Medellin Reports

[Zeos1]

Digital Nomads consist of people working remotely using Medellin's high speed infrastructure I. E. We Work sites, hostels and cyber cafes. Already they include travel bloggers / adventurers, eco tourism people, investment bloggers and well. I predict tourism will grow exponentially. Like a skyrocket! It's not their income that will increase prices but who they reach. They are MEGA influencers. I doubt many will want to visit El Centro so not too much to worry about here. They will hit the malls, take tours, eat out, fill up hotels. Might be hard to get an uber on the weekends. LOL Best to move to Bogota before it's also discovered.

Digital nomads, or more broadly the digital economy of Medellin, is growing most likely. But tourism overall is nowhere near what it was pre-Covid, it is recovering but not there yet. I'm in a hotel that would have been full pre-covid. And I can see two other larger hotels next door essentially. Occupancy is probably 10%. So the tourism numbers have a ways to go. And the digital nomad guys, yep, I talk to lots of them. None of them are even looking at the digital nomad visa. And they are not in the tens of thousands, and are not affecting much of anything other than the market for furnished rentals in possibly a couple of areas, although again, with tourism not back fully yet that is not much of an issue.

Cost inflation and inflation in general is an issue, but I don't think the mongers or digital nomads or even tourism has much or anything to do with that. It is more of the same that has happened and is happening in the rest of the world.

And as far as mega influencers and all of that. Who knows. If they influence tourism they may become a factor in bringing back tourism. There are a lot of backpackers and younger tourists in general, although again, not back to pre pandemic levels.

LOL. Like so many guys here, you are literally doing the sour grapes thing. Whatever preconceived notions you have of seeking, they go out the window when you meet the women. Most of the women I put in the hooker or never want to see them again category straight up. But there are a few that are in the possible sugar baby category, and a very few move up into the SB / GF category, and the women are judging me likewise.

But you have two things way wrong. Every guy I know who uses seeking has gotten tired of the hookers and is looking for better. They do not go on the site looking for love. With men, sex comes first and then love, and it is the opposite for women.

The second thing you have way wrong is that women do not go on the site because of its name. They go on it because their friends have, and their expectations are whatever their friends got: money, Iphone, husband ETC. Yes, there have been many women who have gotten their husbands from the site.

The less important thing is every guy I know who uses seeking knows there are the hooker types on the site. And sure why wouldn't the hooker types use seeking in addition to FB or IG? Yeah, I would not be shocked if there were an 80 or 90% overlap. However, what you do not see is the beautiful women who fucked me and expected no compensation. Heck, I had one girl I gave a few hundred bucks to try to give me the money back because she wanted to be my GF. I cannot tell you the top seeking girls do not use FB or IG, but I would be surprised if they did. They do not need to.

What you do not see that I do is a guy who has his big head trying not to be envious of what this guy Davv got and a little head that is envious, and you are trying to rationalize how your dick is feeling. I know when I was married, I had all the bullshit excuses about staying married that I am sure you have.

If you are really married, then you should be happy with what you got but obviously you are not and want better. The best you can get when you are married is a SB looking mostly for money, and it does not make much sense for you to have a SB or babies unless you are in Colombia. To get a quality GF, you would have to lie and lead her on. A woman is not going to open up to a married man as compared to when you are single. I have been in both spots. I know.

Obviously, your brain is winning the battle with your dick, and that is fine. It is only when your dick wins, and I am 99% sure it will eventually, that you should even look at seeking. So it is not for you and quit the nonsensical worrying about others. They have experience with the site, and you do not.

Thanks Elvis, with words of wisdom there is hope. . . Some of you might want to switch over to the SA part of ISG. Link is under dating agencies below. IMHO Colombia (maybe MX) is the promised land.

A different take for you on the digital nomads of which the government is estimating there will be about 45,000 of them issued in the next year and a half. I would estimate that maybe 1/2 of the Visas will go to women, and the other 1/2 say to men, some of which are gay. Of those men, a lot of them will be "non-mongers", being younger guys, so I see little impact on mongering prices, however as you mention, as Colombia develops tourism wise, especially Medellin, it will drive prices up for everything which is no surprise. And even with increased pricing that has been going on, the Country is still a bargain. Where can you get gasoline for around $ 2 USD, and get fucked for as low as $ 10 USD short of going to India or somewhere in Africa. I have noticed a logarithmic increase in tourism since the Pandemic in Medellin. Everything changes as your aware, but it's going on all over the World with prices going up everywhere, but Colombia is still at a fraction of pricing compared to other mongering venues. We can all complain about it, but there isn't much we can do about it.

I have been in Medellin for a few days now and it feels about the same. I am staying in Laureles now so far the food has been great. There are definitely a lot of wonderful places to eat in Laureles. Later this week I'm going to move to Poblado for the last part of my trip. This is my fourth trip so I'm starting to get the hang of things. In my previous trips I used Facebook exclusively and this trip is no different. There are more than enough options on Facebook so far things have been going very well for the most part. There is still time for me to be drugged and robbed but so far everything is fine.

LOL, that drugged and rob part, it's cheaper and safer for me to delta vacation Spain, enjoy stay safe LOL.

Some of them are Venezula IT guys, not just the "well paid" US or EU based gringo, this is a myth. The bar to entry is low. This is not an investment visa. Stop worrying about the competition.

Anyone on this forum who is here for a weekend, your market is the dumb Parque Llleras girls and some strip club broads. This is your main competition, the girls are demanding to be paid by the hour and some guys willing to throw the ask price cash at them. This is a city of four million, and every girl wants a sugar daddy to support them, just find a way to meet them.

This is the new era of Instagram, everyone wants a new iPhone, figure this out guys haha.

So why don't you ask for pictures without makeup? I do not like chicks with makeup so it is normal for me to ask.

I also ask if they have any babies. I always ask a prostitute in Parque Lleras, or Tinder or SA if they have a baby. It's almost always a disqualifier. I am not paying hourly to look at saggy boobs.

Tens of thousands. Dream on. The digital nomad visa will change nothing. Most of the digital nomads that are here do just fine without it.

Overall new comers will change the real estate market. When the real estate market is booming, it will not be limited in one single area.

Just reading reports here one should know the price is changing. Remember an experienced poster was asked to pay way more money than usual in the more expensive centro club. I think there is a reason they asked for the high price. It is because by luck some other guys, likely new paid it. And in this case, the girl was also successful. This is not limited in just one club. Basically there are guys think it is so cheap and very happy to pay despite overpaying.

Many girls basically want to have a gringo boyfriend to take care of them. It does not matter if it is seeking or facebook. Just reading reports here you know people are paying for SB, and sometime more than one and he is not even in Medellin.

[BlueChange]

Drop that number from tens of thousands to several hundred, maybe 1 thousand.

In a city of over 4 million.

Facts, the GPD of tourism in Colombia in general is like less then 3%. There might be an uptick but it is NOT going to be like disneyland numbers or anything like that.

The big factor is the language for sure. If there is a big push for education and english here I can see something but that would also mean more economic jobs here which is not happening anytime soon.

There are maybe going to be an extra 500 dudes here a year and that's about it.

[Zeos1]

Tens of thousands of young men earning western wages staying in Medellin for the long term. I think that this is not bode well for mongers. Medellin already has increased numbers of men visiting. The promotion of the digital nomad Visa I think will eventually change Medellin for the worst and drive up prices. How can I not drive up prices when you have so many westerners coming earning Western wages needing to rent and looking for girls? That is my take on the digital nomad Visa.

[JustinFields]

Going to medellin for the first time.

Not really looking to make my trip all about the girls but I will partake in a little pay for play.

Where do you guys recommend I stay?

Should I take Uber or Taxi?

How dangerous is it?

Do all hotels not allow guests? Any friendly air bnb's or hotels that allow guests?

Thanks for your help and pm me if you want.

Poblado and Laureles for the weekend warriors, plus Sabaneta and Envigado for longer term residents get by far the most gringo demand. The rest of the city is not as of much interest to foreigners. The pace of construction in gringo areas is definitely not keeping up with the recent demand so prices will continue to rise in those areas until either the demand slows or the pace of construction picks up.

It will drive up prices in certain parts of the city but Medellin as a whole will be fine imo.

She has GIANT crate face ACNE that she covers up with about 8 lbs of makeup. The closer she got the more I could see neil armstrongs footprints.

Sorry this forum needs to get back to reviews. But here is a warning!

50 K Shannon to leave!

So I was talking to another one from SA. (The unofficial sponsor of BB) and this cute tiny one appeared.

We have been trying to link all week. I have say this girl is the king of lighing and filters.

I call her an Uber, it's waiting 12 minutes. She stop responding so I'm like "fuck it I'll get someone else".

And cancel the ride. 15 minutes later this girl tells me she is on her way in the taxi and asking me why I canceled it! Bbeeootcchhhh the time you took to respond I could have watched an entire marathon of Seinfeld.

Anyway now I got to go meet.

Her downstairs and pay cash.

Etc. She shows up like 40 min later and as soon as I saw her I wish I put her back into that fucking uber.

She has GIANT crate face ACNE that she covers up with about 8 lbs of makeup. The closer she got the more I could see neil armstrongs footprints. We reluclantly went up the elevator as I was trying to figure out what to say.

She uses my bathroom, comes back out. Ok not only is the face a mess but she is beyond thin, she has that malnursiehed thin look to her. Like she hasn't eaten since last year.

I just muster up. Sorry this isn't going to work. I give her 50 K to leave and then call her a taxi. It's PEAK and the fucking taxi are NOT picking up. I'm like fuck! I hand her another 50 K and leave and tell her to use that and just hail one.

This see*nt has the nerve to text me while I'm upstairs "can you call me another, because the taxi is soo expensive" I'm like "stupid bEETCH that is what the other 50 K is for! Fuck off".

Here is the bitches face that tricked me. Don't be fooled by Sharron, fuck off!
