Medellin Reports

[Turgid]

I start by Veracruz church. Walk down beside it, make a right, walk all the way down to the end of the block, cross the street and walk the other side. I then circle back to the girl I liked most or sit down at a bar and have a drink. There will also be girls in the bars you don't see as you walk by. Im sure we stick out but the street is bustling with traffic, venders, delivery trucks, and other pedestrians going about their day. I personally don't walk around long and find a good viewpoint from the bar. You will have venders walking up trying to sell you everything under the sun. I otherwise haven't been bothered. It is cheap and a fun hunt for something I like. Which is not always immediate so go shopping, have lunch, check out the musuem, Botero statues, then walk back through. So much to see/do down there. Easy to spend the whole day down there for me.
The Ruadal area is close as well if you prefer to head to that area for a loop.

I decided to walk through the areas of El Centro frequented by street walkers in the afternoon yesterday and was struck by the numbers of young attractive chicas I saw mainly standing at doorways. Most of them actually ignored me among the hustle and bustle that was going on which made me feel that I was not all that noticeable which I like. I will feel way too self conscious grabbing one at that time of day but some evening or night time activity is definitely in the offing.

I'm making my maiden trip to Medellin 2nd-3rd week of March, and have been reading the forum extensively. I have set up a faux Facebook page and plan to step out into centro since by all accounts, I fit in there. I was wondering if you guys could share a name or some names to add to my account. I have WhatsApp too PN but I can't pay to be a member for some fucked up reasons and was hoping you could give a helping hand.

In Centro Mar 7-21 you will definitely see me, and we can link up, I can show you the ropes and Vera Cruz.

This post is directed to expats living in CO or knowledgeable about the subject. It has nothing to do with the theme of this board, sorry. I hesitate to get too personal, but screw it. For those that subscribe to expat boards, I've also asked the same question on another board. Please excuse the repetition.

I'm an American looking to retire in Medellin or possibly Cali or elsewhere, though my experience outside Medellin is very limited. I only mention Cali as I believe the cost of living is less than Medellin and I like warm weather. I'd like to inquire what kind of life I would have living on a small pension of about $2200 monthly. The best I can tell from my visits is that my standard of living would be much lower than it is now.

Not to get into all the gory details, I lost my business and with it, my savings. Hence, I have to rely on my pension. Although I'm a professional and have commanded a good salary, at 67 I find that jobs are much more difficult to come by. I was recently laid off and can't even get an interview. Besides, after over 50 years of working, I'm ready to leave the cold winters here in the northeast and enjoy retired life.

Is a decent apartment in a relatively safe area with enough left over for food, modest entertainment, basic medical (I'm healthy), etc possible in my circumstances? The decision I need to make is whether to struggle to look for work so I can replenish my savings somewhat or take the plunge and retire. Thanks.

I'll respond in the General thread, since this relates to more than just Medellin.

PolloNegro is completely legit as the tall man has connected with him off line and I for one appreciate his honesty and style for the chicas, lets just say that we have chica freinds in common, jajajaja.

So many guys are chasing the 10 for whatever that means, now I must admit that in years past that I, when I had a shit load of discretionary income to burn, have paid handsomely for a real top 10 model type material, but things change and I am on the low key budget manager system for stretching my pesos and guess what I am having a blast with the centro chicas and other low volume under the radar girl next door, who like PolloNegro some of you would go "WTF", to each his own, just be real and have fun and go with the flow.

I am on colombian cupid and my search indicates that the women in Bogota are pretties then Medellin.

How do you operate Centro! I have done every single method also! Except Centro! I have a skewed vision of it after watching YouTube videos. Maybe it's me but it seems like the most uncomfortable way of mongering. I imagine walking down some 3rd world looking street. Passing by shady guys and looking like a sore thumb. Then walking up to a group of thirsty unattractive women. Looking at them then walking as they make cat calls at me as I continue down ghetto streets on foot looking for a diamond in the ruff. LOL.

My thought process to avoid this scenario was find some sort of transportation (in a car seems safer). Maybe asking the cab driver to circle around until I found my diamond. Putting down the window. She walks over. Negotiates. Hope's in then off we go to either my alt or a love motel of my choosing.

Mind you, I monger alone so what is the real way of doing this safely and with a bit of dignity LOL. The whole walking the streets just doesn't seem realistic for a foreigner. What's your methods? In detail please.

Unless you are a Cartel Member or Arab who has bought some of these Medellin girls, please be mindful and open minded about speculations. If you mention money in this forum you will be bashed, if you mention Centro they will say you will be robbed. I will tell you this, I exclusively monger in Centro, and I have met plenty of girls who meet my standards. Many on the board will tell you that they have had beauties beyond belief, but never one pic. The most common excuse is this, I respect the girl. If they respected the girl, they would not pay her for sex and would tell her to find some upstanding work, but that's not neither here nor there.

Plenty of people have inboxed me and I have sent them photos of girls and numbers and the nearly 95% of the guys ask about the skinny girls that I send and truly I am a ass man, so once again, landing a 10 is in the eye of the beholder. I have come to terms that many mongers have a little woman syndrome and they won't spinners under a 100 lbs and under 5 foot. Then this is what you need to say, don't just say, I want a 10. To be honest, most of the chics I see guys chasing are extremely young looking and that's cool, but say that, don't just say, I want a 10.

My favorite chic is a few girls from Centro, who allow all 3 hole access, and swallow and do anything you ask for the pesos. If you are obsessed with physical beauty then you should also say that, but for me, performance is what makes a woman a 10, not just looks. I have had many chics in Casas that wouldn't let me take pics, or wanted a tip for BBBJ and had too many rules. The 10 factor is all in the mind and you have to know what your 10 factor is and what you are willing to pay. Fortunately, I take enough pesos with me to achieve every desire I can think of, that's what a monger has to be honest with himself about. What services and looks do you want for the pesos that you are spending. I can't tell you how much money to bring, as this is also a problem starter. If you happen to see a Unicorn and you have to have her, it would be ashame to miss that Unicorn due to lack of funds. To all Mongers have fun, be safe and I will see Medellin in March. Pollo Negro is out!

From the well over 200 chicas I have seen in casas so far this trip very few are in their late 20's. The vast majority are in their early 20's. A few even in their late teens.

Which Casas have you been to?

There is a thread called: "Living and retirement in Medellin" in the user blogs, lots of good info there:

http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...nt-in-Medellin

Also the Miami Herald recently covered that:

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nat...GB-sHtkev_51Jw

My buddy Steward who is retired in Med, after living at the Hotel Botero for a year got a apt:

It is in Belen La Palma, has a balcony, living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen for $240 a month, utilities included. Says he's surrounded by good neighborhoods, two blocks from an Exito, 10 minutes walk from Los Molinos Mall.

Now that is what would be weird to me. When you walk you go at your own pace and can stop and talk to whoever whenever. Turn around and walk back in the same direction. If you are in a car you have to go with the flow of traffic. Then say you pass by and see a chick you like. You tell the taxi to circle back around. By then a guy like me has already walked up and taken her. Then people see the same car stopping and going and circling around and it looks suspicious. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. There are thousands of people everyday walking and doing this and you want to be the only one in a car sticking out like a sore thumb.

Bicycle! On bike I can give you a perspective of Medellin like no other. Sketchy areas seem not quite as sketchy. We can cover 10 times more ground on bicyle than on foot and you will notice 1000 times more detail than if you were cruising around in a car. I know the city very well. Who wants to ride bikes?

I'm an avid cyclist and gave up my car for a bike. I live just outside NYC. Biking the streets is hazardous most everywhere though. I can't imagine navigating the streets of Medellin on bike, especially not knowing the city well. There doesn't seem to be many bike lanes. And motorists are completely crazy in Medellin as is the case in much of Latin America. It is dangerous enough for a pedestrian. Perhaps when I get there you can show me the way.

.........After they hit their late 20's and the next groups of 10's replace them they've prob had a kid or 2 from the BBFS they have to do for insane amounts of Cartel money they'll go to Dubai or Europe to try to make as much as they can and.............

I appreciate all of the recent posts about mongering in El Centro. I'm leaning towards staying in this area for my trip later this year. Is Nutibara a good hotel to stay at? Chica friendly, hassle free? Or, is the best recommendation to use the love motels? I've traveled to San Jose and Sosua, and I've always just brought the girls back to my room at Chica friendly hotels. Are the love motels sketchy, or easy to use? Will the girl just know of a decent one to take me to? My Spanish is basic, but I'm getting better. Studying online. Thanks.

Hotel Nutibara is a grand old hotel that after 6 PM no outside guests are allowed.

Our story is similar and I am also planning to retire in next few years in a warm country full of beauties. Of course, you can live a comfortable life for your monthly pension if you do not monger. Being american, you might find a young colombian as a wife.
