And I have asked around to the people who run the tourism office and own hotels and new hotel developments. You are partially correct, Medellin has IMAGE problems. My friends who visited from Vegas watched 3 robberies within 1 block in one hour in Lleras. They say they will never come back.
We dealt with this in Vegas 30 years ago. Girls were grabbing guys dicks on the sidewalks. Now we have family's with strollers on the sidewalks. Busier than ever and the ho's are relegated to specific playgrounds. (LOL) Medellin (& Colombia) has far more tourists interested in Tours & Adventures and exploring the country than looking for hookers. It's probably #1 or 2 in the world for ecotourism, and adventure seekers. #2 for it's diversity of wildlife, tropical birds. There are more backpackers and digital nomads coming than the "mongers" Last time I counted there were 58 Hostels in Medellin. Really. And all had tour desks with things to do besides looking for pros.
I am not saying that Vegas doesn't still have plenty of naughtiness to go around. LOL. The top 9 of 10 nightclubs in the world are here. And yes armatures, pros, whatever you call them (college kids on Spring break) are using the thousands of hotel rooms every night to fuck. We are making gobs of money with very little gambling anymore. LOL So Maybe we are that horrible entity your GF is talking about. LOL but we do a better job with marketing the image!
Medellin needs to start rebranding so people can use the streets bringing kids with strollers for visits. It will happen. Maybe 30 years from now, maybe sooner.

Posts: 107I'll be in Medellin on December 9th and staying for a week. First time here, but I've been to Bogota twice earlier this year and hooked with 3 of the same girls on both trips.
Here's an odd question: are weekdays or weekends better for meeting up with the FB women in Medellin? I have a girl I met in Bogota that will visit for a couple days. I was wondering if I should have her over the weekend or come during the end of my trip on Wednesday.

Posts: 68Medellin. Jan 16 to Jan 21
All,
I will be in Medellin from January 16 to January 21 (5 Days). I reached out like this before and met some good ISG brothers and looking to do the same again. This announcement is to see if anyone is interested in either or both of these two things:
- Lunch.
** I've met other mongers in Medellin on previous trips and had lunch with them. I found the socializing to be good way to get into the groove of a far off city.
** Would aim to have a handshake, trade stories, and tips on locations of girls as we all have our habits that we prefer.
- Provenza.
** I've gone solo through Provenza and never stopped for a sit and a beer there. The place looks too damn nice, too social to keep passing up, but I do not want to do that solo. Provenza is not as easily allow for a solo gringo, so looking for a wingman to simply chill with.
** Looking for possible wingman for dance clubs. An ISG brother sparked my interest, so that is an itch I want to scratch.
That's it. If anyone is up for one or both, message me.
About me: I'm exceptionally normal. No anxiety issues, no prescriptions, no drugs. Just a beer and occasional cigarette from the street vendors.

I was in Brazil in 2004, and I was the only one in our party of 3 who did not get mugged. A friend was walking the tourist area of Atlantic Avenue at night and was jumped by 3 guys. No one gave a shit. My brother and I were in the center of town the next day, where there are few tourists, and a pickpocket tried to grab his wallet, and there was like a whole platoon of police after the attempted thief. That told me with the Brazilian police where their priorities were, and it was protecting Brazilians not tourists.
In Cartagena a few years ago, there was a senior member of police busted for trafficking women especially the Vennies. If the police had tie ins to the scopolamine poisonings, and I have no evidence they are, it would not surprise me in the least. There was a guy here named Dublin who called police in Cartagena thinking they would be on his side when WGs tried to rip him off. The police took the WG side and told him to pay the women.
For safety purposes, I always thought it best to get the hotel staff on your side. If they call the police on your behalf, IMO you will be far better off than if you do it on your own. When I stayed in a hotel a while and was screening prospects, I tipped the doormen and staff, joked with them, and got on a first name basis with them. If it is your word against hers, you are probably going to lose. If it is you and a hotel staff's word against hers, IMO I think the odds go in your favor.
Keep in mind though that many hotels do not want to see you brining in women who look like hookers. One of my seeking women came to the Marriott in super short shorts and the manager almost had a seizure. I paid a guest fee just to smooth things over and it calmed him down.
At the end of the day though, the police will do what the pols tell them to, and the pols usually do represent the will of the people. Point is if the people think it is okay to mug mongers, and I get the feeling many think it is okay, then this is going to continue.
At this point, the only way I would go to Medellin is if I screened the women extensively and stayed in a place with high security. Otherwise, I would just avoid it and head to places in Colombia where these poisonings are not an issue or at least much less of one. This is some pretty scary shit.

Posts: 417As probably you guys all know the Government want to discourage sexual tourism. That is why when you get a room at most places they asked you to sign a form to no bring prostitutes etc to the room.
If you need to do that many things to not get drugged is it not better to not bring a girl over? Or go to a sex-motel with the exact amount of money for the prepago and for the room and the driver so if she is about to rob you she won't get nothing?
I mean why do things if your life is in danger. The drugging probably won't stop now. The minimum monthly salary is I think now something less then 200 Dollar. Most cases won't get reported because guys do not want to get the police or building staff involved if they signed to not bring prepagos to their room and if they are reported the police got so many things to do, murder homocide things to solve to looks up girls that drugs tourist. And as many times people could tell a guy about a danger they will probably do it anyway.

Posts: 4015I am not judging. This is an honest observation. This post strikes me as more plausible as trolling victims than a serious product pitch.

Posts: 2Virtual Bodyguard App / Service
Someone should develop a subscription based service and application that would provide an efficient, structured mini-workflow on a cellphone to gather details around dates (eg Prepagos, SBs), places (address and room numbers), and encounters. For example, it would ask you to take and upload a high quality selfie / ID photo of the individual; photograph the front and back of their cedula; capture screenshot of their social media and / or dating site profile; cellphone number and emergency contact information which it would text and await a confirmation. It would also capture where you plan to entertain the individual and the details of the portero or front desk person working. And timing of planned encounters, requiring you to "close your flight plan" afterwards and, if you fail to do so by a predetermined time, inundate you with texts and, failing a response with a correct passphrase, calling the police or a private security team and a private medical service to visit you.
It could also provide real-time instructions / protocols for defeating common strategems. (For example, after drinks have been poured, switching them twice or thrice (indicated by the app) in front of the girl, and / or cross contaminating them with a syringe or spoon and inviting the guest to drink first with a timer function to see whether they conk out before drinking yours.) The service could also rent out small GPS tracking devices, a dye pack attached to your laptop and valuables bag, motion detectors connected to a high intensity alarm (to do a soft impound of the guest's phone, placed underneath the detector that could only be deactivated with a code that you know, without triggering the audio alarm); and SIM or wi-fi enabled, velcro-attached motion-activated surveillance camera outside the door. ("Antes de entrar, vamos a tomar why enviar un fotico a mi empresa de seguridad privada. Sonrisa! A panic button on the app could be used to communicate to the service that the previously registered encounter is going south and then lock the app. The user would then need to provide a correct passphrase in a video call in order to opt out of an armed, motorcycle-dispatched security response.
It would also be useful find out whether there is a simple lab test for Scopolamine to test a suspect drink.
My guess is that visitors to a place such as Medellin would pay good money for such a subscription and that additional features of this application would also do wonders for other corners of the global personal services industry (possibly to used by by outcall providers as well). Even a greatly simplified minimum viable product of all this might be adequate to defeat most threats.
There is a lot of great IT and call centre talent in Medellin. This would be a great use of their talents.

Posts: 4015The address is posted several times in the section. You only need to past it into the map website or application of your choice for a street view and walking directions.
