Medellin Reports

[LifeIsABeach]

I am to tag along with some buddies to go the Buenos Aires area bars and discos. I know its dangerous and wanted to know I can tag along in a group. Or can someone give me some information on the area?

Go to the Argentina forum. There is plenty of information there. Argentina is not dangerous. Word of advice. Stay away from strip bars. Total con and you'll be stripped of all your money.

A Texan cowboy dressing cowboy boots and cowboy hat looks wonderful in a bar of Austin and will get lots of positive attention by Austin girls there, but if he dares to go strolling adorned like that around streets of El Prado, as well as in Parque LLeras, the only word that will come to the mind of people seeing him will be "CARNIVAL??"

Imagine a boy dressed for the gay parade in Paris (France, not Texas) and teletransport him to Des Moines Main St. (there must be a "Main St. " also in Des Moines). Then you get the picture of people staring at him.

The intention of guys telling someone to not dress in such an eccentric way is totally positively oriented to avoid such a weird effect.

Thank you for the advise! I was thinking the hat might be a bit much. In Mexico and Guatemala it is acceptable and common.

My only nice footwear I have are my boots. Chicks usually dig them, they comment on it so hope it's the same in Col. Footwear is important to girls. Had more than one girls tell me the look at the foot wear as much as say the face.

Great form, big help. 12 days and counting.

IDK about you guys but I do think that you are all exaggerating in telling someone to dress in a specific way or otherwise you will be socially "outcast".

In some Latin countries (Peru, Costa Rica etc.) and in the Caribbean there's casinos where you can bet on US baseball, basketball, football games etc. But I never found that in Colombia. Also, I like to play video blackjack, but never found that in Colombia.
But in el centro Medellin there a whole bunch of small casinos, mostly only doing the slot thing.

There are a couple of casinos in Bocagrande, Cartagena. They look big seen from outside, but I never went inside. See below why.

And to Mr. Enternational casinos are boring when you lose; when you win money the world is a wonderful place.

The latter happens on a minority of cases, and never in the long term. It's pure math.

Therefore, the only way to be not bored over a time extent lasting at least one hour is to STAY AWAY from casinos. (I know I cannot convince those who spend hours there, instead).

I've been to el centro Medellin a numerous amount of times and I can tell you, there's a lot of more casinos there than the ones my good friend World Travel 69 has listed. Most are smallish and only offer slots and not much more. And to Mr. Enternational casinos are boring when you lose; when you win money the world is a wonderful place.

IDK about you guys but I do think that you are all exaggerating in telling someone to dress in a specific way or otherwise you will be socially "outcast". I may not go the whole NFL Jersey with shorts and sandals route, but I don't dress like the average Colombian (I usually wear skinny denim jeans, a regular t-shirt, pair of Jordan's and usually with a snap back or fitting cap.) I certainly have not had problems with getting pussy non-pro or pro.

Excellent advice, dressing nice is rule number one. It goes a long way with projecting yourself in a positive way. Sneakers and shorts doesn't cut it with Colombian women whether working girls or not. I have seen on more then one occasion a Colombian working woman turn down a potential customer because he looked like a clown.

You want to dress classy in MDE or your really going to stand out as a tourist. Don't wear shorts either, unless your working out. I always recommend to go to google maps, and street view. And dress as the locals do.

But seriously don't wear shorts, or sandals. My local friends there laugh about how shitty tourists look all the time.

I don't think I saw many hats, especially cowboy hats.

It's great town though, make sure to venture out and go to places like Trilogia Live Bar or something.

Interestingly on google maps it shows Casino San Fernando at this location, but it may be there as well.

Yes, and they're a ***** to find on google maps. Mostly Google's database doesn't list all the businesses in Medellin.

Thanks World Travel 69!

I'm going to be in Medellin for a week in November, followed by five days in Cartagena. How is the casino scene in Medellin? Are they low key and boring?

The reason I ask is I'm starting to wonder if I should do a week in Cartagena and just five days in Medellin. From everything I've read, after doing the tourist thing Medellin can be very boring during the day.

[Knowledge]

Some people prefer loud music and hookers in the casino. You won't find much of either in Medellin casinos.

Did you try going upstairs? The casino downtown that I always go eat in has gaming tables upstairs before you get to the restaurant. What does it take for a casino to not be boring? All of them are boring to me.

[LVMonger]

Ladies.

We all know about the Casas and the pros and where to find them. This report is not about those venues, instead I look for the nonpros and your avarage teen in the street from the barrios.

Thanks for sharing your alternate approach to mongering BrasilSoccer, I'm sure that you get great pleasure from all aspects of "The Hunt" rather than just laying your money down for a short time event.

Over the years, I got so bored with brothels and clubs that I began to learn the village life in places like the Philippines. In time I got brave and would sometimes approach college girls (18+, of course).

Even when they were walking in the mall with their Aunts or Mothers. I received some hateful looks from the Aunties but also came away with cp #'s at times. That's not so bad for a guy in his 50's, right?

As in your case, sometimes you must play the seduction game for a while but. What is the hurry? When we final get the goal, it's a much better experience than what a professional can provide. That's my experience anyway.

I'll visit Medellin soon and I hope I can have some success there with "regular" girls.

Best regards.

Only on Halloween or any other occasion that they want to look like a plum fool. Google fotos Medellin Centro and see what you come up with.

I will also answer 2 of your questions as other member did. I like his thought of numbering them.

#3 yes if you are out at night, you will definitely be asked if you want to make a purchase. I been there 3 times and it's all over the place.

#4 yes I agree leave the cowboy hat at home.

If it's your first time I guess Medellin hotel or whatever it's called is good, but I don't speak espanol and I just rented a nice condo off Airbnb or whatever it's called. I prefer a condo because I like to make my Martini through out the day and I didn't have a doorman. I party hard but am street smart and know how to maneuver around. But I don't recommend this if your not sure of scams and doping.

Good Luck with your trip and you can always pm me.

Girls that advertise as "Pre Pagos," want the money before services rendered?

Pargue Lleras sounds like a fun place to hang.

Not mentioned at all hear, maybe forum rules. But I hear you will be approached a lot for 420 / skiing supplies on the street. True?

I usually wear a western sombrero. Do many guys wear cowboy hats in MDE as they do throughout Mex. & Guat? Might leave it at home as I don't want to be the 6'2" we do that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Or could I be noticed in a good way?

Advantages to changing currency $1000. Usd over using ATM daily? I got a Schwab card.

Any guys use Mileroticos to call in girls or get taxi to girls incall?

Hotel Medellin Plaza. Casa Blanca. Mansion all one and the same?

Thanks, I've searched the shit out of this forum and can't find these answers. Couple weeks and I'm there!
