Medellin Reports

[Knowledge]

A little more than two years ago during the lockdown the US dollar reached a record high of 4,000 pesos. About one year ago the US dollar reached 4,000 again. You know where it is now. There are contracted costs like residential leases, gym memberships, and Internet subscriptions that don't increase. Food costs are up. A roast chicken at Exito used to cost 13,000, now it's 18,000. When it was 13,000 the dollar was at 4,000. Now the 18.000 chicken with the peso at 5,000 costs less than US $0. 25 more than it used to. You don't need to be concerned. Moving on to casas, most of them have increased in cost by 5,000 pesos, about 10% to 15% more while the value of the US vs. The peso has increased by more than 20%. You don't need to be concerned about that either.

My buddy just texted me that he got 5000+ cop per USD out of the ATM. Unfortunately I am not in Colombia at this moment. Have prices gone up for food and rent noticeablly in the past 2 months as well? And how is mongering like now, still same rates at casas?

I'm with you. If I can't afford to lose something or have it stolen then I don't want to own it. Life is short.

Man up. Don't let somebody punk you out of carrying your usual phone.

Where are there strip clubs who pay their dancers? In every club I've been to in the US the dancers have to pay the club to work there. One place I was very familiar with they had to pay $40 to work a shift plus give part of their earnings to the DJ and the Bartender. Go to a US club and ask a girl how much she has to tip out.

In places where the dancers don't have to pay to work they're required to sell a certain number of lady drinks.

From the title I thought you had a legitimate complaint, but everything you're griping about is just the way things work.

I was paying $10 at the door and $5 a beer 20 years ago and the minimum tip was $1 instead of about 40 cents. You paid $9 for entry and a beer and got pissed off and left because 2 dancers asked for 40 cents?

You pay the fee, buy a beer and give the waiter 50 k and tell him you want change. He'll bring back 24 2 k bills (2 k tip for him). When a girl comes offstage and comes to your table you show her a 2 k bill. She will dance and rub on you, let you touch her and usually put in 10 k worth of effort for the 2 k tip. Repeat as necessary. Once girls see you're tipping they will be more interested. They're not going to bother with someone who paid $9 to sit and stare at his phone. Instead of pretending it's a phone booth, pretend you're in a strip club with naked women dancing and semi to fully naked women rubbing on you and trying to get you to fuck them. It makes for a much better experience.

Did you miss the part where I said I was not into either of the dancers? I have no problem tipping girls I want attention from. That system makes sense and is consistent with them paying the club to work there. But if I didn't even watch you dancer and I don't want any attention from her, and I paid a cover to get in and overpaid for a drink, then no, they don't deserve a tip. Like I said it's not about the money, it's about the principle. I have to tip the bartender to get small bills to tip girls that I don't want attention from just for doing their job? Stop trying to act like I'm the one being ridiculous. The system is stupid.

[TalkYes]

I hate to be that guy, but all of this is in the forum. Also, I was at Fase II last night (Thursday) and they charge 30 k cover. I'm not sure if that's based on night or just the new cover for all nights.

Dude there's only so much of the forum I can read when 1 out of 20 posts is a report and the rest is people arguing over definitions of pros and semi pros and how much of a difference good chemistry makes etc etc. Could have avoided the mistakes if I read the entire forum. Cool. Still not going to.

All strip clubs are stupid and a waste of money. Those 2 k bills could be put to much better use than giving them away for free for nothing. If you want sex 30 k in Centro, if want beer 3 k for a tall can Andina beer at your local tienda in the barrio. You want to waste money on bullshit, by all means go to the strip clubs like a dumb gringo.

So wait, you have all of la Isla girls come by you and flash their stuff. You give everyone 2,000 cop and this means you spend 100,000 COP during the entire evening. About $20 usd. LOL That SUCKS.

No where in the USA can you do this without the bouncer slapping you around for what I'm thinking you will be doing when he is not watching. WAIT, no one cares about contact in La Isla. Sucks.

BTW many times I have gotten change for my HUGE 100,000 COP note so I can tip wandering dancers.

Meanwhile there are tables full of "weekend warriors" possibly next to the stage who are have 10 X more fun than you ever had in your life. SUCKS again.

I will be there November. I think I will double that tip. Hell make it $1 per girl!

Day 4 in Medellin, continuing to have a shit time.

All the strippers are panhandlers, they come up to you demanding a tip and even if you give them one they don't thank you, they just walk off with a shit attitude like they shouldn't even have to ask.

Found a cute street girl but forgot to bring my own condom, tried to use the one from the hotel and it was cutting off circulation to my dick, coudn't stay hard, left with blue balls.

A casa sent me photos of all the girls working there, they all looked like 10's. Got there and they were all 6's at best except one who was a bit hotter. Picked her and she just fucking abused the shit out of my dick (not in a good way) to make me cum in 5 minutes even though I paid for an hour. Like she had a deathgrip for the HJ and when she mounted me she was like going as fast as she could. I didn't cum within the first 30 seconds and she gave me a little slap as if to say wtf, most guys cum by now. Then she went in doggy as if to say I'm done doing all the work. Started to get my Rhythm and then she started going back and forth fast and I just had a really unpleasant finish. I got up and left all pissed off.

I had one decent session with a girl from photoprepagos but she wasn't nearly as hot as her photos. Not going to bother finding the link but she has blue hair, you'll see her if you look. Booked another session with a photoprepagos girl but she kept me waiting outside for 20+ minutes after our appointment was supposed to start, said fuck this and left.

I have a bunch of seeking girls lined up but from the little bit of communication they offer, I can't help but sense micro-examples of shit attitudes, can't bring myself to pay the prices they are asking with my suspicions that they are probably going to be stuck up bitches. Like they'll take forever to respond but if I don't respond right away they'll hit me with the " Or just purposely being slow and bad at communicating and then they'll want to reschedule when it's taking to long to work out the details. Or I'll suggest a short time hotel that looks decent and they'll be like "no conoces un mejor?" Like no, I don't, this is your city, and plus we're only using the hotel as a place to fuck, why do you care so much? I know I'm kinda throwing the baby out with the bathwater. My shit attitude from my shit experiences is causing a cascading effect and it's only going to cause more shit experiences but fuck, I can't help it. I just feel like these girls all think they're all supermodels rather than hookers. I just wish I went to Brazil or stayed in Bogota. Just needed to vent. Feel free to tell me to stfu.

I arrived late last night so I decided to go to fase II. 20 mil cover
..... She finished dancing and comes and asks me for a tip for her dancing. I say no, that's what I paid cover for. At this point I'm pissed. It's not about the money, it's the principle.

... Oh another thing, when the host made the change for me, I told him I needed a place where I could bring a guest back. He tells his wife this and she picks me up to take me to the hotel, and she's explaining this to the lady at the desk and they're telling me it's fine as long as it's only one person. Man I almost cringed to death. Now this hotel makes them sign in with ID and shit. Bruh.

As others have noted, I personally find spending $0. 40, or $1 for that matter, for a young Paisa to dance on my crotch for 1-2 minutes high value used of my money, but to each their own.

That was during my first visit, A gringo who lived locally told me he kept 1 mil bill for tip. I had one bill so I tipped the La Isla dancer but she insisted that I gave her 2 mil.

That letting them walk around with big plastic bags asking for tips will be the death of them, horrible policy, give girls bad attitude and service! I'm not cheap by any means, and been in strip club biz for many years! I will tip for good service and good attitude, not just a girl standing in front of me me bag wide open and pissed off if not tip!

[Nounce]

I'm not sure Colombia is still printing the 1 k bills. Every one I've seen was old and worn out. Tipping with coins in a strip club is bad form.

... And how is mongering like now, still same rates at casas?

.... A second Mariana is exotics looking, 21,300 USD for an hour. I asked how much was in COP. She showed me on her phone and it was more than 1. 5 million. ....

Based on my observation, the price has gone up. LOL.

I'm not a newbie.

I've mongered in jaco and Sousa.

I'm just exploring new experiences in Medellin- use FB and have someone to eat dinner with.

Doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to have sex with my dinner companion.

Everything is so cheap in Columbia. I have no issues dropping $30 for a young dinner companion to converse with.

It's not all just about sex.

I'm not attacking you here, so keep calm. Jaco and Sosua don't earn you a lot of mongering street cred. Neither place is difficult and there's not a steep learning curve. The most common risk is being overcharged.

There's nothing wrong with just finding girls who will just have dinner and talk. However, some precautions are prudent.

I'm thinking there was some confusion. I'm not positive, but I believe the cheapest bottle of liquor is 95 k. You need to buy a bottle to get a seat on one of the couches. Instead of asking for a bottle of water, if he had asked for agua sin gas or con gas he probably would have gotten a much lower price,

Not sure if he knows Spanish. Could have been agua-rdiente.

....Day 4 one of the Tinder chicas contacted me over whatsapp and asked if I still wanted to meet up with her and her friend. By this time I had forgotten the advice from 3 days earlier and said sure. I arrived at a club around 9 pm and had several drinks before the two chicas showed up. I went outside to meet them. They were pretty average looking but as I didn't have anything else lined up, I thought I would see where this would lead. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed some dude looking at me real hard. I figured he was salty because I was a gringo chatting up a couple of local women and ignored him. Continued my small talk with the chicas. I asked them to come inside the club. They said they did not want to go inside and just wanted to go back to my place. I'm thinking. Whoa - these girls want to get right to it! Great. So I called an uber. Uber drops us off at my apartment. When we got out the girls said "hey, let's get some drinks before we go inside. There's a bar down the street we can go to. " Yes, I know what you're thinking. But in my defense I was drunk and horny. I said OK and we started walking and talking. After about 3-4 minutes, a car screeches to a stop right next to us. Two guys hop out. One points a gun directly at me, doesn't say anything, and just stares at me like he would absolutely love to pull the trigger. I put my hands up and said "hay no problema. " The girls that were giggling and chatting with me only seconds ago worked with the driver to shake me down. Seconds later they all hopped in the car and sped off. The stuff they stole was all easily replaceable and the money was pocket change. The thing I really didn't like was having a gun pointed at me. I later saw that the tinder profile was cancelled so the whole thing was a scam. Who knows how many of the other tinder or facebook accounts are also scams.

Hope this helps others. Good luck and stay safe.

Perhaps guys in similar situations should ask to take a photo of the girls on first meeting them. If they refuse, cancel.
