Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Allaboutter;2267401]Hi,

I have read a lot about the fb approach and have created a profile recently. I started sending friend requests and also messages but the response rate is very very low. I should have contacted at least 50 or so. Am I missing something? What are some tips that experts can share here for success? Do you just send friend request or message or both? Also I keep getting "please confirm you know this person before sending friend request". Does fb vlock us if we send a lot of requests to unknown persons? Thanks any insights are much appreciated.[/QUOTE]Just confirm you know the person if Facebook asks.

The response rate is very low because they see you as a waste of time. You probably have a basically blank profile, sending out friend requests and immediate messages. They get friend requests from blank profiles all the time.

Add to your profile. Throw in some pictures, share some memes, preferably some in Spanish. Make it interesting, make it real. Make some connections to Medellin Facebook groups or businesses. You want your profile to indicate a person who is serious about coming to Medellin, instead of a person who is just going to ask "me mandas fotos desnudas por favor?

When will you be in Medellin? If your trip is more than 2 weeks away, don't bother sending messages, just work on filling up your page and sending friend requests. Save the messages until you're about ready to leave. Keep your messages short and polite. A little bit of flirting is fine, but sending something like "Hi. I want to fuck you. How much do you charge" isn't going to be extremely successful.

[QUOTE=MstrNinja;2267127]Day 1.

I'm an idiot on so many levels. I arrive in Medellin, and try to setup my cell phone. Turns out I did not buy the international model, as intended. Then I took the bus to Hotel Botero. $3 right to my hotel. Just in time to grab a quick shower, and a below average street walker before the sun sets on Centro. Then it set, and I saw children and young women. What was I afraid of? It's 6:30 pm. Well, I got promptly robbed at knife point.

Then, because I'm an idiot, I didn't hand it over. I said in English, "Okay, I'll give you the money. " I started to reach for it when one of them reached in my pocket and grabbed a 4 year old iphone. On instinct I grabbed his wrist, and firmly growled, "I'll give you. The money. " There was a tense moment, then they took off empty handed. I only have a couple hundred words of Spanish, and they had even fewer English.

So dumb. I could have been killed. Afterwords a man told me my clothes were too nice for this neighborhood. I left my fancy watch and jewelry at home, but never thought about my clothes. The next day I bought a used phone with a cracked screen for $30 to use for my stay. Should be good for handing over to knife wielding maniacs too.[/QUOTE]Dumb yes but your ok. Where exactly did this happen? How did it go down? Time of day? We can all learn from this.

Yes dress down, sometime I wear what I consider rags with a pair of old beat up and dirty tennis shoes, I am able to relax and enjoy the street pussy.

Make sure they can see your face in your profile pic, keep your initial message short and straight to the point, that you're visiting Colombia and would love to meet. 50 is nothing, I've messaged hundreds. Also give them time to respond, I've had some reply after a year!

[QUOTE] Do you just send friend request or message or both? [/QUOTE]Both, unless they block one or the other.

[QUOTE]Also I keep getting "please confirm you know this person before sending friend request". Does fb vlock us if we send a lot of requests to unknown persons? Thanks any insights are much appreciated.[/QUOTE]FB will absolutely start to temporarily block your messages if you send out too many in a day. Not sure what the hard limit is. 20 or so? Pace yourself.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2267567]One evening some years ago I was walking in El Centro while talking on my Samsung Galaxy S6 and two blokes made a grab at my phone. No weapons were produced and there were people around. I held on to my phone and successfully warded them off. I am certain they were not criminals but ordinary guys who saw an opportunity. Part of the 99.9% as you put it. Be careful out there.[/QUOTE]A similar thing happened to my friends daughter in Medellin, a guy on a moto tried to grab her purse but successfully managed to resist the attempt.

I am not sure in which barrio this happened.

She is probably seen as a easy target as she is a young little blonde woman in her early twenties.

[QUOTE=Midwest;2267384]I just have to go to Medellin & clear this up. Need to interview a lot of mujeres. Probably will take me at least week. Have no choice![/QUOTE]Have fun, hehe.

A chica I asked told me it means to "share. " I then showed her the article and she said yeah he went to share. She doesn't speak much English so I'm starting to think she doesn't know what "share" in English really means in this context.

In particular in centro Medellin I've never seen someone talk on their cellphone out in the open. I've always seen them huddled in a corner or inside of a building doing it.

Anyway, 'departir' is always used in a negative, hard sense, no innocent parties here.

I have been to other cities in Columbia and it was so hot that spoiled my trip. It looks like MDE has nice weather year round. I will keep reading the reports but if anyone has something up to date I would appreciate it.

I'm thinking about booking a holiday in 2019 to Colombia & asking some questions prior.

1. What kind of budget do you guys work with when you do your mongering trips to Colombia?

2. How long do you guys normally stay when you do your mongering trips?

3. If I go to Medellin, what are some other activities to do besides mongering, especially in the day time?

4. I've read that sex work is legal, are there red light districts & if so what's the going rate normally?

Thanks in advance guys, I'm currently on Colombian Cupid & improving my Spanish online, just trying to get as much information before departing.

Arrived took airport bus 3 $ to Hotel Botero Medellin $30 night, clean safe first time in Medellin have many years in Costa Rica, almost 100% Spanish fluency, Have big city experience so el centro was fun, but I need to be a little more careful.

Loved the strip clubs club ejecutive, conejitos and neuava grill, picked several girls up, mostly hit them right in club, also had a FB girl and a dynamite vercruz street girl have lots of FB connections already most expensive girl was 65 $ , also spent a few days in Poblado in air be&be, I prefer el cento, found a great Indian veg restaurant, loved versailes.

And a China grill, saw almost no gringos in el centro except one boob 50 ish walking arm and arm with a very young chicsa like he owned the place, love parque bolivar art market on Saturday, checked out Paris and New Life didn't touch, I like to talk to a girl a while before.

I go with her, I am used to the Del Rey and sportsman in CR, This place blows CR away in terms of girls, price and experience, had 9 girls (have trouble going night after night) but 6 of them were straight up girl friend experience except always condom with penetration.

Botero hotel was a lot of families did not feel comfortable bringing chicas, except when my night friend is on after 8 pm, Airb&be had so many family units not so comfortable, loved the restaurants in Manila had a west village vibe but to many Americans, did metro and uber, I need to be more careful bouncing from conejito to hotel after 9 at night after reading here. Met an older women on CC in bello spent the day on a date ha ha, Got a buddy in Bello too rents a 3 bedroom apt for 350 $.

A few questions.

How can I pay for a membership here?

Any air be&be recommendations less then 40 $ night in any area with a very private entrance that you can recco?

I got mine last minute for 30 $ in Manilla.
