Medellin Reports

[Osteoknot]

One place Spanish has English beat in terms of sexism (if only a little) is with last names or apellidos. You carry the apellido of both parents (father's first then mother's). Of course your mom's name gets dropped for your kids. They take your and their own mom's first apellido. So there is that.

They seem to understand names here in this country. Also, when they turn 18 they are allowed to change their given (first) name to anything they want on their cedula, and that instantly becomes their legal name. Simply brilliant. I was very glad Catgirl took advantage of that option. Geez.

When you said dropped for the mother's maternal apellido, that could be interpreted two ways, as in retained or lost. I believe in your example you meant remove or lose the maternal last name for the child, which would be the traditional way here. However, it is not a legal requirement to give the child his (or hers) paternal name.

How do I know this? Amazonia finally birfused the baby on January 21, a healthy thriving boy. There is some confusion about the paternity which as you can imagine is not an uncommon situation, obviously and especially if there was no prenatal paternity testing. Let's just say I have a keen interest in this subject and leave it at that for now, jaja. She gave both her same last names to the boy, and there is no paternal name for the child. Get the picture?

Ostee Out, I have never been happier, in fact, it would not be too much of a stretch to say congratulations could be in order. I will keep you posted and maintain to the best of my ability, my posts as a No Bullshit Zone. My audience gets me and they are mostly lurkers and you know who you are. I will as always, Keep on keeping' On.

I'm not saying a total fall off but my last 6 months there it seems like there has been few far in between GFE pretty girls. Yes they are still there, and no I'm not talking about the "Perfect 10 paisa" who are dead fish and check their Insta all the time.

I think some Great ones have retired as well. Kathy, Angel and Vanessa come to mind.

It's almost as if between the rise of social media and girls able to cut deals with foreigners, ease of accents to Shengen Euro Tourist Visa and girls knowing their value more, the 8's are harder to find in this profession in this city.

I know they aren't all gone however it seems I have to search more and more for those types. Have you noticed also on all the prepago sites that they are very one note girls.

Also contributing to this is the Venezualns flooding the market, cheaper product kinda muddy the waters a bit.

I know that this profession is ebys and flows but who knows what will happen in the future. I wonder with inflation if girls rates will finally go up or stay to the prices in CO that they hace been for the past 7 years.

Just wanted to chime in here, I'll write some reviews because I know some of you still enjoy my writing and photos but the last crop made it less enjoyable or "nothing to write home about".

Just some thoughts.

Ha ha yeah I meant nouns. Un pedo de cerebro. Es malo que hiciera el error. Also nouns ending in -cion (the oh will have an accent but I cannot defeat the autocorrect) will be feminine. I do not think there are any exceptions on that one. -ion (also with accent on the oh) same but there may be a few exceptions on that one, not sure. The worst ones are the nouns that end in -e. Those you pretty much have to memorize. If you have to guess, guess feminine on those. La parte, el balde, la suerte, el chinche. No real pattern but I do believe numerically a majority are feminine.

Then you have your abbreviations, which can be confusing. La moto and la foto are not feminine nouns ending in -o; they are abbreviations of the feminine nouns 'motocicleta' and 'fotografia' (should have an accent on the eye). La combi, la bici, la tele, same thing. Abbreviated feminine nouns. And don't get me started about 'el radio' vs. 'la radio. ' The forearm bone is 'el' radio and that is also the radius of a circle. But the thing you listen to? Hmm well there is 'la radiografia' (again with an accent on the second eye to avoid a diphthong where there is a 'weak' vowel), and the word radio comes from 'radiograma. ' But in some parts of the Spanish-speaking world, the thing you listen to is feminine (la radio) and in other parts it's masculine (el radio).

Another confusing family of nouns are those nouns ending in -ista. Those always refer to people's jobs or roles so a male dentist is 'el dentista' and a female dentist is 'la dentista. ' Things like el periodista, el recepcionista, etc. Will sound funny at some point as you start to understand more. Then you have certain nouns where the article actually determines the meaning. El papa = the pope. La papa = a fucken potato. El cura = a priest. La cura = the cure. And for all you people buying tussi from taxistas (another example of -ista being gender neutral), when your portero says, 'Viene la policia' he could mean any number of police in general, or one single female cop. If he says 'Viene el policia,' it means one single male cop is coming. Again, 'policia' should have an accent on the second eye because of the strong / weak vowel thing. I do commend the autocorrecting software since you get banned if you slag it.

[Balboa]

… there are quite a few verbs that are masculine but end in -a. The good news there is, most of those end in -ma and have Greek rather than Latin origin. The most common one is el problema but you have el drama, el tema, etc. One that does not follow that pattern is el planeta.

Great lesson, except those aren't verbs señor.

I will do 250 Colombian pesos I thought she meant US.

That is something you should always clarify. It's very common for girls to say 200 or 250 when they mean 200 or 250 mil pesos. However, there are some girls who expect you to think they are talking in pesos, bit they want dollars when in your room.

The solution is simple. Respond with, for the girl you mentioned.

Siempre pago 200 mil mas taxi, o 250 mil no mas para taxi.

I always pay 200 k plus more for taxi, or 250 k with nothing more for taxi.

[TjBrazil]

I left the airport and offered 90 k to taxi. It was the same price as uber on the way back so you don't have to worry about being ripped off like Cancun. Went to Oviedo mall and bought sim card on the second floor. Had a big red sign. The hottest girls were at the mall. Great place to practice game. Changed dollars at the cambios at the mall and received 3900 to 1.

Went to Loutron, energy casa and sexy amigas. Loutron had a bad feel and bad attitude. Energy had large lineup. Didn't pick a girl. Sexy amgas had a girl. I paid her 50 k extra for BBBJ.

Next night went to the strip clubs: la isla, fase dos, san diego show bar, and luna lunera. The girls all looked like they were hit by a ugly stick. Las isla had a couple girls that were cute but the place went downhill. Used to look like the playboy mansion 4 years ago. Luna lunera is now a Clip joint. Waiter said I had to pay 150,000 for minimum consumption to sit with the girl I was going to drink with. I left. Its a real hustle when you walk in there. Avoid. San Diego is now half the size it was. Avoid.

Went to Gustos next night. All the girls looked ugly hard and older. I left. Outside gustos is where all the hookers hang out, like Help in Brazil. You will find a girl there but I would get a apartment so the nicer hotels don't give you crap. Next day went to a amazing seafood restaurant called Pesqueira Charcuteria del Mar. The menu had amazing unique dishes. Last day went to OM spa in the mall and did the 2 girl massage and paid an extra 100 k for each girl to get the happy ending and go topless. I know its a lot but I wasn't in the mood to negotiate. At night I did the hookah bar until 4 am. Bottom line Medellin is a great cheap bang per dollar but its not that great anymore compared to 4 years ago. When I got home I booked a trip to RIO which is the gold standard. I'm done with the subpar mongering destinations.

Wondering if anyone who has been to both Cartagena and Medellin would share their opinion for me. I was in Cartagena last summer and had a great time, wondering if I should hit it again or try Medellin.

Things I enjoyed about Cartagena:

-Had no issue not being fluent in Spanish (Google translate and such).

-Loved the club scene for picking up girls (places like Space).

-Beaches weren't bad either.

-Enjoyed the general attitude of girls I was with. Didn't feel rushed to finish or anything. Just about all gave BBBJ before.

-Looking for caramel to brown complexion, not into the darker almost black so much.

-Usually paid 250 K for short time with multiple finishes, didn't do more that 300 K.

Any feedback you can give me on Medellin vs Cartagena on the above points is appreciated. Also thinking about trying Rio.

Well, my two cents worth view: my routine is to usually visit both places every time I go to Col. The only thing that CTG has better is the wonderful fresh seafood that I crave. And yes it does cost much more to P4 P in CTG. You won't find the 30 k diamond in the rough street chicas of MDE which I luv to chase, and are my preference. I do speak fluent Espanol, which definitely helps me in my conquests. Buena suerte. Luvchicas.

Arrived at the airport and couldn't buy a sim there so I offered the taxi 90,000 pesos to poblado. That is actually the same rate that I paid when I took uber back to the airport when I went home, so you really don't have to worry about being ripped off like cancun. Offer 90 k and off you go. The hotel I stayed at had to meet the girls in the lobby to bring her up. Hassle. My advice is get a apartment in medellin with airbnb or poblado rentals. Avoid hotels and the walk of shame.

I went to Oviedo mall to change dollars and buy a sim on the second floor. Store had a red sign forgot the name. I received 3900 to 1 at the cambios. The mall is where I saw the hottest girls. If you want to practice game, this is the place.

First night I slept to recover from flight. Got up in the morning and went to loutron. Nasty attitude. Didn't take a girl. The place had a bad feel and bad attitude, so I left. Went to energy casa and they had a large lineup there. Didn't take. Went to casa sexy amigas. Picked a girl from there and got a BBJ for extra 50 k pesos. After busting a nut I was done for the night. Next couple nights I checked out the strip clubs and will condense:

I went to La Isla, Fase dose, Luna Lunera, and san diego show bar. They all sucked. The girls were so much uglier than a few years ago. La isla was the best but that isn't saying much. That place was like the playboy mansion 4 years ago. Now you will find a couple girls there. Fase dos and the now smaller san diego show bar was awful. Luna lunera is now a Clip joint. I saw a girl there tried to sit with her, but the waiter said it was 150,000 minimum consumption to sit with her. Avoid this place. I don't know if the locals pay this and I was being targeted for being American, but this place was a hustle from the second I walked. Awful place. Most of the girls looked like they were hit by the ugly stick at the all the strip clubs. Next night I went to gustos for the first time. Again, I wasn't attracted to one girl. Really hard looking older girls there. I left after 30 minutes. Outside gustos on the street are where all the hookers gather. It was like being in front of Help in Brazil back in the day. You can find a girl in this area for sure but you should have a apartment because the nice hotels will probably give you crap if you bring girls from there every night. Next day I ate a the best seafood restaurant I ever had. Its called Pesqueira- Charcuteria del Mar. So many unique dishes on the menu. I wish I went the first day.

Last day I went to OM spa in the mall. Got the 2 girl massage and happy ending / topless which cost me an extra 100 k for each girl. I know its more than I should have payed but when 2 topless girls are ready to do their thing, 100 k each seemed fine. LOL. At night I did the hookah bar until closing at 4 am. Bottom line, I didn't like Medellin this time. Its the cheapest bang per buck right now but the girls just weren't that attractive. When I got home I booked a flight to Rio which is the gold standard. I'm done with these subpar mongering destinations.

I think if you want value Medellin is better, but honestly you can't go wrong with either. I've had good experience in both cities.

[ColombiaLover]

I honestly enjoy Cartagena more when I got for vacation with family or went with a significant other in the past for romance. As opposed to mongering. Here are my thoughts:

-Medellin is a bit more of an issue if you don't know any Spanish, but it's doable.

-Lots of fun clubs in Medellin if that's what you want.

-No beaches in Medellin, but I don't care because I live in Florida and we have better, cleaner beaches without the folks constantly trying to sell you something. I avoid the beach when I go to Cartagena and stick with the hotel pool.

-Weather is usually better in Medellin if you like moderate temperatures. Cartagena is always hot and humid, like it is here in Florida in the summer. Since I can get that here, I don't need to go to CTG for it.

-I have no issues with most of the girls I see in Medellin. Many give GFE. The girls I see always give BBBJ and most of the ones I see give BBFS (although most of them are not hardened pros. I would require a condom for them).

-You can get all complexions in MDE. White to dark.

-Paisa accent is much clearer and prettier than CTG accent, often which I cannot understand (e. G. , the taxistas).

-I never pay 250 - 300 in MDE. I pay 150 to 150 plus taxi (which gets you to 170-200).

Just my two cents. Actually, MDE sucks. All of you guys considering MDE should go to CTG instead and I will rough it in MDE. .

One place Spanish has English beat in terms of sexism (if only a little) is with last names or apellidos. You carry the apellido of both parents (father's first then mother's). Of course your mom's name gets dropped for your kids. They take your and their own mom's first apellido. So there is that.

A group of 999,999 females and you add one male and that flips the gender from feminine to masculine? Show me something, anything, that is more sexist than that, jajajaja.

I have paid 250 when the exchange rate was 2900. I was fully aware of the going rate and been in Medellin for a while. Sometimes (but not always) a little (but not too much, LOL) flexibility does not hurt, and like JB says, one can negotiate more time.

I will do 250 Colombian pesos I thought she meant US.

[Huacho]

"yes of course love I charge 250 plus taxi".

You do know that means 250 thousand pesos colombianos and not 250 Yew Ess dollars, right? So a little over sixty dollars.

[Nounce]

... It will be a cold day in hell before I pay some shit like that.

Finally, there is 'apocopation. ' That means that if you have a masculine noun, you drop the final 'o' from the indefinite article. Un peso and ...

Thank you, I did not know that and have been wondering about it!
