Medellin Reports

[IamLookin]

The issue is not large crowds or shoppers or the guys trying to get you to go into their restaurants or shops. It's about the filth and danger in that area. Too many members here try minimizing or even worse, make it sound that this the normal way of life in Medellin. It is not normal. Walking around deprecation while you keep your eyes wide open on your sorroundings out of fear is not normal. Knife fights happen there often. I know, one of the few times I was there it happened. Hang out there at night? I guess you deserve a medal for something or other? You really think crimes committed in el centro get reported? I know many girls that have been victims of theft and assault there. Sure there is crime in poblado and laureles but those areas will definitely get more news than el centro. Can you provide where you are getting your statistical data that poblado or laureles is more dangerous than el centro? Please share that.

Your generalization is as unfair as the one you're complaining about.

I've wore out 2 pairs of shoes walking around Medellin. I'd guess I've covered more territory than most. Tourists have been assaulted and robbed, or drugged and robbed in Laureles and Poblado, as much or more than in El Centro.

Let's get it straight, El Centro is not for everyone, especially now when it's jam packed with shoppers. If large crowds bother you, or if seeing people sleeping on the street bothers you, you will be uncomfortable. There's a lot of noise and activity, which can be intimidating. There are always guys trying to get you into their store, restaurant or club. There are beggars and people selling everything. And mixed in are people who will pick your pockets if given the chance.

However, it's also vibrant, filled with normal, friendly people. It's the heart of the city and something everyone should experience. Afterwards you can run back to Laureles or Poblado, lock your doors, take a shower and make up stories about how brave you were to stick your hand into the jaws of death.

Certainly there are risks. Just last night I walked out of Grill Nueva Avenida and a guy with a tray of candy started bumping against me. He was trying to distract me so he could slip my phone from my front pocket. I caught him at it, stuffed my phone back and he backed up. No violence or threat to my life. Just a look of fear when I caught him and a look of relief when I didn't start yelling.

Medellin is a well-designed city with an ideal climate. Prices are quite affordable compared with most worldwide destinations. The prepagos scene has good variety to keep everyone happy. Culturally sex is more conservative so you won't see the craziness apparent in locations across East Asia or Europe. El Centro area may provide a more toned-down version of Bangkok for certain individuals. If you're obviously an expat this is not the best advice.

Safety was the biggest concern by far spending a few weeks in Medellin. If you're a white guy you will stand out in a bad way. I did have some minor scuffles in my stay from very aggressive junkies after the sun set. If you are not in very good shape and sober with at least workable Spanish I would not recommend going out alone in Medellin, something I did the entire trip. Everyone from locals to larger middle-aged black American guys thought I was unwise coming alone. I always had a concern any time I was out in public anywhere in the city at any time. My astuteness and aggressive defense when junkies tried to get close I think kept me safe from a stabbing or other robbery attempt. Locals agreed it is acceptable to physically threaten street trash of which I had to do a few times, unfortunately. If you're not ready to throw hands or kicks or run at a moments notice Medellin is not the best place for a solo foreign traveler. Strolling around border towns in the evening in Mexico is a walk in the park compared to this city.


I'm not sure about ever returning, at least solo, outside of a need for a quick romp trip. The location is ideal if a US citizen is located near a major international transit hub into Latin America. For a quick trip you can stomp through several girls in short order and make a quick flight back home. Prices are unbeatable in most places across the world for the quality, to my knowledge and experience. It's not nearly as fun as any other known destination, including Tijuana, as it's difficult to enjoy with all the robberies and druggings going on.

Thanks for summing up el centro, Medellin. Very accurate, truthful and well written.

Of course you will have guys that are blinded by sex addiction that can't or won't see it that way.

Nothing and no one will change their mongering mentality.

"see I made it, and so can you!

"they only stole my fake wallet".

"its the cost of doing what we do".

"its only a flesh wound".

Hey guys,

Anyone knows a safe and girlfriendly hotel or apartment?

There are so many choices but its difficult to choose.

My requests:

- max $60 a night.

- safe / security.

- girlfriendly.

- Laureles.

- 3/4 star.

- some view will be nice (terrace not needed).

Also if anyone goes there in February / March / April, let me know. Would be nice to hit El Centro together to get some numero de telefonos.

San Peter Apartments sounds like what you're after. Very chica friendly, no joiner fee, and right in Laureles. Stay on a higher floor to avoid the worst of the surrounding noise.

Just be advised, it's Colombia, not the USA 3/4 star accommodations there are a shade more basic.

I am currently in Medelland. The arrival was a bit shitty because Medellin's airport is currently performing maintenance at night (around 1 am). My initial flight was a bit late so it got cancelled because Medellin's airport shut down at 1 am. I don't know if they are done w the maintenance but if you flight is late you might end up w a cancelled flight.

A few of my friends went semi pros. They told me there is a bunch of mexican guys recruiting Medelland girls. Kicker is that these mexican guys only want them for more than 2 months and after that they get new girls. They can come back after 2 months.

I am always happy to see my friends and I like to think they are happy to see me too. Happy to share their contact info. I feel terrible that I can only see them once or twice because of work.

Any contact info you would greatly appreciated, sent you an inbox also.

Many posters on ISG believe that the lower they rate a girl the higher their tastes would appear to be so I conducted an experiment by posting a photo of a former Miss Colombia to confirm just that. You had mfs rating her 4 and what not. My rating is a 7 and possibly higher if I see her in real life.

It wasn't a good experiment. As I've stated before I use a simple rating system. Do I want to fuck her? If someone insists I convert a Boolean scale to a numeric scale, then they are likely only getting a 4, 5, or 6 (I don't want to fuck her, maybe, or I think I want to fuck her).

Based on the photo I don't want to fuck her. If I wanted to appear as if I have higher standards, I'd have simply done an image search, found out who she was then rated her at whatever level I thought you would rate her. Because the sure-fire way to impress others with your taste is to agree with them.

But I don't care how you rate her. It doesn't matter in the least to me. If you were my best friend it still wouldn't matter. When a girl is looking up at me with my cum dribbling down her chin, I don't wonder what you thought of her blowjob skills. When I'm mid plunge into a tight pussy, I don't ask myself if you would think it's tight or loose. When she walks out my door I don't fret over whether or not you find her attractive. I fuck simply for my pleasure, not to try and impress anyone else.

I did a similar, although I cringe to call it an experiment, a couple of years ago. I posted pics of 5 or 6 girls I knew. Some guys wanted to know where I found them. Some called them ugly or said they wouldn't fuck them for free. The difference? Guys who dislike me disliked the girls. Guys who liked me, or had no opinion, liked the girls.

To add more confusion, I think the girl is attractive. I'd be happy to look at her, but her look isn't sexually enticing to me. As I said before, this forum is about fucking, not looking. Next time clarify the parameters of your experiment.

So it looks like our thinking on this isn't so different after all! LMFAO! Including on how some guys go about rating optics, and why they do what they do. They will deny it, but I've lived long enough to understand and recognize a lot about human behavior. And then when they find out it's Miss Colombia they cry foul and say you tricked us! LOLOLOL!

This is just a ridiculous claim. No one's taste is 'higher' pr 'lower', simply different.

...For what it is worth though, my favorite Medellin find was a five foot, 115 pound gal who was more cute than hot who was an absolute tiger in the sheets, and she had a great personality. She was not the type with a line out the door but she would have had one if guys knew how good in bed she was....

I have similar observation. Energetic is what I like to use to describe them.

[Nounce]

... My rating is a 7 and possibly higher if I see her in real life.

That rating is based on the photo, right? Is the photo photoshopped in your opinion?

You said it could go higher when you see her in person, but it could go lower too, right?

[Turgid]

What is your rating of her?

Are you aware of that almost all posts like your original post have a bias?

Sounds like you spent your time in El Centro which is the arm pit of Medellin. How someone can generalize the entire city of Medellin from staying in that area is beyond me. I have been traveling to Medellin for the last 6 years. I go there alone every 2 to 3 months and stay several weeks or more at a time. I stay in Laureles at a 4 star hotel that offers everything I need at an economical price. I take long walks in the area (parque laureles) and never had an issue. I have friends that are expats living in the area that can tell you the same thing. None of which find the need to venture to the cesspool known as El Centro where you will run into the kind of trouble you described.

Hey man,

Would you name the hotel? I'm curious because I'm looking between multiple options in Medellin.

Show some love to Centro. LOLOL!

What did you give them? Money or a physical gift? I myself just ask them straight up if they are a female companion, I use the I'd like to take you to dinner approach because I do want to visit some nice restaurants while I'm there either way and I tell them if I like them and they like me we can agree to a price to go back to my place after our night out. I tell them I like to be honest and direct about what I want so we both don't waste our time. Let's be real these girls no the game. So far all the ones I've contacted have told me they are indeed companions and would love to see me.

Do you trust rappi? Do they seal the bag of food and drinks like they do with door dash and uber eats here in the states? Like you said I would hate to get sick too.

I gave them cash after I finished. I suppose some might be okay with gifts but I'm not looking to get into any arguments with an angry girl over $60-$80. I also did bring a few gifts which I gave away as a surprise to the best performers, both to reward them and because I'd be interested in seeing them in the future. There's been some discussion here about girls wanting money upfront sometimes; I didn't experience that. But maybe if you're staying in a less nice apartment that's more likely.

There's no one correct approach so everyone's welcome to approach this however they want. The reason I wasn't as direct in Colombia is there's a mix of pros and semi-pros and I wanted to be welcoming to both. Given it seemed to be about half and half between girls who brought up money, there clearly are plenty of girls who either prefer not to discuss it or think there are men who prefer not to. But I doubt there are a lot of semi-pros who clutch their pearls at men who are super direct.

My recollection was the bags and boxes had sticker seals from the restaurants but I'm not 100% certain. That wasn't something I was concerned with as I don't think there's much incentive for anyone to screw with the food. The restaurants want repeat business and if the food is tampered with Rappi has the info of the delivery people. But if you're concerned about that, it's easy to catch an Uber or inDriver to a nice restaurant.
