Sometimes the storms are severe, which is a good time to be sitting on the balcony with a nice chica.
Having stood on hot asphalt, with temperature and humidity at 95, and trudged through snow with wind chills at -40° in Chicago, I'll take Medellin weather.

However:
In Medellin there are the casas and strip clubs. The girls are right there. You just pick one and go fuck. The street girls are right there. Just pick one and go fuck. The girls in Gusto and the Mansion, you guessed it. If the Facebook thing isn't working for you, why sit and complain? Hop in a taxi and go fuck It's not as if Facebook is the only option.
I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but you have no value in Medellin until you establish your value That's just the nature of the beast.
There are hundreds, possibly thousands of guys reading this board every day, who have no intention of ever visiting Medellin. However, they do want to talk to the girls. Every girl on Facebook in Medellin gets messages from guys that are pure bullshit. Guys trying to get pictures, guys setting up fake dates, guys insulting them or threatening them. As a new guy you have no credibility. Your Facebook page probably has very little content and nobody can recommend you.
This has been mentioned before. Just as the mongers share information about the girls, the girls share information about us. Until some of the girls get to know you, you're still an unknown risk.
There are ways to establish a reputation, which greatly reduces the issues. The first way is to get another monger to recommend you. If that's not an option, make your Facebook more active. My mongering Facebook, as several can attest, is the same Facebook I use for family and friends. There's no question that I'm a real person. This isn't an option for most people. However, by posting photos and tagging your location in Medellin, you will get a lot more responses. Anyone can send a message, but a picture of a well known landmark goes a long way towards establishing credibility.
To close, nothing makes Medellin superlative. It's got an excellent climate, it's inexpensive, the people are friendly, but it's not going to fit everyone.

To answer your question. Yes, the factors that you mention are significant downsides to Internet pipelining, and they are one of the main reasons that I have not returned to Medellin more frequently than I have over the past five years. I have a strong preference for in-person mongering for all of the reasons that you described. But Facebook in Medellin clearly offers the best combination and balance of talent, service, and pricing of the various options in Medellin, despite the numerous flaws of Facebook pipelining that you correctly identified. The main considerations for me are the GFE aspect of the service and BBBJ, both of which can be hard to find in the many other in-person mongering options outside Medellin, such as the casas and the strip clubs. CBJ is generally a show-stopper for me, so those options do not work well for me.
So then you might ask, why go to Medellin at all then? Well, for the time being at least, there are not that many other places to go due to travel and public health restrictions. If I could go anywhere in the world right now to monger, I would go to Pattaya or the FKKs of Frankfurt, but those are probably not feasible for now. Colombia is only a few hours flight away from me and has few restrictions in place right now. And, as I mentioned in my report, this latest experience with a more pronounced version of Internet pipelining's numerous downsides will probably shift the balance of time that I spend in Colombia away from Medellin and toward Bogota, where I can monger in person in the Santa Fe red light district.

Posts: 586I have been to Cartagena several times. With family, with chicas, and by myself. While I love the Old City, I've pretty much soured on the rest of it. The beach is nothing to me, because I live in Florida and have better sand and cleaner water. And I can't stand the touts who will not give up. Even if you have your eyes closed or your hat over you head. They will wake you up. I especially hate the massage ladies. When I am there, I am more likely to stick to the hotel pool during the day and enjoy the Old CIty at night when it's cooler. But I'm not in any hurry to return there.
I rarely have issues with touts in Medellin. Now if I was in centro all of the time, I imagine it might be different. When I do get approached by someone in Laureles, a quick "no gracias" does the trick. Never had anyone follow me. My only annoyance is in Poblado. Especially near the Parque. Seems like everyone is selling something or begging for money. It gets old. Some will go away with a "no gracias" but some are very persistent. I used to enjoy sitting at a table by the side walk at Beer Company and watching the action. But now I am more likely to sit in the middle to avoid the pests. Although some restaurants seem to have no problem allowing these touts to walk right in and solicit you at your table, which I find very annoying.

Posts: 540ARVI Park
I wanted to visit but read some comments from some sites and changed my mind. (My comments).
1) Do not come here on a holiday weekend. We attempted to come another weekend and made it all the way to the Santa Domingo station and was told the park was closed due to max capacity of visitors.
(The park is massive. No reason to have any max capacity other than getting the people out and home using the metro or buses.).
2) After spending 26000 COP to get there, and double checking the park hours, we were told by park staff that the park would not open till 11.30. So we saw nothing and did not want to spend two and a half hours touring their souvenir shop, while waiting for the park to open.
3) The man in the tourist booth told us that the guides were in some sort of class / training and so our only option was to walk on a paved road to a picnic site. I asked where we could get a good view of the city and he said the only lookout point was closed.
4) We wanted to walk to a lagoon on the map. Main road gets there. Very simple and straightforward. 20 minutes maximum. Stopped by police and forced to join a walking tour (free, mind you) we had to stay with this group, escorted by 2 mounted police and weren't allowed to separate for own own safety. 20 min walk turned into a painful 3 HR tour to get to a lagoon that had been dry for months.
Here was a Laguna a couple kilometers down the road but the police wouldn't let us walk that far because it was 3 pm.
5) You may get robbed on the trails! Hopefully the park put up warning signs after this most recent incident but we found out too late that it had already happened to others before us. My Mother and I were on the Archaeological trail not far from our larger group of friends when suddenly a guy appeared out of the forest with a gun, he snatched my phone out of my hand and proceeded to unzip my Mom's shirt pockets searching for her valuables, he stole her phone too and took all of her cash. We were lucky we weren't harmed and he gave her back her passport after we pleaded for it in our limited Spanish.
(No where is safe in this country. Starting to really wear and grind on me. Sad! I had hoped to put on my headphones on and relax on a 7+ mile hike.)
6) The park is horribly organized, and actively discourages visitors from exploring the park. We arrived by the cable car, spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get to the hiking trails shown on the maps. You can't, and even if you could you need a paid guide.
(I hate guided tours. Took one guide to a waterfall and lost the female guide because she stopped to chat with someone and I kept going. My money. My time.)
7) We looked for some information / map, no luck.
(I can not find a decent map on their website, Google search, or Google maps. The place is huge to be there without a good map.).
8) We crossed noisy locals with noisy loudspeakers.
(That would ruin any trip any where at any time.)

So funny you use the word "Flakiness" which most guys have repeated over and over again. Me too. I have countless examples. But Mr. Enternational in prior post has informed us that we are using the word incorrectly. Just warning you if he corrects you. HAHA!
