Medellin Reports

[AnarchyMD]

I checked out New Life to just get the check in the box. Attached is the price list. I thought it was interesting the specificity for time slots. The array of girls was dizzying. They brought them out in rapid succession and expect you to remember their name or number. My brain ain't that good but they worked with me to get the girl I wanted.

What is safer Medellin or Bogota?? I know a lot depends on you and how careful you are. But for the guys that have been to both, which do you find a safer place? My biggest fear is getting drugged or robbed.

I would say they are basically equivalent. The risk of getting drugged and / or robbed is proportional to your level of common sense. You won't get drugged like in a movie. You get drugged when someone puts something in your drink. Are you coming here to drink? I would seriously suggest you drink in the Sport's bar at San Peter with your homies. You should never be drinking with a girl in your hotel room or Air be-and-be. It will require you to be incredibly vigilant and suspicious all the time which surely will detract from your experience.

If you are smart enough to not drink with the girls and if you go to a strip bar, drink water with a screw top cap that you can keep with you at all times. If you do those things you aren't going to get drugged.

As far as getting robbed. Are you smart enough to keep everything of value in your safe? Or a locked up suitcase? Are you secure enough to leave your bling at home? Are you smart enough to NOT pull our your expensive cell phone every time it buzzes or chimes. Duck into a coffee shop or bakery to check your messages, if you must. Stay away from empty deserted streets. Cabs are cheap, really cheap.

You see, if you bring your common sense and realize you are in a country where half the population is very poor, so "no the papaya" (that is a Colombian saying which literally means don't "don't give papaya" meaning don't make yourself an attractive victim). Your junk wants to come here and play if you bring your brains along too you should have no real problems.

Fellow Marylander so here you go. Full service massage places on the upper floors of the mall directly across the street from the entrance to the Oviedo mall, which also has a full service massage place. Just a few blocks from Santa Fe. Usually you will get a CMT level massage with extras available. It's very expensive for Medellin and you will be negotiating extras during the massage when you are nude with a stiff dick. Not a great bargaining tactic. Massage itself can range a bit but last time I went it was around 175-250 mil for a hour depending on what massage place you choose. You can start negotiating whenever you want during the massage by rubbing her ass and pussy through her clothes. She will take the cue open with an absurdly high number but some dumb shits must pay it because it's cheap compared to here in the USA Counter at about a third of what she wants and see where it ends up. She will likely negotiate down but she knows that you having a raging boner and thus she has the upper hand. Don't assume she has a condom. Take one or 2. She probably will not fuck you without one. It's been awhile since I've been there so maybe inflation has hit these prices. All in expect around 500 mil. Outrageous for Medellin but they are in an upscale safe mall with a nice "office", you will get an CMT level massage and you are negotiating with a stiff dick. Plenty of cheaper options if you look on Mileroticos for massage but don't expect a CMT level massage just sex. Use Uber to travel. It's cheap and easy. Google translate is an amazing tool. Download it and learn how to use it. Have it handy while you are on the massage table to negotiate. Also learning a few key phrases in Spanish helps. Others have posted here which ones are useful. Lastly don't be flashy, drunk, or high in public and keep your street smarts sharp and listen to the inner voice if it is saying something doesn't seem right it's likely on target. Carry only what you need and if someone sticks a gun or knife in your face promptly hand over your valuables. Get a cheap burner phone.

It's called Rio Sur Mall. Level 4 towards the back is OM Spa for men. There are also 4-5 other places there too.

Medellin is safer. Don't take my word for it, ask the police.

There are fewer vendors under the metro overpass and Parque Berrio because they are no longer all squeezed against the barrier competing for foot traffic between the barrier entrances. That was brutal.

Definitely looks better. More police during daytime. They seem to be pushing the vendors out manually and keeping the place and park clean, turning around and pestering some people. Will see how long that will last. Even the market under Parque Berrio metro northbound is like 10% of it's former vendor size, or less, but groups of older locals still hanging around looking at nothing and themselves, since there aren't many vendors. Haven't noticed usual druggies and homeless hanging around in there around the second fountain either, seems like they are keeping them out as well.

Seen the police pushing out the WGs from the front of Veracruz too but's it's like grinding water, as long as police stands there and tells each one to move they move, soon as police is gone, WGs are back. Curiously they didn't have a problem with WGs front of Veracruz when the barriers were up.

As for mongering, I don't see benefits of no-barriers personally -- same hookers as always anyway just need to be more careful after dark inside plaza, since robbers heave infinitely more ways to escape now and that's about it, probably won't be hanging out in PB until late night as I often used to but will see.

Oh man, I know the place you mean. It was and maybe still is called Yakuza. It's always been rough. I have run into a handful of diamonds in there over the years but you have to scratch through a whole lot of coal in that joint.

There is no casa there afaik. Closest casa to veracruz is next to hotel desesos (which is shit) and then armonia (I think that's the name) nearby.

In Texas only good guys have guns. Forgive that off topic political messaging. Back to the matter at hand, I feel like there is more than enough safety information floating around mainstream and punter forums to equip even the most casual short term visitor with the tools needed for personal security. There are no sure fire 100% effective protection measures. There are effective ways to control the risk and, if applied consistently, Medellin can be made as safe as any comparable city. My advice to anyone who is so nervous about it they don't feel they can relax enough to enjoy their time here is to go somewhere else. Every few days someone comes on here to tell us they are, to paraphrase, "done with this fucking place. " I don't understand the need to be the person who has to loudly slam the cinema hall door on the way out of a movie they don't like but whatever. I wish everyone a fun and safe existence wherever they decide to go.

Right, and this topic started as a response to what TexasPistol said right here a couple days ago

.

He went on to say that anything other than brothels is "russian roulette" because taking a girl out dancing runs the risk of looking down the barrel of a gun. I responded that the danger *particular to Medellin and what sets Medallo apart from the rest of the world, is that the danger comes from the Chicas and drugs into drinks. He disagreed. So you are commenting on the tail end of an exchange. Mr. TexasPistol. Who is from Texas presumably. Feels comfortable going to the grocery store and out to dinner in the Lone Star state ,but Medellin is Russian Roulette, Nah.

go to the "erotic massage salons" aka brothels. Anything else is Russian roulette. Unless you enjoy that kind of danger, excitement, living on the edge situation, don't do it.

I've lived in Medellin for 7 years as well. Posting about violence in Texas is irrelevant to what happens in Medellin. I have a residence in the USA as well in a city with very little crime and I don't use it as a reference point for Medellin either. There is crime all over the world, but the subject at hand is Medellin, Colombia.

Here is one of many websites dedicated to the weekly robberies and shootings throughout Texas. https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/tag/robbery/. You might have been one of those people who stayed home to stay safe during Covid. God bless you. Stay safe. Only go to the massage houses and private apartments if you think that makes you safer. To me it is silly af to live your life that way. I live in Medellin for 7 years, what am I going to do stay home? LOL.

Incoming Moron Weekend Warrior.

I'm travelling to Medellin soon and will be staying in the El Poblado area (near the Santafe Mall). I don't speak any Spanish. I'm mostly interested in full service massage places (or brothels, if they exist). I'm pretty comfortable with the protocols in the US when it comes to getting extra services in massage parlors, but I'd appreciate any tips in Medellin. Is it legal there or do I have to be discreet. If I wanted an hour massage that includes Full Service, what would the total cost be (session cost + tip).

Thanks for any advice. I did scroll through the pages here before posting this. We have a similar forum where I am (Maryland) and I know to RTFF first.

Well this is new. A casa right next to all of the street walkers and Centro bars? Are you sure you are not thinking about one of the many short time hotels in the area? First time I hear anyone ever mentioning a casa being in there.

There is no casa there afaik. Closest casa to veracruz is next to hotel desesos (which is shit) and then armonia (I think that's the name) nearby.

Consider this armed robbery caught on video at the Click Clack Hotel 37 #10 A 29, El Poblado, a 5 star luxury hotel a few blocks from Parque lleras and Provenza. On the night of February 25, 2023 two men pulled up next to the hotel restaurant on a motorcycle, one entered with a gun and demanded valuables from the guests and then fled on the motorcycle driven by his accomplice.

How likely is it that you'll have the business end of a gun pointed at you while having a night out in El Poblado? No one knows. Many crimes are not reported. But it does happen.

Even the working girls in Colombia are traditional in that the man approaches the woman first. Especially in public, not sure if you expected them to cat-call at you or what. When times where slow they would and those are the ones to avoid. Also depends on the time of day or night. Some of these girls spend like 10 hours a day standing there waiting. Trust me they're not shy, they're just bored. Any girl just loitering around that area is working. You can tell if they're on their way somewhere. I just go up and see what they are like, flirt etc and get a phone number.

I don't want to sound like a complete wet-behind-the-ear newb, but how does Parque Lleras work. I walk around there and it's dead as fuck. The only people approaching me are doormen trying to get me to pay for over price drinks. All the chicas are on their cellphones tiktoking it up or some shit. What am I missing about this place?
