Posts: 4027My advice is to write the word "facebook" in the search field at the top of this page. There is a great deal of specific information and instructions. If you use the search feature it will filter out content that does not reference facebook.

Posts: 4Hi guys,
So I was reading the last 25 pages in the last couple of hours and I'm trying to understand something, without much success. Maybe I should read more pages but I'm not so optimistic that I'll find my answers.
I'm reading a lot of reports about hooking up with FB girls, and I'm struggling to understand how do you guys know who to contact? And even if you do, are you using your real FB account or some fake account you've created just for this?
I really want to visit Medellin some day (and that could be as early as next month. Still trying to decide if I want Thailand or Colombia), and I'm really into meeting local girls in my hotel. Preferably for what they call in Thailand a LT session. I also have Tinder if that helps.
Any advice for a newbie like me?
Thanks 🙏.

Posts: 4027I have no problem with a foreign credit card on Rappi. I don't think I've ever used my Colombian cards on it. On the other hand, I had to hustle to Premium Plaza to buy concert tickets in person after the tuboleta web site rejected my foreign card over and over again. In person there was no problem paying with my foreign card. It was a pain in the neck because I had to change my plans for the so I could get the tickets before they sold out.

Posts: 4027I don't think it's about chargebacks because those same companies that don't accept foreign charge cards online will accept them when they are presented in person. In my experience the larger retailers like Grupo Exito and Homecenter accept international charge cards online as well as in person. Telecommunications and utilities like Claro, Tigo, and EPM don't accept my foreign charge cards online but I have no problem using them in person. Tigo has kiosks in its locations that I use if I happen to be near one when my bill is due. Mostly I use a Colombian card to pay online. I avoid the EPM office like the plague.

Am sure there are other reasons, but this is one.

Posts: 261Use your FB Stories feature
For the guys who post FB pics of themselves arriving in Medellin, use the FB Stories feature. There are two main advantages.
The likes you get are private to you and not shown to other people. It also expires in 24 hours. Chicas know this and are more likely to send a reaction when they can avoid advertising themselves as putas to your other friends.
You also see the chicas that view your story so you know they're active. It doesn't mean they're interested in seeing you but at least you know they're using FB actively. It can help you filter your hit list on the first few days.

Posts: 4027I agree the Bancolombia app is a big improvement over the website. The website is also now better than it used to be but I would not describe it as good. I discovered something about the Bancolombia app that I'm surprised hasn't come up for me before. I had to change my account PIN when I got a new phone. I didn't realize that app uses a mobile token. It makes sense in the context of the government's heavy emphasis on monitoring and controlling even the smallest financial transactions. We have to register our mobile phones so the app is restricted for use on one phone at a time per user.

Has anyone stayed there? Is it worth the price?
I know the building is girl friendly, as long as ID is provided, but are there any restrictions or extra fees?
How is the lobby bar / restaurant? Gym?
Always wanted to check it out, but I usually visit MDE for extended periods of time, so prefer more affordable options. Next time will go down there for only a few days and want to splurge on a nicer apartment.

Posts: 4027The country's public sector is behind in technology. I've had occasion to deal with private sector technology in Colombia and the difference is striking. Multinational companies that operate here are at international standards. I suspect the public sector problems are due to extreme technology debt, as in grossly insufficient financial investment. Ironically, over the past few years the Antioquia government has been heavily promoting the Valle de Aburra as "technology valley. " It's laughable. I know for sure the technology deficits in the financial services industry here are intentional. It's for the same reason there are so many hoops to jump through for basic financial transactions like opening a bank account or leasing an apartment. The government heavily restricts technical innovations so it can maintain the control it needs to prevent narcos taking over more of the country. Narcos have virtually unlimited financial resources but their ability to leverage them is hampered by how difficult it is to make electronic transactions. Think about the multiple questions you have to answer to pay for something with a credit card. The last time anyone asked me in North America, Europe or Asia whether my card transaction is credit or debit was during the 1990's if not longer ago. Here it's every transaction, along with whether you want to include a tip. Restaurant servers perform a ceremony in which they present the check and wait for you to study and approve it before they input the total, as if the charge can't be voided and re-entered if something is disovered later. You get used to it but it can be tiresome.

It is just something about sticking your dick into pussy that translate into automatic care and friendship for some guys. Good customer service does not mean you are now friends with the service provider.
Name all the dogs you want, but how many are showing up if there is not money involved? When these chicks start coming over twice each week without you having to give them money, then you have a freiend. But until then, Purely Transactional!
