Medellin Reports

What is a 'gorda' ?

Fat. You don't speak Spanish? Wow. Also there is google.

Who will be the first brave pioneer to explore Itagui?

Glad there's some members out there that know exactly what I'm talking about. BTW, I recently bought an apartment out by the area you just mentioned within walking distance to Puerta del Norte and Niquia station, best decision so far. Anyways, per Balboa's advice let's stop talking about Bello haha. It's our little secret LOL. Let's just keep the status quo: Bello is dangerous and ground zero for kidnappings and gang wars, so don't come out here for your own safety. Please stay in Poblado and Laureles (no offense).

Men commonly wear shorts at gymnasiums, swimming facilities, resort areas, and around barrios on weekends. Typically, men who are 40 or older wear shorts less frequently and very rarely around barrios. Once the sun goes down it is very unusual to see men wearing shorts anywhere. There are a few exceptions. Board short length jeans worn with oversized t-shirts are a recent fashion trend among the young thugs who hang around Plaza Botero and other barrio spots. Most guys who visit here don't fit into the 40 or younger demographic or spend very much time in resort areas or athletic facilities so yes, men wear shorts here and you don't have to deny yourself the opportunity to wear jeans here. I don't agree it would be perceived as disrespectful because the expectation for tourists is not the same as it is for people who live here.

Why is it disrespectful to wear shorts for guys? They don't wear shorts in Colombia?

Turgid,

Thanks for your recommendation. It's not your fault. Those were my factual observations and objective rating.

One girl was tall, but she looked old, skanky, tatted. Melissa was the skinniest one but she was still too heavy and pudgy. They looked about the same or worse than Tijuana's street girls, not only in sizes, shapes, prettiness, but also hardened, worn out.

It's in a semi residential area with a blue front door. Went through 3 layers of locked steel doors and headed upstairs.

A few couches and booths surround a small lobby. Signs on the walls say 55 M Cops or $14 half hour, 90 M or $23 full hour, beers 5 M. The woman manager said, will bring up girls, remember their names or numbers.

I sat in a booth drinking a beer. A dozen girls climbed up the stairs, went in the booth, said Hi and their names. They were older, like mid 30's, all huge with big butts, big boobs, tattoos looking crude, a few blacks. They looked like the huge bulbous Botero's sculptures. The selection was the worst in Colombia to my taste. A couple guys went in next and they repeated the process of walking up the stairs to introduce themselves, lots of climbing. Guys looked happy taking big girls for banging.

I paid for the beer and walked down through 3 buzzed steel door, felt like I was in a prison. Walked out to the nice, clean streets towards Plaza Botero, tried to erase the images of huge, bulbous women from my memory.

I'm sorry to hear this about New Life. I'm a casa man and the casas are my thing in Medellin. They have been declining for some time now. However, in my last visit in 2019 the average number of New Life girls presented at any one time was around 30 and there were always tall, slim chicas in the mix (my taste) inclusive of Vennies. The hottest Latina I ever banged was at New Life some 12 years or so ago. Loutrons is a little expensive but I don't think you should leave town without a visit.

It's a legit massage spa on ground floor of hotel Habana Vieja next to Santa Fe mall.

First morning I saw a couple with 2 children come out of the place, looking happy, and 2 masseuses come in and out. I had no idea who worked there. Second morning about 10 I was waiting for Uber and saw pretty spinner sprawl on the ground, yank on the front glass door for a while. When she got tired she would sit up and text on her phone. A couple guys came and talked to her but no one helped. She asked me to "knock, knock" on the door but I had no idea who she was and what was going on, I did not want to help her break into that place.

Finally after close to an hour yanking, she got it open and was happy. I was still waiting for Uber, she came out smiling, gave a long sales pitch in her charming undulated Italian accent which I understood little, only good, very cheap 100 M cops. She looked very pretty, about mid 20's, sounded desperate. I asked her if sexo included, she said no sex. I rarely saw any clients go in that spa so promised to try her treatment in the afternoon.

Apparently she rents that place, 4 small rooms with tables, relaxing Asian music, burning incense ect, rent must be high in that area. She's the manager, receptionist, therapist. Her appointment book showed no one that day. She was glad to see me honor my promise, smiling sweetly and talked non stop, put coconut oil on me and massaged me from head to toes with hot rocks for more than an hour. I asked, she said she has one BF, had 17 years of schooling, which placed her at Master's level in the US, but found no better job. I gave her a 20 PC propina which she was grateful.

Next morning I was waiting for Uber about 10, she showed up for work, again sprawling on the ground yanking the front door a long time, stopped, talked to some one for advise, 2 guys came and went but did not help her. The hotel's old handy man came down looking, I told him to help her but he did nothing.

Now I knew she worked inside so I came over to examine the problem. She had unlocked the door but it was loosely jammed in the frame. I did not understand why she kept yanking at the bottom. The door was loose, she just did not have enough strength to push it in. Poor girl was exhausting herself yanking the door every day for a long time, desperate she would lose business if could not open it. I knocked and pushed on the glass door a couple times to determine strength, it did not open. I gave it a light kick, it swung right out. She let out a happy yell. I gave her instructions how to kick it open lightly on the wood frame with her shoe so the glass would not break.

The poor girl was sprawling on the ground yanking at that door for an hour every day. Don't understand why the guys did not help her.

Vasya,

Girls at p Lleras, some really lumpy, gross-looking, heavily tatted, all quoted 200 M Cops or $50 for half and 300 M Cops for full hour. They fixed their prices.

Camilla was the nice, clean, best-looking in the area. I could not get away with less. I was disgusted with her dead fish odor in the first round, would never want to stick my dick into her stinky, infected pussy again, but asked for second any way just to see how she would react. If she did not play hard games and try to steal my luggage, I would have given her double that rathhhatj mom.

[Captain Solo]

RiceRocket.

It was on my to do list, but after seeing the poor selections in Lleras park and a few clubs, I got discouraged, did not want to go to Niquia.

Have try it next visit.

You must be very serious to buy an apartment there, for a GF? I met a few very cute, very sweet civies, just friends but sweet companies.

What is a 'gorda' ?

I assume he meant "gorra", a ballcap. A gorda is a fat woman, very difficult to wear on your head and probably bad for your back.

Gorda and gordo are also sometimes used as a term of familiarity between close acquaintances. However, it seems like something which could cause offense.

OK. So I am Canadian (which is not anyone's fault, even my own) - once the weather hits 20 deg see. We want our shorts on. I know this is not really done here. I went to Centro yesterday in my long pants. I was wishing I had shorts on especially after the Venni I found marched me all over the map getting a hotel room. More on that later- I only saw two other males wearing shorts (both gringos) - I mean there is no disguising who I am or what I'm up to. I'm Caucasian AF, built on a larger scale, 60 yo single male so it is not really a matter of fitting in. Ain't going to happen- but I don't want to be disrespectful and I don't want to be thought of as an ugly tourist. Though come to think of it that would be a fair description. I was here about 5 years ago and I didn't worry about it much and there were times my bare legs did make me a bit uncomfortable. Any thoughts comments?

About 4 years ago I walked through the Veracruz area with 2 guys, 1 was a Canadian wearing shorts. It was nighttime, probably 8 pm or a bit after. One of the working girls headed straight towards the guy wearing shorts, trying to get her hands on him, probably trying to get into his pockets. His shorts got torn in the brief scuffle.

I wouldn't worry much about wearing what everyone else is wearing, but wearing shorts in some areas might make you a target.

[JjBee62]

JjBee62, club Maricaibo has been closed since the beginning of this year but right next door is Barra Executiva, probably the one your thinking about.

TTM.

Damn. I knew one had closed, but I can never remember which is which.

[Osteoknot]

Those who believe there are two kinds of people in the world, and those who don't, jajaja.

In this example, those who dress like they are advertising they are a tourist, and those who prefer to blend in. Whatever works for you. When a gringo in shorts and flip-flops gets rolled, detractors like to point it out but that is a classic example of association not necessarily leading to causation.

My personal bias is that I feel like it's a little more respectful and safe to blend in and "understand" and "relate" to the culture (quotes are sarcasm) than to not give a fuck, but I don't waste brain cells worrying about how other people dress, spend their money, or get their freak on, within the limits of the law.

Ostee Out, be there in less than two weeks, can't wait. The spice of life in my corner of the room is random gratutious fotos, all from earlier this year, all snapped by me. That's mi Numero Uno novia Catgrl with the open mouth getting ready to catch a load and in the next foto washing our dog at the Dorado Hotel. We snuck the dog in using a D1 grocery bag, thanks again Villiany. I see 5 different Ground Zero putas in hotels there, the skinny chica with long hair is one of many girls delivered to me by Scarlet at that Ayenda hotel in Estadio where the maids robbed me of 2 million pesos, and I see Catgirl doing what she does every time I turn my back on her which is take selfies, that me in the background in the psychedelic T-shirt.

Why is it disrespectful to wear shorts for guys? They don't wear shorts in Colombia?

Sure they do. But in their quest to fit in, some foreigners hold it dear to their hearts that if they wear shorts or ballcaps then they are breaking some kind of cultural law and will be made fun of before being banished from the country.

No problem being seen picking up hookers anytime of day or night, but do not dare be caught in a pair of shorts.

In reality nobody gives a shit what you wear. Most people are too busy minding their own business.

Is it fairly easy and uncomplicated to buy real estate in Colombia as a foreigner?

[VasyaPetya]

When in Rome do as the Romans. Don't wear shorts in Medellin except at the swimming pool. It is not only disrespectful, it pegs you as not just a foreigner, but a clueless one.
