Medellin Reports

I have a trip after a few weeks. My flight will arrive at MDE at around 9 pm Wednesday and I am expected to be ready to go downtown at 11:30 pm or 12 am.

I know many prefer picking up girls near Parque Lleras but I am afraid if it is too late. Maybe I can try Parque Lleras on the next day?

What can be done quickly at 12 am for a short fun?*I heard that La Isla club is expensive.

Fase Dos and Luna Lunera are a better option? They are strip clubs and does not have its own rooms for a short play?

What about Gusto club? Is it packed with working girls? Or any other suggestions?

Airbnb / hotels (if I booked for two) mostly allow a girl as a guest when I pick up and take a girl to my room? And the girl's ID is strictly checked?

I expect clubs accept credit cards. But do girls accept COP only, not USD?

Thanks,

[/QUOTE]Midnight is the start of the night in Latino time so you'll be fine. Gusto doesn't even really start filling up until like 11 pm. So you are pretty much hitting the sweet spot if you are trying to hit up Lleras around midnight.

[QUOTE=Sp1000;3009425] I am expected to be ready to go downtown at 11:30 pm or 12 am. [/QUOTE]Do you really want to hang out in El Centro at that time of night?

All joking aside, the area around Botero gets increasingly sketchy after 8 PM and honestly, I wouldn't be wandering around at midnight, just a bad idea. No vendors are out, hardly any police, a handful of not usually the most attractive girls and a whole bunch of drug dealers, robbers, etc. I just wouldn't be out at midnight around there, but if you're an extreme risk taker, go for it and let us know how it is!!

As someone else noted, Lleras only *really* starts getting busy around 10 PM, is truly popping about 11:30 PM-Midnight, and if you already have an Airbnb near there, then I'd just stay in that area. Lleras and surrounding streets get FULL of girls by 2 AM when some of the bars / clubs start shutting down and if they haven't already had a client, and many haven't, then the window between 2-3 AM is usually an ideal time to grab a girl, negotiate a better price because she's about to take the taxi ride home with no client money in her purse, and have some fun. I've been out all night in Lleras area, no problems, lots of police around, lots of regular vendors / beer stands / etc. Are open, so you're much safer, but still keep your eyes open and don't get too drunk or high (if that's your thing), as it can easily lead you to some serious problems.

Enjoy and please report back!

The strip clubs are survivable at that hour, assuming you arrive and leave by ride share app. In a pinch you can get the doormen to get you taxis but that can be risky.

Thanks,[/QUOTE]Parque LLeras is just getting ramped up at 11:00 pm, not dangerous at all late at night, just don't be a drunken idiot and take a taxi, Uber or Indrive when you leave. When you say "downtown" I hope you don't mean El Centro because that is not a place for most people after dark.

[QUOTE=KeviKev68;3009424]It took me awhile to find a workaround and I only have a a 5 minute wait.

I tried American Airlines and they got in late which is after 1 pm and I was stuck in line. Another option is fly to Bogota and go through immigration there and then it would be a domestic flight. I only got that option with Avianca.

I only fly Jetblue now redeye from west coast and I get the first flight to MDE and it arrives at noon or so. There's no line. I always upgrade to the first 3 aisles so I can get to front of the line.

I don't know if it's still the same.[/QUOTE]The time you spend going through an extra airport completely makes up for the time not spent in line at MDE, most likely taking you longer actually and certainly not cost effective. I looked into it myself but it makes no sense to me.

However, there are some flights that will fly directly to Bogota as the layover city and then from there fly to Medellin. So it is not an extra flights and it is not extra time. It just means that you will go to immigration in Bogota and not Medellin.

Patience is a virtue and you can fuck yourself by not being patient.

[QUOTE=KeviKev68;3009167]That site is dated. Lots older women and plain Janes. Tinder is far better for what you pay.[/QUOTE]I completely agree. I used to use Latin American and Colombian Cupid with great success, but the scammers have infiltrated those sites / apps too. I'm not even a paying member and I am getting likes, favorited and messages daily on both sites despite logging on once a week or so.

So many obvious non-Latinas pretending to be in Colombia or in other central / South American countries and some use other countries in Europe, Asia, Africa or even USA as their home. Totally missed the Latina part of these sites. If I wanted Asian or African, there's International Cupid or other Asian based Cupid sites.

These scammers all have the same pattern. One picture, minimal information on their profile and won't do video calls (duh)!

So not worth the fee anymore. I find Bumble and Tinder better, but you have to pay for a subscription to use travel mode. I've got to find out who owns the Cupid sites and email them, as it is clear they do ZERO screening. I'd estimate half the profiles are fake now. I hate being unpaid quality control for the Cupid empire. Their quality has severely dropped off. Maybe even post some bad reviews on Google Store and anywhere else visible to potential subscribers. There were always fake profiles and Western Union chicas before, but now the fakes have gotten out of control.

And thanks for your concern, MongerHunger.

By watching youtube about the atmosphere of Parque Lleras, I had misconception that Parque Lleras is a part of downtown.

I will stay near Parque Lleras and will be around that area at night.

In terms of girl-friendly accommodation, unfortunately, I already see some Airbnbs indicate zero tolerance for sex tourists, haha. Something that I haven't seen in other cities.

[QUOTE=Guerinto;3009600]I completely agree. I used to use Latin American and Colombian Cupid with great success, but the scammers have infiltrated those sites / apps too. [/QUOTE]I go all the way back to sites like [URL]Amigos.Com[/URL] and Badoo. These sites were goldmines in places like the DR and Colombia. Cupid was even good about 6 years ago.

All of these sites have now been taken over by scammers, hookers, semis, webcam models, Tranis, scope queens, chicas past their expiration dates and tricks so a lot of the regular people that they were designed for no longer use these sites in places like Medellin. When it became a popular strategy for sex tourists, a decent chica would get 6,000 messages in one day. More quality chicas have shifted to FB and IG, which allow for better screening and require a bit more effort for creeps and stalkers.

Perhaps in other cities it's different? Also, there are sites like mileroticos for guys looking for hookers so no need to flood dating sites.

The idea that dating sites are no longer just that, but have been taken over by hookers, etc. At the same time everyone on this board are looking for hookers, essentially. Some hope to find non hookers and essentially make them into hookers, but no one on this board is looking for real dating and certainly not relationships. In reality most here are mongers looking for short term sex, but not really interested in dating and finding a partner or even a real relationship, and pretending otherwise is deceptive. So no wonder the word gets out and these sites no longer work well for real dating or relationships.

I have been a paying member on Latin American Cupid for 20 years. I wrote them back in April complaining about the amount of scammers. They replied that it basically comes with the territory. So many ways they can screen them out, but they do not, so I will vote with my feet. My yearly membership expires tomorrow and I will not be renewing.

In addition to the ways you have written about how to detect the scammers, you can also tell by the setting in their pictures. The insides of houses do not look the same in the USA as they do in Colombia, as they do in Brazil, as they do in the Dominican Republic, and so on. If you have been to these places then you can tell right off the pictures are not the place their profile is claiming they are.

That being said, I met my newest girlfriend on Bumble. She just turned 23. I am 53. The first thing I said to her is that those pictures do not look like the Dominican Republic. She said they are not. She had taken them when she visited family in Texas. Turned out to be legit. I have since visited her at home in the Dominican Republic and last month she came to visit me at my house in the States for 10 days.

The lifetime Bumble membership only cost 2 years of what the Cupid membership did and it can be used worldwide. I have used it in various countries including Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Thailand, Korea, and Philippines to name a few.
