Medellin Reports

[Ricker]

Yes it is a generalization.. I'm just saying it because I don't want every newbie to come into the game and "fall in love" and think you can "save the world". The odds of it are slim.. very very slim. It's the same all over the world in every country.. They're playing their game and we're playing ours.. Even the experienced will get taken.

BTW, it's the opposite in NY. Mexicans here are considered very hard working.. They work like dogs doing the heavy lifting for very little pay.

All true.

Though there are some sincere ones out there, you have to keep your guard up and be aware that you can easily be played.

I agree with you that if they start asking you for money, it's usually a bad sign.

I have offered to help girls in the past, but that's after getting to know them quite well, and still you're never sure.

I've been lucky with a few, but have also been the dumb schmuck.

Always keep your guard up and look for the signs.

Good luck

Meeting family means NOTHING. Sometimes they are even in on it to enhance the sob story. I met a girl for 2 days and she introduced me to her family.

That reminds me of when I first started visiting Colombia, I met this chica in Cali, a non-pro, she took me to meet her family, and the first moment her mother was alone with me she asked me "prestame 50mil pesos" (let me borrow 50K pesos), which really means, give me the 50K pesos, I was stunned.

I should have run right there, but I was new and dumb and caught up with this chica's beauty, so I hung around a bit longer to be abused more hahahaha.

(If you have the desire to help someone out and your gut tells you it's sincere, and of course you have the funds, you just do it.

You have to be aware that there's always a chance you may be fooled, but as time goes on you'll get a feeling for what's real and what's not.)

Yes Ricker all Macho stuff aside, I agree you must go with your heart.

This is my 1st trip and I LOVE the TERMA's in Brasil.

Looking for something similar.

Also how is the talent at the Mansion?

[Hioctane]

The non pro I talk with in BAQ is the same way .She writes me and then I go to translate it and the Spanish words are spelled wrong. When I try to explain this to her she just gets upset and thinks she is right. I can usually understand most of the words but still it is annoying.

If you used IM with ANYBODY.. your friends.. American girls or whatever, you know that slang and shortcuts are used ALL the time. It took me a while to figure out that "ke" = que.. They mix up their Vs and Bs. They usually type how it's pronounced.

I went to the Dollhouse for the first time last night. They spent a lot of money on the place. Personally, however, I wasn't too impressed. Too loud for my taste and the light show was annoying. Male dancers? Very weird. Don't pay more for bottles of liquor than the prices listed on the web site. For example, a full bottle of Ron Medellin should cost roughly 75K pesos (plus tax and tip). If somebody in your group has a VIP card, then you get 10% off. The restaurant had a very limited menu of hamburgers, hot dogs and quesadillas. I didn't see Frank there, but Aussie Greg and his posse were right behind us. The place seemed to start emptying at about 1 AM.

We left for Luna Lunera, and we were glad we did. While less luxurious than the Dollhouse, Luna Lunera easily beats the Dollhouse in the chica department. Perhaps last night was an unusually poor night at the Dollhouse. I really don't know. It was my first time at the Dollhouse. Maybe I will check it out again before I leave.

As far as "relaciones serias" with pros, why would you do that? I have nothing against pros. In fact, I like pros. However, there are 20 million women in Colombia. I'm not really interested in a serious relationship. If I were, then I would pursue one with an educated Colombiana from a "estrato cinco" or a "estrato seis" family who has a positive relationship with her father. That's what I would do, but other guys are free to whatever they want. Make no mistake about it, most Gringos seriously underestimate their market value in Colombia.

Headed out to to Bello this weekend.

You are comparing totally different things.. Dollhouse is supposed to be a regular club with hookers sprinkled in. It's similar to Mangos and Palmia. They have male dancers too. Luna is a stripcub/casa.. They have to have the hot girls to keep the customers. Dollhouse is for drinking and dancing.

[Hioctane]

I read all the reports and advice that our well meaning monger friends have given you about your question about the pro you want to take out of the business. As them I also had my share of heartbreaks spending lots of cash on pros I wanted to take out of the business just to find out they were just using me. But being that am either stupid or hopeful that there are good women out there needing an opportunity to get out of this business I am as we speak trying again with one in Colombia. The difference this time from the other ones is that she brought me to meet the family, and they welcomed me, I felt part of the family. Her mother explained the reasons my girl had to work and it was very sad, she cried of impotence and shame, seeing the way they lived broke my heart in so many pieces that I decided there and then that I would help them out not just for my girl but because of the things I had experienced with them, it was 4 families living in a 3 bedroom apt, my girl, her mom and 2 brothers slept in one bedroom just a tad bigger than a closet with just one bed.

I got them an apt and I send them money monthly for their personal expenses. The money I wasted on booze and mongering in Tijuana is now being invested in rent and food for my new inlaws in Medellin, her mom keeps me updated on how the money is spent she accounts for every peso without me having to ask. And I stay in constant contact with my girl, we talk or text 2 to 3 times a day not because I don't trust her but because she gets sad if she doesn't hear from me, I don't have any reason not to trust her. She promised me she would not go back to work and she hasnt. I know where she is at all times of the day, she gave me phone numbers to her, her aunts, uncles, cousins, both cell and home numbers, if I don't find her at home, I find her where ever she is. Her whole family knows me at least over the phone and the ones that don't know me in person are eager to meet me next time I visit Medellin in Aug. So the Moral of the story is, FOLLOW YOUR HEART, the good signs in my opinion would be, if your girl introduces you to the family, if she doesn't ask for much financially, if she tells you where to find her at any time, if you call her any hour of the day and always answers you with a smile and sounds happy to hear you she is worth the risk. Now I know our buddies will find all the flaws in my rescue plan as it is not fool proof. It is a risk anyway you look at it, but at least for me my girl is worth it, the experience is worth it and I know that she is waiting for me, as she puts it in "our own home, sleeping in our own bed". Good luck bro.

Meeting family means NOTHING. Sometimes they are even in on it to enhance the sob story. I met a girl for 2 days and she introduced me to her family.

Do what you want with your money. Believe what you want. Just so you know. Anything can happen when you're not there. Believing that her entire family will tell you a stranger the truth is just silly. If you really want to follow up on her. Befriend a local that doesn't know her and have him/her keep an eye on things.

IMO, the only true sign is if they don't ask for money. Even when they desperately need it. Pride will get me every time. Even that's not fool proof.

[Hioctane]

IMO, to say 'you can't take the hooker out of the pro' is just another generalization, just like saying 'all Mexicans are lazy', which I hear around my city, which is also ridiculous.

Yes it is a generalization.. I'm just saying it because I don't want every newbie to come into the game and "fall in love" and think you can "save the world". The odds of it are slim.. very very slim. It's the same all over the world in every country.. They're playing their game and we're playing ours.. Even the experienced will get taken.

This can't end well. If she really wanted "out of the life" she would have taken some the millions she is earning and go to nursing school, graduate, and then immigrate to the US on an H1B visa. Or something. She might quit for a while but the temptation to earn easy money while she can will be very strong if she is just sitting around an apartment someone else will pay for. And her old clients will be calling her. And offering a little extra for "just one more time, " when they find out she is out of the business. And maybe she will not trust you to keep the money coming and justify a few side tricks just to "save for a rainy day. " After all, she won't have her looks in five or ten years.

There was this Australian guy who was as gentle as Snoop. He found a girl in Indonesia and they left together to live happily ever and after in his hometown. After a while he discovered, that she picked up her trade in his hometown when he was travelling. There was also this ex-pro wife of an English guy. They stayed in Indonesia. When he's out of town, she kept meeting other men. Only now, it is she who chooses (the guy) without charging anything and sometimes the drinks are even on her. So other men take advantage of the generosity of hubby.

But, there's also this Dutch guy who married an Indonesian ex-pro years ago and according to him, everything is still perfect. He said the secret is to send money every month to her family and every now and then she accompanies him to Indonesia to avoid her to feel lost in the Netherlands. And maybe the possibility to mingle with the Indonesian community in the Netherlands, makes it easier for her to adopt living abroad.

Let's wait and see how things will turn for brother Snoopdog21.

[Ricker]

. IMO, you can't take the hooker out of the pro. No matter how much you give them, they will want more. Like others mentioned. Just look for a nice regular girl if you want to "save" someone and support them.

Well, IMO and from experience, you just can't lump all pros into one and say 'you can't take the hooker out of the pro'.

Once again, that's generalizing.

There are high end chicas that make the 'millions' that's being discussed here and there are the low end chicas that are happy to make a days food and a place to sleep, and many in between.

There are chicas that have been in the business for a long time, some that started yesterday, there are those that actually enjoy it and those that despise it. There are those that have kids and family members to support for survival and those that do it to live high end.

We all know of or have heard of guys being 'taken' by pros, and some of us have been on the receiving end of it.

Of course it happens, especially to less experienced and vulnerable guys.

I wouldn't limit these deceptions to the pros though, there are plenty of your so-called non-pros that know how to play the '"te quiero mucho mi amor" game, and play the game well.

I've seen more than several guys fall in love and even marry these 'regular' girls, bring them back to the US, with resulting divorce and financial hurt much worse than 'helping out' a pro, trying to help her out of the business.

Hey, I'm no expert, and I've been tricked in the past too, however, I've also helped a few pros (now ex-pros) in the past with funds for school and training and even housing, that turned out nicely.

I still keep in touch with them, one is actually a flight attendant for Avianca now, one is a book-keeper secretary, and one is married to a guy living in Belgium.

If you have the desire to help someone out and your gut tells you it's sincere, and of course you have the funds, you just do it.

You have to be aware that there's always a chance you may be fooled, but as time goes on you'll get a feeling for what's real and what's not.

IMO, to say 'you can't take the hooker out of the pro' is just another generalization, just like saying 'all Mexicans are lazy', which I hear around my city, which is also ridiculous.

Good luck out there amigos!

[Bliadun]

I was wondering if anyone knows resorts similar to Barba Negra (DR, Puerto Plata) in Bogotá and Medellín?

Clean and safe “in-house” chicas is a must for me. Fixed chicas rates are important. English speaking chicas would be nice.

Rent and food are not "investments," only mere consumables.

Hello, Team Medellin,

I am new to the team, having only been a voyeur of the form. I have done some time in Asia and throughout Europe (primarily FKK's in Germany), so do not consider myself a "newbie" to the hobby. Over the past few months I have made a few trips to Colombia, first for legitimate work in Bogota and Medellin, and more recently, to spend time with a specific pro. I have enjoyed my time with her, even to the extent of two trips to San Andres (which I recommend on its own merits).

I am considering taking her out of the game. I already know it is a crazy proposition, as I believe the temptation for a pro to make "just a little more" when a new Coach bag hits the shelf is difficult to overcome.

My question to the team: what should I consider as a monthly stipend significant enough to keep the pro out of the game? I have already proposed a nice El Poblado apartment + separate monthly stipend. I am a slave to the grind, so money is not the most significant issue. I am a man of principal, though I already appear to be breaking an important one. Don't fall for a pro.

I will have some intelligence to confirm or deny whether the pro is out of the game. I will also make a run for the south every month or two from the US. It will come to me as no surprise if the pro plays me. I would like to think I can walk if the circle of trust is broken. Yeah, I am nuts.

My last thought: why am I doing this? I have had a few lucky breaks in my life. For some reason, I want to give this pro a break.

I appreciate any insight the team may have. Ciao.

[Iguana Six]

Thanks team,

Many of the remarks you have made resonate with me. The best thing to do may be to let some time pass by while I treat the pro like a queen when I am in Medellin.

There must be something in the water. Lord knows what will happen if I go to Brasilia.

Cheers
