Medellin Reports

[LoverBoy1024]

I wouldn't give up on the SW's in Medellin just yet. The reason you think your having worse luck in Medellin with the SW's than in Tijuana is because most of the services in Tijuana are kind of set on a menu with typically includes a base price which includes two positions and their pants or skirt off, and then you have the add ONS, etc. So basically your getting a menu, where as here, it doesn't work that way, and anything goes.

You don't really need any negotiating skills, yet you do need some basic Spanish speaking skills. You can ask the SW's what they want, and after you hear the number, you just tell them what you are willing to pay and what you expect for their services and that they can "take it or leave it". It's that simple, and this is exactly how the Colombians go about it.

And always tell them that you pay afterwards, and make that clear before you go upstairs with them versus after your in the room. I personally don't like the Vennies that much, they seem to have an attitude like they are better than the Colombians and smarter which is a perfect example of what happened to you, however there are some nice ones around.

That's great advice. Thank you so much.

I wrote a much longer continuation of my previous post regarding "scam alert", but I'm not sure it got posted or not so I will just conclude it shortly here.

I paid in advance for a TLN and promised services. However right after renting a room for the night I got a threesome pushed on me from a cousin that needed our help. So while I already paid for GFE for the night, we couldn't do that unless I paid for her cousin (in advance) too. So I told both of them to just go away.

So this is perfect advice from Surfer. Pay after only.

You can also WU your self the $. I forget what the sweet spot for fees vs $ is.

Any tips, advise. I will be in a great location in laureles near la70. Can I find out best way to exchange money. Best taxi app to use at the airport around the town. I exchanged $200 through us bank and lost $30 doing so 580000 pesos. My thought is there must be a better way. Can I get names or address of all the casas in laureles. Also it seems like more foreigners like the hunt in el centro than parque lleras. Can I get feedback.

If the USA Border Folks ask you about the "women in Colombia" simply tell them you are gay then ask politely if you may proceed.

Border folk will respond "How are the men?".

If you are in the situation in which you must exchange money rather than use ATM's, go to the Unicentro shopping center. A place in there named Panacambios had the best rate when I checked last month. The xe.com rate was 3395/$1 and they were giving 3250/$1. DiDi and Beat are the most popular ride-share apps. I think DiDi may have more cars. Cabify is the yellow taxi app. I use the bus from the airport, so I don't know if any of those apps work at the airport. I use Facebook as my source for chicas, thus I don't know much about casas, el centro, or Parque Lleras.

To notes for you: (1) ATMs and (2) RTFF.

So off I go looking for trouble and found it. Skinny Vinnie who quoted me 50 k and of course I didn't negotiate down to 30 k like I should have. And when we get to the room she asks for payment up front. Now I should have negotiated all this beforehand but didn't. So I get what is coming to me in spades. I tried the "if you do a great job you get a great tip, not good then no tip. " So she proceeds to ask for another 50 k. Wait, that's not the way this is supposed to go! Anyway that's two for two in Botero Plaza up selling me without Mersey.

I started the day taking a trip on the Metro Cable line. I got some good pictures of the city from the height and also some pictures of the Favelas. On the way back I picked up some beer, nuts and cheese at the Exito store on CL. 48 #46-115, Medellin. On the way back I passed the Botero Plaza and didn't see anyone from the day before.

I was thinking of eating something but also wanted to see if the girl from Yakusa was working this Sunday. So instead I popped a Viagra and took a shower. I made sure to shave closely and ensure that every part of me was clean and ready for our date. But to my disappointment; upon reaching the said establishment I was told that there was only one girl there today and she wasn't the one I was looking for. And as I looked a the guy that was waiting his turn; I just knew the right answer was to say "thank you very much. I will come back on Monday."

Immediately after exiting Yakusa I got a text from Skinny Vinnie. I almost decided to put her off, but I had this crazy idea in my head that I could turn a money first clock watcher into a GFE. I looked at that idea and turned it around in my head. On the one point I was very nice to her the day before. I could play up that store of good will and maybe turn it into a nice encounter. So she is texting me devils and lovey stuff and says she is hungry for me. "OK", I said. "Where do we meet?

The biggest cons are possible on people who con. My con? I was thinking about how I could get something that doesn't belong to me. Kind of like the FBers who are trolling FaceBook looking for naive young girls who they hope are going to give them more than they have a right to. They want GFE without paying for the commitment of a family or even the commitment of a boyfriend. That was my con. My con was the gasoline that made her con burn. But when you are feeling the flames it is like sacrificing a pawn in Chess. The pawn has a purpose. It is an acceptable price.

So we agreed to meet at the place where we met the day before. The street near the museum that some have named little Caracas. She asked that we don't go to the short time hotel we went to last time, but go to her hotel room. I thought "that sounds kind of girlfriend." And said "yes that sounds good". We walk quickly up the street; she almost runs.

She asks to buy some beer for the room. The room price was 20 k pesos. I gave her money and something additional to buy some beer. We walked up the stairs to her room. Of course I thought that could be the price to add me for the night. The room was as expected. It was a mess.

As I sat on the bed I noticed that there were crumbs of marijuana on the bed. Empty beer bottles on the dresser. Clothing popped out of drawers and cubbyholes. And I identified a pipe.

Part One of a multiparty post.

Hello,

I have been doing more research on Medellin, and a few girls on the Photoprepagos site caught my attention. A lot of these girls seem to have their own apartments around the city, and are willing to do incall. This feels more convenient for me, since a) I don't have to rent a love motel, and b) I can go to the girl at my own time without having to sit around waiting.

A few posts from a while back mentioned that these incalls are safe, but is it advised to just rent a love motel? Is there a risk of running into anything at the incall location? LOL this is going to be my first time visiting, so just wanted to see what the more experienced mongers think about this.

How funny that the sign in the elevator states " sex tourism is explicitly prohibited". This place was built for sex tourists.

Never been to Energy but similar buildings. In those buildings, the posters in elevator doesn't say "Sex tourism is explicitly prohibited" but "child prostitution is prohibited and should be reported".

The person I'm standing in front of is just doing their job. They aren't there to give me problems. They're like the greeter at Walmart. I give a cheerful greeting. I show interest. If they ask how I'm doing, I answer and ask how they are doing. When I walk away, I want them to be a little bit happier than when I arrived.

Let me state I respect border agents who are doing an important job trying to keep dangerous people out of our country. And as Frank Burns said, its nice to be nice to the nice. But they are not Walmart greeters, they are looking for someone to bust. The more people they catch, the better for their career. Get an asshole or even worse an asshole having a bad day, they can greatly inconvenience you or worse. Be polite, be direct and move on.

Mongering is not an accepted "hobby" in the USA, with that being said, why would someone even "own" up to it, especially to US Immigration, which I don't understand. Divulging that you are a monger could open up a Pandora's box, but for some members on this board they don't believe it's an issue.

Think about the reaction of the secondary or the boss when all mongers are recorded and sent to secondary. I know they have to be kept busy, but probably not like this. This has nothing to do with border security.

I Lesson learned: unless you have great negotiating skills (which I don't) I now think it's better for me to go to the casas. For some reason I have worse luck in Medellin than in Tijuana with SWs.
