Medellin Reports

[Fun Luvr]

I've spent some time researching FB info see if there was a way to hide friends from other friends and it appears no such feature is available.

You can hide all your friends from everyone. Display your friends page. Just above the photos, to the right, there is a little symbol of a pen. Click on the pen and then on "Edit Privacy". Select "Only you" for friends and following. No one sees your friends or the people you are following.

Just photoshop ID if Facebook wants it. They use algorithms to find fake profiles. So if you made the account and friended 30 unrelated people in the same day they are going to think you're fake. So go slow a little don't friend too many people. Use a name that could be a real name. Don't use a nick name etc. So don't be Sammy Davis, be Samuel Davis. Etc. Facebook will try to link with your other emails and possibly your phone. On the computer, you can just use one browser (like MIE, which you probably don't use so much these days) for your fake FB. To avoid linking from everyone in your email, make an entirely new free email account in the browser, and then only use that email and that Facebook in that browser. If you use your real email, everyone you ever emailed will be invited to friend your fake Facebook profile. So make a new fake email for your fake Facebook. This might be inconvenient for some people, but it is not terribly difficult to do. You can also get a burn phone at Walmart for $20 to connect with your fake email and fake Facebook. The other posters here are right, if you use your real Facebook, all your friends will be invited to friend any of your new Friends. so all your Church buddies and your in-laws and your parole officer anyone you know will see all your new friends. Yeah you can try to conceal it, but a reasonably intelligent person is going to figure it out.

Much to my surprise a window appeared announcing that FB periodically conducts ID checks and demanded I submit ID. I've since gone back and the challenge still prevents me from accessing my page.

I've had a fake page for nine years that served me well for occasional anonymous usage before ID was required. I uploaded a face obscured profile pic and sent out about three or four messages to Medellin girls referenced with links in other posts. Much to my surprise a window appeared announcing that FB periodically conducts ID checks and demanded I submit ID.

I don't know what you are talking about. I have 3 FB accounts: one with my real name and photo, and two more with a fantasy name and a photo of some random guy I photographed years ago on top on El Penol at Guatape. Of course, I don't want to use a photo available on the www. It's too easy to find it using Google.
I was never requested to supply a copy of ID.

I almost don't use any of those 3 accounts. I am not interested to FB activities, except keep in touch with some people who does not use other means of communications (e. G. , girls from remote countries).

I've spent some time researching FB info see if there was a way to hide friends from other friends and it appears no such feature is available. It's likely other forum members also don't want to swamp their legitimate FB pages with 20 year old Chicas friends from Medellin.?

That's why I will never use FB as all others do! Can you imagine if any people you add on your phone contact list could see the phone numbers of all others you have??
Or in your email client? You add a contact, and he sees all your other contacts.
No way. My friends are private for me.
I really don't understand the FB concept: I add a friend, and he sees my other friends. Why should my friends know each other??

Well, there is a way to avoid that, but it's too complex. Too easy to make a mistake. Or they reconfigure the privacty settings and you are fucked up: your wife or colleagues see that you have 20 girls from Indonesia or Colombia among your friends. Difficult to justify that.

My solution: I don't use FB. I add my friends to my two main accounts (I don't tell my real name to anyone), but they are closed: all information visible only to MYSELF. Very egocentric, but effective to protect my privacy. I have 50 requests of friendship pending from various people I know, but I simply ignore them. If they want to get in touch with me, they can Google my name and get the email address.

This kinda activity has to be organized by Private Messages. I'd suggest upgrading to a membership.

We are getting a few new and old friends together to hit up various casas, strip clubs, after hours spots, and parties in rural Medellin all while drinking and staying safe. We speak Spanish so welcome beginners and non Spanish speakers.

After RTFF I learned that FB was a favored resource for Medellin. I've had a fake page for nine years that served me well for occasional anonymous usage before ID was required. I uploaded a face obscured profile pic and sent out about three or four messages to Medellin girls referenced with links in other posts. Much to my surprise a window appeared announcing that FB periodically conducts ID checks and demanded I submit ID. I've since gone back and the challenge still prevents me from accessing my page.

It was only within the last year and a half that I created another authentic page with less than 100 of my friends and family members added. I'm reluctant to use my real page to start adding dozens of Colombian Babes for appearance sake. I've spent some time researching FB info see if there was a way to hide friends from other friends and it appears no such feature is available. It's likely other forum members also don't want to swamp their legitimate FB pages with 20 year old Chicas friends from Medellin.

Have any of you had this same ID challenge? How are you adding all these Medellin girls to your friends list? Are you opening separate accounts (if it's permitted?) and if so wouldn't searches and face tagging lead other acquaintances to both your pages?

If there were no hookers I would not visit Medellin.

Medellin is a lovely place to settle, work and live, IMHO.

Without hookers ............. I would visit Singapore and Hong Kong but not Indonesia. I am certain I'm not alone.

You are so wrong here!!
If we leave aside the hookers and local girls matter, Singapore and HK offer a lot to a business man, but not that much to a pure tourist.
Indonesia, besides its lovely girls (hookers, FLs, and girlfriends), has A LOT TO OFFER to the tourist (even to couples in honeymoon)!! I will not enumerate. Plenty of natural beauty, wilderness, diving, jungle, . And even culture and archeology. Did you hear about Borubudur?

...... Colombia has more to offer. I don't think they mind that foreigners are fucking hookers in their country. They feel hurt there's a portion of their tourist industry dedicated to it.......

If there were no hookers I would not visit Medellin. Without hookers I would not visit Sao Paulo but would definitely visit Rio. Without hookers I would visit Sosua but would not visit Santo Domingo. I would not visit Tijuana but would visit San Jose. I would not visit Panama but would visit Havana. I would visit Thailand but would not the Philippines. I would visit China but not Cambodia. I would visit Singapore and Hong Kong but not Indonesia. I am certain I'm not alone. Many cities and countries get a lot of revenue from hobbyists. That money goes to valuable use, providing social services, etc.

There are rainy seasons to consider.

Weather is the same all year, pleasant in Medellin, hot in Cartagena.

[Fun Luvr]

This was a good read: sound advice. I'm planning to visit Colombia for the first time this year and I'm going to take Spanish lessons for the next six months in preparation. I'm thinking September would be good a time to go weather wise? What do you think? Medellin and Cartagena are the destinations for my visit.

I guess a guy who never gets a woman in the US loses his fucking mind when a Colombiana winks at him.

Just the opposite, guys who get girls in the US knows what they cost and $170 USD will cover dinner and drinks.

You can do it the easy way and go to the Mansion.

Or.

Visit a bookstore (or go online) and pick up a basic Spanish language course with CDS (much cheaper than the better Pimsleur courses). Use the books along with the CDS. That's important, because you need to make the connection between Spanish spelling and pronunciation. Otherwise you'll be baffled when trying to translate "ah ee", which is spelled "hay. ".

Learn basic greetings. Learn how to ask if someone speaks English. Learn the numbers. Learn a few basic verbs, how to conjugate them and basic sentence structure. Just a few weeks, a few hours per day will pay off.

While you're picking up some Spanish, start reading up on Medellin. I combine reading with Google Maps. When a hotel, restaurant, club or casa is mentioned, I find it and check out Street View. I want to know what the area looks like. If it looks rough during the day, I'm not going at night, or I'm doing a taxi door to door.

Figure out a few go to places. Places you would like to visit while you're there. Maybe Energy, Fase 2, or some other places. I'd recommend picking a few places close to each other and not in the heart of El Centro.

Read up on that neighborhood and find a hotel that's fairly convenient. This will help minimize your taxi rides. While you're at it, check the hotel area for restaurants. Now you should be prepared...

Why would US immigration care? Try saying that going into a Latin American country.

Okay. I posted a report in August 2015 with pictures going into Sexy Amigas casa in Medellin when IMMIGRATION stopped us to make sure we were in the country legally. They didn't give a fuck about us going inside to fuck hookers because after they okayed us to leave that is exactly where we walked into. (Actually they had to go inside to get my friend out who had ran by before they could stop him.) Again why do you think they would care? You yourself said it was nothing illegal.

This guy was not the first to get locked up over this, and Colombia isn't the only country to have done it. Add Costa Rica, Domincan Republic, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Guys who travel without making a spectacle of themselves (E. G. Pawing and slobbering over obvious providers in upscale restaurants) or embarrassing the countries on the Internet are left alone because they aren't doing anything different than the locals. Some guys don't learn. Now there is one fewer such guy.

The Colombians I have befriended have said the same thing. Extranjeros come for drugs and women while Colombia has more to offer. I don't think they mind that foreigners are fucking hookers in their country. They feel hurt there's a portion of their tourist industry dedicated to it. Specifically guys like Jake who ran a business out of specifically bringing extranjeros down to fuck hookers.

That's why Jake got thrown in the slammer. It's too much. It would be the same as telling Colombian immigration you're there to fuck hookers. I'm pretty sure even though its legal they would turn you around, haha.

US immigration might care, especially for those who have SENTRI which has very strict requirements to obtain.
