Stupid shit in Medellin

[TheDerilious]

I guess when you go to mcdonald's and the price of the big Mac says 15 mil on the sign you just hand them 30 mil? Mr Papaya 🤣.

Yeah, people shouldn't let themselves get price-gouged because of being a foreigner, but there is always a line to draw. If you walk into a McDonalds and see the price of a Big Mac is 20 cents for foreigners and 10 cents for locals, I think it is perfectly fine for people to just pay the premium. The major point is that they are aware of the upcharge and making a best faith effort to not allow themselves to be swindled constantly. Truthfully, a lot of pobrecitos here don't seem to understand that haggling, negotiating, and making a scene over 20 cents doesn't matter to a lot of folks who would be paying $10 for a burger.

It also seems to me that a lot of folks are obsessed with "winning" any exchange. They have to pay bare-bottom prices so they can feel like they got back at the "vapid women" who shun them in real life. They have to be the ones who are on the forum talking about how they get 10/10, amateur, chicas who totally love them for cheap / free. Everybody needs to find balance between being "that" guy and being some poor sap who is getting roped along by chicas and dropping tons of money for sub-par service.

You have to be kidding? $1.80 to these girls means a lot. How on earth can you justify comparing this to overpaying for the metro?

Really? This is an example of how guys lose touch or don't give a damn on how tough life is in Colombia for these girls and their families. Shameful is what it is.

$1.80 , Just the idea of haggling for that amount is disgusting.

Newsflash: Life is tough for everybody, not just Colombian hookers. And NOBODY in this thread is going to Medellin with the purpose of making life better for the hookers and their families. They are going there because they can pay chicks to get their dick wet. If they cared so much about the girls and their families then they could just send the money through Western Union without going to fuck, as I am sure you do. You will be blessed for your benevolence.

I agree with your every word. I think a few of our "compatriots" think that these young women grew up dreaming of the day that they could sell their female parts to some fat, slob who doesn't bathe for enough money to feed themselves and their baby for a couple of days. Yep I'm sure that was their dream.

And low and behold here comes prince gordo, who wants to negotiate the price of their taxi (or metro) to save that $1.80.

If a guy can't afford to be decent he should go to the casas where the price is fixed, there the girls won't expect a tip so they should be right at home.

Tough luck. I'm not there to support hookers. I am there to use them. No moral issues with that at all. If any of those girls were in the US they would not even look at you.

Sounds harsh but what I am saying is if roles were reversed you can bet your ass that they would not give a flying FK about you either.

With that attitude you are probably right. No girl would give a flying FK about you.

Good for you, I hope you spend that $1.80 in savings well.

I don't eat at McDonalds and to make that comparison to desperate people looking for money to McDonalds pricing is ludicrous.

Even in business it is not looked at as $1.80 per se. It is looked at as being charged 100% more or double. If you were riding the metro and they tried to charge you double of what it costs then I am sure you would not say I came all the way here so them charging me 25 cent more is nothing to argue about. You are going to wonder why they are trying to charge you double. But once again when pussy is involved a little extra seems to not matter.

I'm not condoning what either of these two guys did, but it does appear quite clear that Colombia is treating US men caught up in these situations differently than locals and / or Chinese people.

But the legal position is different Gabacho. It seems crazy that USA enforces its own laws in another land, but that is not normal. So a Chinese person only has to abide by the Colombian law. There may be situations where Chinese tourists are not breaking any law in Colombia whereas, for the same act, USAns are.

If you have been to Bogota, you have probably taken a tour with Woodman, who knows all the "Adult" things you can do in that town. Any one like that in Medellin?

[FlyGuyEddie007]

Is the attitude really necessary bro?

Didn't your mother ever teach you that if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all?

Maleducado.

Exactly!! What the other said was not wrong. There is a lot of danger (so I hear) in columbia. I cancelled 2 trips so far. I was hoping stuff would get better in 2024. I might still take a chance and come down this fall.

You just proved my point, thank you I post about 2 days every few years to help folks, I don't need to impress anyone here, and folks who do know me on this forum. They likely feel bad for you for making a fool of yourself right now. I feel sorry for you man, I really do.

On this board no good deed goes unpunished. I know you are just trying to help people out but some simply do not deserve your help because they would rather live in their own reality instead the the reality that actually exists in real life. You simply may have shattered their world ideas by putting out real and factual information developed from your personal experiences over the years. Individuals who do not understand they are dealing with other human beings and that other human factors come into play when it comes to prices should simply continue to pay what they choose to pay. Individuals who refuse to work on their mind (leaning Spanish) or their appearance (hit the gym and put on some decent clothes) should simply continue to pay what they need to pay to get what they want.

I get the same thing in the countries I post in primarily. No one wants to hear what the real pricing schemes are once you get off of the tourist economy. Then if they admit that those prices are possible they say the girls are ugly and drug addicted. It is a coping mechanism for them. When someone knows what possible, but they choose to do it in a different way, time needs to be spent in the mirror. Not attacking individuals trying to educate others. They are not you. They cannot do what you do. Keep up the good work! Then next time our paths cross I know the party is going to be epic!

Extremely rare that I get involved between 2 grown men but I believe that there may have been a misunderstanding between yall two. When YyzTravel posted about pricing he was stating his observations of what hes experienced but did not know the full context of your situation with the chica at the moment. AH2 you're a gentleman of leisure in the game for many moons now as I've read your reports from around the world thru the years so there was no need to defend yourself or feel personally slighted in his post. Because once you explained the context and intangibles of the situation with the chica as you did below, I'm pretty sure YyzTravel understood more of your interaction with that chica and that his post wasnt a personal attack on you but a price gauge to guys that's coming to Medellin and the square bears of the world when dealing with women. And from your reports thru the years you're far from a square bear.

Anyway I hope I helped ease the tension in the room. Been on this site for along time now and one thing I found disheartening was when two mongers that post quality reports verbally get into it. Its the number #1 reason why so many great monger gents that post quality knowledge and insight of their experience stop posting on the forum all together. And I'm tired of seeing that happening. So its my hope that yall squash this and continue to post yall knowledge on this forum, and perhaps hit each other on the back channel and meetup for a beer.

Peace to both you of gentlemen!!

I absolutely agree with you and did not get any impression whatsoever that you were trying to impress anyone nor win over people on this forum as none of us will really ever meet each other. You even stated you go for long periods without posts which proves you have no other agenda than to share your knowledge. I greatly appreciate your posts here and anything you share which we can take some nuggets from and implement.
