Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2050890]You need to do more research.

1. It is impossible to avoid annoying time wasters in Colombia. Wasting time is the Colombian national pastime. Waitresses, cashiers, taxi drivers and anyone else you deal with will waste your time. If you have women come to your hotel, 30 minutes late to you is 2 hours early to them. It's not intentional. Nobody here is in a big hurry.

2. No recent reports on Luna Lunera indicate it would be fun, unless a few disinterested women sitting around ignoring you is your idea of a good time. The strip clubs with the best, wildest shows aren't in Colombia. Colombian strip clubs are just casas with overpriced drinks and music..[/QUOTE]I'm traveling abroad, I tell the Chicas that American culture is different and that we Americans leave after 30 minutes upon the agreed upon time if no show. I do this so they know clearly the cultural expectation of timeliness. If they are not responsive if they are late I leave onto other things.

If I know I don't have a lot of time, I explicitly tell the girl that I will only wait for her until X hour and if she hasn't arrived by then, I will not be available. I don't usually do this because I'm on vacation and I try not to get to worked up over time. But on the occasions I've done it, I'm batting 1000.

God bless them.

[QUOTE=MedellinGringo;2050496]The mansion is full of guys that will book a room for the 4 of July party next year when they are down there this 4th of July.

And they will gladly pay the 56 bucks just to support the place.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for your advice guys.

Regarding the Hotels first. You mentioned The Mansion and Casa Blanca. I can't find either of them for sure.

Casa Blanca resolves on Google Maps to a White House Hostel ([URL]https://goo.gl/maps/GZPSzA87J4G2[/URL]) -- a fucking Hostel? I am looking for privacy, not dormitory group sex So I guess there is a misunderstanding. And The Mansion I can only find two suspect places that might not have anything to do with what you're talking about.

Mansion resolves to a Mansion Club ([URL]https://goo.gl/maps/LvH52FdvRyo[/URL]) no Hotel. And even the club seems strange as the web site resolves to industrial goods. Then there is Medellin Mansion, way way off ([URL]https://goo.gl/maps/dq72UCkpHhr[/URL]).

I have tried searching, somehow the Forum lost the ability to search only a single thread. And there is so much chatter that reading every page is impossible. Any other pointers?

Correction: ability to search is not lost. But there are only chatter, no directions. Googling like crazy gets me mixed results. I only have a phone number and I am not even sure about that, because there is another one also found. Carrera 43 x Calle 2 S-50, +57 4 3520217 and even that cannot be found on Google maps propertly. Cr 43A, B, C, then Calle 2 doesn't exist between Calle 1b and Calle 3.

Oh, and regarding danger in el Centro, is it worse than Centro Rio de J.?

3. Having at least 2 girls in your bed every night isn't going to happen. It might happen once. Then the next morning, after you realize how much was stolen, plus how much of a mini-bar bill they ran up, you will realize how dumb that was. This is especially true if you're picking up women in Centro.

4. You should be in a place where someone will slap you every time you are about to make a serious mistake.

If you want what you are used to in Rio, go to Rio. Medellin is not Rio.

You have 3 nights and you're planning 3 weeks worth of activities. Strip clubs, casas, streetwalkers and prepagos. Cut your list in half and maybe you can have a good time. Prepagos, if they do show, they'll be late, and they won't come to Centro. They became prepagos to get out of Centro. Streetwalkers come with their own set of issues, and you're liable to end up with one who has some unexpected equipment. Plus Centro is a really good place to have really bad experiences, if you don't know what you are doing.[/QUOTE]Spot on with your comments! The most poignant is that Colombian strip clubs are just casas with overpriced drinks and music. My last visit in April and May of this year I visited the best 2 or 3 strip clubs and was terribly disappointed, lets face it Colombia does a lot very good but strip clubs is a total waste of time and pesos.

TTM.

How bizarre. So before my last trip at the end of April I got on Colombian Cupid and didn't really like the experience. Most women immediately asked if I wanted a serious relationship. Only one or two cuties. Only one prepago, really. I'm a reasonable man but I'm not wasting my time having a relationship with some random Colombian woman in her 30's who has kids and wants me to support her.

So I'm going to be in Medellin next week and decided to take people's advice and check out Latin American Cupid. It's the same software running the site with the same interface. I imagine it's exactly the same company. The only difference this time is I went straight for the platinum instead of gold membership. I did so by mistake. I'm not sure if going Platinum is more helpful? Does it say I have big pockets? I am getting much better results. I got a few prepagos to give me their numbers and a couple of cuties who look like they have a regular job. Still, 9/10 women who try to match with me are either not Colombian or not my type. Nonetheless, it's a constant stream of interest and I think Platinum even means they can contact me first without paying.

So why is Latin American Cupid better populated? Does it get more marketing in Colombia? I highly recommend it if you want have some numbers ahead of time and speak Spanish.

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2051010]I think Platinum even means they can contact me first without paying.

So why is Latin American Cupid better populated?[/QUOTE]The only difference with platinum is that you can do video chat (not sure why you would need that) and your profile is pasted at the top of the page when you are connected or when you show interest to someone. With any level of membership the girls can contact you first. They always try to make you choose the platinum option as default the same way they used to make recurring payment by default. The reason I use LAC versus single country cupids is because I travel all over and do not just want my pot to contain chicks from just one country. I even get a lot of chicks in the US from LAC.

[QUOTE=UltraHappy;2050887]You clearly misunderstood my post. My post was about those who are already staying at the hotel as guests, that is, those who can already attend the party for no extra fee as pointed out below.

The fee for non-hotel guests is 190 k which is totally fair and reasonable.

My post was merely pointing out the absurdity of why a hotel guest who can already attend the party for free would pay $56 solely for some food and drinks (especially if the hotel guest for example didn't drink) - and especially when such hotel guest can order in food directly to the hotel.

So, relax, calm down, no need to get all bent out of shape. All is right and wonderful in the world.[/QUOTE]MY Bad UH. I did misunderstand. I was simply "defending the Mansion" but probably got a little to aggressive about it!! I stayed at the Mansion my first 2 trips to the MDE & could not have had a better time. I would not have enjoyed MDE / Colombia near as much had it not been for the Mansion. Ergo, I was defending it. The 4th of July party was the highlight of my first trip & it was 150 k COP last year. Yeah, I didn't agree with it & didn't even know I could have attended for free, but I paid it & ate and drank without worrying about it.

That being said, I feel no further need to stay there on my next visit & will rent an AirBnb in Lleras.

However, I see way to many people just flat out bashing the Mansion. My thoughts are, if you don't like the Mansion, don't stay there & leave them, their guests, the chicas & their party cover charges alone. It's that simple.

I hate the casas because I think they are nasty & I doubt the linens are changed out after every session. I stated as much in my trip reports. But I don't jump into every post & bash them the way some people do about the Mansion. The Mansion is a perfect fit for some every time they go. There were guys that were there both times I went. They refuse to leave. It was a perfect fit for me on my first 2 visits to the MDE from researching these boards. I doubt I'll ever go back but who knows.

Any way, no offense intended & apologies extended if I did offend you.

Peace & safe Mongering UH!

Again I'm referring to the el Centro clubs, and not the more plastic, high end clubs.

No need to buy lots of overpriced drinks, one is fine, and one for your chosen muchacha as well, if one is chosen.

As we all know, in a casa, it's a presentation, a quick choice, and off you go.

The strip club gives you a chance to chat and bond and feel the chemistry.

I enjoy the process much more and have had great success.

I disagree that the Colombian strip club "is a total waste of time and pesos".

I believe just the opposite actually.

Depends on your ability or desire to chit chat and bond I guess.

If you just want to quickly pick a girl and go bang, I guess the club would be a waste.

Not for me though.

The US strip clubs are actually the wastes.

Designed to grab your bucks, and leave you unfulfilled.

[/QUOTE]I agree. I had a good time there as well, and I'm looking forward to staying there again for my next upcoming trip to Colombia. The last time I visited though was during an off-time of the year, and there weren't that many chicas visiting Charlie's unfortunately. It was great though for meeting like-minded travelers who I could hook up with for our hunting forays into the city during the days. I'm sure holiday weekends (American holidays that is) are much better attended there but you just have to book fairly early to be assured a room on those weekends (like 3 months in advance sometimes).

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2050990]Spot on with your comments! The most poignant is that Colombian strip clubs are just casas with overpriced drinks and music.[/QUOTE]Which strip clubs are these? Because the ones that I go to a pint of liquor is only $10, versus back in the States where one drink is going to cost you more than that.

When I was in Bogota in April I distinctly remember paying 5K ($1.65) for a beer in Troya. Then I went upstairs and fucked a chick for 60K. I am not understanding where the ripoff is.
