Medellin Reports

[Osteoknot]

Thank you so much for the detailed and very helpful information. Much obliged.

I think you have information overoad at this point jeje and can make an informed choice on your own.

My answers are based on actual experience. Anyone who has spent anytime in Colombia knows there is the official version which usually doesn't amount to a hill of frijoles and then there is the "real world" way of getting things done.

I have taken white, yellow, red, blue, green, black, and more "taxis" from the airport without a problem. The white ones get preferred access and for the others I walked over to the parking lot with these "renegade" drivers, LOL. Trust your instincts. One time I signed a waiver that said I was on a sightseeing tour for my ride to the airport, jajaj. There is more than one way to peel an onion.

Sounds like your best advice came from someone who also stayed at the Peter Principle who said they would send a vehicle out for you. Good luck and it is a good sign that so many people here are willing to help first-timers.

100% success method for me is this: Tell them that you have plans at X time and if they don't arrive by Y time, you won't be able to see them. I do this whenever I need them to be on time and it has always worked.

OTOH if I'm not real-conscious, I just assume they'll be 30-60 minutes late.

Same here, I meet only Facebook, seeking and sweety that work in the mall (semi pro) they show up at the apt always 30-60 minutes late, so it's easy to plan, Only 1 girls that I repeat all the time, she is almost never late, but not common in Colombia.

Some of the information provided by the first guy is a little misleading. Yellow cabs are not authorized to make pickups at the airport unless it is a pre-arranged pickup. Only the white cabs are authorized for random pickups. The rate is set by the government. Currently, I think it is 90,000 COP to anywhere in Medellin. That includes Poblado and Laureles. Cities outside Medellin, such as Envigado and Sabaneta, are a little more. There should be a sticker inside the windshield with the rates. The price includes the tolls. I have heard some drivers try to charge extra for the tolls. Confirm with the driver the price before you leave the airport.

When you exit the baggage claim area, there will be a group of guys asking if you want a taxi. Those are renegade drivers. Just shake your head no, or say "No, gracias", and keep walking. Just a few steps outside the baggage claim area, to the right is a doorway to the sidewalk. Walk out and there should be white taxis waiting. If not, look for someone walking around who looks like they could be a dispatcher and ask for a taxi. That person may be standing against the wall to the left after you exit through the doorway.

As for money exchanges, there are many are the Unicentro mall. It's within walking distance of San Peter; but having never been there, you should take a taxi. I don't know if any are open on Sunday.

Good advice, I always stick with the white taxis.

Invariably, the other drivers you mentioned will try to pull the tunnel toll extra stunt meaning it's extra, which I think is around 18,600 Pesos.

I told a friend of mine to take a white taxi once, and he didn't listen as an Uber driver intercepted him prior to getting to the white taxis, and he spent 100 K versus 80 K which was the fare at the time.

I berated him for doing this, telling him that for the 20 K additional he paid, that he could have gone with a street skank in Centro for that amount, which made sense to him. LOL.

You guys are awesome, Thanks for the excellent replies. Now I know what to do and don't feel intimidated.

Why on earth would anyone go through all the hassles, airports, masks, shoes off, immigration lines etc. To go overseas to fuck ugly women? And not only does he invite over a woman he considers ugly but he doesn't vette her in the least, and thus is stuck with all condom and an upcharge for kissing. Well he (FunLuvr) warned us about her, so all you guys into ugly women, take heed! I hope he didn't have to pay her too much to leave, but probably did as he didn't disclose the amount.

I think perhaps your taking the term "ugly" to literally. I think what the poster was trying to convey was that the girl wasn't as pretty as the others which doesn't mean that she was ugly, just not as pretty.

So on the infamous scale of 1-10, perhaps she was a 5 or 6, versus a 2 or 3 if that makes any sense at all, as like you say," who would travel overseas to fuck ugly women."

I like both of these ideas and I will use them.

[Villainy]

My suggestion. At least I've had some pretty good success with this technique. We agree on 200 + taxis (or whatever), then I tell her that if she arrives within 15 minutes of our appointment time she gets a 20 mil bonus. That is trivial to me (and almost everyone here) but it is a real motivator for many girls.

But is it really just as fun for you being semi-conscious? If it is, I'm impressed and I want some of what you're taking. Jeje.

I contacted Giraldo Sara from Facebook Saturday to see if she was available. Being the day before Easter, I knew the pickings were slim. She agreed to come over Saturday night. She arrived a little late, but kept me informed. She is not attractive at all, but I was hoping her performance would make up for her looks. Big disappointment. A blow-up doll would have been better because it would have had a better attitude. She arrived and went straight to the bedroom and removed all her clothes. I didn't mind that because I was okay with a quickee. No foreplay, kissing with extra money (I refused). Then she wanted a condom for everything. When I tried to reason with her for oral without a condom, her only answer was "condom!". I quickly lost interest and paid her to leave. At least she didn't make a fuss about leaving, nor try to steal anything.

I have been with over 100 FB chicas, and only four have been a total disappointment. All four have been toward the bottom of the appearance scale. I think I have learned my lesson, no more ugly chicas.

In case there are more than one Giraldo Sara in Medellin on FB, she is the one with a lot of tattoos. Someone else's experience may be completely different, but I have a pretty good average of very good performance from Facebook chicas..

I was with her about a year ago & had a pretty good time. I set the parameters of 200 k total with BBBJ & she agreed. She was a bit messed up on beer, rum & tussi but was a lot of fun. At times she tried to rush things but I laid down the law that I didn't care if someone was waiting for her, this was our date, it was my vacation, & we would take our time. I would not repeat with her but made the best of a tricky encounter.

[Combo]

JjBee62 has recommended telling them 1/2 or 1 hour before you want them to show up. That works for most of them but what about the punctual ones? Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus. Meaning there are some that are very vigilant and will really show up on time or damn close to it. You may not be through eating or showering and it will be inconvenient if they show up early.

Sorry Sailor, I know you were talking about a flake situation, but I remembered I wanted to suggest something on improving timeliness and I had to get it written down before it evanesced from my aging brain.

I have no experience with Fayboo chicas, and believe what your reporting.

But one would think that the "uglier" chicas perhaps should be better providers. Maybe it's because of the way Fayboo operates, with all the transactions / negotiations being arranged before meeting in person, hence once the deal is set, and the Chica shows up, it's difficult to abort the session without paying up. And I can see how some of the Fayboo Chicas when going with guys, just view it as a one time transaction, so could care less how it goes.

Again, I have no Fayboo experience, and maybe other board members here have encountered exactly the same thing as you, with the uglier Fayboo girls being the worst providers.

Contrary to this, I believe the opposite is true for the street scene, with the uglier girls being the better providers, and the dynamic as your aware is very different with everything face to face, and the uglier girls having to compete with the prettier ones on the street.

Why on earth would anyone go through all the hassles, airports, masks, shoes off, immigration lines etc. To go overseas to fuck ugly women? And not only does he invite over a woman he considers ugly but he doesn't vette her in the least, and thus is stuck with all condom and an upcharge for kissing.

I would consider booking ahead, one of those guys who holds up the sign with your name on it inside the airport. I think you pay ahead for those, too (I've done it, I just don't remember) and that would be you max convenience and ease, and they will also have your destination address ahead of time. This is also the most expensive option but the value is still worth it.

Or you can print the name and address of your destination address on a 3 x5 card or save it on your phone and show it to a yellow cab driver at the airport and they will put it in their phone GPS and get you there with the same result for around 100 mil COP +/- 20 mil COP ($21-$32 USD total) which is still an incredible value considering you will be taking a scenic taxi ride though the mountains that would cost you $75-$90 USD back here in the states.

If it were me, I would print the name and the address of St. Peters on a 3 x5 card and also write $100.000 COP (yes, with a period) or about $27 USD and you will have guys clamoring for your business at the airport. Actually, that's a lie if it were me I would be taking the bus but not for a first timer who doesn't speak Spanish.

At the airport, the last money exchange closest to the doors you go through after customs and before you get where the public (and taxi drivers) can wait for you inside the airport is a good place to exchange money. The other money exchange inside the airport charges more. Also, there are ATM's at the airport.

If you are asking about money exchange near your apartments then no offense, but you have not been reading this Forum. You will use an ATM and from where you are, walk along the main drag Avenida 70 back toward the metro station (South?) toward San Juan Blvid which is the closest major intersection, cross San Juan then cross Avenida 70, keep heading toward the metro station and after you go through one more stoplight you will see the Davienda ATM on your right..

You can just take a regular taxi at the airport. 90-100 k to St Peters. Show him the address and it won't be an issue. If you're more comfortable with someone that speaks a bit of English, I've got a good guy if you want to DM me.

Also, there's a davienda bank / ATM about 4 blocks from St Peters on 70th that charges no fees. Just a $5 fee from your home branch or none depending on your bank. I've had taxis stop at specific ATMs on the way from the airport to avoid exchanging money at the airport.

Can't help with money exchange places cause I never used any. Always used Davienda or Scotiabank Colpatria ATM's.

Contact Jos/ Joe or whomever you made your reservations with at San Peter and ask them to arrange a ride. Someone will wait for you with your name on a cardboard and driver will have a very nice and comfortable vehicle for same cost as taxi and knows where to go. The drivers are great guys too. Too easy and convenient especially for 1st timers. I use BBVA, no fees, for ATM and it's close too but only allows 300 mil withdrawal but you can do 2 or 3. Really don't need more unless you are a bigger spender.

You guys are awesome, Thanks for the excellent replies. Now I know what to do and don't feel intimidated.

Has anyone successfully scored a girl who sells content?

My experience is that most of them are only interested in selling content other trying to get you to send them money beforehand which is a stupid idea.

Several of them. I'll be doing a few more next trip.

Most of the girls now selling content on Facebook were just selling pussy 2 years ago. Then the travel ban hit and there were no customers. So they started selling content or getting on TikTok or Bigo. Very few of them are selling enough to replace the P4 P income. If you let them know you're only interested in meeting and not buying videos, they'll either stop talking, or switch gears.

Many of the ones who only sell content, or require a deposit or purchase of content to set an appointment are guys selling some girls stuff.

There is a Bcnco Colombia one corner away on LA 70.

Also another bank on LA 70 as you walk to LA 70 you will see a pharmacy next to it is another bank.

Hope this helps.
