Medellin Reports

[Zeos1]

That is what I'm talking about. You tell them Gabacho. Your experience aligns with mine here in Colombia and the ones I have had all over the world. Professional tricks get it twisted when it comes to regular girls. They think that giving ANY kind of financial assistance makes a girl a prostitute. Thank you for posting a clear real life "boots on the ground" example of how that is not the case. Educate them brother!

I think that trying to distinguish between "professional" and "regular" is what is not useful. Or whether she is a prostitute or not. I think most of us do not see it as a moral issue, and whether she is a single mom just looking for a bit of help to get by, or a sexually active woman who thinks that she might as well make some money having sex, or a full time prostitute it really doesn't matter. The risks are probably not all that different. Some of the more business like ones may take better care of their health, for example. Anyway most of us here are looking to pay or accepting that we will be paying for these relationships, whether once for a short time, or repeatedly.

The step between that and getting into a real relationship is the real risky one.

Tickets are bought for next February, I've been watching a lot of recent passport bro videos to prepare and got access to the Prepago Google Map. The guy who created the map suggest I stat at Hotel Nutibara cause there literally plenty of spots to see workers but on here says it's not the best place to stay.

Theres an apartment near Parque de Bolvar I saw within my budget that I was considering staying and according to his map, El centro is only a 8 minute car ride, so can't go wrong there. Any advice on where to stay along with anything else? I'm ok with my beginner Spanish but I'm taking virtual classes up until the trip to improve my comprehension and fluency. I already know about how not to stick out, and how to be aware with my surroundings and not to bring the chicks to my room (that's my safe house) so no problem there, but any advice I'd appreciate it.

First timer should go with Nutibara if considering doing El Centro. First timer with beginner Spanish might not want El Centro depending on the size of the cojones. But staying in Nutibara, you would want to bring the hookers there. That's kind of the point of staying there. At least to me. And things can definitely go wrong in an apartment near Parque Bolvar.

Biggest load of crap I've ever heard here on ISG.

I was just doing my weekly grocery shopping at D1 and as I was pricing the frozen entremuslos de pollo I heard "holaaa holaaa. " I looked up from the freezer and standing there was one of my paisa barrio chicas I've been fucking since August.

She came up to me and asked me "como esta" and gave me a big as hug in front of everyone and then called her mother to come and she even introduced me to her mother.

And she is not a hooker by any means, granted I help her out with 100 Lukas each time she fuxks me raw, but she is not in Botero or Poblado standing around looking for customers. She isn't on mil eroticos or photoprepagos or seeking or any of that shit either.

She is a single stay at home mother who lives with her own mother. And she says that the little bit of money that I give her helps her out more with buying diapers and food for her son than the help she gets from the child's father, which is basically nothing from what I understand.

Getting with regular girls in Medellin is almost impossible for Americans. Especially as a white guy. They know we are there for hookers, so a regular girl wouldn't be caught dead with us because people will think she is a hooker.

This is partially true. Not every American male visitor to Medellin is a monger although perhaps the majority are. The regular paisas would not be so stupid as to reject the advances of all Americans. In the rest of Colombia there is no such rejection because that stigma does not exist there.

What about in Argentina or Cuba?

I was in Argentina this time last year and crisp US bills were what you wanted to exchange. The inflation was so bad, the ATMs were hard to use because they would spit out stacks and stacks of bills.

[Knowledge]

I've heard you can get better unofficial rates in Cuba than you can from ATMs. I did not benchmark so that may be an exception. The rates I got in Argentina from ATMs in 2018 were more competitive than what change agencies were offering. More recent visitors should pipe in with up to date information.

I've spent time in more than a few countries. I haven't found one yet where this ATM vs other methods is not rock solid.

Nomars777,

We must have met before and I didn't realize you were also on ISG. I've told dozens of guys that Banco Caja Social doesn't charge Bank of America debit card holders any fees. You can withdraw a maximum of 300 k pesos per transaction but you can do this multiple times. Banco Colombia charges 22,500. You get that days rate. It's a lot better than bringing dollars and losing 10% or more every time you need to change..

Davivienda also doesn't charge a fee and they have higher withdrawal limits. I've heard Scotiabank also but that one doesn't work with my card but it may work for Bank of America.

With respect to obtaining pesos, you certainly can exchange USD for COP at the money changing places, but in my experience their rates are terrible. Instead, I withdraw from my regular bank account using my debit card at any of the ATMs that are at the airport and / or in Medellin if I didn't take out enough the first time.

US banks typically provide very close the exchange rate as posted on Google (USD to COP) and there's sometimes no ATM fee for the local bank when using a foreign ATM card. Not always true, but has happened occasionally. Either way, I get very close to the market rate vs. The low rates provided by the money exchange places.

One guy from the US I met in Medellin last time said that Bank of America charged zero fees for withdrawing from Banco de Caja Social (I think, might be Bancolombia) and their ATM also charged no fees, so it was a pure USD to COP transaction at the market rate.

For some reason this is said on pretty much every thread on ISG.

Does not mean that it is true. Some girls are trying to find Captain Saveaho. Of course they are going to tell guys what they want to hear.

In which country do the men not treat the women like shit?

In every country men treat their girls well. They even marry them. Most ISG posters are not dealing with the top 10% of girls in any country they visit. Most don't realize how tight that circle is.

Good evening fellow perverts, I'm going to be in Medellin next week (11th-19th,) and just had a couple of questions:

A.) Any forum members more experienced with the area want to meet up, grab a drink and a bite, my treat? Would love to get a better lay of the land.

Be.) Would love some tips for setting up a second Facebook for the purposes of finding some of these much conversed about FB Girls. Do you just use a fake name, real pictures of yourself, and set the location to Medellin? Curious how one goes about this whole process, and I obviously don't want ANY overlap with my civilian Facebook, this needs to be real hush hush.

See.) Best locations for the exchange of USD to COP. As usual, I procrastinated, and it's a bit late to use my regular bank, so it looks like I'll be flying in with USD and figuring it out.

Feel free to DM me, and many thanks in advance for any information provided, my only mongering outside of the country has been Tijuana, and this seems like an entirely different ball game. I really do appreciate everyone on these boards for taking the time to educate and inform. Hope why'all had a wonderful weekend and a smooth rest of your week!
