Hey Tall Man, thanks for all the great advice here; one question, what's your advice on finding non-pros in Medellin?
[QUOTE=Lugnut;2486834]On that note, about safety, I was robbed recently. In El Poblado, at 3 pm, on Calle 10 as I was walking to Exito Wow. A guy walking the other way on the sidewalk came at me super aggressively with a big knife. It was all over in seconds. And I was even wearing pants!
So I guess I'm saying, keep your wits about you. And minimize loss. Don't carry anything or card etc that you do not absolutely need. If you are out with a phone, make sure it is a local burner phone.[/QUOTE]I'm going to buy a $50 Android phone, and I will use that one when I'm around. And I will not exchange money in advance. With my debit card I can get money from the ATM with no expenses. I will carry with me what is strictly necessary. But what about the debit card? Did they take it or they are looking for cash? Because honestly I can block it in a minute, so they can't use it, not even once. But if they take it, then is going to be a problem, because with the others I have, I will have to pay commissions.
If the guy is only one, with a knife, unless he is Bolt, there is no fuckin way he is going to get a penny from me, because I run too fast for the average people. If he has a gun, or he is with other fellas, then they can take what he wants. But if he is alone with a knife, at 3 PM, unless the knife is on me, if he just threatening me from a distance, like he did with you, then I will run away so fast that he will have to try with someone else. He will not even bother to chase me. These people always go for the easiest targets.
And you know what is funny? I have been robbed by the Hungarian police once. Yes, you heard it, they literally robbed me over 20 years ago. And I mean it, the police robbed me, not a single guy, 4 of them. They took my passport and they asked me money to have it back. And immediately after I left the country, and I will never go back.
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2485679]El Poblado, Laureles, Envigado[/QUOTE]Noted.
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2485679]Cabify is a usable app for rides, Didi, EasyTaxi, are others[/QUOTE]Great, really helpful.
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2485679]- Can I buy a local SIM card?[/QUOTE]I read I can get one directly at the airport airport. Can you confirm?
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2485679]Prices vary everywhere but a tinder chick is definitely going to ask for more money.[/QUOTE]I do not currently have Tinder. I might install it when I'm there and I have a local number. Are the Tinder chicks more attractive than the ones I can see on Prepagos? I have seen a few threads on Facebook, but I don't have that either, neither I intend to register.
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2485679]Always try to negotiate everywhere[/QUOTE]Noted.
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2485679]Some do, some do not - negotiate for these things beforehand - when she agrees to the things - keep the Whatsapp conversation handy to remind her (yes you need Whatsapp when in Colombia)
[/QUOTE]Good advise, thanks.

[QUOTE=JohnGault;2486530]I have heard that tinder is the worst in that drugging is what some of them do.
I think the only safe way to monger in Colombia is to use the Casa's. ...............[/QUOTE]Twelve years ago I went to a casa in centro, after the deed I went to shower. While in there I just got this feeling to check in the room. I never did that before nor since. I got out of the shower all wet and looked in and saw the chica riffling through my pant's pockets. She saw me and screamed. I said nothing. She was very nervous as she thought I might tell the papasan which I did not. Be wary everywhere.
I always take my pants and wallet into the bathroom with me unless I can keep it in sight while showering. I don't understand why anyone would take that risk. In my apartment I installed a locking combination keypad on the guest bedroom door. I use the guest room as a very large safe for cash and easy to pilfer valuables. So far so good. Of course this offers no protection if you get Cosby'd but there is another thread about how to prevent that.

I noticed that pattern too.
[QUOTE=Blakman;2486909]This is your 2nd knife wielding story you have told. Something is wrong here. There was the attempted robbery in centro and now poblado. Either your story telling or doing something terribly wrong..[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=JustIncognito;2486879]I agree they love trump in Brazil. Not many other places.
My post wasn't and isn't about my politics it's an explanation of how and what I have seen from the cut throat no hold barred drug 'them and rob 'them attitude that many hookers have. Yes, primarily its the money hustle--but also that Americans in general have a bad rep in many places. Many places love America and the idea of america. But not necessarily Americans. Brazil has Bolsonaro-he is south american trump -they love the con man strong man want to be authoritarian. And how is Brazil doing? Good on covid? Strong economy? Lack of crime? Anyway, you can disagree all you want--that's about your politics not mine. You write I'm not talking about working girl perceptions. But that's what my post was about! Save the hate-appreciate! Have fun dodging the covid in Brazil.[/QUOTE]Your post was an explanation of what? That's not even a good lie. You sound like a politician that stepped in it and has to dig himself out. Unfortunately for you most Americans have learned since March that the ones calling others racists are the racists. I know a misguided lying racist when I hear one.

Keep on point, this site is and should be all about pussy, that is the slit between a woman's legs and not the left lib democrat pussies with their continual lies and corruption and hate, hehehehe.

[QUOTE=PolloNegro;2486485]I recently stated: People are people and they have many strange ideas about Americans and many Colombians and Venezuelans have a deep rooted hatred for Americans, trust me I found this out the hard way. Many of these working girls have shown me that they are just as opportunistic as people growing up in the Ghettos of America. I grew up in the Ghettos of america and I know what it is like to live hand to mouth. Many have confided in me and told me, that they all think gringos are stupid, rich, and wasteful with money. I can easily see why they think that after spending 3 years here mongering.
[/QUOTE]Your logic is terribly flawed. The conclusions you drew are an incredible reach. Funny.
Do Colombian girls target exclusively Americans?
I don't suppose you happen to know what percentage of tourists in Medellin are American vs tourists from other countries do you?
Do people from the ghettos of America hate Americans?
Do you think a desperate person in a ghetto would not rob you? You're American. A black American. Do poor people in ghettos hate black Americans?
I wonder if a desperate Colombian girl would rob a Colombian?
Maybe poor people simply resent people with money.
Is it possible that some Colombians like Americans (well enough) but just don't like you?
I try not to let my thinking be misguided by narcissism. You should consider that as well.
[QUOTE=Surfer500;2486753]Yes your correct, and it's beginning to sound more and more like SJobs was total fiction, or perhaps become a victim of one or more scanadalous Chicas of which we may never hear about and hope isn't the case.[/QUOTE]I've long suspected SJobs was a fraud.
While no way for me to know for sure, I felt the same. He was just too over the top. Almost like reading fiction. I kept imagining some silicone valley geek who never got any in the USA Fleeing to Colombia for satisfaction. Of course, had I known about Colombia when I was in my 20's and 30's, I would have done it too. And saved the hassle of dating!
Will be interested to see if he re-appears.

My groundwork & events in medellin speak for themselves. Once again everyone who's in Medellin & who's coming to Medellin stay safe. 7 months here & I have seen the good, the bad, & the ugly. But you keep rationalizing why my posts are flawed! Pollo negro is out!
[QUOTE=JustIncognito;2486882]Leave out the cheap stuff. She snagged a lighter--that's it-there is no 2nd time.
Also, I don't see anyone mentioning the safe in the room. I think the safe is a good spot to hide stuff, NO?
In most places-hotels especially--there is at least one recessed light that is pushed into the ceiling. Stand on a chair or the be, use a knife from the kitchen to pull the light out and you will have a nice storage spot in the ceiling of the building. Nobody taking anything from there-nobody trying or thinking about it. LOL.
I stashed a bong lighter weed and 75 kcop in the ceiling of a hotel about 5 years ago. I requested the same room when I came back, but didn't get it. Finally 2 years later I got the room. And there was my stash! Right where I left it 2 years earlier in the ceiling. Light bulb was probably changed but they never actually looked up in there when they took it out to change it- no need to take the whole assembly out of the ceiling. The 75 kcop came in handy-I ordered in food since I arrived late at night and was all set for the 1st night without needing a money exchange or putting something on a card.[/QUOTE]The safe is good most of the time. Problem is if they hit you with the scop drug it makes you very docile. Guys who have been hit with that have been taken to an ATM and withdrew their money as the girl asks them to in a sweet voice. It is even better in the room as all they have to do is ask you to open the safe.
Speaking of safes a good friend of mine had a great safe in his house. He was bragging to me and another fellow how secure was his safe. The other fellow laughed and make his fist into a gun and told him open up the fuckin safe.

Maybe poor people simply resent people with money..[/QUOTE]You don't like his "logic," but offer no alternative logic of your own. You just rattle off a bunch of inane questions which make no case for anything. The heart of Pollo's argument is this:
"Many (chicas) have confided in me and told me, that they all think gringos are stupid, rich, and wasteful with money."
I've had them tell me the same thing a number of times over the last twenty years. Others have reported the same to where this is about common knowledge. It's also common knowledge that Americans generally have a bad rep in many foreign countries that boils down to one word, "arrogance." Of course not all are this way but enough are for the stereotype to stick. So that's the sum of it, though for some reason it struck a nerve with you enough to where you attack the guy calling him a "narcissist," like that has anything to do with anything. Lololol. You are the one with the problem as your pointless post demonstrates.
