Medellin Reports

[Knowledge]

I saw a small group today go through San Diego. It was more like a scene from Drumline than a protest. At first I thought they might have been celebrating the Man you match. It was peaceful except for the very angry rush hour drivers shaking their fists and honking their horns.

I am not on the ground but watching to see if Medellin gets as bad as Cali, People are saying it's not but that it's an isolated incident but that its that they're isolated to certain areas that you can stay away from. It's not like it's a war zone where you don't know where the artillery is going to land next. These people put these videos out today and they are on the ground in Medellin. The 1st one has some awesome footage of the protests and Laureles.

So do you think that guys who could easily afford renting $ 1200 a night penthouses in Medellin, which I don't think there are many of, would also not go with 30 K hookers.

Nope, we go to La Isla or Gusto.

LOL. A poster just wrote in the Rio thread: But keep believing the gringo market is not affected by one monger or group of mongers when those same chicks used to take $25 for all night, but now will not budge off of $400-$1000 a night when the minimum wage is $200 per month. You guys do it to yourselves.

This is correct, and to sweepingly say that "what others pay doesn't effect what you pay" is to say that consumer behavior doesn't effect pricing. That's ridiculous even for someone who halfway listened in high school. It's equally true that there are often a number of different markets in a large city. What spend thrifts / show offs do in the Medellin Facebook market will have no effect on the Centro street scene. There's also often little that can be done about rising prices and / or diminished quality of service. When a venue becomes well known there will always be guys coming and over paying and / or wimping out and paying girls in advance while accepting bad service without any complaint. That said there's still value in encouraging guys in a forum like this not to be part of the problem.

It maybe a bit disingenuous, to say chicks were asking 10 x more, without factoring in and taking into account inflation and the USD-BRL exchange rates.

Exchange rate has nothing to do with it. Chicks do not ask money based on an exchange rate, although some mongers may pay based on one. Mongers come from all over the world. No hooker is going to distinguish what the exchange rate is for a Canadian monger versus an Indian monger versus a Japanese monger.

Heck I've been quoted 20 x what I thought was a reasonable going price. Question is...are YOU going to pay it?.

Not me. I have already stated that. But apparently somebody is or we would not be having this discussion.

LOL. A poster just wrote in the Rio thread:

Just messaged a few barravips girls that I liked to see what the rates are. All of them quoted 500 R / HR for incall, and 600-700 R + uber for outcall, like they are in a fucking union. And anywhere from 2000 R to 5000 R pernoite. I stood firm on my price (500 R pernoite, which I consider a great offer) and all of them wouldn't budge. One of them literally said 'go fuck yourself if you can't afford it"))))

But keep believing the gringo market is not affected by one monger or group of mongers when those same chicks used to take $25 for all night, but now will not budge off of $400-$1000 a night when the minimum wage is $200 per month. You guys do it to yourselves.

There is tons of footage of this in FB etc. I have heard that a couple of hours after protests it was business as usual on 70. Chairs out and music blaring from the bars etc.

A BM who is on ground is recommending taking this shit seriously and not to venture to Laureles. Conflicted as I have trip coming up next week.

It maybe a bit disingenuous, to say chicks were asking 10 x more, without factoring in and taking into account inflation and the USD-BRL exchange rates. Today the worth USD is 3x to 4x more than Brazilian Real (BRL) was 10 years ago.

In 2011-April, 24 the rate was 1.56 https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?f...#table-section.

Personally I think it's somewhat of a moot point, due to the fact, chicks can ask for any damn amount they choose to pull out of their pretty little creative minds. Heck I've been quoted 20 x what I thought was a reasonable going price. Question is...are YOU going to pay it?.

BTW, when I've been quoted 5x, 10x or 20x more than whatever I thought was the going rate, perhaps meant, she was really saying, "I'm really just not that into bumping-uglies with you". However, if you are dumb enough to pay that ridiculous asking price, then let's have at it.

The lower the price the more she wants your milk, the higher the price the less she even wants to touch you.

Good luck having a good session whilst she is laying there with her eyes closed, high prices reflect a gag factor surcharge LOL.

Unfortunately what we are talking about pertains to only hookers and foreign mongers, not the population at large. So it is in fact a micro market. Rio has 12 million people, but check the prices on the gringo market right before Help closed and right now at Mabs and Doce Vida. Chicks are asking up to 10 times what they were just over 10 years ago.

Anyone have feedback on the following places:

The Secret Sala.

Alejas.

[Surfer500]

No mas lockdowns!

http://thecitypaperbogota.com/news/p...nSwnMFgjaxkXuI

Most definetely a boner killer. I will depart if they start up again. I can't be caged in anywhere. Some guys can deal with it, but I cannot, and I'm not one to try to skirt a lockdown requirement. Not at least in a foreign Country. I may have balls in some ways to do the things I do, but this, no I don't.

I am not on the ground but watching to see if Medellin gets as bad as Cali.]

I've got boots on the ground and Medellin is heavenly as always.

People are more desperate for money, than in my prior years of visiting MDE.

An indigenous women was about to start crying while she was asking me for money as I passed by.

There is a place called "drive-in" Covid testing on the corner just south of San Fernando Casino in El Poblado.

I got an antigen test there for $150,000 pesos (overpriced, I know). However, my results were ready online in an hour. You can walk up, however, it's closed on Sundays.

Some puta asked for a tip after she provided terrible service. I declined her request. However, that leads me to believe tourists are giving out tips to putas who didn't put in the work for it.

I walked by a beggar, who walked right up to me and I brushed him off a bit arrogantly. And he said something like "se vaya a la playa, yo." Either that means he would kill me or hopefully he just said something bizarre about the beach LOL.

Cheers!

I can almost guarantee, the guys renting $1,200 per night penthouses in Medellin aren't paying their hookers 30 k.

So do you think that guys who could easily afford renting $ 1200 a night penthouses in Medellin, which I don't think there are many of, would also not go with 30 K hookers.

[Mojo Bandit]

Scary. Is this a 'hang tight, this is an isolated incident' kind of thing or is this widespread and has a high chance of continuing / spreading to other areas. Is it safe if you just stay in the hotel?

The good folks at Lamborghini, Bugatti, McLaren, etc disagree. In just about every area I can think of, including hookers there are rich people spending extravagant sums. In some instances it might be considered an investment, but usually it's simple vanity. For example, there is a market for gold plated toilets. Pretty sure your local burger flippers aren't buying them.

There are guys spending thousands every month on third world putas. I know of 1 guy who has spent well over $100 k US on a webcam model, who he's never met, over the last 3 years.

I can almost guarantee, the guys renting $1200 per night penthouses in Medellin aren't paying their hookers 30 k.

I think comparing 3rd world putas to high end sports cars is a horrible analogy, you can resell the car.

You can't resell the puta after you popped, I see it more akin to a bottle of wine $20 vs $20000.

https://freakonomics.com/2008/07/16/cheap-wine/

Sometimes you get what you pay for IE, Mercedes vs Hyundai.

Sometimes you don't.

With putas it doesn't apply, are there tiny variations in quality sure.

Not much.

I always want to be the top never the bottom.

Always the hunter never the prey.

[BlackThought]

Not a chance honey, I do very well with putas jajajajaaaaaaa.

Where ever I go if I hear how mongers like you are being sodomized.

Do you think I want some of that overcharging, hell no.

I double down and offer way way less than everyone else, and demand even more (Thailand Mexico Philippines Colombia USA strip clubs et al).

Guess what I'll be fucking the puta in the ass bb (literally), I won't be taking it.

The more a puta likes you the less she will charge you.

The closer to free, the better.

There isn't any glam in being overcharged by 3rd world putas (or any puta).

When I was in Asia, just walking down the street very hot 18 yo putas (BTW I'm in my 50's).

Would fuck me for free, without me asking for it for free, I never even bought them a drink.

Why? "because I ain't no chump".

Cool story bro. 50 yo talking like he's still in high school LOL.

[BlackThought]

That's all well and good but you do know there are millionaires in the US paying $10,000 per hour for escorts of the same quality that we are paying $50 in Colombia.

Yup, many millionaires in Miami do just that.
