Scopolamine & Bello girls = economical suicide!

Of course I have had my share of violence, con artists-girls, etc since I have lived in Latin America for a total of 3 years since 2005.
But the frequency have been low. Often drunk, often taking taxis night time, more or less every day when I have had my active periods, maybe a total of 1000 days living in the major cities in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Colombia. 3 times I have lost money in Latin America, one time it was scary but not expensive, one time it was just a con artist fooling a typical drunk gringo.
It seems girls are much more hit by robbery, almost all I know have been robbed, although it has been a clich by the girls to say that on Internet, to have an excuse to ask for money, but some must have been serious, considering social circumstances.
If the mayority have told the truth, it's means that the majority of females are being robbed of their cell phones and handbags intermittently.
Latin America have higher cime and murder rates than Africa!
As a Medellin-"gringo" I would be careful. There are for example an App that informs you all about the taxi you are calling for; name, plates, GPS-view of where the taxi are etc. Maybe some ISGs reading this here have it and can share the info, I forgot the details.
In the cellphones there are direct number to the police etc. I have been bad checking this / it never happens to me, I fix it tomorrow /. Police maybe really be helpful, even you think not. They helped me on La 70 one time, picking up the scumbag travestis that stole my cellphone. The police on light and terrain going motorcycles gives them capacity to follow the bad guys almost everywhere!
It's part of the search. Looking for and meeting hot girls are like lottery, you will meet bad girls and you will meet good girls and learn to how to keep them!
I have met beautiful girls that have been serious, not so beautiful ones that have been con artists. It's part of their nature. Some girls just are like that, rationality is very primitive, since they live a very primitive life.
The worst method is to bring home girls from "Bello". A paisa friend, now living in Miami told me, what I should had understood by now about robbery-risks. Bringing them home to my apartment in Laureles was = "economical suicide attempt", according to him.
If not robbed by a Scopolamine-girl, they will make the experience into a nightmare insted of the Dream-sex you thoguht you was going to have; twice the girls have started to demanding more money during the act it self, one time while performing BBBJ, LOL.
How to just invite girls that you know of? Just must have a network, and that is hard to create since the average gringo stay like 1-2-3 weeks and that is to little time to do it yourself.
Con artists have assumed or just acted like I was a total newbie, trying stupid tricks, sometimes it works since it comes as a total surprise. The phrase "es costumbre en Colombia", "it's comstume in Colombia" is often used to justify the behaviour, a behavoiur that has rightlously given Colombia it's bad reputation this country so well deserves. Was I to critical now? Yes. And no. For men seeking love and romance, Colombia is the perfect place to loose $$$ and what was still left of your selfconfidence! Every year, I estamte that at least 1000 guys have a breakdown after a trip to Colombia with Amolatina and such organized almost crminal enterprise that so freqently advertize on the internet and that we read little about here on ISG, but there must be many, whos experiences we really need to take part of, to get the full picture about Gringos & Colombianas.
Stefany-famous from the Mansion- finally understood that we could be friends and stopped trying to stealing my money. She understood that it would pay of much better having a horney and generous gringo friend. A logic that seems obvious, but are rarely encountered among the chicks we socialize, sexualize with. But her case shows that it is possible to make a breakthrough. She was very relieved when she could leave that fake "soy tu novia"-blaha acting and got that it was OK just to hang out and have sex now and then.
When considering risks and statistics, how high is the percentage per day of being robbed in some way in Medellin?
Of the 1000 murders in Medellin 2012,4 was committed in Laureles, 0 in Poblado! And Laureles with all it's parts are a huge area. So it's a low risk, if you are just being in the right place, even at night.
The Scopolamine factor is a real threat though, and very scary! And there seems to be little to do once you have been exposed to it. You can escape it seems, but most times you fall into another world where you do everything that the robber wants, giving codes to ATM etc, and the next day you can't remember anything and therefore have a lot smaller chance of getting money from your ensurance!
I have always lived in Medellin long periods, like 2-6 months thus the Mansion is not bearable economically speaking, but it can be cheaper since you take a low risk. Also New Life or even Louthron is economical, compared to be stripped of everything!
Considering this, I must be better helping my fellows on ISG with contacts, even if I have done a lot, I can always improve.
There are now a very cute girl, Johana, that I met on CC. She says on Skype; "I clean your apartment for food and I don't want suggestions", hmm Is she for real? She is Very Pretty! I thoguht her to be honest before entering this discussion, but now I think twice. It's so easy commiting the same mistake over and over again. You always hope it will be a pleasant meeting and many times it is so really, especially in Medellin! But my friend, who is "operadora del edificio", told me that she and a friend had a business idea home maid service; but had to let i t go since potential clients thought the risk of being robbed was too high, and the possibility of the police catching a person is very small since a cedula give to weak informaion about where a person lives, works , have done etc. This situation is a factor that holds back a lot of social and economical activity.
If I would be in Medellin now, I would make my stupid mistakes over and over again, but doesn't mean I can give good advices to other ISGs.
Go to New Life. There you ill find talent at a low price. Find a few favorites. You meet a girl that is sexy and a good lover, then invite her to your apartment / hotel. It should have a fair probability to work. Much better option than Facebook if you ask me!
One period, when Energy was filled with almost model girls, as hot as they can be for those todays 130 k COP, I had 2 girls suggesting the we should become novios! Encounraged by this luck, I even asked the very hottest one at Energy and the second time we met, she opend up a lot. But this was my first time in Medellin and I thought it was to good to be true, but it can happen to a lot of many ISGs since I'm average in both age and looks, but tall, white, blue eyed men are a still a rare comodity in Medellin. Hence, I did not take my chance with not one of these 3 girls, which I have always regretted, but it was a short , important chapter that has given me enormous apetite to travel and re-travel to Medellin!
It feels like a lottery. You can win and you do, and you can loose, and you do, many things will happen, but sure of that!
But not to talk to bad about the "barrio" girls. I have a met a MILF selling candy in the street. She came home to me whenever I wanted for 50-80 pesos, bareback sex! She lives almost in the frontline in Comuna 13 so she is used to a ruff lifestyle, but she is perfectly calm, no attempt ever to rob me or steal anything. A lot is about the personality.
Use cash. Bring your creditcard / s but have not more than US $ or 500-1000 available. Then transfer daily via your Internetbank. That way the amount you can be tricked of is very limited if a girl see your pin and steal your card.
Then culture is very different compared to anglo-saxon WASP societies. Acting on IMPULSE is normal here, especially towards gringos, it's socially accepted. They say and do things, not only the young girls, but many others, like they never would dare to a colombian! But, maybe a paradox, taxidrivers and restaurant personell are almost 100% serious, and that is culture quality, since it with them the major part of the daily economical transfers are done!
But New Life, Energy, the clubs, it gerts boring. I want to attack in broad daylight! I would do it just for the surprise effect. In the everyday life, and therein, as the bard would tell us lies the rub; it's free and it can work, and you can do it everywhere, without limits! Surprise-girls give such much added value since such sex is what we dream of all the time, but maybe can encounter one-two times in a lifetime, while going to New Life, The Mansion, that we all can do as long as we have $US 1000 extra to spend a week.
Daytime-Fishing is the highest form of Hedeonistic rationality, but the most risky one security-wise, if you bring the girls to your home and not to a lovemotel, but many are more keen to go to a motel, since it's more safe.
