Medellin Reports

[Hioctane]

Hey man,

I hear you on this cab fare thing but it's not that bad you know? It ain't like they ain't showing up or worse stealing your (our) stuff, shake downs, ect. A few extra pesos? $5? Who cares? Also what you give for cab fare is what you give. They just got to take it you know? Unless it's part of the deal.

Bello is far out and if you have a girl on the clock for a date from 4-7 ish. She going to be late because that Bello-Mede / Poblado run is going to be nothing but traffic! 20-30 with out traffic and over an hour in hora de pico. Be aware and plan accordingly.

It's not really about the money, but it's just that it's shady and the principal of it. The best thing to do is to take taxi distance pricing out of the equation and just negotiate an all inclusive price.

I was thinking about getting off at one of the metrocable stops and wandering around one of those barrios, trying to meet girls like I did in high school at the mall. But my spanish is limited.

Yea, you could wander aimlessly through a hood like that and hope to not get robbed but are there places that girls work before they hit el centro or la moyorista? Maybe you could get a real bargain and bang them in a roofless hut and give the people in the metrocable a good view.

Gentlemen,

Planning first trip. Little espanol. Looking to book at Mansion. Have read 148 pages (RTFF) but am unclear when the next rainy season begins. Read in one report that Oct was a bad time (fewer girls available /$50 rooms). Is March considered one of the rainy months, like October cause if I'm going to pay for the services they offer I want it to be the high season.

Thank you

It's between dry season and rainy season. However it can rain any month in MDE and you can have beautiful weather any month. I've been a couple times in April (historically wetter than March) and it's been absolutely perfect. I generally like to do my trips between November and April because that's when the weather sucks where I live. But if I didn't live in this near-Arctic climate (Chicago), I'd visit MDE any time of year.

You should be fine and have a great time.

So, to the older gringo gentleman in Centro Commercial Hollywood today buying sneakers for the 6 barrio girls and their mom, I salute your style sir. Backpack full of condoms, a bottle of water and some wet wipes. All of them calling you amor and papi. Good on you my friend I hope I can roll like that when I am your age. I just hope you are careful and don't fall victim to any ladrones or worse yet end up going for a paseo milionario.

I say that with the best of intentions. I hope you have your shit wired tight, because I can pretty much guarantee you drew the attention of the wrong types of folk today. Also, I hope you got to bang all 6 of those girls at once!

Salud, dinero & amor amigo!

He rally had a backpack full of Condoms and wetwipes? LOL you saw it? Hahaha, man how does one meet 6 bario girls that arent pros? I was thinking about getting off at one of the metrocable stops and wandering around one of those barrios, trying to meet girls like I did in high school at the mall. But my spanish is limited.

Just a quick comment on Vitrea's post. I hear guys write "Which place is the best?" The answer IMO is that talent changes often from place to place. Jonesie has reported this more times than I can count. Maybe Vitrea will be reporting the opposite in a few months. You just have to get out there and see what is going on.

Agree 100%. The key word is "these days". Ha ha.

I agree with Slam. This degree of over analysis re taxi cab fare can be a downer. Give a bit and get a lot more back is my motto.

This should be common sense. Showing girls you have lots of money to blow rarely is a good idea in Colombian, DR, etc. Best bet is to play the relatively poor Gringo. A Gringo spending alot of money becomes a target pretty quickly.

Tell them you like girls from Aranjuez and Manrique: hottest I've seen!! But if they insist they are from Bello, then tell them you'll pay for metro / taxi combo and not straight taxi.

But honestly, you can't find out and if you're there on a short-time, staying in El Poblado and just want to have a different girl everyday, then I won't sweat it.

I'm sure all of the Medellin vets here and even the newbies know that lots of the mansion girls and even those from fb live in an outskirt Medellin suburb called Bello, which is a long way from Poblado, about a 20-25 mil COP taxi ride each way. I've been there on metro and it's far, no doubt. Recently, I was talking to a former mansion and current fb chica who lives in Aranjuez (another suburb halfway between Poblado and Bello), and she told me that lots of the mansion girls live in her town. They say to the gringos that they live in Bello to get more taxi money. And when they arrive for you to pay their taxi amigo, the fare is already fixed to between 20-25 mil and they pocket the difference.

I'm not saying all the girls do this, of course not. I know girls that live in Bello since I've met some there. But it seems strange how way too many girls say they live in Bello. I know most do, but damnnnnnnnn. It's like a bad apple ruins the bunch. Any info on this? I did ask another chica about this scam, and she corroborates it as well. May be the chicas are just talking mess, but the taxi scam seems legit since most girls do have their own taxistas for personal and safety reasons.

I'm not sure how anyone can verify where the girls live, and I know most guys just give a flat 10 mil or so taxi on top of what they pay the girls regardless on where they come from. But lots of guys pay the girls' taxi upon arrival to their apt. Anyways, just food for thought.

Yes, this is one trick the girls do to get more money out of you. I wouldn't even try to figure out if they're lying or not. Bello is a big area so lots of them are legitimately from there. And who cares if they're not. Tell them you'll give them X amount for taxi (if you feel like being generous) and that's the deal, regardless of where they say they're from. Best strategy is to try not to let them girl run the transaction for you. You tell her what you'll give her, including taxi if you choose, and that's the deal, period.

LuvFake,

Nice report. Thanks for sharing.

Here are some comments that came to mind as I read your report:

- A girl you meet on FaceBook often will be flaky about showing up, especially if she is under-30. It's a Paisa thing. They are like butterflies. They flit around and rarely know what they are doing tomorrow. She may accept a date for a few days from now, but she's merely being polite. A key to minimizing the missed connections is to contact her regularly in the days / hours before your date. I like Whatsapp for that -- almost all have it. Sometimes you may even double-book and, if both girls appear to be available, cancel one at the last minute. They do it all the time.

- Medellin is all about the day of the week. Fridays and Saturdays are the big nights, both in strip clubs and in clubs / bars. Also Sunday nights if the next day, Monday, is a festival day -- which happens about once a month. Last time I was at Fase II, it was a Thursday night. The place was filled with 80 or so girls and maybe only 25 guys. The girls were like sharks swimming by, hoping to catch your eye for a drink, a chat, and maybe more. As to girl quality, I've not been to FKKs, but to my eye there were at least ten girls of 9 or higher quality. I once saw a 10 at La Isla, and she was like the Belle of the Ball. Every guy wanted her, so she was very very picky about who she gave her attention to...

Archimedes, Solid post. Great detail!

I find almost all Paisas to be flaky. All countries have their "Paisa Thing" excuse but IMO this is just the disorganized functioning of poor, uneducated people trying to do things combined with the special inability to concentrate by these, attention deficit Paisa women.

I agree 110% about staying in contact in the hours leading up to the date. IMO this does not come across as desperate. They view you just like everyone else in their life that is pushing them to do something. Also, I always stress to the girls to call or text me when they enter the taxi. Many guys think that their date is on the way when this is easily avoidable. This call triggers my brain to start getting ready.

Here is an idea for those who are learning or have some Spanish. Make a list with 5 obscure items. Go to El Centro and, one at a time, look for them. It is great practice with Spanish and gives one a reason to interact while being yourself. I haven't done this to meet girls but have done this many times before out of need and can definitely see how this could be a relaxed approach to meeting girls.

Good luck to all and happy hunting.

[Vegas Jeff]

Luv Fake,

Unfortunately I don't know much about the internet. I only know what I see around me. If I am walking around El Centro I will give my opinions regarding the girls that I know but other than that I am not interested in trading info on girls. All I have seen is complications and frustration around me for those who do this. I would rather provide info that might help one fish instead of providing a fish. In addition our MO's couldn't be more different in that I like thin girls with flat stomachs, narrow waists, no English, breast size irrelevant, etc.

Reach out to some of the board members who visit Medellin often and they should be able to point you in the right direction. On that note some advice to all board members, if you want to receive responses to your girl inquires ask your questions close to your trip date. Too many guys are asking about some girl's status when their trip isn't for another few months. These crazy bitches jump in and out of things so often. Who knows where some of them will be a month from now. Next time you are traveling somewhere post something like, "Going to be in Medellin next week. Looking for a date with a girl who has big breasts, speaks some English preferably, and has good hygiene. " Post another question once you arrive. Just an idea.

Continuing with your hygiene issue. There are some things you can't control such as vaginal infections or what they ate last night. As far as what you can control is making them take a shower and using a vaginal cleaner, not soap! Soap can intensify the situation. Guys, showers are a must for room dates. Showers are not only for cleanliness but a decompression between the natural stress of interacting and a transition into sex. This also gives one time to organize things before sex. It is certainly nice to see a relaxed girl wrapped in a towel walking in the room from the shower. If a girl tells you that they just took a shower, tell them that it is a mental issue and ask them nicely to take one for you. Same can apply for you getting them to clean themselves down there also.

When I first joined this board I read a post saying something like, "you will walk upon a fork in the road. When everyone goes right, go left. Keep an eye on what others are doing but walk your own road. " I leave you and others with this thought that stuck with me.

I know that you are an experienced hobbyist but just thought I would share a few ideas that might be of use.

Well good luck with your future travels. Adios por ahora.

The quality these days is better at La Isla compared to Fase II or Lutron. :-)
