Posts: 108Upcoming first time Medellin trip
Hello,
I have a trip planned soon and I'm a man in my early 30's decent looking, decent spanish, wanted to know what would be the best option for me if I wanted to find the thick busty colombians I see online?
Better to hit the strip club, massage places or just go in the street bars and try to get a chat with them?
I have looked online and ngl every girl I've seen on those dating website was below 5/10, (the escort websites too) so where can I find the real baddies? I have read other people posts but it just seems its always a hit or miss situation. Can anybody show where to hang? The type of girls I really look like her https://twitter.com/honeyybeebby?lang=en..
Thanks!

The barriers with police monitoring the entrance / exit were a very good thing. I felt much safer inside them than outside. Now all the mongers who were complaining about them for some dumb reason can start complaining about the increased crime in those areas. I hope they leave them up in Provenza because I will be there this month.

Now you have the Jalisco cartel, and they have no such limits and will kill or kidnap anyone anywhere. I suspect it was one of their operatives who killed a man in the Hyatt in the Cancun area and scared the shit out of everyone. One hopes that the no killing boundaries in Mexico that the Sinaloa cartel established are restored, but it is up in the air right now. Apparently, Jalisco is getting stronger.
Still, you can see in part what causes crime is the attitude of law enforcement. We just saw in San Francisco pols address the homeless problem when Xi came to town. The single worst area I have ever seen in my life for muggings was in Rio de Janeiro Brazil in the early 2000's. Brazil got the World Cup and Olympics and are told they need to clean up their streets and apparently they did. All of a sudden the government started to care if tourists got mugged.
The ultimate test for me and women is if I had to hide my wallet or put it into a safe versus trusting the woman and leaving it out in the open. You would think leaving your wallet out is a sure sign you are going to get burned, but I only misjudged one woman in Colombia on this. What I found was this huge gap in trust. Some Colombian women were so trusting of me they fucked me without asking for a penny and there were others who would rob me blind in a second. Colombia was so binary.
If the police do not care if people get mugged, then Medellin, Colombia is in that early Rio 2000's period IMO. What is sad is that Venezuela used to be the country with property rights and prosperity and Colombia was the black sheep of the family. The roles reversed, and Colombia has come a long way, but IMO I just wonder if they are slipping back to their old ways. It sure seems like it. IMO Colombia really is at a crossroads right now.

Posts: 54"Lardon" is also a typo for "ladron" -- which makes a lot more sense in Spanish.

Posts: 4027If I remember correctly, the police station barriers went up during the tax reform riots just after the pandemic. Those crowds got pretty squirrely at times. Alpujarra and the surrounding area was heavily paint bombed. I'm glad the barriers are gone and I'm glad the riots died down. I reckon Fico will bring down the Poblado barriers as well in order to officially declare the end of the Pinturita era.

Last week I saw a lardon on a bike getting captured thanks to those barriers and the robbed guy yelling and chasing after him.
It was an improvement and made for safer and more relaxed mongering in the area.
Well, que pena, it was nice while it lasted, now back to the head on a swivel, especially after 6.

I wonder if they removed the barriers in Poblado as well.

Posts: 540Returned from Cucuta last week to Centro. Found the city had changed the lights or the light bulbs between the church and the museum. Much brighter now. But had found that they had also taken down the Christmas lights two weeks before Christmas because of vandals.
December 31 morning and afternoon the police barrier around Botero was taken down. That very night (after 8:00 pm) a new private company barrier was put up and extended, but will be taken down January 1 after the mayor gives his speech and the concert is over in Botero. Avoid this area because of the traffic. They have closed the street that curves around Botero Park. Barrier across the street at Hotel the'Grief and under the metro on the side of Hotel Nutribara near D1.
Congratulations to all you idiots that wanted the barrier removed. Now the thieves, homeless, and the push cart vendors with their loud speakers will be returning.
I called it and saw it less than 12 hours after The Wall came down. Not a minute was wasted. 6:15 pm and dark. I walked the side of the museum, turned left past the bars, then turned left to go to the church. POS thieves and drug dealers out in force. First night with the police gone. Sorry police cruising past and around every half hour (maybe). I sat on the side of the church. 6:45 pm something happens on the dark alleyway on the side of the church. I think it was a robbery that did not pan out. 10 minutes later a robbery. The guys hand the phone or wallet to the girl and she walks quickly in front of the church to get away. The victim chases the girl and the bad guys chase after the victim. She gets away. The 2 or 3 police trainees at the corner near the Mor Dis because do nothing. 5 minutes later the victim along with a motorcycle cop walk down the church alley. The rest of the night was pretty dead with no people. Normally the thieves return in an hour after the police leave and repeat but they went partying since it was New Years Eve. Just wait until all the POS losers learn The Wall has been taken down and the police have basically left the area.
Leaving within the week to another city for a week or so before I have to return to Medellin to catch my flight out of here. I stayed a few weeks too long and owe Immigration which will be paid by credit card. I can not remember. Is there any money I need to pay at the airport on my way out? I am leaving with no COP because I have no plans to return and time soon.

Today, there's no way I'd get past so many red flags. I look at it as using up one of my nine lives. There's so much talk about the bad of Medellin. And rightfully so. It's a pretty dangerous place. But sometimes it is overstated.

As for maximizing time, that all depends on where you are hunting. If you are looking in Lleras and surrounding bars, it's hard to beat the location. It's within walking distance of most everything around there. To me, that's the selling point of Hotel Dix. But if you're visiting casas and strip clubs primarily, you have better options at that price point.
You mention safety. I enjoy Lleras and the surroundings but that's one of the places you need to be very careful. Casas are safe. Strip clubs are safe but I've never been a big fan of Medellin's strip clubs. Way overpriced, in my opinion. The girls are pretty and nice enough. But every experience I've had in them has been far more business oriented than meeting girls at bars. But again, much safer.
