Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=DeepXliv;2561446]Not sure if this is allowed but one of the girls I was seeing was robbed and shot in the foot earlier this week, I know all these girls have a sob story but this is legit and she's genuinely a sweet girl. She's out of commission for at least a month at minimum so she's hurting. If anyone's down to throw a couple bucks her way in return for some good karma dm me. I'm working on creating a gofundme.[/QUOTE]Your post begs the question, are you going to be sending this girl any of your personal funds, or just soliciting others to do so.

And do you actually think other mongers would send money to an unknown Chica, anywhere in the World for that matter.

So for the gofundme account you set up I can only imagine the title, starting out with, "Injured Colombian Hooker Needs Assistance".

Really, you can't be serious about this. If so, can you set up a gofundme account for me, with the title starting out with, "Dirty Old Man Needs Assistance To Pay For Colombian Hookers".

LOL.

With that said, listen to what Tall Man wrote you. Even if you witnessed her being robbed which it doesn't sound like you did, that would be the Oonly possible way the story was legit, and guess what? These chicas are so devious that they would stage a robbery and fake an injury if they thought there was a payoff from a guy like you. That is not the main point, I'll assume she was robbed for real. Once you tag yourself as the "guy who helps out" the crises will never stop, and the list of girls you know having them will grow. Just look at this way, getting shot in the foot is just another day in the life of Medellin, jajaja.

[QUOTE=JohnnyO;2561604]If you manage to get to Centro on Sunday / Tomorrow I would appreciate an update on the situation there. Remember some of the biggest protests so far are scheduled for today and either protests or unrest could spill over into Sunday so be very careful out there.[/QUOTE]Will do, I can pass as a Colombian, at least that is what I have been told by other Colombians, so if I go out, at least I won't have a target on my back.

I have no intention of getting mixed in with any protesters, I did once get mixed in with a protest in Bogota a few years back, and it was a bit surreal in that there were lots of police who kind of walked alongside the protesters. If I'm out and notice / witness any unrest or violence, I'll put my tail between my legs and scurry away.

I had been hoping that the "protest madness" in Colombia would of simmered over by now, and pulled the plug to return, yet maybe I'm going to be showing up for the perfect storm.

Oh well, I'm stuck now, and am checked in at the Airport in Puerto Vallarta waiting for my flights to return late Saturday night. Hopefully the roads won't be shut down into town.

Hopefully things will be fine on Sunday, I'm sure some of my street urchins will be out, LOL.

Thanks for heads up!

[QUOTE=ChuchoLoco;2561339]Surfer and Deep.

Thanks for quick to the point answers. I will start looking for flights.[/QUOTE]Good thing that flights are too expensive now or I may have bought one. I now see that largest protests and continued lockdowns going on so enjoy yourselves and stay safe. I'll wait for cheaper flights and better times.

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2561562]I get you as there was a time in my life when I was an big heart'ed generous loving and giving person, always sharing to those less fortunate but learned the culture here in Colombia which after decades of hard lessons (and some expensive) has completely changed my attitude.

Frankly there are literally millions of Colombians in the same situation if not worse.

Anymore the only way I 'would throw a few bucks her way' is "si-lo mama", meaning 'sure so suck my dick' and anything else and your getting taken for a ride. There is no respect to kind heart'ed people here, this is the culture, I am keeping it real here.

Just a bit of advice to help open your eyes. You don't have to take heed as I sound like a jack ass but I am just talking frankly. Ten years ago I would never have believed I would even hint at this but I have learned the culture.[/QUOTE]I like the honest post TM. It explains a lot, but you are saying you love the barrio girls, and the way I think of that is if I hung around nothing but strippers in America (and I did that for a period of time), I would say much the same thing.

You are saying it is Colombian culture. I would say the same that that attitude is American culture if I were in strip clubs all the time.

So what we are talking about is if someone down on their luck is due to that being the case via unfortunate circumstances or bad planning. If it is the former, they deserve sympathy, and the latter you would be enabling said behavior.

Quite frankly, I think the Vennie culture is suspect in this area as anyone who made long term plans got squished.

So by moving up higher on the food chain of women, I think you will find a marked difference in attitude with regards to giving and helping.

I have found Colombians much better at long term planning and stable relationships. IMO giving has been appreciated with them.

[QUOTE=DeepXliv;2561065]LOL I usually tell them to let me know when their ready and call them a didi. That way I can track it.[/QUOTE]The chicas can and should use Google Live Location from their cell phones to let you know where they are. If they are gamng you, they will tell you that they don't know how to use Google Live Locatoin. Bullshit. The average uneducated chica is a super user of cell phones and what can be on them thru the Interweb. If they stick to that story, then the next time you see her, you show her how to use Google Live Location and then there are no excuses.

But I am not 100% convinced that these girls have or will soon know of a hack or workaround to make Google Live Location give a false location. Jajajajaja.

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2561562]Seriously? WTF! The road to hell is paved with good intentions so god help you.

I get you as there was a time in my life when I was an big heart'ed generous loving and giving person, always sharing to those less fortunate but learned the culture here in Colombia which after decades of hard lessons (and some expensive) has completely changed my attitude.

Something happens to guys when they get to stick their dick into a pussy. They lose reality of what is their responsibility and what is not. Many a man has voluntarily put himself on the hook claiming or taking care of a kid that is not his because he was sticking his dick into the mama.

I had a buddy that was fucking with this chick in the Philippines. The chick died and my buddy had a big enough heart to financially support her daughters. I said man you are 70 years old and your kids are grown. Those kids are not your responsibility. He cussed me the fuck out and told me that he knew what he was doing. Well turns out the chick did not die and he was being scammed. Experience is the best teacher. Go, have your fun, and don't get wrapped up in other people's problems. You probably have enough of your own already anyway.

It's two different mongerers with two different comfort levels on how deep they engage with chicas, meaning you and Tall Man. I am certain Tall Man only had the best interests in mind of an obvious beginner, and as far as being helpful in general, he is all that and then some. This was not about right or wrong or a morality play. I fell like I can make this call because on this topic, I fall somewhere the middle between you two, jajaja. I probably help chicas more than I should, but I could do a lot more without any pain. Viva la difference!

The gofundme idea was from an expat group but she was reluctant which makes me agree with your guys sentiments. For me it was good intentions, I was going to give some of my money as well, not trying to exploit others just putting it out there as I did in that group but after a night to sleep on it, I agree life moves on and she'll be fine. She should be happy to be alive and that her surgery was fine. I appreciate the honesty and bluntness shown haha probably helped me avoid making a mistake.

Real talk: Today the protests are much bigger news on this website than in any of the local newspapers or news broadcasts. The level of hand wringing and fear mongering here is quite something.

Switching gears for just a moment, I passed through Parque Lleras last week for the first time since before the pandemic. At 8 PM It seemed a little quieter than I remember and there were plenty of foreigners milling about.

Sounds like it was real and I am sorry it happened to someone about who you obviously care. That's one of the pitfalls of Medellin. Colombia is the Land of Scams but at the same time, bad shit is happening to people. One of the most common scams a chica will play is "My cell phone got stolen. " I know one Gringo who was keeping a chica on the side and I think she had a cell stolen once a month. I told him by the time all her cousins had a phone for which he was paying, then the theft rate might slow down, jajajaja. But guess what, cell phone theft is epidemic in Medellin and I assume the other big cities in Colombia. My Numero Uno chica, my actual novia, had her phone stolen at gunpoint while she was sitting in a taxi. She could have made up the story to get a new one, but the no-name brand I bought her as a replacement didn't even have a scratch on it the first time I returned to Medellin almost a year later, and that was without a case! First thing I did was buy her a case, and in my mind that was sort of the acid test for proving her story was real. I know (meaning fucked) three other chicas who have had there phones stolen in the nine months I have spent in Medellin. I think stealing phones is more like the Colombian national sport, after soccer.

I sent a chica some food money within the past month and Tall Man called me out here just like we did to you. He is on solid ground with that advice and I appreciated it. But he doesn't know her or me personally, and she didn't ask for money, I based it on her weight loss I saw on an impromptu foto she sent. She was going without food and that is a foreign concept figuratively and literally to everyone on this board. So there is nothing wrong if you send her some money, but you don't want to cultivate the habit or you will never get off that treadmill. But asking your fellow mongers? Jajaja that was a good one. Ostee Out. Yes, I am posting today like there is no tomorrow. I'll get it out of my system and be fine, jaja.

[QUOTE=LatinaLover#1;2561401]Your citing one or two isolated instances, My advice was general in nature and what worked for me when I had have enough of no shows. As far as your last paragraph I'm at a loss for words, Kings, Doctors compared to prepagos?? Huh? Jaja.[/QUOTE]Believe it or not, when I respond to a post, I assume the original poster will not change his view, and that is not my aim. When a User goes to the trouble of writing the post, his mind is usually made up, unless he is genuinely asking for help. I usually don't get personal but like I said before, around here all you have to do is describe the problem in general, and they line up here to assign themselves, jajaja.

You say "isolated instances" I say representative examples or sentinel events. That is still just my opinion and it can be very difficult to tell the difference. Pollo Negro got it right on the quote I butchered from memory, as I warned. I respond mainly to list alternate viewpoints for the "silent majority" who come here, not the Gringos who post all the time. Guilty as charged. Sometimes I get a little riled up when I see posts presented as dogma, when really is just one monger's opinion compared to another. I like to laugh and all I have to do is take one giant step back and remember that we are here because of fucking and sucking, and that is inherently funny to me.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]I have seen girls that would sec you in a Medellin Minute for 50 mil and then tomorrow tell everyone she meets how she hates foreigners, trust me, this is the Colombian culture and the norm. The more you give, the more you buy, the less they have respect for you. I have learned this, I have witnessed this, you cannot be overly kind to the people of Colombia, they will take your kindness for weakness. Just for $hits and giggles, if you don't send the money what will she do? Find another foreigner to run that same game on! Pollo Negro is out!

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2561665]Real talk: Today the protests are much bigger news on this website than in any of the local newspapers or news broadcasts. The level of hand wringing and fear mongering here is quite something..[/QUOTE]I agree with you, I have seen no mention of protests at all in either El Colombiano or Vivir en Poblado, but am concerned there may be some more weekend lockdowns coming based on the infection numbers and ICU capacity.

I might only be in town until Friday and then bail out, but I hope not.
