Medellin Reports

[JayToStore]

Hey amigos,

I will be in Medellin shortly. Just to improve the quality of pick this time planning to hire a wingman. Please DM me.

Nah bro, when I asked the question I was looking for the truth & not some comment from a guy looking to not hurt my feelings so much appreciated. The good thing is I got to see and experience la setenta so I've checked every box except anal on this trip.

Dating is always hit or miss.

That girl was clearly disrespectful. It is never OK for a stranger to ask out a girl to dance. If the man is an acquaintance in a house party, he would ask for your permission. A nice girl will never accept because she would not want to disrespect you (exception maybe been a family member of yours).

I took out a paisa out for drinks in parque lleras. This Colombian mafioso type came over and tried to talk to the girl. She politely smiled, looked away and we ignored him until he went away. Clearly he was disrespecting me. But been in a foreign country. I was not getting into a fight over a chick I just met. We got drunk and I Took her back to the hotel but neither of us had a condom; so called her an uber and never met again.

This is not normal behavior anywhere. The least that she should have done was ask you if you minded if she danced with someone else. The fact that the other guy danced with her while you were away makes it more likely that she will get dance offers.

In Colombia, when a girl is on the dance floor, especially dancing Salsa, a guy can ask to dance. It's up to her to reject the proposition out of respect for the guy she's with. Colombianos don't take offense to it.

[Queens35]

This is best answered by a Colombiano who really knows what is normal behavior in Colombia. Anyone else doesn't really know what is normal for them.

I guess you don't know that making 2 or more trips to Colombia makes gringos experts on all this Colombian.

I totally agree. I have dated over 100 non-pro Colombians and out of those maybe 2 have wanted to go out dancing. Less than 10 have wanted to go to any bar or out drinking at all. With most, going to eat, maybe going to a movie, and going home or to the hotel to relax is all they want. They have regular jobs and just want to relax when they are not working. I think the ones that wanted to go out were mostly students.

I second your agreement. Aside from Cali, which is in its own class, the other cities in Colombian don't really have a huge dance culture. Sure, you can find good clubs in Medellin to go out dancing, but you can find that in any similar-sized city in the World.

I was wondering if anyone had some hotel recommendations for where to stay in Medellin for a good mongering trip. I have been reading alot on the forum and it seems getting a hotel in the 50-60 $ price range per night near El Pobldo and Parque Lleras seems to be the best option. I also don't plan on bringing any WGs back to my hotel but rather just take them to a short time hotel. Is this the best way to do things in Medellin? I also don't have Facebook, Am I making a mistake by not looking for girls on Facebook? Will it be easy enough to find hot talent without facebook? Any recommendations on how to get top talent in Medellin? Good casa or strip club locations? Also are there any good bars / clubs where its easy to score semi pros? Mid 30's white guy, decent shape, little Spanish here. Am I better off just sticking to the WGs and not wasting my time with the semi pros? Any advice is greatly greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance and sorry if I am beating a dead horse with these questions.

She did not dance with the one who bring her.

Definitely not normal. I've gone out dancing hundreds of times in Medellin and Cali, as well as other Latin countries. . If a girl goes out with a guy to a dance club, she will not dance with other guys unless she oks it with the guy. Or unless she's purposefully trying to be nasty or get rid of the guy.

In fact, this is way less common than it is in the US, where in some dedicated dance places, it can be normal practice.

So how exactly does one go about meeting these girls? I've made friends with some girls on Facebook. How safe is it? Is there an area that one should stay at where most of these girls live? Or is Uber around so they can come to you at any time?

You are responding to a post that is talking about SWs or Street Walkers, Facebook is a different topic. So since this is a post about SWs, and you are asking "so how do you meet them?' It starts by being on the street that they are walking right? Then you walk up to them and say 'estas trabajando?' and if they say "Si" then there you go, you've met. The problem here is that you are trying to get information by reading one post our of the hundreds that address your question, but I am going to help you answer some of you own questions by telling you how to use some of the tools of this forum. The most simple thing is that you jumped into the middle of a conversation, so to go back to the beginning of the conversation you click on 'view original post'. If you do this you go back and get your question answered "Is there an area where one should stay at where these girls live?" At least that would answer the question about the SWs that the post you are referring to is talking about. But I am not convinced that you new that, so if not I suggest that you take the time to read back a minimum of three months on this thread, so you can play catch up. Also learn to use the 'search thread' tool so that if a subject, location, etc interest you then you can search posts related to that subject. And lastly go back to the front page of the forum and study the definitions so that you know what RTFF stands for. You have homework now.

The critical importance of dancing (salsa, bachata, cha cha cha, whatever) to have a successful social life in Latin America is regularly exaggerated on this site. Note that I say it's an exaggeration rather than an untruth. It is more important in direct proportion to how much time we spend with girls who hang out in discos and clubs. People who have weekday jobs can't go clubbing (rumbear) as often as those who don't or who make their living in clubs.

I have a general question about regular chicas in medellin.

So I went on a date with a non pro, we toured la setenta and at the end we went to a salsa bar. As I went to buy drinks I come back seeing the chica dancing with another dude, she claims its "normal behaviour in Colombia" but I was upset and we went our separate ways after that, I paid the taxi like the good little simp that I am smh. So, is this normal behaviour in Colombia?

Definitely not normal. I've gone out dancing hundreds of times in Medellin and Cali, as well as other Latin countries. .

I think you got it right. I personally don't go to salsa clubs or discos because they bore me. I would rather read a book, fuck, or enjoy a good meal (something without arepas and deep fried items).

It's about personal preference. If you like going to dance clubs then absolutely it's important to practice and invest the time to be able to win dance offs.

I don't think there are any norms whatsoever when it comes to Colombia women, however my guess is, and don't take this the wrong way as I am not trying to demean you, but if she was into you, I doubt she would of been dancing with another guy like she did.

I'm travelling to MDE tomorrow and just saw the Airbnb house rule "strict prostitution policy". I'm sure that I can handle it. This is Latin America after all. Has anyone had similar experience?. Or any advice how to deal with it.

I always make sure that the airbnb allows guests. I have seen many that say that its because they are trying to attract the family market. I would find a backup place!

Itś generally safe if you have common sense and street smarts (which not everybody has). There are many different ways to meet chicas. It depends on your budget, comfort level with the local culture, and what modes you prefer. Some people only do FB chicas by the hour, others do strip clubs, and some (like me) are bottom feeding penny pinchers who prefer the street scene. Your budget, and what modes you prefer would determine where you stay at.

Yes, was referring to SWs. Was following up to your post about ground zero (Carrea / Calle 52) a. K. a. La Veracruz. To be sure, on previous trips I had done very little at la Vera, so the previous prices (50k60 k) reflected the experience of a handful of times, with the better looking of the bunch.

On Americans and Venezuelans: people complain about how Americans (including mongers) drive up prices, which I suppose was happening in Mede, but the Venezuelans are having the contrary effect. So itś a tug of war, deflation vs inflation. If most Americans are not going to la Vera, then the Venezuelans are winning (deflation), and true, its a bonanza for the gringos who do venture out there. Same is happening in Bogota, probably all over South America.

I have heard many Colombians gripe about how Venezuelans are taking their jobs since they are willing to work for lower wages.

It must be true. Even pop music says so. From the Cardi be song (translated to English):

I like Puerto Ricans, I like Cubans (rrr).

I like the Colombian accent (what happened then?

How the Dominican moves her ass (what?

The good thing that Venezuelans fuck me (woo!

[Frogg]

More Venezuelans showing up than Americans, not sure what you mean here, are you saying there are more American Mongers showing up than Venezuelans? As far as customers for all of the SW's in El Centro, it's my guess that over 98% of the customers are locals, versus foreigners.

As far as pricing, were those prices for SW's you were getting up to almost three years ago? I have never gotten quotes from any of the SW's in EL Centro in the 50 to 60 K range for a rato. I have been quoted as low as 15 K up to 35 K by the Colombians within the last three years. Pricing does fluctuate with the SW's as you know, especially when they quote foreigners, thinking that the foreigner might not have a clue as to what the going rates are, and I believe there are a lot of clueless mongers in El Centro. I experience the inflated price quoting from time to time, and can't fault the SW's for trying, but when I call them on it, they don't like it, and I typically don't go with them, unless they can convince me otherwise.
