Medellin Reports

This is the move, I love el centro.

Thanks man!

I loved it too. Saw about 5 girls I missed out on last time and have like another 5 I want to repeat with LOL.

Nah, the guys here do not get the higher end seeking girls. The best hotels in Medellin are in the $150 to $300 a night range and if you are entertaining the higher end girls, you should go to a hotel like that. My first seeking encounters in Bogota were in the Hotel Ibis and it was night and day being there compared to the Marriott. Ibis was a shoe box like a Motel 6, and the women would get nervous that you had no money and it would be like "how much" all the time. Ibis is a great place though if you just want to bang Santa Fe hookers.

With the Marriott, the women and I would hit the pool, gym, buffets, and watch Netflix. The women wanted to stay because it was so nice, and none of them ever asked "how much". Hotel quality does not matter for hookers though.

I have tons of points I can use. Is Marriott girl friendly? Are they okay bringing in girls?

I think that place's policy vary by unit and unit owner. Anytime I've passed the place I notice punters and girls in the immediate area. That said, I don't recommend renting a unit that states what you described in its renter's policy.

Anyone been to San Peter apartments lately. I stayed there twice 2 years ago and it was definitely chica friendly and had an on-site bar. Now seeing Airbnb posts saying "Absolutely no Sex Tourism". And some other very strict rules. Anybody have any intel?

Robberies happen in Poblado / Laureles / Sabaneta / Envigado. The odds are somewhat in our favor to avoid them in those gringo gulches because we aren't as unique a target as in the rest of Medellin. The extreme risk of middle of the night forays into the barrios including Centro is well documented. Overall, be aware of surroundings and people and you are more likely than not to have a safe and enjoyable time.

As noted in the post, just as you should in any area, you should generally know areas of Medellin considered dangerous to non-locals. For a newbie, try Poblado and / or Laureles. A cabbie will tell you to put your phone down / out of sight. Or if you're that concerned about your safety with one post on this board, maybe don't go.

4100 or higher and I'm at the ATMs. I loaded up a few weeks ago but there is always room for more when the rate flirts with a 52 week high.

Today's Visa's exchange rate is $3912 COP to the USD.

It will be interesting to see which direction the exchange rate heads this week after the election, I suspect it won't move much, but hopefully am wrong, and if goes up tp 4,200 COP, I'm going to hit the ATM's.

Thanks!

I don't do much. I usually just hit up 3-4 Botero girls a day and walk around el centro during each pop. Then I just go back to the Airbnb right when it gets dark and call it a day.

This is the move, I love el centro.

Petro has already brought some noticeable changes in. Today in the casas, sessions with venezuelanas attract a 30% import duty, due to the new friendly relations between the neighbours. Any customer that exceeds the new worker-friendly 5 minute limit on a session w a chica will be subject to a 20% withholding tax. And all girls are required to install a new track and trace device for bareback clients in case the get pregnant and need to pursue for maintenance.

I fear the worst under this new socialist junta.

Good plan.

Thanks Knowledge.

.... Is this site filled with catfish or is it actually mostly legit? If it's actually legit, maybe I'll consider buying a membership to talk to some of them...

Some of both, Colombia is one of the best places that I have tried to find a seeking date. I think it is evolving into more a P4P/PPM platform then a few years ago.

The interesting thing is that I just looked after reading your post and I found several FB girls. One the the hottest FB Bello girls that I have sessioned with is on Seeking. LOL. And I saw more than one FB girls on it. These are also more classy ones. So there are some overlaps between FB, IG, Seeking. Please don't generalize what I said here. This is only an observation for about less than 10 minutes and I am not a heavy FB monger compared to others that I know.

I guess I overpaid the FB girl. I should have tried to get her on Seeking for a whole day for the going amount. I am kicking myself right now. LOL.

I made a free Seeking account on Friday, and just checked today and saw 300+ interests with 100+ favorited me, but I can't message any of those because I don't have a paid membership. Is this site filled with catfish or is it actually mostly legit? If it's actually legit, maybe I'll consider buying a membership to talk to some of them.

When you create an account on any "dating" website you will almost immediately begin getting hits from women on that site. Mostly these are from fake accounts maintained by each "dating" website in order to convince you to pay for a subscription.

It's simple. Every similar website from Match to Seeking makes money by convincing men to pay for a subscription. If the only hits you receive in the first few weeks are from a couple of 50+ women you're probably not going to spend $100 or more to talk to them. But, if it appears that dozens, or hundreds of women are dying to meet you, cha-ching.

If you spend the money you can probably find some women on Seeking. You'll probably spend at least double what you would spend elsewhere in order to have sex with them and not all will be interested in sex until they are certain you're a good investment.

Seeking is set up for women seeking some type of arranged support, however some women use it for simple prostitution because they can usually get paid more.

If you expect to travel frequently to Medellin, or you wish to find a woman who will happily let you pay her monthly bills, Seeking might be perfect for you. If you're just making a first trip and hoping to get laid, there are many other options which are cheaper, easier and more reliable.

So the taxi thing / Uber thing has me a little scared to go now. Any more insights on how to navigate Columbia safely that would give a noobie some peace of mind here?

This may help. All the people posting here are still alive. Most have visited Colombia more than once, some live here. 100% of us were new to the country at the time of our first visit. If that is not reassuring or encouraging enough it may be best to stay home.

There are a lot of WGs on the site and scammers but for the most part it is legit.
