Found in a hostel by his girlfriend, no signs of violence, empty medicine bottles, and obvious obesity-related health problems. Stop needlessly fear-mongering.

15 mil for a cab is not price gauging. It is on the low end. Arguing or complaining over cab fare of 7. 5 mil (which is not easily found) is ridiculous and using an example of going to McDonalds is idiotic.

Do you really feel cheated or taken advantage because you were asked to pay the standard low price of 15 mil ($3. 60)?

I have been going to Medellin for at least 7 years now and before then Cali. I have a long list of girls that I see and thereafter go out for lunch or dinner. Yes a dinner!

Dinner at decent place will run you around 40 K. Good heavens, I spend the equivalent of $10 for food for a girl that has very little choices in life on how to make ends meet.

And Oh My God! I have also taken some on trips with me as well. And guess what? I paid for them for their time including food and drinks. How silly of me?

The guys here worried about small change like this are true losers. They couldn't get a date where they are from (I wonder why?) And feel a sense of power arguing over small change.
Same guys that worry about $1. 80. Probably couldn't get a job at McDonalds.

Most of the girls live in Bello and it is usually 20 to 25 mil on Uber for the ride back home. 15 mil is very reasonable because most of the girls live far from the tourist areas.

Why is it so aggressive?

Do I have to be told I'm a loser for asking if I'm paying for a cab?

How do you know if I'm available to meet girls in my home country or not? Do you have the eyes of fucking Sauron on your head or something? Northeast Asian girls and Latina girls are different from the skeleton Why should I, a mere sex tourist, be insulted over a cab fare. You are extremely rude.

Yeah, people shouldn't let themselves get price-gouged because of being a foreigner, but there is always a line to draw. If you walk into a McDonalds and see the price of a Big Mac is 20 cents for foreigners and 10 cents for locals, I think it is perfectly fine for people to just pay the premium. The major point is that they are aware of the upcharge and making a best faith effort to not allow themselves to be swindled constantly. Truthfully, a lot of pobrecitos here don't seem to understand that haggling, negotiating, and making a scene over 20 cents doesn't matter to a lot of folks who would be paying $10 for a burger.

It also seems to me that a lot of folks are obsessed with "winning" any exchange. They have to pay bare-bottom prices so they can feel like they got back at the "vapid women" who shun them in real life. They have to be the ones who are on the forum talking about how they get 10/10, amateur, chicas who totally love them for cheap / free. Everybody needs to find balance between being "that" guy and being some poor sap who is getting roped along by chicas and dropping tons of money for sub-par service.

I replied to his post trying to help because no one did

I don't think he is penny pinching. He felt dishonesty. How does you average apply to his situation?

He is from South Korea if he is real. I have not used USD for quite a while and I don't think in USD. If I were going to think in USD, this is how it would go. That amount of money can buy a dinner here, 2 pineapples, at least 25 bananas or mongos, or one lb of ribs. I will convert that to what it would cost in US in USD which is much more. I wasn't even thinking about the amount of the money.

Normally, I paid a flat fee 50 mil for transportation which I have written about. My term is 50 mil even if they take metro, and I offered to pick them up from metro station on top of the 50 mil. I see some of them will take moto and keep more money which is what I want to see. There is one girl that I always call her Uber because she was introduced to me by a friend. She only knows about 3 gringos the last time I asked her. I follow my friend's treatment of her so I don't change her because she was unspoiled in attitude, and grossly undervalued by her appearance despite that she was already paid more than the usual FB girls. Sometimes no Uber was available and she would get the transportation on her own. I always paid her the equivalent of Uber cost. One time I caught her came by moto by accident. The last time I saw her she did not even ask for me to call her a Uber to leave. I guessed it was because she had another date after me at 10PM. That is the advantage of calling Uber for girl. You save a trip if she has another date after you. LOL

Thank you for your help, sir.

But if he's real, what does that mean, sir? Does it mean I'm not going to Medellin, and I'm fake traveling the internet from my basement?

I am a real traveler and have been in Medellin for 8 days now.

Tip. A fact that no one who hasn't traveled to Colombia will know. Colombian women make a snake sound when calling a man Tsuuu Tsuuu.

Fish pictures are parque exploar folks, don't think of the giant aquariums in the US or Europe. These aquariums are fucking tiny, never go to them. It's no bigger than one "section" of an aquarium in the capital of a western country I apologize for only having 2 pictures of Chika. I never sneak photos. Many chikas don't allow photos.

I'm in Medellin and I'm really grateful that people here have helped me, and I'd treat you to a meal if we could meet (I don't drink alcohol.

None of the clubs in Park Lleras are *houses, they are regular style cocktail bars with dance floors like in any major city in the world. Catering to foreign tourists out for a good time. Girls will hang out at them seeking to meet foreigners, but that's not the sole existence of the club and there aren't any rooms in the back for sex or anything like that. Also, all clubs / bars in the world will serve non-alcoholic drinks (coke, red bull, water, orange juice, etc.).

We're sorry if we offended you. I thought it was because the club staff always touted the park as having lots of hot girls. I'll go there today and give you a review.

[Wkahddl2]

I agree with your every word. I think a few of our "compatriots" think that these young women grew up dreaming of the day that they could sell their female parts to some fat, slob who doesn't bathe for enough money to feed themselves and their baby for a couple of days. Yep I'm sure that was their dream.

And low and behold here comes prince gordo, who wants to negotiate the price of their taxi (or metro) to save that $1.80.

If a guy can't afford to be decent he should go to the casas where the price is fixed, there the girls won't expect a tip so they should be right at home.

What is fucking Prince Gordo?

I've read the past posts here. I really don't understand the 'why' people here are arguing about.

When did I say I tried to 'negotiate'?

She asked for money for a cab and I offered to call her an Uber. She said she had already called a cab and I gave her the money without saying anything.

Why do people here fight over things like this? I'm new to Colombia and I was wondering if it's common for a man to pay for a taxi. And the amount she asked for was exactly double the Uber fare. I was wondering if this is common or if she raised the price on purpose. I don't understand why everyone is fighting over this.

Yes, that's right, 15000 pesos is 5000 won in Korean money.

Holy shit, fucking 5000 won doesn't even cover the basic taxi fare in Korea.

That's not enough money to buy a meal.

It's the price of a damm 1 Big Mac.

Is it weird to ask, just out of curiosity? It can be off-putting to have a price jacked up, even by 10 cents.

I once bought Colombian Vienna sausages from a street vendor at the San Antonio station and the vendor asked me 1500 pesos for one sausage.

When I bought Colombian Vienna sausages in the Plaza Botero 30 minutes later, they were 700 pesos for 1 and 2000 pesos for 3. When I handed over 2200 pesos, the honest vendor gave me back 200 pesos with a smile!

I felt bad when I realized that I was selling the same sausage to a foreigner for twice the price.

Yes gentlemen I only lost 800 pesos, damn it I've never seen a cent coin, I know it's a fucking small amount of money in American money.

But I do feel bad about it. Just out of curiosity, what did you not like so much about it, sir?

For enough money to feed themselves and their baby.

She was Venezuelan and had the latest iPhone, sir.

To conclude, I never tried to 'negotiate', the translator might be weird so if everyone have something to say, ask.

Reality is that there are different price structures that exist out there for locals and foreigners in many countries for things like transit fares. Even mongering in brothels in Singapore openly state that locals pay cheaper rates than foreigners. That's just the way it is.

As for price negotiating with the ladies, I do agree that even if we are to be successful in low balling them, we could very well end up with crappy service. So we do have to find a fine line. On the other end, I for one don't believe in paying top rates if the ladies are asking for them when the numbers start to move towards what I can get in my home region where there is a thriving pay for play scene that exists already. Why should I pay at the same rates or even higher than what I can get at home for good talent?

So in my case, maximums of what I'm willing to pay when I arrive in Colombia might very well be a bit different compared to other tourists just because of where I'm from. This will be especially the case between those of us coming from Canada (especially Toronto and Montreal) compared to our friends from the USA. That's why we end up seeing many of our American friends especially from the northeastern states come up to Toronto and Montreal to monger.

These forums are helpful in trying to find what the middle grounds might be down in Colombia.

If you walk into a McDonalds and see the price of a Big Mac is 20 cents for foreigners and 10 cents for locals,

You changed the subject. In your example, they charge you 40 cents which is twice of what is listed.

[TheDerilious]

I guess when you go to mcdonald's and the price of the big Mac says 15 mil on the sign you just hand them 30 mil? Mr Papaya 🤣.

You have to be kidding? $1.80 to these girls means a lot. How on earth can you justify comparing this to overpaying for the metro?

Really? This is an example of how guys lose touch or don't give a damn on how tough life is in Colombia for these girls and their families. Shameful is what it is.

$1.80 , Just the idea of haggling for that amount is disgusting.

Newsflash: Life is tough for everybody, not just Colombian hookers. And NOBODY in this thread is going to Medellin with the purpose of making life better for the hookers and their families. They are going there because they can pay chicks to get their dick wet. If they cared so much about the girls and their families then they could just send the money through Western Union without going to fuck, as I am sure you do. You will be blessed for your benevolence.

Today marks my sixth day in Medellin. I've been to llears Park four times already. The staff at the club now know my face by heart and pretend to know me LOL But I still haven't gone to any clubs. I don't drink alcohol. The clubs in Yeras Park are not clubs, they are de facto *****houses.

Tough luck. I'm not there to support hookers. I am there to use them. No moral issues with that at all. If any of those girls were in the US they would not even look at you.

Sounds harsh but what I am saying is if roles were reversed you can bet your ass that they would not give a flying FK about you either.

With that attitude you are probably right. No girl would give a flying FK about you.
