Medellin Reports

[DavisLucJr]

You know you can not tell these baord members nothing. I dispelled that myth about 5 years ago. I went around Medellin taking pictures of locals with shorts, sneakers, and ballcaps on and posted them here. Boils down to people are observing their dress code from people they see working throughout the day instead of those at leisure.

Yup, nothing wrong with shorts in the proper environment. From personal experience, shorts are ok during the day in settings that are "shorts-friendly" (ie parks, poolside, beaches, a quick walk to the store to buy groceries, going over to a friend's/relative's house for an informal visit). But yeah, never at night, never for work, never for planned events (ie birthday parties or get-togethers). As for running shoes, while I don't personally wear the bright white ones, I find many many locals do wear them.
At the end of the day, for most of the people on here, you're sticking out long before they see what you're wearing.

The standard answer when entering this forum and asking basic questions is that you need read the fucking forum. This phrase can even be found in the forums list of abbreviations as found on the front page as RTFF. It is considered lazy and just bad form to come onto a a forum that you have not been a contributor to and just start asking questions. But because I am bored and a little delirious I am going to do two things. I am going to give you a pointer and then I an going to in rapid fire give short answers your questions. First the pointer: there is a "search thread" function at the beginning of the feed for this thread in the gray bands below "enter report" but to the right, where it says "search thread" there you can enter a topic and see if said term is in any reports in the thread.

- Which are the best places to stay? I mean, which zones of the city I should consider for my accommodation?

- Can I use Uber in Medellin?

- Can I buy a local SIM card?

- Which are the best places to stay? I mean, which zones of the city I should consider for my accommodation?
El Poblado, Laureles, Envigado, but you can stay just about anywhere if you have any street smarts - stick to those places if you do not. Always and everywhere at night walk in well lit crowded places so some guy does not jump off of the back of a motorcycle and rob you at gun point.
- Can I use Uber in Medellin?
Technically no but possible yes it is complicated, google Uber in Colombia and read about it - Cabify is a usable app for rides, Didi, EasyTaxi, are others
- Can I buy a local SIM card?
Yes
- Prices on prepagos are the same you get when you go in a brothel or you negotiate with a girl you meet on Tinder?
Prices vary everywhere but a tinder chick is definitely going to ask for more money
- Is it possible negotiate the prices I see on prepagos? I want to get the most of what I pay for.
Always try to negotiate everywhere

- Do all the girls usually do GFE, FK (deep) and OWO?
Some do, some do not - negotiate for these things beforehand - when she agrees to the things - keep the Whatsapp conversation handy to remind her (yes you need Whatsapp when in Colombia)

- I have seen many prepagos girls do incall, which is the additional cost for outcall? Should I go to their place or should I take them to my place?
Some do incall in their apartment and some do outcall - outcall costs more - some will not do outcall

- How much is usually Uber for a 20 minutes trip?
$5(USD)
- Which are the zones I should completely avoid or I should avoid just during the night?
It depends on you level of street smarts - but if you ask you cannot afford it so again - do not go into Centro at all at night and even in the neighborhoods I mentioned earlier on where to stay, El Poblado, Laureless, Envigado, when walking at night stay where there are people about and in well lit areas.

- Where I can find the most beautiful girls?
They can be found everywhere - there are even beautiful girls in Centro around Botero Plaza and the Iglesia De La Veracruz even down

- Is it a good practice pass by a girl on a street and speak to her? Which approach should I use in this case? Should I go straight to the point and offer her money?
There are places where street walking working girls can be found - do not go up to random women and offer them money - to know where to find these street walking women - RTFF

- Which are the best places for nightlife?
It used to be Parque Lleras/Provenza in El Poblado and La 70 in Laureles but the pandemic has been a kick in the nuts to Parque Lleras so maybe now La 70 is the best bet just to party - there are No prostitutes on La 70 but there used to be some at Parque Lleras - and probably still are

- I have seen the temperature can drop till 17see in September. Should I take some jeans with me, or can I stay in Bermuda all the time? Would I need a jumper? I want to travel light.
You are not from the USA for sure - a jumper? Yes take a sweater though you think 17c is cold, and although there is a debate raging in this thread about shorts, I am going to tell you to wear jeans all the time - shorts during the day on sunday is okay but Since most of the time Colombians are going about there jobs and such they will not be wearing shorts, and you will look like a tourist, there are free "gyms" in just about every park and definitely in every neighborhood in Medellin, with some type of kinetic workout equipment that resemble the machines you see in gyms - so if people will go to those in shorts also. but September has nothing to do with it gettin down to 17c - Medellin is the City of Eternal Spring and the temperature does not vary by month it is constant spring weather.

If the BM's only knew what you have done in Medellin they would be aghast, perplexed, and in disbelief. I don't consider myself an average BM, and couldn't envision partaking in your escapades, but can totally relate to the pleasure you derived from it. I too have done things the average BM wouldn't do either.

And I did not share and announce to ISG everything I did. ROFL!

Its not the sneakers, its being a foreigner that makes you a targe.

To be fair, it is not wearing white sneakers, but wearing sneakers that cost $200. I am not able to recognize them at a glance, but many people spot immediately the expensive models of Nike and the like. If I wear those sneakers in Centro of Medellin, night or day, I am a dick and frankly I deserve to be robbed, because that is what I deliberately aimed at.

FYI, I wear sneakers every time I go (I went, SIGH!) to Centro day time, because they are comfortable for walking hours, but they cost $40 and I keep them dusty. Still I am aware they are an element that make me spot above the average people crowding the streets.

Anyone with recent boots on ground know if ayenda botero aka hotel btero has not shutdown? It's the hotel behind nutibarra across from yakusas, recently whatsappd the # that sent me reservation nfo last time & service person replied noting Ayenda is no longer carrying hotel btero in their Ayenda ownership, so concerned the very reliable great ground0 hotel changed ownership or closed, I see booking dot com & other sites show data not known unlike last March, would be bummed finding it closed if arriving next few months so to prepare, info appreciated. Are most of the centro decent hotels closed besides the short time motels?

Planning trip for reopening, not sure if October being wettest month in Medellin means if street action will be getting rained out, I went my 1st time this March 12-19 before the 23rd when lockdown began, trip posted here July where I reported 32 chicas /7 d, also have been researching GDL mx, looks very promising with the strip clubs open, esteticas (casas), sw and on fire escort scene, not that higher than mde peso wise & chica quality seems high considered best in mx, learned quite bit but it has made me not consider Tijuana anymore, it's either Medellin or GDL from RTFF, even considering both before year ends.

Shout out to Tallman & the on ground reports, anyone with info on what to expect October weather, rain & knows if hotels are sparse right now, much appreciated, looking fwd to provide future reports like my last 2 , mde and Tijuana. -dcg69.

The Tall Man with his wing man riding shot gun drove by Hotel Botero 2 nights ago, I pulled over to see the doors shut tight with debris inside the lobby, no lights, no signs, nothing, nada. Closed with no indication that any kind of renovation is going on.

Don't worry about the rain, the chicas will step under an overhang for 10 to 20 minutes then as soon as it clears everything is back into action.

I was in centro Friday, Saturday and this evening tonight, picked me up a sweet paisa pussy and smashed it in my car up in las palmas, hehehehe as some time I like to feel like a teenager again and have car sex and it was light raining so again you just work around it.

I just returned to my apartment so just a few hours ago drove around the Vera, Raudal and the street walkers in San Diego. There is more pussy out and available than you can shake a can at, seriously this weekend was off the charts and it will only continue with more chicas.

Hotels and bars and restaurants are slowly reopening so you should be able to find somewhere to lay your head at night.

Just come down as there are many chicas who need some good gringo lovin not to forget our pesos too!

Thanks for the acknowledgement about my posts as sometimes I wonder if they just get lost with all the shit posts about the virus and political shit, these boards are all about hunting pussy.

Much love and respect to all!

The Tall Man.

You stand out, maybe you don't care, but you do. Easily identifiable to pan-handlers, pick-pockets, sharks, unsolicited "touts" and "guides" , locals who dislike foreigners.. etc. It screams "I'm here on vacation or a pension with money to burn" "I'm clueless about what's gong on around me'"

Of the posts I have seen about dudes getting held up and mugged and robbed here, I have never seen one of those posts say it was because I had on those damn shorts and sneakers and was not blending in. Will the people who got jacked because they had on shorts please speak up. Don't be shy.

[Surfer500]

I admit I was wrong. Congrats! I am surprised and we will see how long it stays open. Enjoy. We are all envious. Stay safe! Covid is for real.

I suspect the Country will stay open no matter what happens now that they have established a testing regime to basically prevent the import of the virus that occured prior to the shutdown. What might occur though as is being observed in Europe is that another lockdown could occur, but I don't know if they would go that far given the shambles the economy is in. They may just decide to grin and bear it, no different in some ways than what's occurring in parts of the USA and other Countries. It's such a depressing situation at times and hopefully an effective vaccine is around the corner. In the mean time, we can be entertained by Sjobs posts, he's probably drowned in 18 year old pussy and doesn't have the energy to post as of yet. And Slapshot has been missing in action as well but probably needs to leave within the next month. Too bad as we could have some dueling posts from the two mucky muck "high rollers" in town. I may be back in a few weeks, but my posts will be about what I find in the gutters of El Centro. The trifecta would be if Blakman was in town as well!

Last night, I wanted to go to la 70 last night to partake in the re-opened bar fun. But, I could not arrange a suitable date. My favorite blonde stunner from the coast has discovered working on the "web" now. She's retired from bars and dating. What a shame.

For a couple of weeks been receiving invitations from Luna Lunera, and a favorite chica, there to visited the re-opened club and " see the show" There were about 7-8 girls hanging out the I arrived. Some others showed up later. Attractively dressed, mostly late 20's to mid 30's. Pear-shaped single Moms, "stretching the pear" with tall shoes. Instantly recognized one I had sessioned with there about 3 years ago. She's certainly added some weight but still cute. I was bit sad to see she had not been able to move on from LL.

I'll bet the webcam girl comes back sooner than later.

Three years working a casa, that is a long tour of duty.

I've never been to LL. Maybe this week.

Fun report, thanks!

And yes Latin Americans incl the Caribbean dress way better than typical Americans. They may copy our celebrities and fashion trends, but they are more fit (we all know usa is the fattest country).

Actually the US is 12th in obesity:

Time for some pics of Chicas with their shorts off as this topic has engulfed the board.

They look much better on some people than others.

Last night, I wanted to go to la 70 last night to partake in the re-opened bar fun. But, I could not arrange a suitable date. My favorite blonde stunner from the coast has discovered working on the "web" now. She's retired from bars and dating. What a shame. I'm trying to meet her sister though.

For a couple of weeks been receiving invitations from Luna Lunera, and a favorite chica, there to visited the re-opened club and " see the show" So, I headed over there at about 10 p. They are open 24 hours, as they were in the apartments over the summer. The party has moved upstairs to an air conditioned room with tables, seats, a small disco ball, and YouTube videos. There is a stripper pole, but no show. There were about 7-8 girls hanging out the I arrived. Some others showed up later. Attractively dressed, mostly late 20's to mid 30's. Pear-shaped single Moms, "stretching the pear" with tall shoes. Instantly recognized one I had sessioned with there about 3 years ago. She's certainly added some weight but still cute. I was bit sad to see she had not been able to move on from LL. There were some young Colombian guys there and everyone was enjoying themselves in that group. 3 artificial blondes moved over to drink with me and I enjoyed their energy and attention. No one I would take to a room though. I wasn't planning for that anyway. A taller chica with a stunning body showed up. The girls knew I wanted a "show', they recruited this one for a "table dance" She had a classic porno girl body with well done augmented breasts. Really enjoyed her brief, but intent on pleasing me performance. The girls wandered a way when they could see I was about done for the night. I was invited to drink with another solo guy, the girls returned. So, after slow start it turned out to be a pretty fun night.

. I did a lot of things in Medellin which I would not recommend to the average BM here, and yes I enjoyed all of them.

If the BM's only knew what you have done in Medellin they would be aghast, perplexed, and in disbelief. I don't consider myself an average BM, and couldn't envision partaking in your escapades, but can totally relate to the pleasure you derived from it. I too have done things the average BM wouldn't do either.

Believing white sneakers make you a target is ridiculous. This one of the most idiotic statements I have ever heard. Only Trump has you beat. I see if you said do not wear expensive items then your dick ass would make sense LOL. Shorts are worn in the gyms, tennis courts, parks, riding bicycles. Places of fitness. So you could be coming from any of these events. Colombia is a very health conscious country. Theres many mongering spots other than sleezy botero, where people are as equal in status. United states fashion is one of the most mimicked in foreign countries since cable and social media. So colombians, especially young Colombians wear very similar attire, accessories. Again better you say do not wear flashy, expensive, or appearingly expensive items. But shorts, flip flops, white sneakers, target. How they say it on espn. Cmon!.

SpiderRider comments were right on the mark as far as I am concerned. During your tenure in Medellin you weren't fully exposed to the different parts of the City / Country and your thought that young Colombians can emulate US fashion is off as the majority of them can't afford the attire. And most don't have either the money to patronize a gym, play tennis, and ride bicycles. And in regards to flip flops, with the exception of tourists, I have never seen Colombians wearing them except at a pool.

Generally speaking, people do wear shorts in the hotter parts of the Country including the beach towns and not so much in Medellin.

I have noticed one thing though regarding shorts though, on Sundays and Holiday's, lot's of people will be wearing them, but it's not a function of status, but a function of being comfortable and relaxed. As on this day Colombians let their hair down.

Time for some pics of Chicas with their shorts off as this topic has engulfed the board.

Perhaps I can interest you in some plaid slacks and a white belt to complete your ensemble. Visit my online tienda thedappertravelinggringo.com to see our full line. I'm partial to blue denim bib overalls rolled up above the ankle, bamboo sandals, shirtless, with a crudely woven straw sombrero.

If you're a foreigner in shorts, esp. With white sneakers, (excuse me "athletic shoes") or flip-flops, you look like "a dick" period. You stand out, maybe you don't care, but you do. Easily identifiable to pan-handlers, pick-pockets, sharks, unsolicited "touts" and "guides" , locals who dislike foreigners.. etc. It screams "I'm here on vacation or a pension with money to burn" "I'm clueless about what's gong on around me'" "I have no support network". "I probably can't go to the police for much because I don't speak the language and they don't give shit about foreigners' problems anyway. "

Colombians can wear what ever they want, they are Colombians, they don't have to make an effort to 'fit-in'.. they're already in.

Peace.

This quote above ain't mine but it is true, sorry I'm with spider here and showing a little support LOL. I have been to many Latin American countries and it is true. You do stand out like an idiot-gringo when you wear bright stuff life shorts with white / bright colored sneakers LOL. Or wearing your American flag tees or apparels. There is a way to "blend-in" so to speak when you visit a foreign country, or some just do it for safety reason, respect, etc. Especially where there's a lot of pick pocket and poor people, you may find it useful. Of course they'll spot you, white or black, heck even a Puerto Rican look can be spotted. The point Spider is making is basically to try not to stand out too much and reduce the attention on you as much as possible.

I have read other board members criticizing foreigners wearing shorts or slacks trying to get into bars / clubs and they're pissed when turned away at the door in Dominican rep and other spots. I do agree with those clubs when they do that. Yes you are on vacation, but you can show a bit of decency and respect and dress up properly. Everyone has dress pants and dress shoes on, and you're trying to get in with flip flops and shorts, fck out of here. And yes Latin Americans incl the Caribbean dress way better than typical Americans. They may copy our celebrities and fashion trends, but they are more fit (we all know usa is the fattest country), they look better and dress better. Your money isn't a universal passport to get away with everything. Far from it. It buys pussy and some attention but that's it. They don't want your Spoiled American fat arse and your damn bright shorts LOL.
