Stupid shit in Medellin

[MiamiBoy1]

And you think this post is smart? You just described your "girlfriend" as nothing special, literally a piece of meat. To be clear, I totally agree with you on that.

If you had a real GF, you would know that she cooks steak like a master chef and if you go out and eat hog dogs, then you are risking never having one of her steaks again.

I am going to quote myself now.

Why are you affixing the word "girlfriend" to someone you just described as a nothing special piece of meat?

What did you expect from someone who thinks pussy is pussy and would fuck anything with a hole? I'm not surprised.

[Elvis 2008]

You never get tired of saying dumb shit huh?

It is the rare woman who gets that sexually satisfying her man is a requirement for her to be GF / wife material. For me, monogamy is not a social construct but something a woman has to earn. Part of earning my monogamy is sexually satisfying me.

It is not a crime to say you want variety in an ocean of short order cooks.

Then you are not a real man because you are delusional.

Only in your mind. And you have a problem with reading comprehension and the definition of an opinion.

Opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

So since you are giving your opinion, I am going to treat it as such. Because it is not based on fact or knowledge everything you have written in this post is irrelevant and useless. I am actually the real man in this discussion. I do not care how another grown man chooses to run his life. If he want to live in Texas and travel the world looking for pussy and then come onto ISG to lecture us about monogamy that is fine with me. Am I gong to listen or pay any attention to what he has to say, nope. Real mean do not need to make themselves feel better by putting others down and calling names like in grade school. Time and time again you take one paragraph or one line and spin it to mean what you want it to mean without really addressing the issue at hand. Which is every man has the right to live their lives how they choose.

I don't live in one place all the time. I keep multiple residences and multiple countries. I have made my lifestyle choice and you have made yours. You may continue to dislike my lifestyle choices.

And although I don't know you, but I am not seeing through your posts that you are some sort of societal example (the society where you are from) of the way a man should be. Now you might be and it just gets lost in your presentation. And if that is the case then maybe I am the one with reading comprehension problems. But I don't think so.

But most here can see your attacks on others probable originate from some sort of deep trauma that you are still working out. That is ok. I see you lashing out a many in this section and others. As the last 8 out of 10 posts in your history show that you are more interested in stating your opinions than your at giving others hard intelligence about the purpose of this forum.

What is the purpose of this forum?

"The purpose of this Forum is to facilitate the exchange of information between men who are looking for sex with women."

Source: FAQs Topic: General Questions.

If you have a master chef at home, do you have to have variety and go to McDonald's and Burger King? It is not variety you are looking for. It is being sexually satisfied and trusting that you are going to continue to be sexually satisfied.

Female desire tanks in relationships, and it is the rare woman who gets that sexually satisfying her man is a requirement for her to be GF / wife material. For me, monogamy is not a social construct but something a woman has to earn. Part of earning my monogamy is sexually satisfying me.

It is not a crime to say you want variety in an ocean of short order cooks. I get how bad it is out there.

But you are saying it is your desire for variety versus their underperformance that is the issue. By having multiple women, you are letting women off the hook. IOW, you are simping.

You all are giving the title of master chef to a bunch of short order cooks.

Reference is made the the bold highlights. You are saying that Elvis. Not me. You are project your opinions and world view onto me. Although we might be from the same country and same state we are as different as two individuals can be. You want to call me names like you did when bullying people in grade school, I am fine with it. As a grown man I do not care. I have been called worse in my country up close and in my face. Although those individuals may or may not have lived to regret it.

Answer my questions Elvis:

Elvis,
I have asked you some very specific questions that you have failed to address. I guess because you don't have the answers to those questions you simply avoided them. But I am going to ask you again.

Who uses Colombian Prostitutes more, gringos or Colombian men?
What percentage of Colombian men are completely monogamous to their wives?
Are you coming into this thread to tell us that you do not "actively fuck hookers"
Elvis2008 are you married?
Because if you are not you have not locked down anything. You are only have access to the pussy for as long as the girl you are involved with lets you have access to the pussy. And you have no control when she decides to give access to the pussy to anyone else with or without your knowledge.

Your serve!

[Gabacho]

Elvis,

You are not going to move the goal posts with me. You putting moves on me better than a NFL running back and spinning things better than a politician from Texas.

I ask you some very specific questions that you have failed to address. I guess because you don't have the answers to those questions you simply avoided them. But I am going to ask you again.



Who uses Colombian Prostitutes more, gringos or Colombian men? What percentage of Colombian men are completely monogamous to their wives? I contend that the expectation of monogamy exists. But the reality of it is non existent. Now if you have some facts to back up your statements I am ready to review them. Otherwise you are just proffering your opinion that I disagree with. Neither one of us is right.



What percentage of Colombian men have the means to keep their "daughters off the track" so to speak.

Are you coming into this thread to tell us that you do not "actively fuck hookers"?

https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is...nogamy-5176515

Monogamy is a social construct and I have given facts that prove it. It is only your failure to understand this and your willingness to simply state your opinions as if they are facts that prevent you from understanding that the world does not operate through the lens of "Elvis2008". I am not lying and I am being ethical. ENM is as as much of a social construct as is Monogamy. That is a fact.



This paragraph is an interesting exercise in delusional thinking. You are both asking a question and answering it without having spoken to either me or any of my girlfriends. So, I am dismissing it as irrelevant in total. Answer my questions. Then you might get a answer from me. I have made my positions very clear. And I understand that you disagree with me. You are not right. You simply have your own opinions.

If this is true why are you not in your home state chilling with the girl of your choice. Tell us why your are posting on ISG in this section if you are such a traditional man? Are you trying to tell us that when you are back in your home state you go without sex until you can fly back to see the girl you are monogamous to and she is pining away for your return?

I am not rebelling against anything. I am thinking for myself. Certain social concepts do not work for me and I do not accept them anymore. Just like rejection of being a wage slave has freed me economically, I have found a social construct that works for me: ENM. It may not work for you or anyone else. But I am not delusional to come on ISG and talk about the benefits or lack of benefits of monogamy. I most certainly, I am not going to run another real man down for how he choses to spend his hard earned money or who he chooses to fuck.

Men are smarter now. They are not "locking anything down". Because modern men understand the true nature of girls. They are always looking for a come up. You are only good with them for the length of time they choose. But that is basic in any relationship. It only last as long the two people who are in the relationship say it does. Each person must wake up and make a determination to stay in the relationship for that day. Day after day this occurs. Until the relationship ends or one of the partners dies.

Elvis2008 are you married? Because if you are not you have not locked down anything. You are only have access to the pussy for as long as the girl you are involved with lets you have access to the pussy. And you have no control when she decides to give access to the pussy to anyone else with or without your knowledge.

Go ahead and make your judgements my ISG Brother. But don't ever think you are better than me or have a better life than me or better girls. Cause you don't. And for that matter you don't have it better than any other brother posting here on ISG. You just think you do. And that is ok. But a real man should not lie to himself or engage in delusion thinking. I make it a point not to do that. And I suggest that others should follow my lead. Think for themselves. Do not accept the judgements of other people. If you have something that you want, work like a mother fucker to get it! Be a man in the arena and pay no attention to critics. They do not count!

The defense rests

Here you go again talking shit. Talking shit is in fact what you do best. Perhaps you ought to change your name to ShitCmdr LOL since that is all you do is command shit.

Oh and if you are from the Dominican Republic why do you have a Las Vegas phone number señor ShitCmdr??

I think you are full of shit.

[Mr Enternational]

If she says you are seeing other women for variety, it means she is no good in bed.

You never get tired of saying dumb shit huh? I love these tomahawk steaks, so according to you I should never want to eat lasagna, chicken, ribs, or hot dogs ever again. I should only have tomahawks in my freezer and when I go out to eat I should only order tomahawks. I love sipping on this Louis 13, so according to you I should just want to throw everything else on my bar in the garbage. Fuck this Jack Daniels; fuck this Old Parr.

Elvis,

You are not going to move the goal posts with me. You putting moves on me better than a NFL running back and spinning things better than a politician from Texas.

I ask you some very specific questions that you have failed to address. I guess because you don't have the answers to those questions you simply avoided them. But I am going to ask you again.

And then you make this ridiculous comment about Colombian women and monogamy.

Are you trying to tell me that only gringos goto Colombian prostitutes?

Who uses Colombian Prostitutes more, gringos or Colombian men? What percentage of Colombian men are completely monogamous to their wives? I contend that the expectation of monogamy exists. But the reality of it is non existent. Now if you have some facts to back up your statements I am ready to review them. Otherwise you are just proffering your opinion that I disagree with. Neither one of us is right.

Obviously, you have not meant any Colombian women who are not hookers nor Colombian fathers who would die before letting their daughters sell themselves for a buck.

My current associates in Colombia consist of my business partner and the family of my business partner, our attorney, the doctors who provide me treatment and my girlfriend. I have not spoken with a working girl since I stepped foot in Colombia. Something for which I have received grief from more than one poster in the Colombia portion of the ISG forum.

What percentage of Colombian men have the means to keep their "daughters off the track" so to speak.

You have GFs and are actively fucking hookers on the side and call yourself an "ethical boyfriend.

Are you coming into this thread to tell us that you do not "actively fuck hookers"?

I am not lying to the girls I am relationships with. Are you? That is what makes me ethical.

https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is...nogamy-5176515

If you are going to make up what GF means, you can do the same with the words lying and ethical.

Monogamy is a social construct and I have given facts that prove it. It is only your failure to understand this and your willingness to simply state your opinions as if they are facts that prevent you from understanding that the world does not operate through the lens of "Elvis2008". I am not lying and I am being ethical. ENM is as as much of a social construct as is Monogamy. That is a fact.

Here's something closer to our time. Thanks to a wild uncle who wrote a lot of letters to his girlfriend and later wife (who kept them all), and their storage in what was my bedroom for 9 months, I'm well informed about the practice of swinging dating back to the mid 1950's. More recently, between 1997 and 2010 I was a frequent participant in swinging groups, clubs and parties, with a few different girlfriends.

While it's not publicly acceptable, it's privately quite popular. From small Bible belt towns to big liberal cities, it's going on all the time. Wife swapping, orgies, gang bangs, threesomes and much more, are all happening right around the corner.

Ive met cops, teachers, preachers, lawyers, and people from all types of backgrounds happily exploring alternatives to basic monogamy. All too often, the people condemning such practices get caught literally with their pants down, doing all the things they preach against.

The question I have for you and your GFs is what do you think your GFs are telling their friends. If she says that you are loyal to her, she is stupid. If she says you are seeing other women for variety, it means she is no good in bed. No, the best answer for her when talking to her friends is, "I am not stupid. I know he is seeing other women, but I call him BF so I get more money out of him

You are not right. You simply have your own opinions.

As far as monogamy goes, you are rebelling against the notion that traditionally a sexual relationship meant monogamy, and often that price was marriage. That ship has sailed with me. Among other things, before I commit to one woman, she has to sexually satisfy me constantly. With me, monogamy has to be earned not given.

If this is true why are you not in your home state chilling with the girl of your choice. Tell us why your are posting on ISG in this section if you are such a traditional man? Are you trying to tell us that when you are back in your home state you go without sex until you can fly back to see the girl you are monogamous to and she is pining away for your return?

I most certainly, I am not going to run another real man down for how he choses to spend his hard earned money or who he chooses to fuck.

And if there is a smoking hot, high value woman who is great in bed, she is not going to be out long. Somebody is going to lock that down, and none of you Medellin morons have locked down any of your women, and that speaks volumes about the quality of the "girlfriends" you all have.

Men are smarter now. They are not "locking anything down". Because modern men understand the true nature of girls. They are always looking for a come up. You are only good with them for the length of time they choose. But that is basic in any relationship. It only last as long the two people who are in the relationship say it does. Each person must wake up and make a determination to stay in the relationship for that day. Day after day this occurs. Until the relationship ends or one of the partners dies.

Elvis2008 are you married? Because if you are not you have not locked down anything. You are only have access to the pussy for as long as the girl you are involved with lets you have access to the pussy. And you have no control when she decides to give access to the pussy to anyone else with or without your knowledge.

Go ahead and make your judgements my ISG Brother. But don't ever think you are better than me or have a better life than me or better girls. Cause you don't.

You violated the standard of conduct on the Forum. The administrator is not against you.

I do not bother to write the "King's English". I don't need to in this thread. Mostly because it is not important to make sure I am grammatically perfect when writing in this particular section. My days of trying to impress anyone arrived when I built my stack of "go fuck yourself" money to the level I needed it to be.

Not a problem. It simply makes you a man who does not keep his word. No problem with that. You have shown your character and if you reply again it will show that you have a need to get the last word in. Go ahead. Your serve! What is the expression the man from Texas uses: "All hat, no cattle". ROTFLMAO.

No my ISG brother. I was not fucking in 6th grade. But I did get my first kiss that I really remember from a redhead with freckles.

On that we have agreement. Now STFU and get on with enjoying your day my ISG brother. That is what I am going to do!

I didn't violate anything, the admin clearly deleted my post and he has done so in the past as well, that's how I know it's bullshit. They also made it so my posts don't get posted right away, giving you pricks the upper hand to talk shit to me.

No one said anything about fucking in the 6th grade, what I said is that you act like you are in the 6th grade as in you have the mentality of a child.

No one was flaming you, I simply stated that Elvis has more expertise on Colombia than you ever will, then you got all defensive and started talking shit to me.

I suspect my other post was deleted because you wrote your phone number in the screen shot I was showing where you messaged me crying like a little bitxh, I suppose I should have redacted it.

Also please STFU with all the idioms and old sayings, we can see right thru it that English is your second language in the way that you phrase things.

Anyways I'm calling it a night I got another busy day tomorrow.

Let's just squash this shit.

I do t even know why I'm taking the time to write this. I have movies to watch and plans for later on tonight. Also I'm not going to message you so get over it loser. I'm. Not going to meet you either. If you want to call me s keyboard warrior or whatever else you can think of go right ahead. You act like you're in 6th grade or something.

[Gabacho]

No my ISG brother. It is not my fantasy. Actually, I had a girl riding my dick cowgirl this morning. So I do not have to have a fantasy of anything sexually.

I sent to a PM to follow up on your invitation to meet you. That is what usually happens in the civilized world. You make direct contact with the person you want to meet and set up a schedule. Or were you just talking shit again and practicing what you preach?.

Names don't impress me about where you live. Tell me the number of what Stratum your residence sits in. Mine sits in a Stratum 3. And it is also where I run my business. (wrote that sentence that way to fuck with you. LOL).

My business is not based on mother fuckers who buy pussy then come up into this thread and attack others doing the same thing like somehow the pussy they buy is better than the pussy everyone else buys. You see those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Or maybe like Elvis you date beauty queens for free? If you do more power to you. I'll stick with regular girls who are more interested in stability than my money.

[SubCmdr]

Look here you dumbass, you really feel the need to talk shit to me about Elvis so bad that you took the time to inbox me and want me to WhatsApp msg you? And if I don't then that means I'm hiding behind my keyboard?? Lmao what you have to be the dumbest Moron on ISG. No one is riding anyone's dick maybe that's just your personal fantasy.

No my ISG brother. It is not my fantasy. Actually, I had a girl riding my dick cowgirl this morning. So I do not have to have a fantasy of anything sexually.

Ill meet you anytime you want, maybe you got more balls than MiamiBoy and want to meet at Exito Aranjuez?? It not near where I live but it's a half way point between my barrio and Centro.

I am not one to judge one on what they write here. Do you? Elvis does not know who I know and neither do you. I have offered to meet him to have a face to face meeting and he has declined. As you have.

I was busy today

I was busy today too. And you don't know this but we are on opposite schedules. (Review my posting history for more information on that subject). I was working with my transfer agent. Shopping for groceries; having food with ATF; and then hanging out with her. And still found time to send your a PM and reply to your posts. Because writing is an effortless activity. Mostly because I don't worry about formalities especially in this thread: Stupid Shit in Medellin. Remember, you are posting here too. So your posts are in the right place also.

So sorry if I didn't have time to private message you or WhatsApp you.

Apology accepted! Ya happy now?

No $50 doesn't make or break me but money is money and it's foolish to waste any amount of money be it $50 or $500 or whatever. Shit I don't even give change to the homeless because you never know when you will need it later for the bus.

It is more foolish to waste time. Something that we are both doing in these exchanges. Money is worthless. I am not attached to it. I am glad I am not cursed with the character flaws of pathological greed and stinginess.

Anyways you're the one who needs to get off my dick you loser and stay the fuxk out of my inbox.

I don't mind that you call me names. Been called worse. Since you do not want to get anymore PMs from me nor have you responded to mine, I take that means that you don't want to meet me anymore. Because I still have not been contacted by you after you gave me the invitation.

Which one is it?

[Gabacho]

You're an idiot, the word is spelt "hoe" and plural is "hoes" look on any fucking rap album tracklist and you would know that.

ho noun: ho; noun plural: hos.

The name for a lady who does put out. A ***** is the name for a lady who puts out for everyone but you.

"I'd like to take that ho and bend her over".

https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...r%20hos&page=8

hoe noun: hoe; plural noun: hoes.

a long-handled gardening tool with a thin metal blade, used mainly for weeding and breaking up soil. "loosen the dry soil with a hoe".

Individuals such as yourself. Why? Because you didn't know the difference between a ho and a hoe.

I do. And it is not just because I am a farmer. Your serve!

[SubCmdr]

I sent you a PM. You have my contact direct contact information. And you have failed to contact me. I see that you posted your public travel schedule. No need to do that. Contact me directly and can work you into my busy schedules. No need to keep beating on your chest in the public forum. I have money to make and pussy to fuck. 50 USD is not shit to me. It won't buy me one more minute of life. Sorry to disappoint you.

I do not write to impress you. I do not proofread my posts as I am not being paid by the word to post up in here. I can write the and speak the Kings English when I choose. I don't bother to put my time in to do that for one of the dumbest of the dumb mother fuckers such as yourself.

I post in this section because I like to play verbal tennis with those who wish to rally with me. When having a debate and you have lost, attack the person. You are Elvis are masters at that logical fallacy. Your serve!

I'm in Medellin right now you dumbass. I've been here since August and I'm staying until February. Anyways you talk about English compression but yet you're posting run on sentences, spelling the word "hoes" incorrectly, and repeating the same stupid shit over and over. By the way you don't start a sentence with the word "and" LOL. Also what the fuck is an original pussy colonizer and why do you think I am one?

I'll meet you anytime you want, maybe you got more balls than MiamiBoy and want to meet at Exito Aranjuez?? It not near where I live but it's a half way point between my barrio and Centro. Anyways you're right I'm not an admin, go ahead and post your stupid shit. Atleast it's in the right forum LOL.

Chao loser.
