Medellin Reports

[Mad Mad]

Hi guys,

Going to Medellin this week.

Is there a "red light" district?

Were are the best street pick-up places?

Any good pick-up bars / discotheque?

Best hotel to stay if you want to be close to action?

Thank guys.

Thank you for balancing some of the "I walk anywhere anytime" posts. It helps newbies make better decisions. By the way, an uber driver making conversation told me when we passed it that the "Minorista" market area is very dangerous 24 hours a day. Sure enough, the very next morning I read in the newspaper that someone was murdered at high noon earlier that week near the front entrance. But there is good news, none of us need to hang around the place.

I stayed at Hotel Nutibara in downtown Medellin a few years ago. When I went for a walk around midnight a young idiot grabbed me from behind, and in the ensuing struggle I got knocked onto the sidewalk. I suffered some bruises but wasn't robbed. I'm still not sure what that was about. The night club a block or two from the Hotel that I went to had an armed security guard at the entrance, and a Nutibara Hotel employee later told me the area around the Hotel is dangerous and should be avoided at night. I wouldn't stay at Hotel Nutibara again both because of the crime and noise in the area.

Is this place still open? I remember hitting it up when I stayed at the Nutibara hotel. Hadn't seen much reporting on it. I saw some stunners there the two times I visited.

Just watch your ass leaving this place if it's after dark.

Watch your ass no matter what time it is. I got robbed leaving this place and it was still daylight, around 6 PM.

Yep. I think you do not see it mentioned because many of the posters only go to the casas downtown during the day time and stay away from centro at night. Even though last time I was there me and my girlfriend went in at 1:45 and the guy said they don't open until 2 pm. I don't think it gets live until nightfall though.

I remember walking around Centro at night. Quite frightening if you've never been around that sort of thing (and even if you have). Lots of tweaking drug addicts, shady looking characters, beggars, street kids. Basically looked like a skid row where I was. I walked with a purpose and avoided walking near anyone whose hands I couldn't see. I was also just wearing a tee shirt and jeans with the meanest look I could fake on my face. I must've walked that area three nights in a row, but the more I did it, the more aware I became of potential threats and thus, how to avoid them. Why did I do it? Young and dumb maybe. Were the chicas I banged as a result, worth it? Well, since nothing bad ever happened, I can say Hell yes! Would I blankely advise anyone here to do it? Hell no. Would I do it again? Not solo, no. I've got little people depending on me and the risk to me is not worth the risk to them, nor the supposed reward. I'd take a taxi to and from Conejitos though! Bad booty chicas!

It was open on my last visit in Early April. Like the Centro casas, the talent on average isn't great, but you can find some gems from time to time. Can be a fun party atmosphere when it gets busy. Just watch your ass leaving this place if it's after dark.

Also on my last few visits, I've noticed a large % of fat women here. Not curvy, just plain fat.

Rodeo9112,

Your post with the conversation was excellent. Good work on your part! I did not want to repost since it takes up quite a bit of bandwidth but did want to give you your props for it!

Thank you good sir! I wish my next visit to Colombia was going to be longer than an overnight layover! But, if there's one thing better (arguably) than a Colombian woman, it's a Brazilian woman. I'd love to have one of each and let them compete in doing what they do best. Selling the dream!

I was there in the middle of April 2016 and it was open. I went there at night around 11 pm. There was not much talent so I did not session. Hope this helps.

Arrived last week on May 19th. Got in late on a JetBlue flight. Hit the Maloka hostel (private room) in Parque Lleras. Great location. Room was not good. I knew it didn't have AC but the room was very humid and had a musty smell all 3 nights. Bed was hard. Shower would not hold a temperature and would literally go from hot to cold on it's own depending if water was being used somewhere else in the hotel. The bright side is that it was relatively quiet in my room. The location is great and you get breakfast (eggs, toast, coffee, juice).

Got up the next day and first place I went was Energy Massage near Estadio. I was there 2 years ago and saw 2 beauties. This time was different. There was a large lineup of 15 to 18 girls but only one that was decent. I would give her a 7. 5. Literally the others were not good. Girls must be eating a lot more McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts since I was there 2 years ago. Girl was fine. Nothing great. 140 k pesos for an hour.

Late that night I went to Fase Dos. Not a lot of beauties but there were at least 3 that were very nice. One in particular with a flawless face and a body that was perfect. Great boobs, solid stomach. Great service and very relaxing 180 k pesos. I like this place. It's small enough to feel intimate. And the people were friendly. Been there many times.

The next day I hit New Life downtown on Calle 56. Lots of girls. 2 that I really liked. Sofia and I forget the name of the other. Sofia was great. Fun. Smiling. $10 extra for uncovered BJ. Well worth the money.

That night I tried La Isla Club. It's up on the top of the mountain at Las Palmas. Very big place inside. Did not feel intimate to me. I waited for girls to come out. I literally saw one beauty and the rest was completely not interested in. I might go back here again in the future but it's so spacious inside that it doesn't feel personal to me. I was told girls were 200 k to 300 k with room. I left without buying.

Next day I hit Fase Dos at night again. Don't even think of getting to these strip clubs until at least 11:00 pm. They are dead until then. Saw my beauty from the other night but she was busy. I tried another tall very built girl. Not bad. I liked the first one better but not bad. Went home.

Next day I hit New Life again. It was a Sunday and my 2 good looking girls from the other day were not there. Picked a girl that looked like an 8 with shirt on. Was a 7 with shirt off. Not bad. Pleasant. Easy to talk to. Done. Most massage places are closed on Sunday so plan accordingly.

Stayed 3 nights at Maloka Hostel. Stayed last 2 nights at Novelty Suites Hotel next to Oviedo mall in Poblado. Last minute reservations got me a room for an average of $55 per night with a great breakfast buffet in the mornings. Like this hotel a lot. It seems that last minute reservations always seem to be cheaper than advanced ones at this hotel.

Sunday morning they close off the main street through Poblado for 2 or 3 miles and let joggers, bikers, pet walkers, etc. Have the road for at least 5 or 6 hours. Highly recommend walking this road on Sunday mornings. Fresh fruit on side of road, Fresh squeezed orange juice, lemonade, etc. Very pleasant.

I like Medellin. I think this was my 8th or 9th time. Weather is like Spring. Area around Parque Lleras has very nice, cool, hip restaurants, shops, coffee bars, regular bars. Shaded streets make it cooler. I will be back to Medellin soon.

Very nice report. I too have frequented Energy by the estatido a number of times over the course of about 5 years now. Sometimes it's real good selection and sometimes just mediocre at best but I always need to visit and see.

TTM.

No harm, no foul in Shanghai. The touts there are world class. Many an experienced monger has found himself in sideways situations with street vendors, touts, bars / clip joints, etc.

JJBee said, "Don't pull out your expensive anything in public. ".

Expensive is a relative term. The rule my father taught me is too never carry anything that you cannot afford to lose. Many people in South America have smartphones and I have been carrying smartphones for years now. I use the Nexus. Maybe the Iphone is perceived as being more valuable. I never wear a watch or jewelry.

I never had a problem in South America. I did get in over my head in Shanghai once and it cost me $300. I do admit to being a lower profile guy than most of the guys I have met from the Board.

I am heading to Medellin, Colombia and I have no knowledge what so ever of the Spanish language so I better download my app of google translator. (scene) I see this girl in Bar Fahrenheit I want to talk to, man I better bring out my Iphone and type in the translator "you are beautiful can I buy you a drink?" then tap the girl on the shoulder and hand her the Iphone so she can read the message. It is almost like I have to act like I am a deaf mute because I do not understand a word she says back to me, so I have to point to the translator so she can enter her response.

Wow this sure is a good time when my communication has to be through a cell phone app. Next thing I know I am leaving the bar and get robbed as someone saw me bring out my Iphone which obviously made me a mark to the thieves.

You're talking non-pros? A short-time visitor isn't going to have much luck with non-pros regardless of language ability (unless he's George Clooney good-looking). A short-term visitor is going to be heading to the Casas, the Mansion, Fase 2, etc where he'll get by just fine with little / no Spanish. Would being conversant in Spanish improve his experience? Of course, but not likely worth the time and energy involved in getting there.

[Rodeo9112]

Furthermore, most putas can't spell well enough in Spanish for the average translator to figure out what the hell they are saying. What's the translator going to do with 'lo ciento,' for example?

I certainly found this to be true, though the translators usually do enough good to give you the gist.

I've found that those first few basic sentences can give you an idea of whether she's interested or not (I mean if she's interested enough to help muddle through broken conversation, she might be interested enough in making the deal happen and in making you happy:

-Hola, como estas?

-Bien y tu?

-Muy bien gracias.

-Como te llamaS? Or Cual es tu nombre?

-Me llamo xxx.

-Ahhh (insert her name), bonito nombre para una mujer hermosa!

-Gracias!

-De nada. De donde eres?

-Soy de Bogota.

-Ahh Bogota.

-Soy de (insert where you're from).

-She'll say some Spanish gibberish, then you say.

-Mira, mira tranquilo por favor. Despacio. Mi espanol no es bueno. Hablas ingles?

-Aye no Papi, I no ingles.

-Claro, no problema. Soy su maestro de ingles y tu eres mi maestra de amor. Entiendes?

-Claro mi amor. Que te gusta?

-Tu!

-Jajajaja! Donde es su hotel?

Bingo you're in! Figure it out from there. I remember that shit after 6 years of not speaking Spanish! It may be a little off, but the point is (and what I did on my first trip) was to script out (in translated form) what I might need to say in that initial conversation. I didn't need it, but going over a core set of phrases for different situations makes a big difference in your confidence. And if there's one thing women love, it's a confident man. If you no what to say, you can focus on your non verbals and other cues that will help you close the deal. Now, if you know nothing but the word, Cuanto, and your numbers, you can get a girl, but the quality of the experience might not be as great as it could have been. All girls want to be woo'd, even if you're going to be paying them. But if you can make them feel like regular girls and make the transaction (negocios) an afterthought, you might be surprised at the impact your efforts have on your final price. Negocios versus amigos!
