Medellin Reports

[BKKguru]

Many of the airbnb's are in buildings with only a few apartments, making it not cost efficient to have a doorman. The downside of the small buildings is that some have long-term residents who like to spy on what goes on in the building. Usually, it is older, single women who raise a fuss about guests.

These older residents should not be ignored. They are very protective of their building.
Some are quick to call reinforcements i.e. neighbors or relatives staying close by.

I plan to spend 4-6 weeks in a Spanish language immersion school and my hope is to find a "girlfriend" while there. I really am not interested in hitting the casa's or street ladies. I am fortunate to have a healthy budget for this and plan to seek an AirBnB near the school. I would welcome suggestions for for finding an affectionate girlfriend, attractive mid-30's (don't care for the too young ones) who understands I won't be staying in Colombia or bringing her home.

You might try an app named "Tagged". I haven't subscribed to it yet, so I don't know the response rate. It allows you to search any age group.

From experience, I think a majority of the airbnb's do not have a doorman. Almost all, if not all, of the high-rise apartment buildings have a doorman.

Portero is the term used for doorman in Colombia.

Does all,

The apartments have a doorman / front desk who asks for IDs of you guests? Reading the forum I think it's a hassle. Not planning to do anything illegal, but I just don't like to face someone with a new girl every time I'm going back to my place.

The front desk is very familiar with the process. The girls register and I get called that they are on their way to see me. Works for me

In the original post of yours, you state and admit that "The Veracruz area takes time to mine, so if you want to find something nice you may have to spend at least a few hours hanging around. " Again, in terms of cost-benefit ratio, casas would be much efficient for similar or better service.

There is a difference between going to a supermarket to buy fruit vs. exploring the country asking farmers to show their best products.

First option is quicker, easier, and definitely not time consuming. The second is not for everyone, takes time, effort, patience, but the satisfaction that may give is priceless.
To each his own.

It all depends on the individual. I've been with guys who visited 4 or 5 casas looking for the best girl, then settled on one, because they were tired of looking and didn't want to go back to the first casa.

There were times when I was walking Veracruz and almost immediately saw a girl I liked. Other times I would make 3 laps without seeing any gems. For me it never mattered. I walk El Centro because I really enjoy walking El Centro.

The "cost-benefit ratio" isn't worth much, because everyone has different criteria for the "benefit. " Some guys enjoy the walk and selection process, some enjoy haggling with the girls. Some want the grubby and gritty side of mongering, while others want clean sheets and a hot shower. Some guys want to sit and enjoy a beer while taking time to make a selection.

Whatever scene makes you the happiest is the best scene. For you.

There are members on this board that do not patronize casa's and I am one of them.

If you have never done the Veracruz scene, how would you know whether similar or better service can't be obtained there.

I was offering some advice to one of the other members in case they wanted to further sample the Veracruz area. This advice was not based on a comparison to casa's, or how quick a "hottie" could be found.

In terms of better service from the Veracruz girls versus the casa's, well for me I have a stable of girls I have developed over the past several months in the Veracruz area I enjoy.

So imagine having none of the constraints typically found in the casa's, like the set fees for time spent, no private room with shower except in the higher end casa's, and rules, etc.

Every body rolls differently, and if you like casa's there's nothing wrong with that.

Actually on late Sunday afternoons there can be a lot of part-timers that come out looking to make some money. Additionally, the best hours on weekdays are from about 4 to 6 PM, lots of girls want to make some money and get out before dark. Just my observations.

The girls fucked up when they got greedy and went for the TVs. Even if they hadn't been noticed when they were, the victim could have gone back to store security for the surveillance video. If the girls had gone away after they got the cash they might have gotten away with it. I'm very pleased they did not get away with it.

As long as what we're doing is legal. Bring it. Could care less.

Planning a trip to Colombia, I want to visit Bogota and Medellin from August 3rd to 13th. I was planning to be in Medellin first and then Bogota and I just found out there is Feria de las flores during that time. Does that affect the mongering scene and nightlife? Should I avoid that time or it really doesn't matter? Thanks.

That could be largely true, but there are few girls Sunday- Wednesday, and you may not see a girl you like after walking around 3-4 hours. In terms of cost-benefit ratio, it is not worth spending hours looking for a gem at Botero / Veracruz. Going to casas would make more sense.

Go to casas around 10-11 am if you want to see the best available lineup.

I think it better between 12-2 pm because 10 am not all casas is open and some girls coming later.most of the times before if i start early i not get some good lines.Like example today I want check out dona esneda sala de masages and la casa de dona fanny I arrived 11 am but both was closed I ring the bell of one casa but nobody open I walk to other one near and knock a door some locals was standing near and they told me its open just from 1 pm I really was surprised. So I walk to divinas and take here cute girl her name was diana from Colombia 50 k - 30 minutes.she was good. After I meet other member from ISG and we have a walk at veracruz and raudal but I could see anything I like just other guy collected some girl number.i not ready to waste couple of hours to find a girl as this areas if its not available quickly to find. like somebody said its easier go casa. After we hit some casas but I see the girl I like just at new life her name was Lucy from Colombia so spend 30 minutes with her.
