Thanks for additional info.
[QUOTE=ThadMax;1815144]Thanks. I felt it important to share the knowledge as it helped me (even though I had to sift through a lot of snark / pointless arguments on this board to get to the gold LOL) - I really would love if this board was more friendly / informative. And I want to do my best to help fellow rookies out as Medellin is a gem and a place that every man should experience at least once in my opinion.
As for Colombia Jake. I actually want to say that I found him to be very respectful and a very nice guy. I just wasn't convinced the service was for me. He offered $75 for a 'night tour' which would last approximately from 7:30-12 am -- the additional $25/ hour was justified as an additional to fee to ride on the back of his bike with him through the city. I'm sure it would've been a fun time. But because I did my homework prior to coming. I was quite certain that I had already identified the golden locations throughout the city.
All this being said. I think Colombian Jake's service is reasonable for those who don't want to have to worry about coordinating any logistics and just want to be led by an experienced veteran (which I'm sure he is).[/QUOTE]Now that he has an extra moto I had thought about the day tour. In the interests of accuracy, think that Member #4394 must have misunderstood the pricing. A night tour for $100 USD is around 330 k COP, not the 1000 k COP that he had stated. Huge difference.
Rip-offs and other thoughts.
[QUOTE=Lefeu;1815659]Aah, the voice of reason, simple, logical, and very Cartesian. Voila! Thanks for the wisdom, Mr Ricker.
Mind boggling how folks insist on telling other people how to enjoy the hobby.[/QUOTE]Amolatina.
LatinamericanLove.
A Foreign Affair (also owner of Anastasias or Elenàs Models), but this FA is active in Colombia and Medelíand too.
I just saw a documentary about FA. They charge for translate services. They charge for everything. The normal price for any service is a 500% above what it should be.
A guy, good income, clean, but typically fat that americans can be. Anyway, he had send $US9800 corresponding with a girl that reminded of Angelina Julie.
He went to Ukraine on a FA tour and they vivisted like 4-5 places and some got it together.
But this guy was heart broken. The fantatsy-girl, 99% sure she had just got payed for publish her photos on AFA, while other, pretending being her corresponded with him.
As a documentary team was along, they managed to put her forwar and meet this guy, who must have felt being robbed of his whole world of love, erotics. She promised to blaha blaha.
AFA owner could hardly keep himself from laughing when the reporter told the story and come up with some easy, stupid excuse adding " we are sorry".
$US 9800.
I have been around since 1999.1 time I had a serious girl that I could talk to, without any fees for this and that.
Colombiancupid, Latineuro; they are serious sites, the are liberal in that sense that you can see that a hot girl in lingerie age 22 are seeking men 45-70 yo, so that's the way to say "Hello, gringo, I'm a prepago".
Colombia; you can have a date with a good looking girl after just exchanging whatsapp, for a cofee, lunch. After an hour, everyday! Russia / Ukraine is 99% rip-off.
And so much nicer everything. I thought of Russia / Ukraine, but the culture is not for a person that want to become more open, enjoy good climate.
Latinas, except Argentinas from BS As, not in the north, they are like Colombianas, you can meet them and have fun!
I think I put together a list of rip-off sites in LA, I come back about that.
It's so easy to forget that 50 mil pesos is much for 73% of the population that is poor, and it's a fortune for the 23% that live in absolute poverty.
Keep that in mind. I have meet girls who's family said " jack. We adopt you", I was in a deep depression. Other girls family saw me as Papa Noel and going shopping on my expense was almost the fisrt, and last thing we did, and we had had contact for months, often shyping for hours daily!
Look at statistics; We have the upperhand, we can practically choose, if you are like me, a middle-aged normal / good-looking guy with a normal 1st world income. Choose among 8's-10's!
I have broken many of my own rules; but TAKE IT EASY.
Those girls I have given contact info. To lately, not for a a single penny to myself, but just helping them finding clients that pay more, and give better service, since there is no boss or caa charging them 30-60% of their earnings.
But those girls are also novia-material; they want to mix being prepago, and have a novio. Just keeping the best clients. Or come to Northern Europe where escorts are very expensive, since we don't have the vast influx of Eastern European girls, like Germany. A Paisa+9-10 can become $US-millionare working here for 6 years.
