Medellin Reports

[Elvis 2008]

You really think you will be able to get the toothpaste back into the tube after that? You are not going to get a blindfold back on to someone after they have seen the light. Name one mongering scene that was great, then turned to shit, then went back to being great again. It does not happen. Get used to the new normal.

It is funny in that Paulie said the exact opposite, but I agree with you. The scene in Argentina is way, way down. Mexico is way down. The Texas border towns have been shuttered. Only decent border town now is Tijuana. Mexico City shut down clubs. Lima Peru shut down many of the clubs, and there has been a crackdown there. The clock tower in Cartagena has seen a crack down as well. USA escort scene is way down.

Medellin is due for a crackdown IMO as well. In the airports, the sex tourists are easy to pick out and I am not sure how long this will be tolerated.

You make it sound like it was very common to see this. But the truth is it was rare. Now I don't doubt it since I've seen the quality of girls drop to shit.

Well I'm stating what I've actually witnessed and before the centro girls couldn't hack it in places like Gustos.

This was a fact.

But hey it's just an observation.

Doesn't effect me at the moment one way or another.

And rife with personal bias at the same time. The only thing that matters is whether the mongerers who go there now find what they are looking for with a degree of satisfaction that will keep them coming back. If not, then time to change venues, for them. The past and the future state are irrelevant. I think you would agree.

The truth always comes out. I can confirm Centro girls have been in Lleras a lot longer than six years ago. I completely understand why some of us have been in denial about it. If I were shelling out that kind of money for a go I would not want to find out what's really going on and spoil the fantasy.

Now they're crawling with them.

6 years ago when I first started coming to mde I would find a dime on every trip.

Yes the girls are charging stupid money.

But that's not my gripe. My gripe is that the quality of girls looks wise has deteriorated so badly.

It use to be Gustos and places like Envy were goldmines for finding non pros who occasionally needed to make some $$.

I had many great experiences. And yes it was pricey. But these aren't fb or centro girls. They have jobs and standards.

Those types of girls are long gone. Lleras is no diff than centro rn only with jacked up prices.

If you're buying a Bentley I know it'll cost me a lot. But I don't expect to pay the same price at a Honda dealership as a Bentley.

And that's what's happening.

I know some of you guys think it's always been like this and I'm sure there always have been girls who tried.

But I def have enough experience in medellin to tell you how it is now and how it was back then.

And these loud crowds of want to be ballers are not just ruining the lleras scene I also saw first hand they're calling over fb girls and keeping them all night and prob overpaying.

Fb girls and centro street girls imo is a set market that can fluctuate a little. I mean 20-30 k depending on certain things guys want.

I always knew the independents would charge what they want and not back down.

But hey it's just an observation.

Doesn't effect me at the moment one way or another.

Imagine you are a solid 9 or 10 in Colombia.

All you need is OnlyFans or an FB account where you advertise "private" videos for $$.

Parque Lleras doesn't even compute for you.

[Huacho]

However, don't screw it up and substitute "pollo" for "polvo."

And be sure not to use 'polvo' in Portugal or Brazil ja ja.

[Osteoknot]

This rang so true to me. I'd love some advice from the folks that have already made the big move.

For me, the big move is a ongoing process and not a singular event. You are already ahead of me as I have been unable or unwilling to divest myself of the material "trappings" I have accumulated back in the great ol' US of A. Surround yourself here with people you know you can trust and then trust no one. That may sound laconic and cynical, but your fall-back should be that you can walk away from everything without a regret. My fall-back is if I Die Tomorrow, I Die a Happy Man (my epitaph) so I guess that's more of a cop-out than a fall-back, jajajajajaaja.

I believe you are wise to try and develop an income stream or "side hustle" that does not depend upon you're being here in Colombia. Better to slowly expand into any business ventures here after you have lived here for awhile and get to understand the culture.

[Osteoknot]

BTW, anyone know this dude's deal? I don't get dudes coming to Colombia to be bums. https://youtu.be/z_u8ZOYrhPI.

Of why "they" can demand you have a return ticket when you book to fly here.

And if you were homeless, can you imagine a better climate than Medellin? And I don't believe there is any social welfare system but I have noticed that people seem generous with their change and spare food for the homeless here in Medellin.

I swear to God I saw that same dude in May on el palo and he was asking some lady at a hot dog stand for some hot sauce and I had to tell him it's called salsa picante or ají and we told him to go to the éxito LOL.

[Silver Turtle]

I don't disagree with you about what has happened, and it is the "new normal", but things will get better once a lot of the mongers return to Asia, but it will never be like before.

That's precisely what you have been doing against. For the last 5 years, you have been calling for mongers to come to Medellin. You gave the description and instruction everyday. You couldn't stop writing a post for a day. The result is the increase in the price and decline in the quality in Centro and Poblado.

Boy that exact shit fucked with me today here in Thailand. I met a chick with ass walking down the street. I turned my motorbike around to go talk to her. Got her app ID and later on sent messages. She wanted my usual $28 disco freelance price. But then I started looking at the pics on her profile and noticed some of them were from the beach area where chicks go for $11-$14. I was thinking what if I give this chick $28 and later find out she works the beach. I would be hot to have paid double. So I didn't pull the trigger.

[Jcgivesos]

The authorities will come for you if you are found to be prominently pimping. By prominent I am referring to the infamous Colombia Jake. Be careful with that.

Who said anything about pimping? Not that at all. But it gave me a good laugh.

I don't know Jake, but I'm going to try and read some on it.

Thanks!

4161 this morning, I'm going to wait it out a couple of days to see if it continues. I loaded up earlier this week so I'm covered in case it starts to rise again.

I loaded up this week as well, and as soon as it hits 4,200 I'm going to hit the ATM's again.

Well I guess I am mistaken, but up until five years ago I had never seen any who work Centro in Lleras. I believe you, so I guess the percentage of those working both venues has increased significantly over the past five years.

4,193 at 11:49 am (XE rate).

Just to make sure people understand. The XE rate is like a stock market quote. You can't get that rate at this moment. But if the exchange rate closes at that level you will be able to get it a day or so later.

I've met similar types and worse in Thailand and Philippines. Guy in Manila was one of the worst turned out bums I ever saw anywhere. Met a plastic bottle collector in Pattaya. Dope, girl, mental problems. Awful thing Colombians sitting down to a meal and that bum comes along and can't even beg in Spanish.
