Medellin Reports

[TalkYes]

Frankly, I'm not surprised everything is turning up shit for you. All I can say is that attitude is everything. You started off complaining and haven't stopped. When things don't go exactly how you expect (and often your expectations are unreasonable) you throw a tantrum.

The only thing I did was walk out of a few clubs and call a girl a ***** over text, which I later apologized for and she still wants to meet up. Then made a couple posts venting about my experiences. Nothing about that is throwing a tantrum. That's you being dismissive.

As for your theory about how tipping panhandling strippers keeps the club full, I think that's just you making a logical leap just to make me feel ridiculous when I'm not being ridiculous. If a girl is hot, she will make good money just from guys wanting attention whether it be tips, drinks, private dances, or fucking in the back. If not, she will have to put on some extra charm to get by, which has not been the case in my experience. That's how it works in clubs in the USA, (since you made the comparison) and that's how it should work everywhere. You keep repeating how cheap 2 mil is as if you're not listening to my counter argument, or as if you're ignoring it completely for the convenience of your argument. The amount is irrelevant. If I want to tip a girl for her attention, I will give her 10 or 20. So no, I don't want to have to tip the bartender to help me fill my pockets with 2's so that girls I'm not interested in will leave me alone and not gossip about me in the dressing room (another thing you brought up). The system sucks, if you disagree, fine, but try to be respectful or at least not disingenuous in how paint your opponent's argument. I'm not the first one on here to say it's a dumb system, I'm not even the only one on here that's currently saying so, and I won't be the last. And judging by how argumentative you are, it really does nothing to convince me that I'm being ridiculous, moreso that you're just a bit abrasive let's say (so that this post gets approved).

Is it safe to walk around Poblado and parque lleras late at night on a Wednesday, like after 2 am? I will be getting in late and might want to head out that first night. I will be on west coast time. Staying in Energy Living.

Like any major city you have to exercise a modicum of common sense. Strolling around a public area at 2:00 am When you've just gotten off a flight and haven't gotten your bearings likely is not a good idea. But there's police at areas around the park and there will be people entering and leaving the clubs in the area.

I wouldn't say gun holdups are prevalent, at least not if you stay in decent neighborhoods and aren't flaunting your wealth (and we're all wealthy compared to the average Colombian). I also wouldn't say getting your drink spiked with Scopaline is common. But if you're not paying attention, that also can happen.

Normal common sense precautions apply in Medellin as in traveling most places in Latin America.

I've cumulatively spent at least a year of my life in Medellin and I've only had one unsuccessful attempt at mugging me.

Planning to go in a week to Medellin. Saw some concerning reports about safety issues (gun hold ups seem prevalent). Have you had any concerns regarding walking around or otherwise if one take the usual advised precautions?

I arrived late last night so I decided to go to fase II. 20 mil cover, I pay it and go in and it's pretty dead. Not a good sign. I've already paid cover so I order a drink. 22 mil for a mini budweiser, not even a full bottle. Whatever, there are some hot girls around, not on stage though. The ones on stage was like a 6. 5. She finished dancing and comes and asks me for a tip for her dancing. I say no, that's what I paid cover for. At this point I'm pissed. It's not about the money, it's the principle. Like maybe you think I'm cheap for not wanting to give her 2 or 5 mil (assuming you have those bills, once you dig into your pocket it's game over) but I think the club the club is cheap if they pay their dancers so little that they have to panhandle. Anyway I was hoping it was a once off situation. The second dancer I didn't even watch, I was looking at my phone. When the second dancer came up to panhandle I said fuck this I'm out and finished my drink and bounced. Then I realized the airbnb I rented had fucking holes in the doors for ventilation and vents in the windows that you can't close. You heard every noise in every room. Slept maybe 4 hours tops due to the noise. Texted my host in the morning that it's not going to work out. He hooked me up with a deal for a nicer hotel, had to pay like 350 mil more for the 2 weeks. I have to wait til 3 to check in and I get here and it also has the uncloseable vent in the window. WTF? How is this a thing? How to Colombians sleep? FML. Not feeling Medellin so far. Kinda wish I stayed in Bogota. Hopefully it gets better.

Oh another thing, when the host made the change for me, I told him I needed a place where I could bring a guest back. He tells his wife this and she picks me up to take me to the hotel, and she's explaining this to the lady at the desk and they're telling me it's fine as long as it's only one person. Man I almost cringed to death. Now this hotel makes them sign in with ID and shit. Bruh.

Nothing you described here is out of the ordinary.

So now I'm poor because I'm trying to maximize the value I get for the money I spend.

You know what * ISG I'm done trying to help you idiots out.

I guys can RTFF and figure shit out on your own.

You have a posting style similar to another member. And like him, your information is solid. I have learned things from reading your posts.

Thanks to JustTK for the info.

Is Central by the Botero busy on Sunday during the day?

Thanks.

Sunday is usually slower. I think it's pretty good today near the glass walkway.

Was trying for like 3 days to set something up with a girl from photoprepagos. She completely blew me off last night after saying she would be ready at 10 pm and I said message me when you're ready to confirm. Then she has the nerve to act like I'm the one making it diffcult to schedule something so I finally say "olviado, no me interesa".

Met up with a chick from seeking who wanted 500 mil. She looked really hot in her photos, but she was not worth close to 500. I paid for her dinner and taxi both ways. I feel like a chump but not as much as I would have felt if I paid another 500 mil to hook up with her. Went back to my hotel and messaged another girl on seeking. I send her the name of my hotel and a screenshot of the location and she says she will be here at 1 am (it's like 11:45) I say ok and she texts me at 1:15 asking for my address. I ask if she's close and she says "no se donde estas". WTF? A) you're telling me you haven't even called the taxi and you were supposed to be here 15 mintues ago and B) you could easily hide that info from me if you didn't think you were too good to google my hotel. I called her a ***** and said forget it. Fuck these bitches, they have such inflated egos. I'm so over this shit.

Medellin is not the place you want to have your type of energy or attitude in. Clearly this city is not your vibe and it is not going to become your vibe. I would change your plans and head somewhere else before you find the wrong kind of trouble that will check your attitude very fast.

Ground Zero is pretty died on Sundays and holidays. Best time to go would be a weekday afternoon.

Sundays are dead everywhere except in Tijuana.

All the information on how to have the time of your life in Medellin is readily available. It's all been repeated dozens of times. There are many options and most are simple to use.

Yea in other words your giving away the money for free. I can see their faces and bodies and smell them while talking to them outside the st hotels. If I'm not getting my dick yet then it's not a bargain it's a waste of money. Your not going to win that argument jb2, I respect you but your wrong on this one.

As for traveling by bus I took a vennie (who only had her Venezuelan cedula so she couldn't fly) from medellin to Santa Marta and back by bus. We went thru Caucasia, Monteria, Sincelejo, and Barranquilla in the way there. The bus ride was almost as much fun as Santa Marta was, seeing the landscape with all the mountains covered in banana trees and palms was really cool. Stopping off in little towns like Santa Rosa de LOS Osos to eat and meet and talk to locals was an experience I enjoyed. I've also taken another vennie from Bogota to melgar to enjoy the piscinas and toboganes there. And I have taken solo bus rides between cucuta and bucaramanga and also between Tolima and Cali. I love the sceneries, the mountains, rivers, cliff drop offs, you don't really see all that in a plane. I agree it can be time consuming especially on the 2 lane highways and especially when they're doing construction but it's still fun and especially if you have a chica with you to share the experience. And no I didn't ask the driver to call me his *****, why the disrespect bro?

I'm a pretty extravagant guy. I'll toss a girl 2 k just as easily as I'll toss 50 cents to a busker on the street. I treat 2 k as if it's just a miniscule amount of money that is not worth freaking out over.

Here's a breakdown:

1 cheap Colombian meal = 5 strip club tips = 10 minutes of naked girls rubbing your junk.

1 cheap El Centro fuck = 15-30 minutes of sex = 15-20 strip club tips = 30-40 minutes of various naked girls rubbing your junk + 1-3 hours of drinking beer and watching naked women dance (beer not included).

1 cheap RT ticket to Medellin (baggage extra) = 5,000+ strip club tips, etc.

I'm not wrong. You have the opinion that spending 2 k in a strip club is a waste of money. That part is fine. You also expressed the opinion that guys who spend money in strip clubs are stupid and wasteful and trying to impress, blah, blah, blah. You're wrong. You're wrong to the point where you deserve disrespect.

Every one of us is responsible for finding our own happiness. If someone is happy doing something and what they are doing is not hurting anyone, then what they are doing is right for them. Whether they're happy in a strip club or hanging out with the Hare Krishnas by the Veracruz Church, let them be happy.

Nothing wrong with seeing the scenery. That's why I rent cars, or drive my girlfriend's sister's car. I'm not at the mercy of a crazy bus driver, I've got better views of the scenery and the girl in the passenger seat probably has her pants around her ankles and my hand between her legs. Driving has all the advantages of taking a bus, but puts you in control. You can stop anywhere or anytime. Instead of spending a few minutes seeing a town you can spend a few hours.

Sure it comes with a price, but when it comes to my pleasure, I'm happy to spend the money. That applies to all things. If my money is being spent to keep me smiling, then it's never wasted.

Its true, in Colombia poor people can still get laid.

With all due respect I must say you Sir are a Centro rat.

It's funny you say this because actually about a week ago I had went to the veracruz church area with exactly 30 mil in my wallet (I also had 10 mil hidden to have food and bus money) and anyways I went up to several chicas asking cuanto cobras? I found a halfway decent looking one that said 30 mil to which I replied "pero solo tengo exactamente 30 mil" and I even pulled out my wallet and showed her the 20 mil and 10 mil bills that I had. And then I was like "vamos o no?" and she replied "esta bien vamos" she took me to brisas de jardin around the corner there across from the panaderia. It ended up being 10 k for the pieza and 20 k for her and she even gave me BBBJ without me even asking for it. Then we had condom sex. The session was still pretty decent and I was able to finish.

So actually it can be 30 k even including the room. However I do agree this is not the norm and I was quite surprised myself.

So technically not false information.

I'm sorry to learn you are having so many challenges. Most of the working women are young and about as organized as a 20 year old girl in the US. If I was you I'd look at Traveler69's map for Medellin and just hit up some casas to get your sea legs under you. Historically, New Life, Fantasias Spa Energy, and Club Amigas Sexy have been preferred ones. Easy point and click. Just don't go too late in the day.
