Horrifying end for man seeking love in Brazil

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/horrifying-end-for-man-seeking-love-in-brazil/

I'm sure this time it will be a happily ever after fairy tale ending.

One thing I learned is that if you still have other girlfriends you aren't going to stop seeing and she still has other boyfriends and or girlfriends she's not going to stop seeing, it's not time to settle down.

About the time he finishes paying for that house being built, he's going to discover that it wasn't being built for him and her and that he has no claim on it.

True. That's why I would never spend what I could not afford to lose (or at least not be able to access). I am not looking for rental income. If I died, I'd just give it to my ex-wife and daughter, who are both Colombian and USA Citizens.

That is why it is smarter to rent, especially for older people. How do you look at 60 years old talking about buying some shit. There is too much uncertainty buying things overseas. With this pandemic, regular foreign visitors have not been able to enter the Philippines in 1 year. Imagine if you had bought something over there that you could not even get to. All the shit that I have in Thailand, if I never went back I have no problem losing it. My $1500 6 year old scooter is the most expensive thing I have. $300 TV. $50 microwave. Clothes from Goodwill. If I had a $60,000 crib over there that I could not get to for whatever reason, I would be stressed as fuck.

Maybe not lose money in COP term but it is difficult to say when the money is converted back to USD. I looked it up and COP has depreciated more than 40% in the last 10 years.

Personally, I prefer to buy income property in US and spend the income in Colombia.

They didn't get me.

Selling the apartment if priced properly will not be the issue, the issue will be if you want to get the money from the sale of the apartment out of the Country, and back into the USA.

If so, you will have had to properly brought the money into the Country to begin with, meaning the moneys used to purchase the property were properly identified and recorded, or you will never get your money out of the Country.

I heard a guy say he bought his apartment from a Colombian but they wanted the purchase to be done in US dollars and with a US bank, therefor the money never even entered Colombia, he said this prevented him from getting the residency visa that would have normally been possible but due to the transaction of the money happening outside of the country it could not be verified so now it sounds also as if he will have the same problem you guys are describing if he wants to sell and get the money out of the country.

I had a great three months but it was time to leave.

I accomplished most of my goals, went to the mountaintop and saw the casa being built for Catgirl and I by her family. That was a great cross cultural experience that I will never forget, staying with her family in a small pueblo barely accessible by 4 WD that sustained itself by growing coffee on the mountainside.

That is mi novia Catgirl and her novia, Haz.

Medellin is where my heart is and I am back in the states taking all the necessary steps to move there permanently

Regarding #3, trying to impress the girls is really not a good idea. Best to get that mindset out of your system when pursuing this hobby.

No! Absolutely not! Never! I would rather just give the girl my ATM card and tell her to go withdraw how much she wants.

1. It doesn't matter how pleased she will be, because you pay her after she's finished and ready to leave.

2. The exchange rate is always changing. The price of pussy is fairly stable. Are you planning on checking the current rate each time, doing the math and pulling out your small change? Or were you thinking a $100 bill would make her happy? It should, because you'll be overpaying by 80-350%.

3. It sounds like you're wanting to impress the girls. If you want to impress them, give them a handful of gummi worms or other cheap candy and eat their pussy. You'll save a lot of money and you're more likely to succeed.

Having a bunch of girls lined up before you get to Medellin is like having a bunch of birdies lined up before you get on the first tee. You're not going to hit all the holes you think you will.

Your enthusiasm is great and will probably be expensive.

You'll be in Colombia. Pay in Colombian pesos.

Appreciate all the insight and jabs on being a newbie COP it is now to read back and see what a standard price is I've read 150-200 mil.

Yes, and as you read back, note the conversations where chicas will try to pull the "150" or "200" without adding the "k" or "mil".

If a chica tries to tell you she means (150) USD, she's not expecting you to pull out a Benjamin, two Jacksons, and a Hamilton: she's saying she wants COP 548, 562 k, which is beyond absurd.

[JjBee62]

Using dollars is not the kryptonite as some might say. A chica asked me to pay her in dollars once and she was willing to take a discount mainly because I did not want what she was selling and I told her I didn't have the pesos. If you are not giving her more than the standard exchange rate, what difference does it make? For convenience I use pesos of course, but this one time the chica was willing to take a discount for dollars and go down to Iberas and exchange them on the street, no skin off my nose. With that said, I pay in pesos and always negotiate in pesos. I really don't want to be calculating exchange rates and doing math for a sex encounter jajaja. As far as labeling it dumb, that depends on your math ability, I guess, jajaja.

I'll happily label it dumb. In fact, it's downright stupid. Basing how you handle business transactions on "well this one time it worked" is a bad idea.

First, there's the whole idea of pleasing the girl. She's a prostitute. You're paying her to please you. You're not paying her to make her happy.

Next, what are most of the girls going to do with dollars in Medellin? How are they going to exchange it to pesos at 2 am in order to pay a taxi? No matter what the deal, they're going to get screwed on the exchange rate.

Finally, how much change, in dollars, are you traveling with? 100 k right now is $27.33. No matter what the girls are charging, you're going to have a difficult time coming up with the correct change.

If you want to pay for pussy in dollars go to Ecuador or stay home.

Big problem a buddy that bought apartments in Rio during the good old days is having right now. If you can't repatriate the money then..

Very true, most of these countries currency is not fully convertible. Which means that Major world currencies can be exchanged to their currency, but you cannot exchange their currency with Major world currency. When I was leaving Rio for USA, I had approx. 200 dollar worth of local Brazilian currency, but the exchange place at the airport could not exchange for USD. I have to spend all the money at the airport buying things unnecessary. Surprisingly Dominican Republic and Mexico currency is convertible but not India or Brazil whose economy is much better.

You can always bring your money back to USA and there are currency brokers who will charge you a handsome fees. Or maybe you will be lucky to find US, Canadian or European buyer for your apartment.

Thanks, now that makes sense, me like you. Likes to buy income property in USA and spend my money on Colombia, I almost fell for it once when Panama was booming thank god it got to difficult and I backed out!

[Mr Enternational]

Selling the apartment if priced properly will not be the issue, the issue will be if you want to get the money from the sale of the apartment out of the Country, and back into the USA.

he will not lose any money when he moves on, but actually probably make money when he's done!

Yes, it's a definite must to legally record and register all international wire transfers coming into Colombia, so in the future I can repatriate the money back to the USA if needed. If not done properly, the money can never be taken out of Colombia and fines can be levied on the wire transfers. I plan to keep the money in Colombia anyways, but it's always good to have an exit strategy just in case. The dollar is pretty strong right now against the peso, hope it hits 3700 when I get there.

I'll be in Medellin for the first time in September. I will try this with a girl I meet in Gustos or La Isla (After I'm finished day mongering in El Centro of course jajajajaja).

You are not going by where you picked up the chica, but rather how well she knows you and likes you. I wouldn't recommend trying it the FIRST time with any chica no matter where I found her. After you get to know each other a bit, and assuming you have a good vibe (or why would you be seeing her over and over to begin with), then you can say, "All I can pay is XXX, including taxi and tip, and you can leave whenever you want. " My average visit with my regular girls is 2+ hours for this and often much longer. The more they like you, the longer they know you, and depending on how busy they are, the less pesos they will take and / or the longer they will stay.

Random Gratuitous Fotos from my most recent visit to MDE, five different chicas, all regulars, except for the first one, lost track of her but she was a looker and would do just about anything for some of the pink stuff. But I get nervous with chicas who are willing to trade sex for drugs which is probably why she was a one-and-done, with condom of course. Two of them don't charge me (but we all pay one way or another in the end). Secret and her sister on the bed. Catgirl in the crouch. Sexy Dexy ass. Purrfekt Piel on the balcony.
