Medellin Reports

[Dcrist0527]

It's called Rio Sur Mall. Level 4 towards the back is OM Spa for men. There are also 4-5 other places there too.

For what it's worth, I'm not sure you can count on FS in these places. Been to OM several times and I think each girl is a freelancer. I've never had FS offered. Since I'm usually more interested in a BJ, it doesn't hurt my feelings. LOL But as has been said, their extras prices are really high. One girl asked for 300 k for a HJ. I just laughed and told her just finish my massage. The massages are really good though. As always, YMMV.

I remember that time slot thing from years ago. After a session as I was getting dressed a girl told I had to wait for her to shower before I could leave. It made me wonder how many guys actually go along with that and pay the girls extra for sitting there while they slow walk the end of the session.

I checked out New Life to just get the check in the box. Attached is the price list. I thought it was interesting the specificity for time slots. The array of girls was dizzying. They brought them out in rapid succession and expect you to remember their name or number. My brain ain't that good but they worked with me to get the girl I wanted.

I don't mean to treat you like Claudine Gay the ex-President of Harvard and of course this is not the Times of London but an you name any of your sources? I'm shit at math but I do know 50% higher is not very meaningful without a baseline.

Medelland's homicide rate is about 50% higher according to one source I looked at. A couple of others, the difference wasn't as much but MDE's rate was higher everywhere I looked. I've been to both and had issues in MDE and no issues in BOG, but of course that is a random sample of one.

Full disclosure, I did not click the youtube links. This is because you can find a youtube video that supports any narrative, so for me posting and viewing dueling youtube videos is pointless.

The simple answer to the question of how dangerous Medellin is "it depends. " It depends on the individual and what that individual does and how that individual moves. Enjoy the Philippines.

About the eternal question: How dangerous is Medellin?

Honestly, I just don't know and I doubt that anyone else does. There are so many different opinions online from seemingly sincere people.

This fellow declares that he spent a year traveling through 26 countries and the one place he will NOT visit again is Medellin.

This video just came out and he says it's no worse than the US.

According to him, there were three serious incidents recently however they were unique exceptions and besides them, crime isn't a big problem..

What is safer Medellin or Bogota?? I know a lot depends on you and how careful you are. But for the guys that have been to both, which do you find a safer place? My biggest fear is getting drugged or robbed.

I think the more upscale areas of Bogota are safer than the upscale areas of Medellin.

I am assuming you are not hanging out in the ghetto but there is a red light area in South Central Bogota that I went to with another ISGer that was scary as shit and way worse than centro in Medellin.

I have always stayed in hotels with good security, never had more than a beer or two when I went out, and I never had any problem with safety.

Also, I think because there was so much easy pussy whenever you had that warning voice in your head go off, like your Spidy sense, go off, I would listen to it. I think we all have done dumb things in pursuit of pussy.

I met a dancer in Bogota and banged her. She was hot and great lay, and I took her back to my hotel. I saw her again, and she was like come to my place, I want to cook for you. And I was like no, you cook and bring the food to my hotel. Then I saw her at the club again and she was weird. She was pushing for me to go to her place after I banged her in the club, and I did not go. I never saw her again.

I just felt like she was trying to hard to get me to come to her place and something was just not right about it. I am not sure if she was trying to get me to her place to drug me or rob me, but looking back on things, my guess is she probably was.

My personal opinion is this. I'm a sex tourist. Personally, I'm not interested in music, dancing, drinking, nightlife. I want sex with a minimal risk of getting killed. So if Location A (streets of El Poblado) is rumored to have a serious risk and Location be (brothels) seems to have no risk, and both locations are about the same price with the same quality of women, I am going to be..

Going from Colombian women to Filipinas is going to be a huge letdown for you. The language proficiency was overrated.

Gracias for all your suggestions, they were greatly appreciated. I have been to Sao Paulo, Costa Rica, Bangkok, and several cities in Mexico including CDMX, and never felt unsafe. I will heed your words keep my head on a swivel but will enjoy myself, I am fluent in Espanol, and hopefully that will help.

Perfect summary, well put.

There are no sure fire 100% effective protection measures. There are effective ways to control the risk and, if applied consistently, Medellin can be made as safe as any comparable city. My advice to anyone who is so nervous about it they don't feel they can relax enough to enjoy their time here is to go somewhere else.

I am seriously considering trying the Philippines for my next trip for several reasons, such as less of a language barrier, but also because of the (alleged) crime problem in Medellin.

Right, and this topic started as a response to what TexasPistol said right here a couple days ago

.

He went on to say that anything other than brothels is "russian roulette" because taking a girl out dancing runs the risk of looking down the barrel of a gun. I responded that the danger *particular to Medellin and what sets Medallo apart from the rest of the world, is that the danger comes from the Chicas and drugs into drinks. He disagreed. So you are commenting on the tail end of an exchange. Mr. TexasPistol. Who is from Texas presumably. Feels comfortable going to the grocery store and out to dinner in the Lone Star state ,but Medellin is Russian Roulette, Nah.

No offense to TexasPete, sorry TexasPistol LOL, I think anything he posts should be taken with a grain of salt. He obviously has very limited experience in Medellin and is basing his opinions off of hearsay he has read from other posts.

If I remember correctly, his first trip to Medellin was just last month and he severely overpaid, he posted about this in December quoting prices in USD and stating that he was paying $60 usd for short time encounters at casas which he called brothels.

Unless someone has atleast 10 2 week-long trips under his belt or has stayed here for several months at a time, then he really doesn't know what he is talking about. You can't just come here for a few days and visit a few casas / brothels and then proclaim to be a Medellin expert.

If you see a pretty girl walk over and smile and say "Hola!" If she seems very happy to see you, then either you are extremely handsome or she's working. Take it from there. You are looking for companionship, etc.

That's how easy it is in Medellin. When you say hola with a gringo accent and she engages, you basically will f her. I've done that in malls a bunch of times. My success rate was about 50/50. As for sex, I'd say half of them wanted money up front, the other half did not, but I usually take them to nice places to eat and shop, and I would give them 100 mil at the end if our time is great.

Been to both and in both there are druggings and robberies. I have never had either of those happen to me, but I've met several people that have.

I think it's a random shot either one. Depends on where you are, what you are doing, and just random chance. You will get opinions, I'm sure, but I would say they are equal. People's feeling of safety is not a reliable indicator of anything.

I would say they are basically equivalent. The risk of getting drugged and / or robbed is proportional to your level of common sense. You won't get drugged like in a movie. You get drugged when someone puts something in your drink. Are you coming here to drink? I would seriously suggest you drink in the Sport's bar at San Peter with your homies. You should never be drinking with a girl in your hotel room or Air be-and-be. It will require you to be incredibly vigilant and suspicious all the time which surely will detract from your experience.

If you are smart enough to not drink with the girls and if you go to a strip bar, drink water with a screw top cap that you can keep with you at all times. If you do those things you aren't going to get drugged.

As far as getting robbed. Are you smart enough to keep everything of value in your safe? Or a locked up suitcase? Are you secure enough to leave your bling at home? Are you smart enough to NOT pull our your expensive cell phone every time it buzzes or chimes. Duck into a coffee shop or bakery to check your messages, if you must. Stay away from empty deserted streets. Cabs are cheap, really cheap.

You see, if you bring your common sense and realize you are in a country where half the population is very poor, so "no the papaya" (that is a Colombian saying which literally means don't "don't give papaya" meaning don't make yourself an attractive victim). Your junk wants to come here and play if you bring your brains along too you should have no real problems.
