Medellin Reports

It sounds like you're super low on funds where you have to count every penny. You got to keep in mind that not everybody is in the same financial situation as you. A lot of people don't want the cheapest girl available or the cheapest drink or the cheapest hotel. That doesn't make them stupid.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2758454]All strip clubs are stupid and a waste of money. Those 2 k bills could be put to much better use than giving them away for free for nothing. If you want sex 30 k in Centro, if want beer 3 k for a tall can Andina beer at your local tienda in the barrio. You want to waste money on bullshit, by all means go to the strip clubs like a dumb gringo.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2758609]Did they steal your phone? If so what did you do to replace it? That is one of my greatest concerns. Will be in MDE in 4 weeks for the first time for a week.[/QUOTE]Man up. Don't let somebody punk you out of carrying your usual phone.

[QUOTE=SouthernOcean;2758567]Went to La Isla last night. 50 k to get in and they wanted 95 k, yes I made sure, for a bottle of water. Some nice women but way to pricey for me. Went to Fase ll. 20 k to get in and 5 k for a bottle of water. Some very nice women there. Check out Parque Lleras and there where a few nice ones. Did not go to Gustos. Went to Botero today but must have wandered around the wrong part because I did not see but a couple.

Going to a casa called Angeles spa in a little while. Could use some advice on the best casas.

Very nice here so far. Airbnb is very nice for the money.

Well I am going to go get fucked. Have fun.[/QUOTE]How was Angeles spa?

[QUOTE=Huacho;2758379]You need to actually RTFF and maybe you won't get robbed and beaten. You keep asking questions that have been answered over and over and you can't even spell the places you plan to go. And then you want to take hookers to dinner. No, no, no, and no. And RTFF. You are prime meat for the taking.[/QUOTE]I'm not a newbie.

I've mongered in jaco and Sousa.

I'm just exploring new experiences in Medellin- use FB and have someone to eat dinner with.

Doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to have sex with my dinner companion.

Everything is so cheap in Columbia. I have no issues dropping $30 for a young dinner companion to converse with.

It's not all just about sex.

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2758617]Where is a good place to buy a cheap phone in MDE?[/QUOTE]In Centro. 100's of places. Hang around for a few hours and you might be able to biuy your stolen one back!

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2758580]Really? What's stupid is the "anyone who doesn't do everything my way is stupid" mentality. Considering that almost everything you post is a complaint, your way doesn't seem too appealing. Why choose a path that leaves one constantly pissed off at the world?

Strip clubs are an option. For some they are a good option. For others they aren't. Paying $4-$5 for a beer isn't going to break the bank. Paying $0. 40 for a naked woman to dance on your crotch for 2 minutes probably isn't going to wipe out your mongering budget. You can easily spend 2 hours in Barre Ejecutiva, drink 2 beers, feel up 20 women, fuck 1 woman and spend less than $40. Rather then be miserable and complaining on my vacation, I'll happily drop a whopping $40 for an evening's entertainment that includes beer and sex.

And 30 k for sex in El Centro doesn't include the cost of the room. Stop spreading false information.[/QUOTE]That rhetoric has been going for a nice min here, glad so see some of you vets chipping in. LOL. Like really? Tipping 2 k is literally $0. 40 cents and we must discuss it and cry about it? Not just once but for weeks now. Preciate your input JjBee62.

[QUOTE=JamesPearle;2758474]AFAIK, someone can set up a bogus account and post fake pictures on any social media platform. In the future, I'm only dealing with social media profiles that are recommended by someone reliable. Definitely stay on high alert while you're there. Good luck.[/QUOTE]Yes, but Tinder isn't a social media platform, it's an anonymous dating site. It's specifically designed to keep users from knowing anything about each other, making it perfect for those with bad intentions.

Facebook is harder, because an active account is a busy place. I don't bother with accounts that never post anything, where there's no interaction. It's hard to fake family and friends.

[QUOTE=Mtndew704;2758602]Lmao 95 k for a water, what a joke.[/QUOTE]I'm thinking there was some confusion. I'm not positive, but I believe the cheapest bottle of liquor is 95 k. You need to buy a bottle to get a seat on one of the couches. Instead of asking for a bottle of water, if he had asked for agua sin gas or con gas he probably would have gotten a much lower price, although it still wouldn't be cheap.

La Isla is in business to make money. They have a high cover charge to discourage those who just want to watch a free show. Their drink prices are high and if you're not spending money don't expect to be sitting by the stage. If you're just there to sip on a cheap bottle of water and try to get some whatsapp numbers they don't want you there, and quite frankly you don't belong there.

I've said this several times. If you want a strip club where you don't need to spend much money, go to El Centro. If you're going out with some friends and feel comfortable spending money go to La Isla. If you go to La Isla and then complain it was too expensive you need to learn how to do better research.

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2758617]Where is a good place to buy a cheap phone in MDE?[/QUOTE]Walk under the Metro where it is elevated leaving the Parque Berrio Station past Hotel Nutibarra and directly underneath there will be vendors with little tables set up and selling used, meaning "stolen phones " starting at about 80 K and up. If your looking for something new, than you will find them all over Centro. If you walk from the Parque Berrio Metro Station headed to the Veracruz Church, almost every other store sells phones.

And when the chica came around for tips after she danced almost everyone shelled out the 2 mil tip. It was simply the business model of the place. I don't even think of it as a tip, I just think of it as paying for the entertainment, 40 or 50 cents at a time. Of course it is optional. If you didn't like the dance that much save your 2 mil and leave.

[QUOTE=JustTK;2758596]One doesn't have to tip either. Girls will still dance even if you don't tip. Many of the Colombians don't tip, and its not a foreigner tax. .

I see it though, rather like tipping a waiter / waitress in a restaurant. Maybe Gabacho thinks we should not use restaurants either?[/QUOTE]It is two different situations when compared to El Centro. I am not familiar with FASE 2 but I guess it is similar to La Isla that they won't take less than 2 mil. They think they are entitled. I just go with the flow and don't even think about the money. One can consider the tip as a payment to grope the dancer. It's less than 20 USD even if you stay and tip all night.

Tipping with coins in a strip club is bad form.

[QUOTE=DonCarlos1234;2757638]...Does anyone go to Gustos ... Thursday?[/QUOTE]I went based on the report. It's pretty packed. The quality is not as high as La Isla. I probably can pick 3 or 4 better looking ones out of maybe 40 to 60 girls but they are older when they told me their age. LOL. I am pretty sure 80% of the girls are no better than El Centro or Facebook. By that I mean it is easy to find better or the same elsewhere. It's packed and loud so it is not easy to talk unless you go out to the patio. I went thinking about following the playbook described but I don't see anyone that is worth my effort tonight. The best looking one to me is Mariana or similar, 24,200 USD for 1 hour, and 300 USD for 2 hours. A second Mariana is exotics looking, 21,300 USD for an hour. I asked how much was in COP. She showed me on her phone and it was more than 1. 5 million. These girls don't even look high end. I can see some facial blemish too. The crowd is not high end either when compared to other high end clubs elsewhere. BTW, I myself don't look high end either. LOL. I may go again when I am free just so I don't miss the hot ones. Hehe.

It seems that all the street actions are pushed up to Calle 10. I talked to a tall slender one that I liked but she was 23. She wants 300 K.
