Stupid shit in Medellin

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2732136]So if Bill Gates went into McDonald's and paid $600 for a Happy Meal you would just think he was really hungry and the cheeseburger filled him up and the fries were hot? In other words he got the same Happy Meal that everybody else gets. Never mind the price of a Happy Meal is on the menu for $6? What you are saying is that because you have more money you should pay way more than things actually cost like the US government does by buying $400 hammers and $600 toilet seats? The government probably felt guilty paying the normal price because it has so much money.[/QUOTE]I hesitate on responding because I am one of these guys who wants this thread to stay focused on information on girls and places in Medellin. I think you're missing the point but that's fine.

But let's break down your comments. If Bill Gates went to McDonald's for a Happy Meal, and it was $6 and he gave the cashier $600, he would get $594 in change. At this point, he could, if he wanted, say to the cashier, that is for you to keep. Why would he do this? Well, he might want to make someone's day because he knows how much it would mean to that person. Should you overpay because you have more money? Of course not. But to some people with money, time is money and so they will pay more to save time such as a helicopter ride to go across town in Manhattan. But girls are not like non-fungible tokens and each girl is unique. I am sure that the girl Bill Gates will select will not be your typical street girl in El Centro.

The analogy to the USA Government overpaying for defense contracts is so off that I don't know where to begin so I will not discuss it.

My point is do what you want to do and don't worry about what others say. It's your money.

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2732191]So it seems that giving a phone provides a lot more value than cash? [/QUOTE]Don't give them anything but a fair rate for services provided. And definitely don't send them $ between trips. This all used to be standard procedure, and still is in a lot of circles, but not so much on this thread. We can hope that these are just the loudest voices at the moment and not the majority.

[QUOTE=Chicago85;2731988]How are you able to bring in 40 phones at a pop? I've brought them, laptops, rare scotch in and re-sold to friends, but I always understood the limit was 3 or 4 phones before they tax you on the remainder. My luggage is also scanned 90% of the time. Am I missing something?[/QUOTE]He facetiously called himself a liar. He is not. Pollo is a straight shooter and an intelligent hustler who speaks fluent Spanish. I called him a businessman before in the sense that he sees all the angles.

He explained his system to me in detail with supporting documentation. Exactly that, it's a system that frankly is out of reach for the majority of guys here, so in that sense you are not missing out.

My reaction was, "Wow", respect, clever annnnnnd, waaay to much work for someone in my position. Maybe that makes me a bit on the lazy side but happiness and contentment can do that to a man.

I get the feeling that if even Pollo were the richest guy in Medellin, he's still be out there selling cell phones, one at a time to put some dinero in his pocket. Jajaja, I like him for that reason.

He reminds me of my other Medellin friend, Crazy George. They are nothing alike but I could write a very entertaining screenplay and put both characters in the same movie, jajajajaaja.

I'm in Atlantic Beach, Florida, chillin'. Got me a nice little twin turbo Cadillac rental that is very quick. Going to the beach and the gym today, is the only thing on my agenda. As nice as my life is here in the states, it ain't Medellin but I can use the change of pace for a little while.

Catgirl sent me a video last night of the huge, annual Flower Festival from inside a stadium somewhere in Medellin. I think the past couple of years it was cancelled, not sure, due to Covid, so it's nice to see that back.

Thanks again to all you guys who helped me work through some of this cell phone shit, I really will have a somewhat different approach now although I have always been a natural "giver". Change is never easy. The natural "takers" in the world smell guys like us like sharks smell blood in the water. That is no secret and I have known that for decades. I was married to a "taker" and she was a good match, and we are still great friends.

A lot of the times it feels like the entire female and male population of Medellin are takers, but they are also genuinely needy.

Remember, if a guy is a willing participant in giving, and he is not hurting himself materially (can't pay the bills he should) don't get upset about how other dudes spend their money. This is not a contest and even though money = love here, I have repeatedly said that you don't need a lot of money to find love here and probably most of the guys are not even looking for love. I am a love addict and if you think about it for a second, that explains a lot! Jajaja. Ostee Out and I see no reason why we all should not continue thru this craziness called life and Keep on Keepin' On! I am in a mood and my PBA is kicking in strong this morning, so I will say it, I love you guys!

But you may have taken the dude you responded to a little too literally.

You need to stop. You must have been born and raised in LA and believe the LA culture where everyone is special and deserves a prize. We do not give those out here. You mentioned mental health issues. Guess what? Most of us on this site have those, work through them (man-up), and are proud of them. You need to stay in LA for more sensitivity training before you come here hurting all of our feelings.

Also, I doubt it would take hours to explain. Obviously, some issues are complex but I found the answer to most of my questions anyway, I did comb the forums, but a general question would be what are some of thenon obvious ways you can be poisoned.[/QUOTE]Non obvious is when you don't see it happen, which is probably always the case if something has been added to your drink. Perhaps something can be put in your food instead. And it often happens in conjunction with being drunk when a lot of things may not be obvious. Or you think you are drunk and really you have been drugged with scopalamine.

On that subject. I think the local scope is home made, from leaves of trees common in Colombia. So dosages are a bit unpredictable. I have no idea what the range is, but it may well be quite different than the pharmaceutical preparations.

I thought your response was spot-on which is why I suggested to Mr. E that he took you a little too literally. He is often interested in any post about perceived value of the chicas, especially when it involves payment.

All harmless and the only opinion that matters as to what is appropriate to post, is admin or the moderators. People lose sight of that fact frequently here and post as if their personal agenda should be met as a primary purpose.

I do believe in awareness and cognizance of the mood or vibe or whatever you want to call it here. But in the end, unless you are getting blocked or deleted by admin, then what other users believe should or should not be posted is irrelevant. The goalposts can move a lot on that subject, too. There are more than a few "old-timers" here who have not quite come to grips that the Web site they are on now, is very different than when they joined, mostly due to the single biggest impact on society ever. The Internet.

Let some girl peg you with a strap-on made of yttrium-90.

Are you worried about being poisoned, or about being drugged? Unless you're a secret agent, nobody is going to poison you.

People get drugged by having Scopolamine put in their drink. Unless you are being drugged by a secret agent, there are no other reliable ways someone can drug you. If they cook for you, I suppose they could mix it into your food. Otherwise you'll likely notice. They don't blow it into your face, they don't rub it on their tits and they don't put it on doorknobs. They put it into your drink.

Specifically they put it into your drink when you aren't paying attention to your drink. If you're drunk it's easier to drug you. If you leave your drink unattended it's easier to drug you. If you let them mix drinks for you it's easier to drug you.

[QUOTE=KrunkMan4;2732157]Jesus Christ and people say I need to stay home. IMO opinion there is no love not only in the United States with modern culture actively encouraging girls to be increasingly more transactional in music from the age of 13, but you don't think attractive girls in more or less than optimally stable countries aren't scouted and told about their value by the age of 15.

In my community, we call this the "captain save a hoe" mindset and for a man it is the most dangerous thing in the world and have gotten many a men in trouble and I guess will continue to do so.

Unless you have a annual income of 250 grand or more with no kids and obligations of significance like a mortgage. This is fucking ridiculous.[/QUOTE]You need to stay home, not for our sakes, but for yours. Your inability to read what is in front of you and take the right fork in the road will set you up for disaster. But hey, don't listen to me, what do I know? Come on down and you too can be the next contestant on The Price is Right. Jaajajjaaa. Good luck, my friend, you are going to need a huge, healthy dose of it here in Magical Medellin.

Also, I will beat one of our fellow philosophers on-line here to the punch, JuJuBee. If he has not already done so, he's going to recommend a little outside reading for you by Dale Carnegie, "How to Win Friends and Influence People". There is also "The Power of Positive Thinking" by NVP. I will even delve down into sales techniques with some good ol' fashioned Zig Ziglar, "Born to Win".

Peace Out and Stay Safe!

P.S. If it seems to my fellow mongerers I have too much time on my hands, you are right! Kickin' it and relaxing here in Pussy Prision without all that sex and drugs really frees up a guy's schedule, jajajajajajaaa. Did my first SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) today out in the Intercoastal so I have stepped away from the keyboard once or twice, jajajaja.

[QUOTE=MoonShot;2732310] I am sure that the girl Bill Gates will select will not be your typical street girl in El Centro..[/QUOTE]Why, will she have 2 or more vaginas?

Overpaying. The Q is, is it an appropriate thing to do, and does it have a negative effect on others.

You spend 3 days complaining that men need to be nicer to other men and then you take a swing at one of the nicer men on ISG because he occasionally treats a few girls who he sees several times each year?

You didn't even get the captain sav-a-hoe thing right.

Many mongers do nice things for various girls. It can be something as simple as putting $5 worth of data on their phone, or as extravagant as buying them a house. Generally it's because the girl is something more than just a paid fuck.

It's not dangerous at all. In fact it's healthy. Socially you are recognizing the value of another person. Physically, assuming you are picking the right girls, you have someone with a vested interest in your continued health and safety. Emotionally, you are doing something which makes you happy. Sexually, you've moved things to a new level.

If you can afford to travel to a foreign country for the purpose of fucking, you can afford to treat people right.

[QUOTE=JustTK;2732466]Overpaying. The Q is, is it an appropriate thing to do, and does it have a negative effect on others.[/QUOTE]The answers are pretty simple:

Overpaying. Is it an appropriate thing to do? If you overpay without knowing the market. You are uninformed.

If you overpay [B]knowing the market[/B] you are making a choice and such is your right.

Does it have a negative effect on others? This has been beaten to death. The short answer is [B]no[/B].

Seriously man more crabs in a barrel shit man up really dude. Half the people who travel for the company of ladies have been divorce raped. I haven't, my point wasn't everyone needs special snowflake sensitivity treatment my point is in generally being an all around shithead to people who are genuinely trying to avoid adversity is stupid. (Man up) dude are you fucking like 12 years old. Just because I am of the opinion that men should support each other instead of crab in a barrel super simping to find "the one" and (man up) which basically entails accepting the fact that in the modern era men kinda get shit on by society through divorce rape and the family court system and modern media that treats men like walking wallets. It has nothing to do with being a fucking snowflake and everything to do with getting rid of this crabs in a barrel bulkshit between men that is counter productive. To a certain extent the crabs in a barrell mindset is natural because men compete for women but jn the modern era it accomplishes absolutely nothing. Ie (go get poisoned and find out) like for fucks sake.

I am a noob obviously, my whole point with the crabs in a barrel thing is to not treat noobs like shit. Whatever man, like I don't even know where to find the Lazy Mans Guide to Stay Safe in Medellin, even pointing there would have been helpful but instead we have some 55 year old probably non minority with more or less the benefit of wealth generation through culturally propagated advantages, and compound interest crying about how the noobs just need to know everything automatically, in relation to the cpt save a hoe business, I'm not a noob, some will say "treating a woman right" but imagine if you fall on hard times and your bank account suffers. It may be the case of throwing around money like daddy warbucks you have these girls return the fzvor and help you out in your time of need but lets be honest. The probability if that is slim to none. Are you going to say the girl didn't "treat you right" in that instance. Come on man. If you are confident your what I presume to be wealth will last forever that's fine, but we call it cpt save a hoe for the precise reason that you aren't fucking jesus christ dude, you are exchanging your wealth for these women's beauty and youth at a much lower cost than in the US where the exact same thing is done.
