Medellin Reports

[TjBrazil]

Always have a WhatsApp with the sim of the country you're in. Then delete it at the end of your vacation and keep the girls you like in your contact list. I set up a date on mileroticos, which is a dumpster fire of a website, she then asked me to send her a deposit after we set a time. I told her no and I'm canceling our appointment. She starts begging me not to cancel. I then get a what's app message with a guy with a shotgun in the picture to try and scare me. I didn't read the message so I don't know what BS it said in there. I then deleted the what's app. Lesson learned. Never use your real number or even google voice because your Google voice is attached to your real number.

This is strictly a newbie post with some tips to help with something you might not have thought about. Note, the Spanish phrases may not be exact, but they should be reasonably close.

1. Some of the US franchises you'll find are Subway, McDonald's, Burger King, Starbucks, KFC and Dominos. The food there is pretty close to what you're used to.

2. If you go to an upscale Colombian burger restaurant, your burger will probably be cooked rare, medio. Ask for "tres cuartos" if you want it medium. I never learned the local term for burn the fuck out of it.

3. Colombian food is not spicy. Many people consider it bland. You might not care for it. There are some good soups you might enjoy.

4. Sushi, Italian and Mexican food in Colombia are okay, but probably not as good as your favorite place back home.

5. You'll likely be unimpressed by steaks in Colombia.

6. Service in Colombia is not what you expect. Once they seat you and hand you a menu they won't return, ever, unless you flag them down. Every time you need something you need to flag them down. If you accidentally set yourself on fire, you'll need to flag them down. Just raise your hand and catch your server's attention. On rare occasions you might need to set yourself on fire to get their attention.

7. To ask for your check, flag down your server and ask for "La cuenta. " You will probably be asked "en efectivo o con su tarjeta?" Are you paying cash or with a card? You will also be asked "deseas incluir el servicio?" Do you want to include the standard 10% tip? Your check will probably have 2 different prices on it, with and without the tip. Paying it is voluntary. You do not need to tip any extra. Also, if you're paying with a card do not give them your card. They will bring a handheld card reader to you.

8. There are a lot of fruits you probably aren't familiar with, this includes fruit juices. You might like some of them. If you order juice, you might be asked "en leche o en agua?" Do you want it mixed with milk or water?

9. A common drink served with meals is guarapo. It's made with panelsa (sugar cane extract), lime juice and water. If you like sweet tea you'll probably like it.

10. The giant things that look like avocados are Lorena avocados. They have less flavor than the Haas avocadoes.

11. The Colombian chain restaurant you should try is Crepes and Waffles, except it uses the Spanish word for and, which the text editor changes to "why. " The name tells you what is on the menu.

12. The small white disk served with your meal is an arepa. Some people consider it edible. There are other varieties of arepas which are edible.

13. Many restaurants offer a menu of the day. It comes with your choice of meat, beef, pork or chicken and sometimes fish, rice, a small salad, avocado, fried plantain, and maybe potatoes and or yuca. Yuca is for people who like eating the small white disk found in 12. The meal might also include soup or beans and will come with a drink, probably a choice between guarapo and some type of juice. The total cost is usually between $2-$4 US. Tip included.

14. The local equivalent of "enough food to choke an elephant" is called "Bandeja Paisa. " Five orders of Bandeja Paisa would have solved Matt Damon's food problem in "The Martian. " Check with your cardiologist before ordering.

15. The tap water in Medellin is safe to drink. Aguardiente isn't.

A common scam is a chica telling you she lives a couple hours away and wants to come and meet you but has no money so please send some. I know guys that have donated money to chicas this way.

I don't know if it is a scam or mfs are just stupid. The first thing I say to a chick after Hello, is what part of whatever city she has in her profile that she lives in. Today alone I have talked to like 10 chicks on Cupid that do not live where their profile says. One chick's profile said she lives in Medellin. I ask what part. She says why. I say because a lot of people say they live somewhere but they do not. In the midst of this she changes her profile to say Bogota then says she lives in Medellin but Colombians are scared bla, bla, bla. Wherever you are going there will be too many women to worry about one that is in a city that you are not in.

Appreciate the input. Food scene is a major attraction for Lima but a week trip will require significant prep and I think a semi work trip will not work.

Intrigued by Mexico City, looks like there is a good street scene but are there good casas in the city?

In the end, lets hit Bog this time, I think despite lousy weather and traffic, the wealth of info. On this board may turn this in to a quick hassle free trip.

Will report back with a trip report.

Unless it has changed, Twitter is a common source for women in Mexico City. Some of the guys on the Mexico City board can help you. I really enjoyed my very brief stopover there.

Gentlemen,

I will first give the necessary disclaimer that most of my reports on this forum are either trip reports, tips for mongers, or conversational pieces. You may note in my message history that I rarely, if ever, ask for advice. Most of the time I prefer to fly by wire and figure things out as I go after RTFF. That being said, I am in need of some advice from the esteemed members of this particular subforum. Due to a last minute change, I suddenly have some free time and will get a week to head to Colombia, as my original plan was to go to Brazil but that fell through due to some logistical inconveniences.

I have been to Medellin. I enjoyed Medellin, for the most part. My last time there, however, was not pleasant as I was staying at the M when it was raided because they were operating a bar without a license or some along those lines (aka they didn't pay their bribes). That essentially ruined the trip for me and I relocated to El Poblado where I spent the rest of my short time in the city. Most of the time I go to Bogota because I know the lay of the land and where to go, but today I had an itch to change my trip from Bogota to Medellin (still making up my mind depending on the results of this post). My understanding of RTFF is that SA and FB are the primary methods of mongering, with La Isla, New Life and Centro girls as secondary. The girls at the gringo bar in Park Lleras are a tertiary and expensive option.

My predicament and request. I have a week and I want to potentially experience Medellin but don't want to spend time figuring it out on ground. This past summer, I wrote a "Newbies Guide to Rio" which made it to the reports of distinction and I had a ton of fun just figuring things out as I went. I do not have the time on ground to do that and RTFF has only gotten me so far. I am requesting two things from the members of this forum..

1. That place doesn't exist in Medellin, or if it does it's the best kept secret in Colombia. Some people will tell you their favorite spot is best for you, but I've checked out almost all of them and they've all been hit or miss. Unfortunately, the best option (IMO) in Medellin is Facebook. Many people disagree. It requires some prior planning. On the plus side, once you've done the work you have an inexhaustible supply of women. That's no help now.

2. I'd go to where you already know how to find what you're looking for, Bogota. Why risk wasting time overcoming issues in Medellin when you only have a week? Save it for when you have more time and can establish a workable game plan.

I left the LOL after my post. LOL.

I should add that if you're taking a candy girl to the Charlee, you should at least spring for an Uber Black.

[JjBee62]

Uncovered for less than 50 -60 k cop. I think you need to check your reality.

Or you could just read the forum. It's been reported several times, some within the past few weeks.

The last time I did BBFS in Medellin I paid 100 k for a Facebook girl, she was with me for 2 hours and it was in Christmas Eve (2017). I didn't even ask for BBFS. At the time the going rate for Facebook was 150 k + 20 k for taxi. She was quite a good performer. She was also the reason why I no longer do BBFS with hookers.

Howdy, I'm visiting Medellin in a few weeks for the first time and had a few oddball questions. I'm trying to focus on using SA and aim for some higher quality chicas.

- Do any of you worry about putting your income / net worth and the risk of kidnapping or extortion? Should I dial those numbers down or am I overthinking it.

- Anyone try flying in a girl from a neighboring city? Flights seem pretty cheap at maybe $50 round trip. Thinking of seeing if we vibe on video and then fly the girl in.

- Do any of you use cheap burner phones to reduce the impact of getting mugged? Again, might be overthinking it. Please excuse my silly questions.

This board is a great resource.

Thanks, Ted.

I've used SA the last couple winters in Medellin. I always report the lowest income and lowest assets catagories which I believe are $100 k because I don't think the real chicas selling ass are even looking at that so why report more and attract unwanted attention. Probably chicas looking for an actual arrangement are evaluating that info but I'm only looking for "pay per meeting".

A common scam is a chica telling you she lives a couple hours away and wants to come and meet you but has no money so please send some. I know guys that have donated money to chicas this way. If it's a $50 flight I'd offer to book her the ticket and meet her at the airport upon arrival. But don't send her any money not even for the taxi to her local airport. You will never see her.

Regarding phones I only use a cheap burner phone when I'm in Medellin. One that I don't care to lose or give up. You can buy a very decent phone locally for about $100 worth of pesos. SIM cards and data are dirt cheap. And it's nice to have a disposable whatsapp number rather than your home phone number imo.

I do not have the time on ground to do that and RTFF has only gotten me so far. I am requesting two things from the members of this forum.

1. If I were to spend 1 week in Medellin and wanted to have a carefree experience without having to prearrange things via FB or SA, where would you recommend I do this? I do not overpay as I am not interested in shifting market rates for my fellow man, rather I am interested in finding the highest concentration of "8's and 9's" in a few places. For those of who have been to Scandallo in Sao Paulo or Solarium in Rio, that is the environment I am looking for. I also like the environment of the clubs in SF in Bogota as quality can generally be found there as well. For this trip, convenience and quality are my top priorities.

2. If you, a fellow experienced Monger, were in my shoes, and only had a week to have a good time, would you go to Bogota or Medellin? Keep in mind that I am intimately familiar with Bogota but only have an elementary understanding of how things work in Medellin. Please only include mongering in your criteria. Weather and whatnot are not particularly important for me this trip.

As always, feel free to PM if you are interested in tips for Bogota, Sao Paulo, or Rio. I am very familiar with the lay of the land in those places and will happily share.

Tia.

You are taking it too seriously.

I figured as much after looking up the hotel. Looks like a nice place.

[SankarShetty]

I've only dipped my toe into things in Lima using Photokinesteticas and the local boards but I can tell you already 90% of the girls you'll probably want to see will be Venecas or Colombianas. Also the going rates are a bit higher given the stronger Sol. The food and culture is amazing. I stayed near the Larco museum in a middle class neighborhood (can't remember the name) as well as in Lince and felt safe even walking at night. I can't tell you for sure but I'd guess internet is comparable. So if sex is your #1 concern I'd stay in Colombia (why leave if you end up fucking vennies and colombianas anyway). But Limas definitely got better food than Medellin and loads of cool things to do.

Thanks for the input. I am planning to do Bogota this time and hit up Lima for a regular vacation trip later in the summer.

[SankarShetty]

I think Bogota has best internet of those cities. I found Lima to be more spotty. Barranquilla (BAQ) worked fine. Cali was okay but probably #3.

I used google translate and do not think language is much of an issue if you can get good with that in all those places.

With mongering, Lima has been cracking down. The women there are sweet but by far the least attractive of the four cities you mentioned. Bogota is #1 with women with BAQ #2 but there is not the variety or quantity of Bogota. Lima is also double the cost of the Colombian cities.

So Bogota is your best option on what you listed, but the issues with Bogota were not mentioned: altitude, climate, pollution, traffic. I would give yourself a few days there before committing. If you can take the negatives, that is where I would stay.

Thing about Lima I should point out is the food there is incredible, there is no altitude adjustment, and the weather reminds me of Northern California in the summer: foggy, cool, but pretty much the same every day. I do not go for that, but I know others love that kind of climate.

Appreciate the input. Food scene is a major attraction for Lima but a week trip will require significant prep and I think a semi work trip will not work.

Intrigued by Mexico City, looks like there is a good street scene but are there good casas in the city?

Hello fellow mongers,

Just saw a video from Colombiafrank on YouTube, he said there will be protests because of the upcoming elections in Colombia. Do you think it is still safe to monger?

Will be in el Problado from 11th till 19th.

Yes, it should be safe to monger unless you're decked out in campaign gear from a candidate.

However, on voting weekend all alcohol sales are prohibited from Friday evening (6 pm?) until Monday morning. Bars and clubs will be closed. On election day, which is on a Sunday the Metro is free, which usually means bigger crowds.

I think you putting too much effort into something that is so simple LOL May I ask how old you are?

[Blurb123]

That's what I found about the protests:

https://actualidad.rt.com/actualidad...rotestas-duque

Among the next marches are the mobilization against the cost of living, scheduled for March 3; another for International Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8; the National Mobilization of April 28, which commemorates a year of the social outbreak; and the International Day of the Working Class, scheduled for May 1. The call comes just 32 days before the parliamentary elections and just over three months before the general elections on May 29.
