[QUOTE=Goga Fung]Can somebody explain what the hell is "Niñeto/Niñato dinero"?

From what I saw yesterday, a girl comes to a gringo and asks for "Niñeto/Niñato dinero". And he just gives her some money. Like 20K+ peso.

It looks like this country is going to be ruined. Now the girls do not have to do shit, only ask gringos for moneys. Just the same as in the back "good ol USA".[/QUOTE]While I have never been to Colombia, it looks/sounds like little boy/girl money, or money for one's little one. Yes, I had that happen in the DR. I looked indignant and said, in Spanish, that I am not a tourist. Ask one of the tourists. Even the little one had his hand out. Mercy.

I'am thinking about getting an apartment with my girlfriend(Normal girl(non-pro). P. T. Student. Works p. T. A keeper) we've been dating for about 1 year now. Has anyone had experience with"Common Law Marriage" in Colombia? The pros and cons? I've read the "Law 54 of 1990" but just want to hear some real experiences. If you do not live together full time during the year,how this effects the timelines etc?

Thanks,

Enjoy!

Guys

I am travelling to cartagena in 2 weeks.

Does anyone recommend any guide that can help me finding good girls?

I remember I use to call a guy JULIO in medellin, he use to find me good girls when travelling to paisas region.

Any help is appreciated.

Please send me a PM with contact info.

I don’t get this mentality. I am sitting her in Barranquilla. I am going back and forth texting this non-pro who I hit yesterday. She decides to wake up and send me a text asking if I could loan her US$50 because her daughter needs books for school. I told her no. Then she asks me not to put the pictures I took of her on the internet. I’m like why would I do that, they are private. So she says that she is going to leave the house to see if someone can loan her the money. I told her in that case I am going to leave Barranquilla since I won’t be able to see her.

Now this is the part where I always get tripped up. She said that she wants to be my girlfriend but this implies that she has a daughter who I will have to help her with financially. I tell her but your daughter has a father and I also have a daughter whom I have to help. She says she needs a man that will help her and asks if I am going to help her. So I tell her that I want a girlfriend, not a puta.

[QUOTE=Tyrone J]Hello, fellow mongering community,

etc etc etc [/QUOTE]Err, why do I care?

Here in Bogota, it is NOT the norm for a boyfriend to help out his girlfriend financially. That's a whole nother level of relationship. Generally the MUTUAL financial support doesn't kick in unless the two people in question are cohabitating. You got a real bad egg there.

Would it be better to just giver her 100 mil COP after each time you hit it and keepin' it on that level? So much less complicated than dealin' with a Colombiana novia.

I travel a lot for the purpose of mongering in latin countries but have not been to Columbia. I can not decide which city to go to, I am leaning towards Bogota but am open to suggestions or driving points to push me to another city. ANYHOW. I Stumbled across a site called TLC tours that charges 995 for this 4 day thing that has 300 plus women to meet about 50 guys every 6 months or so in Cali. Money is not that big of an issue here, but My question to you guys is this. P4P is obviously avail, but are decent girls that like or desire to be with gringos around? I do like to P4P but then during the day or night at a bar I would like to think I could go out and meet a decent girl and providing we hit it off I wouldn't be asked for money in order to spend the night with her. This tour claims to be decent girls looking for marriage, and since I am 28 and not bad looking I am considering attempting to start to look and if it happens it does, just not with a hooker. Anyhow. Is this tour BS and are the girls here that are seriously interested in guys from USA hard to find? OR is the use of this tour make life easy for meeting these girls? I went to the Philapeans and you could find both anywhere there. Girls that would accept money for what ever your heart desired down to girls that would love to meet a nice man for marriage. I hold a light to the Philiapeans and tend to think its the only country with both kinds of girls readily avail with no gray area. YOu want a hooker. Go to a strip club or free lancer bar or massage parlor. You want to meet a girl, just go out on the town and they are doing anything just to say Hi to you! Fill me in guys. I'm curions. Sorry for so much details in one post. But I have to know and I need the help!

The father doesn't normally support their children because they are POOR. To a certain extent, us gringos take advantage of this. Having a GF in latin society implies that you help them out financially. What you said was COLD! If you don't want the drama, get a puta as you put it.

* Everything is surreal. Most GFE's you meet in latin america have kids or need money. A few want to marry a nice guy and have kids but that usually translates into money anyway.

If you aren't willing to "pull caballo" as meatloaf would say then just pay by the hour. If you still want GFE then expect to pay more and budget accordingly.

Once you figure out your budget you will know when the *cut off point is for your date. Enjoy the memories.

I don't mean to sound obnoxious and of course there are exceptions. However if you stick to this philosophy you will enjoy your time in SA alot more.

At some point some of us become "companion mongers"...willing to pay for a girl just to hang around. I get it trust me but it's too depressing.

Have monger friends and just fuck pfp is my advice.

As HighO said, poor girls really need support, if you really love the girl 50k is not a reason to act like a cheap bastard. You wanted to play that game have to deal with it or forget about it, BFs are gone and they are on their own, You may know it, so free sex is out of the menu most of the time in this loving continent. At least this girl ask for her kids, some others ask for plastic surgery and shopping tours to the most expensive malls.

You just have to do your research. Most guys think with a Dingle only, so a poor barrio chica gets them motoring. We all have been lured in by this and it ends up costing a lot more then just paying by the hour, but you go after a more educated women, she usually does not need your help. Last time I paid for more then food and drink, which I would need anyway, was maybe 5 years ago. I still buy them little gifts, but cell phones, expensive clothes, plastic surgery, give me a break, you are only proliferating the problem.

I'm a foreigner, living in Medellin with a Colombian wife on a (second) visa that is valid for two years. That visa is glued on one of the pages in my passport.

My passport expires at the end of this year while my visa will expire a couple of months after that. That means that when I renew my passport, the old one will be destroyed with the visa(s) in it.

One of you recognize this situation and what was the sequel to that?

Me going to the DAS might give an answer, but before going there I'd like to have some knowledge.

around october i called myself trying to deal with a woman about 40 years old who had a nice ass apartment in the north of bogota. she did not have a job. i think her ex-husband was still paying for the place. she was just itching to get married again. why? imho because she was a sorry, lazy broad who wanted someone to take care of her. which is probably why her husband left her in the first place. i told her that it makes more sense to meet someone then decide you want to marry that person. not to decide you want to get married and afterwards find a person that is willing to do it with you.

long story short, i took her, her mom, and her son (who is 20 years old in college studying architecture and has a son as well) to eat sunday dinner. when their driver friend was dropping me at my hotel she asked me for money for her son to get some copies he needed for school. i told her i didn't have money for that. she said, "no problem. we will just go to the atm again. " she told her friend, without approval or acknowledgement from me, to stop at the atm that was near my hotel. i got out of the car and asked how much the copies were going to cost. she told me to get 100,000 pesos. i damn near cursed her out. i had just spent 75,000 pesos feeding her family and she wanted me to just hand them 100,000 more pesos. not the kid. i could see where this was headed so i decided to chalk it up and take the loss. i proceeded to walk the block to my hotel without looking back. now if you are going to tell me this type of thing is normal then i have a 1968 black and white floor model tv to sell you.

i think it is more an issue of home training. whenever i came to cali i would stay at my ex-girlfriend's house. she is now 19 years old. her parents do not have money. her dad is a concrete worker and her mom sews at home. they would always insist i stay at their house and not pay for a hotel when i was dating their daughter. her mom always made 3 meals/day and they would never think of accepting money from me. i went by there last night as a matter of fact. they have gotten a new decorative sofa that is smaller than the old casual one was. so i jokingly asked her mom where was i supposed to sleep now.

when i returned from there last night i talked to an old flame who was going to come by so we could go out about 11:30pm. she ended up not being able to make it; i forget the reason she told me. then this morning she called and apologized that she could not make it. she said the real reason was that she didn't have any money in her purse but she thought she would be able to scrape enough up to come see me. she said she was sorry but she was ashamed to tell me she didn't have any money. i told her that i understood but she did not need any money because i would have paid for the taxi. she repeated that she was really ashamed to tell me. then she invited me to come to her house for lunch.

now, i don't mind paying to take people out, buying them unsolicited gifts, paying for buses and taxis and things of that sort. but to give out cash, i'm just not seeing it. if i give them milk money on monday how are they going to get it for the next six days? (hint: from me again!) the most i am accustomed to a non-pro asking for is a souvenir from some place. now if it was someone i was very close to like my ex here in cali; if something happened and she needed money for school then gladly i would see what i could do. but to hand out money because a girl who i am trying to get to know had a kid with a deadbeat dad i will never do. if we are already fucking then i bring up the hooker line. if not, then i just distance myself from them. i refuse to let them straddle the fence. either you are gf or you are p4p. can't be both.

by the way, the one in barranquilla who asked me for money the other day is back on the train. all it took for me was to stop answering her calls and texts for a couple of days. she has apologized for asking me for money and says that she really likes me and she misses me and wants to be with me. i'm telling you man, you have to nip that shit in the bud. don't let it linger. you have to make it so there will be no doubt in their mind that you will not be the one to play those games with them. remember, there are too many more of them the same place that you got that one from. be able to discern who wants you from who wants your money.
