the same thing by changing the destination along the way and it repeatedly re-calculates the fare), but otherwise it's the same. I couldn't get my US card to work with it so had to set up a Colombian card. ALL rideshare apps in Colombia allow you to pay the driver cash BTW. Beat is 20% or so cheaper than Uber.
Picap gives you the option of a car or a motorcycle to pick you up, which is useful for cutting through Bogota's insane traffic. If you choose the car option, prices are in line with Beat. The motorbike option is about 20% cheaper than that. I had the same card issues with Picap as with Beat.
Cabify and Easy Taxi are both apps that will send you a yellow taxi. I avoid those for that reason. They are also more expensive than Uber.
DiDi is Chinese, drivers don't like it so a lot of them don't drive it. I also wouldn't give a penny to the Chinese government so I've never used it.
There's also InDriver, where you offer a certain price to go to a certain destination. I've never used it personally.
And finally there's a new app called Treas that someone handed me a pamphlet for a couple weeks ago, but I have no further info on it.

This is a great idea. I was originally going to say, before this Eureka moment during this post I'm typing out, that my regular fb friends would think it's weird that I'm posting my trips to MDE, and it's awkward if noone replies or likes the post. But if I made the post only visible to mde chicas, that's a lot better.

Posts: 50Bello, Antioquioa
For those here, that mostly stay at El Poblado or Parque Lleras, do you ever message your FB chicas who live in Bello, Antioquioa?
It's kind of a hike, like at least 30 min or so. If you do, do they usually go along with it and drive to your apt / hotel, etc?

Posts: 3228Small town women v the big cities
Four times since I have been in Colombia (I thought it was 3 but I remember another time), there have been women who didn't want a gift when I was done with them. Looking back on it, three out of the four times the women have done so, they were from smaller cities, Villavencio, Porto Colombia, and Necoclia. The weird part is that after being with two of them one time, they were ready to declare me their life long love.
I am not sure how to divide Colombians. The Colombians themselves do it with Rolos, Paisas, and Costenos. I have to say that I haven't noticed it as much being to three of the big four cities in Colombia: Barranquilla, Medellin, and Bogota. For all the Colombian stereotypes, all places had beautiful women, and I didn't notice that much of a difference in the attitudes of people culturally among those three groups, but I did with the big city versus small town girl.
I guess people I could RTFF and see what people say about small town or maybe smaller town women. Unlike the big city women who seem to be telling you what you want to hear and give you the illusion of passion, with the small town girls, it seems more real. I was curious if others have noticed the difference between big city and small town girls, and if anyone who has traveled to Colombia, has visited a few of the towns where there is abundance of the gold that is the small town girl.

Posts: 50Contacting FB chicas
Thanks. I was in my head too much trying to figure out what their response is when a fortyish-looking guy on FB is contacting their 21-year old self, saying, Let's meet, I want to see you.
Don't want them thinking that I'm trying to go at it at the pure civilian level, and then ignore me, like "what the hell, you're too old to date".
But then I realize, most of them have been probably having P4P relp's for a while, so they know my intent when they see my profile and message.
I'll just be straightforward, but ease into it of course.

You can't really base much on their pictures.

Posts: 50Question (not report) for those using FB for Arranging visits
Please let me know if this is not the right place to post this. The section is "Add Report", but this is not a trip report.
I've got about 20 FB contacts now, and was wondering if you have criteria upon which you decide which ones to start talking to, a couple of weeks out from your MDE trip.
There are certain women that have Bar Poas as a FB friend, or one such as: Medellin Rob or something, forgot.
And there are certain of them, that just outright has some rated are pics, like in a g-string.
Can you pretty much assume, they'd be down for meeting you, in the above categories?
I also have some that have pics of kids and don't see a daddy, so part of you thinks: "hmm, she probably needs some financial help with that."
