Paying for Uber / Didi / Taxi for gals
[QUOTE=Diviant;2647672]I wanted to ask about the Uber, I use it when I travel, so sparsely. Do you order the ride on your phone or just reimburse. On the later, I would assume they try to say it was a long. Way.[/QUOTE]There are few ways of doing it:
First of all, there is one big advantage of arranging her transportation: you know where she is and when she will arrive, vs waiting around for her to show up.
Plus, girls are more likley to show up if you pay their transportation. Some of them are flat broke.
On Uber you can select "arrange a ride for someone else" or something, but it never seemed to work that well, so normally I just get the adress and put that as the pickup adress and your own adress as the destination, then just message the driver and say in Spanish "the passengers name is xxx and her number is xxx" so he can call her if he can't find her. I found that method worked well.
You can pay credit card or cash when they arrive. Didi drivers especially seemed to prefer cash.
Sometimes drivers cancell, which is a pain. One time I couldn't find an Uber for a gal so she just jumped in a cab and I met her on arrival and paid him cash.
Taxis / Ubers etc are dirt cheap in Bogota. A 45 minute ride might cost 30,000 COP, which is $8 USD. Its so cheap its not even worth thinking about. Its the price of a Bic Mac and fries where I live.
Yelow cabs are also a good option if you are on the streets. Just hail one and go. They seem like swarms of yellow locusts, they are everywhere in Bogota.
One girl arrived on the back of a motorcycle. Cheaper than a cab I guess.
The only problem I had was with Didi. A girl from down south got a Didi to meet me. The damn car broke down in the middle of a slum half way to my place. She was panicking and didn't have the money to get home and didn't have much data left on her phone. I could have been a dick and said is your problem, but I thought that would have been mean. So I said, ok send me your location and I will come and get you. Just as we were coordinating things the driver managed to start the car, and she made it to my place. Haha.
A Nightmare on New Years Eve
While I'm in the mood let me just relay a little story from Bogota on New Years Eve, 2021.
I was in Bogota over the holidays, and I was having too much fun in Santa Fe, on Seeking and elsewhere.
Everything was running like clockwork. Ok, I did get robbed by a streetwalker in SF who stuck her sticky fingers into my pants pocket, but that was my own stupid fault for being careless.
So it was all fun and games, and then along came new years eve.
A girl from out of town was with me, and as it got to late afternoon the subject of what to do on new years eve came up.
I wasnt sure, so we asked the security guard at the lobby of the building. He assured us that there would be a huge party in Plaza Bolivar with fireworks and the whole nine yards. Well, that place was about 20 minute walk from my apartment so we thought tht being new years eve it would be hard to get a taxi, so we planned to walk down there.
So at about 11 pm we set off walking to the Plaza on Carrera 7 which is a pedestrianised street which is normally bustling but was now pretty quiet and all the stores were shuttered. In fact there were few people around but we guessed they would all be down near the Plaza. So we kept on walking.
After about ten or fifteen minutes as we got nearer to the Plaza the people got less and less. There were one or two cops and a few homeless and other low lifes hanging around in doorways. It was weird because we thought this is where crowds of people would streaming to the plaza. Anyway, we were committed now so we kept walking, but a bit faster now, and a bit more nervously.
Then we got to the Plaza. It is huge place, about the size of red Square in Moscow. And it was absolutely fucking deserted. There were two people in that square, and they were me and my gal.
Fuck, it must have been cancelled. For Covid, or lack of money, or who knows why. So now we were at least 20 minutes walk away from my apartment in downtown Bogota at midnight with nobody around.
But it turned out, there were people around. In fact there were several people, hanging around in shadows, in doorways, and they were looking right at us. One blond haired gringo and his gal in a place they had no business being. So we turned round and started walking back. Then my gal said two words to me:
"I'm scared".
So I said, no its fine, lets just walk back. But guess what I was thinking:
You arent the only one.
But of course a man with balls wouldn't show he was scared with his gal next to him. Right?
And the next thing I thought was:
This is going to be a fucking long walk.
I also thought I must the the dumbest fucker in Bogota.
Anyway, I rationalised, the worst that could happen is that we get robbed at knifepoint. Well maybe that's not the worst, but still.
So we kept walking, faster and faster. And those eyes kept looking.
Then she says:
" Lets get an Uber".
Get an Uber. At midnight on new years eve. In a deserted downtown. So we would probably have to wait forever for the Uber to show up. Which didn't seem like a great idea.
So we just kept walking straight down the middle of that deserted shithole street that is Carrera 7. And just then a rat scuttled across the street in front of us. And it seems he stopped for a moment as if to say what the FUCK are you doing here?
Just then we passed another couple who were standing nervously on a street corner. So maybe we werent the only people who grossly miscalculated. So we just kept walking.
Then just at that moment a cab drove by on a cross street. And we started running and waving and shouting at him like someone shipwrecked on desert island when a plane flys over. And guess what. He just kept going. Fuck. And just at that moment my gal looked like she was going to cry.
And then the Christmas miracle happened. The cab stopped a block away. And guess what. He started reversing. And he kept reversing, until he stopped right next to where we were standing. And we got in. And it just proves that praying doesn't work, because I haven't been to church for years.
Anyway, he started driving away immediately because it seemed even he didn't want to be in that fucking place. Then we gave him the adress of my place, but he seemed a little confused. It turned out the couple who were standing on the street corner had ordered this cab and he was supposed to pick them up. So we had basically stolen their cab. Not knowingly but stolen it nonetheless. But when the driver realised he said fuck it lets go. So we did.
So as we drove away I realised that in a few minutes I would be back home, safe, in my apartment with 24/7 security and Netflix. And with my gal in bed beside me.
And just when I thought we had dodged a bullet, my gal said to the driver:
"Do know any places we can go to celebrate?
And the driver said:
"Yeah, I know a place, its in the barrio".
So just at the moment when I thought we were going home safe this gal asks the driver to take us to the middle of the exact place where I had been told to NEVER set foot.
And is why, my friends, if women did not have a pussy, we would build a fortress with 50 foot walls and banish them to the outside to be eaten by wolves.
So I looked at her with a look that said, are you out of your fucking mind?
So we drove a while to some place in the middle of fucking nowhere. And it looked like the perfect place for the buddies of this cab driver to jump out and do whatever the fuck they do to dumb gringos who stumble into the wrong neighbourhood.
And it ended up that there was no fucking party, or gang of hoodlums. It was just as simple as the cab driver inflating his fare by driving round neighbourhoods letting his meter fare accumulate at the request of the dumb b**** sitting next to me.
So I said lets just go back to my place. Now.
And we did.
So we ended up in my apartment, just after midnight, without even a scratch. So maybe this cat only has 8 lives left, but hes still purring. The good news is, from my 22nd floor window I was able to look across at the barrio and see all the fireworks shooting into the sky. You could even hear the occasional rat-tat tat of automatic weapon fire mixed in with the boom-boom of the rockets. And for some reason my bed that night night felt so much more comfy than usual.
Pay for it and go invisible.
[QUOTE=TheCane;2647957]I started a new Seeking account and have been focusing here in the States. In less than a week, I already had my first meet and greet set up! Wrote about it in the Seeking Arrangements thread. I can only imagine what it would be like in Colombia or Brazil or some place like that. Lots of scammers and stuff, but plenty of "legit" too. I have women from all over Latin America and the rest of the world contacting me. I hide anybody not in my area. Can't deal with all of that![/QUOTE]Why would anyone want every ho in Latin America be able to contact / bother him A SD flies above the crowd and take what he wants. LOL I spend way too many hours a day talking with hot, available girls, no time for the barrio chicks. Unless I am in Bogota. LOL YMMV but at lease change the size of the net your using.
