[QUOTE=JohnGault;2849033]No one has mentioned the weather in MDE. *.
I have been coming here since 2010 and it has never been this hot. I normally hate air conditioner's but now it is a must here now.
d.[/QUOTE]Its definitely been hotter than hooker in heater here the past month.
Unfortunately it's global warming, not only here, but everywhere it seems like in the world.
And yes, unless your totally in the shade, AC is a must.
[QUOTE=Haxagonus;2849186]Mde not as poor anymore I guess. With the massive influx of foreigners to Medellin more girls moving to poblado / lleras and not doing centro. [/QUOTE]Agree. Now I haven't gone to the casas off the beaten path in awhile. I may have to venture out one day because the most notable ones in El Centro are a crap shoot. Long gone are the days of hitting multiple casas in one day for 2 or 3 smashes that were quality. I haven't migrated to the FB stuff yet either. You're right about adapting. I guess I've been spoiled for so long where going to bust a good nutt was as easy and effortless as going to the gym and having a good workout LOL. In and out.
[QUOTE=Chicago85;2848857]I agree that $3 k is a lot to take, but note that the FDIC insures this iup to $250 k per account. As someone who was scolped last November (by a 'non pro on 3rd date') no less, and had $25 k taken from me between credit cards and bank accounts, Charles Schwab and Chase were iron clad and stand up. Citibank not so much. I was eventually made completely whole, but some banks I found better than others.
BTW. I take no pride in sharing this. I'm just making it know that it does happen, even to those of us who have been in the hobby for 10+ years and take normal precautions (ie locking things up). Shit happens. Keep your guard up gentlemen![/QUOTE]Sorry to hear what happened to you bro. Few years ago dudes getting scolped in Col was a very rare topic, now every day we're reading this incl deaths, so fellas we need to be more diligent. Obviously the Colombian Govt or Police isn't cracking down on it so it's up the us Gringos to find a way to prevent it. I was going to make this post on Best Practices, but I figured I'd reply it to your comment since you mentioned it:
These Rules will keep you alive, keep you from getting drugged or Scolped. Nothing is guarantee but your chances of encountering those issues are highly reduced:
1. Don't get drunk in the bars, clubs, or in the streets alone. If you're with friends it's usually OK.
2. Drugs, drugs, drugs, THIS is a choice that increases your chance of being among troubled chicas (especially if they do drugs also which is many of them). You made your own bed at this point.
3. We've all read about covering our drinks. Not leaving our drinks unattended. This one's on you.
4. Leave the gullible, everything is like a flowery pink paradise, I'm a rich (poor at home) gringo while in Medellin mindset behind.
5. Pretend you're hanging out or passing through the most dangerous hood in the US. Be observant of your surroundings, and you can do this without being paranoid.
6. Have a system. I've read some fellas do not bring girls to their main spot, or have a spare room, some leave their cash or main cellphone in safes, and only be outside with small amounts of cash or 1 credit card, or what they're willing to lose. This is what I do. I use the MotelNow app, which I learned about in a post here; basically lists all the love motels in Col you can use to bring girls for as cheap as 20 k pesos for few hrs. No excuses.
7. This may sound silly, but don't use fingerprints to unlock your phone, I don't know why this was invented bc anyone can drug / dose you and unlock your phone w your finger. Memorize a password duh. Same with your banks and money apps, do not have them auto-login or password saved. Every single person that have had money stolen while drugged is due to those. Come on, technology does make us lazy, and it's ok while at home on our day to day jobs, busy lifestyles. But if we're traveling to very poor countries with aggressive hawkers and gangsters everywhere, of which many wish to melt you for $20 why would you not adjust at least while there? I've worked in IT support and even in the states most consumer hacks / breaches which arent really hacks are due to lazy users or folks that auto-save every password in their browsers, phones, etc. Wives catching cheating husbands, vice and versa for using those features LOL. Yes these Col chicas will drug you and drain your accts so don't make it easy.
8. Stay away from dating apps, or do very very good video interviews. Do not do threesome unless it's with someone you've known for a while.
9. The comment above mentioned he was drugged on the 3rd date. Do yall remember the good ol mongering rule of "DO NOT REPEAT"? It is for this exact reason. Do not repeat dates with hawkers, and investigate better to confirm that they are truly non-pros if they claim to be. What's to stop them from lying? Nothing. So either become really good at it, or just void it. Guys who never repeat dates NEVER get in trouble and this is coming from the real Vets.
10. Best and true non-pros I've met and still experiencing with were not from dating apps. Someone who post an Ad as a gorgeous 20 year old female, seeking to date USA or Foreign Males from 18-90 years old is NOT a non-pro. Why would a normal girl, in college, living w parent, 20 years old with all her life ahead of her, want to be with a 50-90 year old man that barely speaks her language? She's a pro or after money; which will lead to greed and trouble. Yes, we've all read this a Million times that we're a Bank account to them at this point. Now, you could find a more honest one. Let's say a waitress, someone walking in the street or at work that you caught off guard; those interactions are more realistic due to the fact that she didn't target you, or had an Ad to go fishing for opportunities. You instead introduced yourself, asked her out and persuaded her like a real man does. So the internet and all these dating platforms are what's contributing to these problems.
I'm on my way back to Medellin in few days, I will likely stay for a Month or Two, or more since I work remotely LOL. Just broke up / ended things w couple local gfs so I will be in the hunt for new hunnies. I will post in that coming to town section for anyone who want to grab a beer. I'm reading some shit also which is good.
Cheers and be Safe Gentlemen!
[QUOTE=Orgasmico;2849138]the last few times I've visited the casas and / or El Centro in general, the talent has fallen off noticeably since the pandemic.

But the casas in El Centro have gone downhill.
Today is Sunday so maybe not the best day to judge, but I took a long walk from my place to El Centro. I saw a couple of doable ones around the statutes but there wasn't a lot that caught my eye. The street behind the museum was pretty disgusting. I would have to be with my peeps to want to hang around there. Didn't go into any strip clubs. They are doing construction and simultaneously crowd control around Botero so there are barriers up and other things to control the flow. On the way home, I saw a homeless type dude snatch a shopping bag from an old lady and run off in the Laureles area.
[QUOTE=BartSimpson5;2849204]Hi, I tried to send you message but it looks like you have PMs blocked. What bars for pick up girls you can recommend in Laureles? Thanks![/QUOTE]Seems like my subscription expired. Try the Medellin sports bar in the evenings, this is the bar in the San peter apartments, there will be 6-7 girls in the evenings. Try the hotel el dorado LA 70 lobby, there will be few girls there. There are couple of couple of bars next to Exito LA 70, one is Angels Bar Salsa why Musica Variada, there are plenty of girls here but you have to pay a bar fee to get the girl to your hotel room.
Also there are lot of prepago girls in the Amoblados La 70 Medellíand (google it), you will find them on the photoprepago website or pasionprepagos. Quality and price wise this is the best option in my opinion. I tried lots of prepago girls without an issue is laureles and it is usually safe. Please don't go out of laureles or el poblado area if you are venturing into prepago girls.

Staying at the Dann Carlton Hotel. Just wondering if anyone stayed here? Are they girl friendly? Do they charge a fee for guest? Thank you kindly.
Hey brothers, I am just posting this so we are all Vigilant and stay safe while visiting Medellin, but the unthinkable happened again:
Just saw this post from a day ago on Facebook, but this FB user below posted that an American was found dead in a hotel room due to being Scoped by a girl here. What is strange is that the hotel was not aware for 3 days he was dead. How on Earth did security let her slip out? I stay at the Royal Du Parc Hotel and security is very tight, with girls being required to furnish ID and me getting a call asking if everything is okay before she is allowed to leave the premises.

Medellin Expats.

It just keeps happening. Another American found dead in his hotel room yesterday In Medelland after visiting Parque Lleras. The 44 year old was found unconscious in his room after hotel staff had not seen him for three days. He was unconscious when they found him but later died. Foreigners who come here to party need to know by now those working girls would love to be doing anything other than working the streets and entertaining 55 year old gringos. They do it because they are either out of options economically and need to feed their kids or at the direction of a boyfriend. No you are not that cool. No You are not that attractive No they don't want to come to America. They want to clean your pockets Take as much money as they can from You and move on to the next as quickly as possible. If that means drugging you and getting away with even more and not having to entertain You some certainly will. The girls certainly are not Pharmacists so they are just guessing how much Scope to use. This is mostly directed at the self described Passport Bros who see the glam and glitter of Medelland on You tube and head over with 6 months of saved up cash and throw it around Lleras like a baller. You better save some of that cash for a transport back home in a casket. They will shoot you here for a I phone. Sorry and sad my fellow American lost his life in Such a beautiful country but Medelland is not Las Vegas.

Cheers and be Safe Gentlemen![/QUOTE]Pretty good, except #9 is garbage.
Most of the drugging that gets reported happens on the first date.
Whether it's the first or the fifth, you should still take the same precautions.
This board is mainly for useless banter, rarely does someone post actual trip report.
Medellin is indeed very hot this year, during my visit in Aug, this year, it was 31 degrees every day. No way on earth I could have stayed in Medellin without an AC. All of South America is quite hot this winter.
Barcelona Casa seems like interesting find. Which case is it closest to?
[QUOTE=JohnGault;2849033]No one has mentioned the weather in MDE. *.
I have been coming here since 2010 and it has never been this hot. I normally hate air conditioner's but now it is a must here now.
Anyway while taking my normal walk in Centro I was given a card for*.
Barcelona Casa CR 47 53-42. It was early in the day and I had not taken a shower yet. I would never take a girl in that state but I thought I could just go to check out the talent and pay the viewing fee and return later if someone strikes my fancy. The sign said 5 K fee if you did not partake in the festivities. I bought a water for 3 K and watched about 10 girls parade for me. 4 were very doable { *a 7 is my standard }. Before I* left I found out the fee for one hour is 70 K. I was very surprised as the lowest I have seen is 80 k and most others are 90 K for the hour. I did not ask about 30 minutes as I'm a hour guy. I guess buying a drink is good as was not asked for the 5 K fee as I went my way.
Please boys stop begging to pay 600 K. You guys are starting to blow my mind.[/QUOTE]
Does anyone else find the most interesting aspect of this news is that there seems to be no other mention of this anywhere else online?
If anyone has any other link to this news, post it.
Not seeing another word about this news has to make you wonder how many other similar incidents are unknown.
You can estimate the problem is at least twice as bad as it appears.
Read my recent post in Colombia general information and be careful.
Colombia has gone to hell. Can't believe so many are risking their lives for a little stanky.
Take it from a long term resident, it is fucking dangerous here now, real dangerous.
Everyone knows it even the USA Government knows it. Read their state department advisory now for Colombia.
It is no bullshit.
