Medellin Reports

Just stay away from the Prado girls, at least the ones described in e article: Minors mostly and drug users.

I would highly recommend San Antonio for the sheer number of girls there. Trust me, lots of girls who need "plata"

Here is what I recommend you do and say (in Spanish) :

1- open up a conversation with a greeting, smile and eye contact.

1- Buenos Dias.

2- ask for direction or location of a park, store, market. Etc. Yes this shit works!

2- Por favor, done esta el Éxito?

3- "pay attention here" no matter how she responds to your inquiry, you say " and WHERE are you going MY LOVE"? With a big smile and body lean towards her.

3- Y tu a theónde vas mi amor?

4- Asks her if she likes to join you for refreshments or a walk.

4- Quieres acompañarme a tomar una gaseosa?

5- Just ask about what she does, work, school, family, who works in the family. IT'S A JOB INTERVIEW / QUALIFIER. Got it?

5- Haaa. Tu estudias, trabajas? Mama o papa trabaja?

6- This is the most important question to ask her now: And How is your financial situation? BEST QUESTION.

6- Y como esta tu situacióand económica?

7- Here you must pay attention to what she says: Solicit her offering monetary assistance for her needs mentioned in her response. Offer a specific amount and ask if that's okay.

7- Me gustaría pasarlo rico contigo why darte ayuda monetaria para tus necesidades. Esta bien 50 Lucas?

Don't hesitate, worry about others watching you, or think you may offend the girls.

i am worried to read all these naif comments about girls hanging around the metro stations of el centro. anyone who goes around the city, and does not stick only to p. que lleras, high-end strip clubs, or the mansion gringo-oriented hotels, should know the situation very well. what are the news reported in this press article? only old well-known stories.

the centro area around the prado station is one of the most dangerous at night. i never had problems walking around at night alone there, even at 2am, but with extreme caution and low-profile look. the average reader of this forum, especially naif gringoes with little local experience or sensitivity to the danger temperature, should simply stay away from that kind of tours. i feel uncomfortable reading last posts, because i think that they may work as bait for some ass-hole, who will be finally robbed if not worst.

several of that girls, but not so many as someone claims, are ****. years ago, i've seen very young girls around the streets of prado in the night or at daytime, much less today, because the police is stricter in enforcing control. i bet police is just waiting the yummy opportunity to catch a naif gringo entering a door with some girl, who is later discovered 16yo.

most of them are glue-sniffers, are not attractive at all, and do not come alone. they are friends of all the young teen gangsters who are the real danger there: with or without a knife, if 5 of them jump on you, you can do nothing but surrender. in 10 seconds, they will take everything from your pockets, including the cheapest items. i've seen this done many times to lonely guys at 10 meters from me.

besides how ethically questionable it is, should you decide to venture alone with one of those glue-sniffers in a hotel room, consider the following:
- almost all hotels ask cedula, at least to those who do not look clearly above 18 (that is, no **** allowed)
- the very few hotels, which are more liberal on this side and/or allow a glue sniffer on their premises regardless the age, are also the most sketchy ones (that is, you may be robbed inside, by your young glue-sniffer or by her friends)
- the streets, where such hotels are, are alleys populated by those gangs; you will be tracked in and out by attentive eyes.

Can someone be kind enough to translate?[/QUOTE]In view of users daily use Metro system in Medellin, in different seasons and without anyone doing anything against subtracting the situation, a group of men and women use this means of mass transportation to sell their bodies to whom are in place.

It is the reality that a group of researchers found Corporation Urban Conflict Consulting Center C3 Medellin, developed over several months in different Metro stations.

In this study demonstrate how those engaged in this activity addresses to users, especially tourists, to provide sexual services or company,"to make your visits more enjoyable."

"The situation is due to the increase in tourists to Medellin and the so-called sex tourism. Poverty makes many young people see in this so-called offer a rare opportunity,"said Luis Guillermo Pardo, sociologist and president of C3.

According to Pardo, prostitution unfolds through networks using the subway as a stage for their illegal business, through various ways to approach potential customers, ranging from the crowd locate single men or groups of men who are "in are fun "or to provide sexual services directly.

Even a corporate investigator services were offered at Acevedo Station and then a cab Metrocable Santo Domingo, a place in which a child said,"This over here is very lively" and then offered a side "if you want to go with what you know" or "if you want to spend rich", and handed him a card from a residence hotel in the area.

The investigation established the main stations which presents this activity:

1. San Antonio Station: "Teen platforms roam in search of potential customers, are changed from one to another, camouflaging among travelers leaving and entering the subway, there mostly tourists contact".

Two. Berrio Park Station: "In the central access area, before entering the system, have become traditional men's groups have there meeting point for offering to masters are located exactly on the sides of the post of donuts, periphery access platform and stairs ".

Three. Prado station: "In the southern access stairs, minors are placed in such access and offer their services on the day, from early hours and at night."

April. Acevedo Station: "On the platform, there are tourists contacted by groups of girls. Some weekday use their school uniforms to capture more customers, who are taken to nearby hotels."

May. Metrocable Santodomingo: "We contact the customer in the same cabin."

Finally, the President of the Corporation Urban Conflict Consulting Center, C3, Luis Guillermo Pardo, expressed concern about the lack of attention to the issue by the authorities and operational staff of the Metro, especially Berrio Stations and Prado, who despite knowing the problem do nothing to fix it.

The research also revealed that prostitution activities are developed by minors, with a serious increase in the Feria de las Flores and other city events.

[QUOTE=Dickhead;1423442]That's the worst fucking translation I have ever seen. Makes no sense at all. We can all run an article through whatever half assed on line translator you used. "Teen platforms roam"? WTF does that mean? "Prostitution activities are developed by minors"? "Ranging from the crowd locate single men"? Does that sound like English to you?[/QUOTE]We USE Google.

[quote=brasilsoccer0; 1423458]great article!

here is what we can learn from it: make approaches while in the metro station!

this is a great venue and i am not surprised at all. i remember especially in "san antonio" station seeing lots of young pretty girls every time i pass by on my way to the "hueco" market to solicit girls there. never did occur to me these girls were semi-pros. wow.

i will surely venture there on my next trip and share the findings. boy i wish i was there now.

maybe some monger can step up and solicit these girls in the metro and report back.[/quote]i rarely dare to disagree with anyone on this board but i have to on this one. i think this is bad news. the reports (both in english and spanish) clearly are focused on the fact these are mostly minors (which is sad) and second, this kind of publicity is not good at all. the last thing we want in the media are reports of "sex tourism with **** boys and girls in mde" in the western media.

Now that I have your attention. Sorry.

I am heading to Medellin for the first time in less than two weeks. I am pretty excited. If any of you more experienced people would like to give a n00b any tips please feel free to PM me here.

[quote=vitrea;1423656]this kind of publicity is not good at all. the last thing we want in the media are reports of "sex tourism with **** boys and girls in mde" in the western media.[/quote]which was possible years ago, but almost not anymore, unless one does not want to be involved with criminal gangs. the last thing i want to see is a line of assholes coming here with such a wrong idea in their mind, and, second, seeing the police reacting by making life difficult also to honest people like the majority of the readers of this forum.

if you have a short trip of two weeks or less stick to the usual spots. find some people you can trust to get other girls such as friends, taxi drivers, and through other girls you have been with.

if you have an extended trip you should be able to find whatever you are looking for without resorting to hanging around metro stations. it starts with this question. what can i do to get to the girls in the strata 3 or lower barrios that have no experience around gringos? if you can't answer this question, these girls are not for you. also, the answer to this question is not walking around in these barrios or looking for them on facebook.

Thanks for the translations and the added info. I will try the metro next time I am there, though I do not, absolutely do not recommend anyone to mess around in Santo Domingo or San javier, (comuna 13).

Ok, let me just state what I assumed was obvious (conventional wisdom) :

1- No sex with minors: Whether it be in Medellin or Detroit, USA.

2- No soliciting of sex with minors. Whether it be in Medellin or London, Uk.

3- No wandering around anywhere late at night looking for prostitutes: Whether it be Medellin or Toronto, Canada.

That being said, I still recommend doing what I mentioned previously.

Enjoy new ventures!

My business in medellin will be close to estadio metro metro stop.

Where is the best mongering there? Best prives? Best motels? Best freelancers? Best termas?

I am mainly a Brazil / Rio monger. Looking forward to PM with the Medellin veterans on this board.
