Posts: 1173Nobody in Colombia is your friend. Thinking that is when you get set up. These girls are sharks, and every Colombian guy is jealous of you and secretly resents you because you're American. We see more money in a month than they see in a year. They will not think twice about robbing you. You don't know who to trust, so trust none. Muhammad Ali did an interview about snakes and white people in the 60's. It holds true for visiting Colombia. I'll let him explain it: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tHLIpJGuGeo.

But the summary is still interesting. I would hope it is not being absorbed into the app's database though.

Posts: 32People on here openly talking about being completely new to everything, first trip report to anywhere is a month ago and it's a lesson in what *not to do. A few weeks later you are an expert on the "deteriorating situation" in Medellin. Now you tell us you've never even been to the Philippines but based on what you read someone else say, and a video chat, that asian pussy is better than Colombian pussy because of your tastes. You'll have to investigate in person you say, and oh by the way everyone beware of the importance of air conditioning. Bro, nothing wrong with being new or green or even dumb, but stop pretending you have any idea what you're on about.

The two guys on a moto aren't riding around only looking for guys wearing shorts sporting gold chains and carrying IPhone 15's. Obvious foreigners are presumed rich, and they typically are compared to average Colombians. Move in at least pairs or groups when possible. Walk like you have a purpose and know exactly where you are going. But there's no panacea for street robberies either.
That said many are heading back to Costa Rica where they do not have to worry about much of this nonsense. Vacations should be just that, not conventions of guys constantly having to look over their shoulders or screw a water bottle cap off and on every time they want to take a drink near a young woman. LOL Look for a revival to that scene, and when the guys come the girls will also, often from neighboring countries. Much of the perceived beauty of Colombian women is artificial, in that they are great at make up and go for the surgeries. They also hit the gym to their credit. In Costa Rica, the Nicaraguan girls and local Ticas can be quite GFE and lower maintenance than Paisas, while cute and natural.

Posts: 11Hello everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I am planning a trip to Medellin in early February. I've been RTFF here and appreciate all the information left here by all of you. If anyone will be available around this time, please let me know (PM), I'm good for a meal, at least. I'm looking forward to contribute my own experiences in the near future.

1. Are they girl friendly? A lot are not. And I've heard and seen stories of gringos kicked out of their place if they get caught. So I'd be sure to ask before I book.
2. Is there a doorman? For me, that's a must. And I'd encourage a small tip at the beginning of your stay. You want him to be a friend, for multiple reasons.

Posts: 4027You made a fair point about differing opinions about Medellin safety. The same could be said about any topic including which girl is a 10 and how do you fry a turkey. What for me is much less reasonable is the amount of traffic in the Medellin group from people who say they have turned their backs on Medellin for whatever reason. You guys, I respect your decision. Now it's time to move on to greener pastures. Best of luck, any of us interested in keeping up with how you fare can go to the Philippines group or wherever else you guys feel the grass is greener. You are all right, no need to carry on trying to convince.

Posts: 80AirBNB
Any thoughts for or against AirBNB? Prices seem good and it seems nice to not have to deal with visitor fees etc. When bringing ladies back to have some fun.
