Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Zeos1;3009705]I find some irony in this whole discussion. 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.[/QUOTE]I agree. This whole website is basically guys looking for hookers and not guys looking for love and marriage or a long term girlfriend. To complain about dating sites being invaded by mongers and working girls is quite ironic for someone who is on this website. Thai Friendly in Pattaya is the same way as a great way for guys to find working girls and hookers.

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;3009643]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.[/QUOTE]I should add that I do not target Medellin. I focus on other cities in Colombia and other South and Central American countries. I have spent 2 nights in Medellin wifed up with a VZ lady from Bogota and Medellin was not my cup of tea. Small sample size though, so I may give it another try when I am not wifed up. I enjoyed Guatape more.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;3009711]Out with the old; in with the new. 100% agree with everything you said. 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.[/QUOTE]Agree wholeheartedly and good plan you have. There's so many scammer tells. Doubtful I will pay for Cupid anymore. There response is lazy, incompetent and inaccurate. They just can't be bothered to earn their subscription fees.

Someone said they found a GF from one of the sites in another country and that sounds like a good move as well. I don't assume everyone on the this website has the same mindset, objective or MO.

As stated, for purely transactional exchanges in Medellin, there are websites dedicated to that specific purpose. You don't need a paid subscription to use them. Probably better for avoiding the scammers as well.

I am Malaysian I do not stand out in crowed when I go to El Centro, in MDE specially El Centro after 8 pm I had zero problems.

My to go places in El Centro are Playmates Bar after 7 pm, and during the day time around plaza Botaro.

Same Plaza Borato girls dolled up and go to Park and ask 400 K.

As long as you are inside the club / Establishment you are fine. Uber picks me up right infront of the club.

[QUOTE=Nomars777;3009514]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![/QUOTE]

Hey gents, it's been about 3 to 3. 5 years since I was in Medellin and it seems a lot has happened since then. Does parque lleras still got plenty of skinny young Venecas loitering around? If so what's the current rate?

On my first trip I did Airbnb. Approached the girls on the street, took a cab to the apartment in Poblado, so very close, Didn't drink around the girls and pretty much kicked them out once finished. I never had any trouble. Should I expect any different this time around? I also had good luck with some gorgeous college girls I met on tinder.

Convince me I'm wrong.

The old retired guys here seem very content. They take the precautions necessary not to be drugged and robbed and the ones that I have talked to have not had any issues so far. Because they are retied, they tend to visit for a few months at a time or live here now. They are all very sexually satisficed. Some have girlfriends now. Most have a stable of regular girls that they see and trust. They generally don't engage in the type of debates you see on this thread and don't really care what others pay. It is a very different experience for them because they have time and are in no rush.

You made a controversial statement about Botero girls in Lleras. I know it to be true but I'm also fascinated by the energy of of the disputes and denials. To be honest, I first became aware of it by watching youtube videos. I was surprised by how many of the girls I recognized. I've been to Lleras maybe five times in the past year. On the other, there are weeks when I'm in Botero Plaza three or four times. I respect the hustle. It makes perfect sense girls would risk the gauntlet of pimps, aggressively territorial venezolanas and police hassles for a chance to collect almost 10 times their normal fee.

[QUOTE=RedKing18;3009831]Western laws made hookers safer and a better option than marriage and turned the vast majority of women into quasi hookers. Convince me I'm wrong.[/QUOTE]You are wrong. The hookers have always been there. It is just that today they are not ashamed to advertise it openly, and certain websites and social media platforms allow them to. Because there are many, you are falsely assuming it is the vast majority, which it is not.

For those that live here or visit frequently, you quickly notice that a disproportionate number of the best looking girls come from Bello. We were in the park last night and as always sifting through the usual suspects when we came across a group of 4 girls that we had never seen before. Dressed nice but not too slutty, they just stood out from all the rest. We chatted them up and sure enough Bello girls. We invited them to go to La 70 with us where we bounced around to a few different places, dancing and and everyone having a good time. Luckily my buddy's airbnb is just off of la 70, so we all stumbled back to his place around 3:30, two girls fell asleep on the sofa, and my buddy and I paired up with the other 2. Waking up with this 21 year old hottie asleep next to me, priceless.

Is Lutron still open up in the mountain? I remember the legendary Line ups.

[/QUOTE]Hard for me to say that because there are beautiful women all over Medellin. There are a lot of pretty girls that live in the various barrios in and around Medellin. Bello does have its share, no doubt. I know someone that has lived there for about 10 years and he loves it.

[/QUOTE]For what it's worth, many girls will say that so that they can demand a larger uber / taxi fee home or when they visit you in the future. Girls have been pulling that for the nearly 15 years I've been going to Medellin.
