Yeah, I think there are plenty of good looking Colombian women, but no more so than in most other countries. But they do like to splash the make-up here. And I often wonder if MDE gets star comments mostly from guys come from a country where most of the women are ghastly or unattainable.

There's no way around this.
It goes with the territory here, and what might be considered embarrassing here may occur when a monger is with a young tart, at least 30 years younger than you, and they get the look of shame depending on where you are.
I have been in a few hotel elevators with a young tart in tow, a family enters the elevator, and the wife typically gives me a very dirty look, and the husbands at times are are having a wet dream, especially when their wife is like a sack of potatoes. LOL.

Posts: 3801METRO Experience
Yesterday I boarded the Metro at the Poblado Station around noon headed towards Centro.
Upon departing the station there was an announcement in Spanish to guard your valuables including phones, etc.
And then to my surprise the announcement was made in English by the same speaker and it wasn't a recording.
This is the first time I have ever heard an announcement of any type in English on the Metro, maybe it's been going on awhile, or maybe just around the tourist areas, but definitely a shock to hear an announcement in English on the Metro.
This is just another example of how popular and touristy Medellin has become and the changes taking place.

A friend moved from medellin to Lima, "all men are so ugly here".
A good paisa friend " the girls in Buenos Aires", where his son studied art, "have faces like horses", long-faced.
But yes, 50-60% are normal or ugly in Medellin.
Before we all get nuked, the russian and ukrainian girls!
In Africa, girls, and men also, from somalia / etiopia / Eritrea, tall, slim, tall necks, long thin arms and legs, they are simply very beautiful, good looking faces too, like black-barbies.
But I have had 4 10-GF in Peru. In my local gym hee at home, there are very few girls, one are a latina; she is awesome, and she is from Peru.
But I remember, if you been in the old center in Arequipa, with resturants all around on 3-5-7 floor. I thought, I will good looking girl; there where zero! During eating a lunch or dinner daytime! Maybe one, she was awesome, the waitress, but 99% she was from Colombia.
I went to big casa in Arequipa, but it was closed, but the guys let me in for a beer. Especially then I understood, in Peru "Colombiana" means good looking girl!

You loose your own will and give away your pin code to your credit card.
Have a lower weekly withdrawal and higher it, lets say just during daytime one day or the few days you pay for apartments, go shopping etc, buy airfare-tickets, and then lower it again.
They you limit the damage.
I did so after being robbed, she saw my pin-code, and when I was in the shower she was superfast down to the ATM and empty daily maximum. But I must add, I was a in the bathroom for a long time taking care of a small wound. So special circumstances. It happend in Manizales so I dicovered the withdrawls after coming home to Medelin after the weekend. I was also on strong antibiotics and took tramadol for the pain, which made me blurry and forgot / skipped my own secutrity precautions which I'm normally very strict about.
After that I enhanced my security routines even more. I put a thick chain on my closet and hid the chain with having cloth hangning on the door of it. Crazy!
Twice I have been robbed during 12 longer visits South America 2003-2019.
And in Medellin or Buenos Aires, where I lived one year (x2) , I must have taken taxis like 3 x 365 x2 = around 2000 times.
But these two events still scares me! I will always be a little afraid and hence loose some of the pleasure!
But also; different cards. Two-factor verification.
Anything that complicates for the robber and anything that minimize losses.
Then put US3. 000 on a "mental account" for robbery-losses. I have put such robbery-reserve money on my parents accounts, of which codes, numbers I know nothing!
You can also have a weekly budget and get money send to you and pick them up at WU, being robbed on the last day you maybe jusy have 100 dollars.
But all in all; the dangerous things for tourists are still; traffic accidents!
But here at home, the risk is the same, but the security program is turned -off, you don't except nothing to happen! While in Latin America, the security issue take away some of the pleasure, you are a little afraid in the back of your head, always! Which can destroy relations where no harm was never intended!

But 95% don't speak Spanish or rudimentary.
I learn this by avoiding anglosaxon and other light skinned people and where they hang and got my own oscial phere, with foreigners, but they are a majority and they also speak Spanish.
Then again; people doesn't care so much in medellin, all men go to prepagos. All married men I know in Colombia gos to prepagos. You can even discuss which clubs or girls which are the best with your professors in Spanish at La UPB!
I would say; if you don't hunt females, for relationship or sex or both, then you are considered gay or strange!
The females except you to attack you when opportunity given, colombian or gringo!
Sometimes I feel paisa females are even more into getting sex than men. They think like, a good fxxx + some money, married or not!
Those of us who come from countries where poor hygiene has been the norm, where we haven't had access to hot baths, have developed a fear of touch.
Colombian women are meticulous about their and your hygiene, but we from cold countries have a kind of anxiety about physical touch.
Probably because thousands of years of touching has been contagious.
My teacher in Medellin who often lives in the US said "if I had hugged and kissed my American girlfriends like I do my Colombian ones, I would have gone to jail!

Liberal culture, easy to do business, easy to get females.
Bogotá is stagnating, it have had a long period of growth but now macro factors are pointing in the wrong direction.
A paia friend have been buying 3 apartments the last decade and he runs a small resturant and they are now worth 300 k COP each, at least 100% growth since 2015.
The resturant pays the bills, the pension, richness comes from his apartments. And not having time to spend them on casinos or prepagos, his novia is a beauty but very hard discling him!
The whole motoway / freewy access to Rio Grande Airport, and other areas are filled with new de luxe.
They say 50% of emplyed people in Medellin are informal, 85% in he rural areas around, so GNP / capita etc is hard to estimate.
Moving money to tax paradises.
65-75% are truly hard working and poor, 10-20% are just rake home the profits.
The optimism, this gives growth, 2000-2019 people in absolute poverty fell by 1% by year from 30% to 10% in medellin.
Still many have a life =all waking hours are working hours! . Monday to Sunday.
But it's also a human phenomonen, migration. Latin people March from Brazil to USA. It's a thing humans do.
Living ouside medellin, in marinilla, which is close or guarne, very chill, good air everything.
2013; in sabaneta; a paisa friend measured the airquality, it was bad, today it's cancer. Provoking, an un espected side effect of frequent mongering.
Take your IT newwork and work from home, get paid from your company in US / Europe, bu live or spend much time outside the major cities and use sun-protection, maybe even more important than condoms!

Madrid is a fantastic city; medellin canˇt compete with that, but has a ace; it's always, 365 days a year, 25 celcius. No winter, spring, autumn, always summer, , even if it is called City of the eternal spring (25 is like July in Europe, not March / April).
I find colombian people, especially girls can be so life-loving, easy-going, even so that Quebec wants electronic-engineers from Colombia since they adapt culturally so easily!
Spanish people also good in Madrid.
Colombia; many places are not used to tourist, they have not learnt how to charge more, "the gringo-premium", easy to get friends. But in established places they ONLY think gringo=$.
Colombia tourist agency slogan; "the risk is that you don't want to leave!" it's very true.
Prepago-friend. If a prepago likes you, you can get a good discount, go out as a couple.
I have have met both Barracudas and Angels. You notice easily if she is a Barracuda, but the problem it's excting with dangerous females, donne pericolose.
My friends GF was dangerous and did crazy things, but he always came back to here since she was always unpredictable.
All in all, Colombia (and VNZ used to be even better but are now gone as a destination but can come back if we need their oil on a huge scale, which is a probable scenario w sanctions against Russia and the Russian oil production not can be exported since all experts has left, there production will fall and must be replaced, so VNZ might be welcomed anew into the global society and by doing so getting rid of all debt's they own Russia and China, hehehe, partly according to peter Z)).
Just for the experience.
I know nomads that are nerds and live in Colombia on tourist / student visa and get paid from their Western company, as working from home, just that living costs, prepago costs are like 22% of that in UK and then it's money well spend, which €200-300 is a really crazy price which US / Europe guys pay. I earn €300 net a day x 22 a month. €300 for 1 hour vs 8 hours at the office. It's a bad deal.

Posts: 7Are the guys that are getting scolpamined are they actually banging these girls. My guess is that the majority probably don't even get laid and they are in the talking negotiation stage when they get scoped.
