Medellin Reports

[Turgid]

....... Throwing money around, you look like a damned fool and a joke...............

Or a cartel member.

Several US stayed have no helmet law. Ohio is another and Connecticut did for some time. The DR has a helmet law but like many other laws it is not uniformly enforced. Motorcycles are involved in most accidents.

In Colorado, there is no helmet law. I've watched people ride there without helmets for decades. In China watched riders with holding babies almost every day.

Thank you Talon and Jbee62! Great information! LOL'ed at "struck prepago gold".

I was looking at SA. Is the membership worth it?

Just say you're visiting Medellin in the future and would like to meet. If they respond in the affirmative, particularly with kissing emojis or saying "amor", then congrats, you've struck prepago gold. If they act coy and ask what do you mean then you've got one of two options. You can just be direct and say you want to exchange money for sex, although you run the risk of them getting offended. ("Do I look like a puta?" one indignant girl demanded after I tried the blunt approach. Needless to say that attempt was a failure.) But at least it eliminates uncertainty and you can negotiate services and prices beforehand.

The other option which some guys on these boards prefer is to treat it like you're asking them out on a date. Make small talk, get to know them better, then invite them over to your rental, maybe mention sharing a bottle of wine or some mary jane if that's what you're into. Then when you're together work your charm and your way into her pants. On one hand, you have a higher chance of meeting non-pros, getting GFE, and not having to pay much or anything at all with this method. On the other, you run the risk of striking out, she refusing to do a particular act you want, or her demanding money anyway.

Actually the hardest part of driving in the DR is all the Moto-concho's that appear out of nowhere while your driving that you have to watch out for. And they are so stupid there not wearing helmets holding babies in their arms. I've never been to another Country where people on motorcycles where not wearing a helmet.

All valid points regarding the DR. I used taxis when I was in the DR, and I can attest that the driving in Santo Domingo was quite erratic. I also noticed potholes in the DR, that were large enough to the point that if a car went over it, the car legit might get stuck / wrecked. My taxi driver and I just would drive around drinking ice cold Presidente and try to pick up chicas.

Obviously, people here have success with driving in MDE, as many contributors have shared that they travel with their own car and motorcycle and they do so safely. I feel like if I lived in MDE for a long period of time, knew the roads, understood the driving climate / culture, I could eventually adapt and start driving.

I did notice that expat on YouTube who has his AirBnB business, does GoPro videos of him riding his bicycle through Bogota, and I believe he has been living in Colombia for over a decade.

A quick way to lose respect of Colombians is to throw money around liberally on people unrelated to you. Its my understanding and experience that in this culture money is exclusively for family or occasionally for the absolute closest of Family friends with a long history. Being tight fisted will gain respect for you. Throwing money around, you look like a damned fool and a joke. I find a way to interject economic hardship into every dialogue and interaction.

Working remotely. Dollars in, pesos out. This has been a colossal and difficult transition for me, but I'm glad I got started 5 years ago, its paying off now.

I have really made a ton of money since arriving here in Medellin. If $5800 in a period of 6 months, is more than you can handle, you shouldn't be mongering. When you have been living with a chic for 4 months, and you haven't given her more than a Million Pesos, the swap isn't that bad at all. I keep telling you and others, the worst thing you can do is tell another BM how to spend his money. If I couldn't afford it, I wouldn't do it, but to have access to Medellin for a full year and no longer have to travel with luggage is a benefit itself. I was never here looking for respect, I came to bang chics and make my experience hassle free! Pollo Negro is out!

Never? But I met you in Thailand where mfs ride around with the helmet in their hand instead of on their head. And by chance they do put it on their head, they don't buckle it on.

...but how about this new bikini I gave to Pinky, last night?


The recent sex goddess freebie has been trying to call things off, but it really feels like she's just trying to get me to profess my love or commit to something. One minute she'll be telling me she loves the sex and spending time with me, the next it's that we can't see each other because she doesn't want to get attached to some one that is unavailable, then it's that she's moving close to me in Poblado. Interestingly enough, she said her ex is a gringo and has a place in Poblado. She will be living there, because it will save her some time in the morning before work, a few days a week. Hmmm. I'll definitely bang her almost any time she wants, but the honeymoon might be over. She is truly seeking an arrangement. Unfortunately, it's not one I'm interested in.

PM to me her contact, I'm SA.

At this point there's no reason to talk to them at all. Just add them and forget about them. When you're 10 days away from your trip, start messaging them. It's quite easy.

"Hola".

"Como ests?

"Estar en Medellin proxima semana y quiero verte."

"Hello. How are you? I will be in Medellin next week and I want to see you."

Unless she responds with "No soy prepago", you can start talking price and service.

How about when he starts talking service with one he's interested in and he say's, "quiero penetrarte sin condon."

Do you know what words Colombians use for "barebacking" or "raw" besides "sexo sin condon". They didn't teach this at EAFIT when I attended.

People are people and they have many strange ideas about Americans and many Colombians and Venezuelans have a deep rooted hatred for Americans, trust me I found this out the hard way. Many of these working girls have shown me that they are just as opportunistic as people growing up in the Ghettos of America. I grew up in the Ghettos of america and I know what it is like to live hand to mouth. Many have confided in me and told me, that they all think gringos are stupid, rich, and wasteful with money. I can easily see why they think that after spending 3 years here mongering.

As a business man, I have worked in the same profession for the past 27 years, 22 of those years, I built my career and over the last 5 years, I have been at the top of my professional career. I have owned my own businesses since 2013 and I know how business works and numbers work. I came to Medellin for a Medical procedure and every penny that I have spent since I have been here will be added to that medical expense, so this all works in my favor. No matter what I spend here in Medellin, it will be contributed to my medical expense and it will probably get me my biggest income tax return ever. While living here in Medellin, I have ways to receive payment for services without it ever affecting my business numbers, so as far as income; it appears that I stopped working back in March. I have an accountant to help me with things like this. So if Colombia wants me to pay income tax on the money I earned up until March, no problem.

I am still amazed that many people act as though the world has not changed since the quarantine, it has and those of us who were ready are truly capitalizing by working from home. I work for myself from home so no one tracks my income, because I can have payments re-routed to other accounts that have nothing to do with my business or me. It has always been the American way, it has never been about how much income you make in America, it has always been about how much income they can prove you made in America. As far as Colombia goes, it looks like I only spend money in Colombia, it does not look like I earn a penny when I am here. As far as the Colombian government is concerned, I am here to have my teeth fixed and that is my original reason for coming to Colombia in March. As a good faith gesture to show many who know me from Park Botero, I want them to see, that all Americans are not here to mistreat chicas who work the streets and even when we leave and return to America it does not mean we will make every chic that we have banged suffer until we return again. I have always been the kind of guy to treat people the way that they treat me. Pollo Negro is out!

Just wondering if Pinky will ever again broadcast? I added her when you first mentioned her name and then read that she stopped for fear of being recognized, think she'll ever try again?

[Surfer500]

Ah yes. The Dominican Republic, where brakes are optional, but a working horn is mandatory.

I have a two word response to explain why I think you and Surfer are unfairly exaggerating the danger and complexity of driving in Colombia: Dominican Republic.

Any of you who have visited the country, especially those of you who may have driven there know exactly what I'm referring to.

Interesting you chose the DR versus say New Delhi, India.

Actually, my post was about how dangerous it is as a pedestrian walking in Medellin, versus the complexity of driving in the City.

And as far as the Dominican Republic, I have no problem driving there at all, and always rent a car, yet it's out of necessity, as public transport is limited there, and I have driven pretty much all over the entire eastern part of the Country, albeit I always stayed clear of Santo Domingo except to pass thru, and didn't drive at night there. As far as Medellin, the public transport system is excellent if you avoid rush hour, taxis are plentiful, there's UBER and others, and dirt cheap, so for me personally no need for a car.

[Knowledge]

It is a place where car horns have to be replaced when they wear out. I have never seen that anywhere before or since.

I set up a FB account and have been adding female "friends" in Medellin. How do I go about asking their rates, services and availability. It seems like some are def escorts, but some of those same ones have photos of their kids on their page LOL. Can I just come right out and ask them or what? Thanks in advance for your help.
