[QUOTE=Ricker]Well said amigo.

I loved going to Medellin before it became popular!

Do I still enjoy it? Of course! But it was much better and cheaper before.

Imagine Loutron, the exclusive massage casa in Poblado, was expensive in my eyes just a few short years ago at 80k pesos. Hahaha.

San Diego of Medellin was a place where you could find some real gems for cheap. It's a bit different now eh?

I still have one place I go to in Medellin where I believe I am the only gringo to step foot in. Should I post about it here?

Well, I have to keep one place where I can still feel special.

I'm sure it will eventually be discovered.

I am pretty good friends with one of the owners of the Mansion / Castillo in Medellin. He says, Medellin sure isn't what it used to be with all the gringos coming in, but man is it good for business!

Take care[/QUOTE]This is spot on. Medellin is fast becoming too popular with gringos. I tend to stick to Bogota and Cali now where there are still tons of places where you can find gems and good prices.

Its about midnight and I can't seem to get any sleep. I have spent the last hour reading different reports and I decided to add to the thread.

I see that some of the guys have used the different websites to try to line up girls that are non-pro, more cultured or anything else than the regular P4P. I have some great experiences with that and some bad ones. *one big thing to note you have to either be single or have a great amount of alone time since this is a time investment and its very hard to accomplish in less than 3 months.

A little background on who I am since I have been a member for a while but really not posted very much.

I was born in Latin America but I grew up my whole life in the States, which creates a little dilemma. To everyone who knows me they would refer to me as Hispanic because of my name and birth place but everyone I meet in Latin American countries refers to me as a Gringo because I never really lived in Latin America and grew up in the States. My Spanish is perfect but dated since I learned it at home and school yet I don't know the local idioms people are using.

In the last few years I really started to travel more to Latin America and I have spent time in Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. Usually with a gf and then solo or with a buddy to do some mongering.

Ok, back to the website story. I was surfing the Web and I ran across a site [url]www.latinamericancupid.com[/url] and decided to check it out. I had never used a and online dating site and decided what the hell lets see how this turns out.

I posted my profile, some good pics, riding motorcycles, pics from other cities, Paris, London and then I worked on my profile. The gist of my message was that I wanted to meet women that I shared similarities and were interested in a friendship and more (pure BS, I just wanted some hot ass but obviously I could not put that)

The site lets you send winks, or emails since initially did not have a good plan I was all over the place and the responses were lame. Specially since I was not getting any from the hottest girls.

I devised a new and created an email template (I spent some time really playing with the words so the women could dig it) that was personal enough but I could quickly adjust for each girls profile. I then created a list of all the women I wanted to meet and sent it out (when you are creating a list in the website you can use filters, I did no kids, age 21-35, college educated, Very attractive to attractive looks and athletic body types). I called it the shotgun approach, blast it to everyone and see what happens.

Initally I sent it out to about 50 women in different cities in Colombia, I got back about 65-70% response rate. I then followed up with a second email asking them to send me a recent photo with the date stamp and I attached recent pics of me so they would get the point. This time I still had a response rate better than 50%. Now I started to prioritize who I wanted to meet. I discarded cities I would not go to, and I focused on Medellin, Bogota, Pereira, Manizales and Armenia.

After the first to emails came the chatting on MSN, at this point you will realize that some are more interested than others and the list begins to get smaller. Also once I started chatting with them the personalities come out and some are just not my type. Finally I had a list of about 10 girls that I was in regular contact with and then I made my travel plans.

I have to tell you that I went to Medellin in May of 2006, with a buddy of mine (born in the US but raised in Venezuela, speaks English with a think accent and all, total opposite of my situation) and started to hook up with these girls. Most of them I went out twice or three times before I got laid and all of them where from el Poblado. With 3 I met the parents and 1 even took me to the private club her family is a member of.

I totally agree with some of the posts regarding the class system in Colombia and I use it to my advantage. I know that there are some hot poor girls but I want a girl with some class, educated, and that has a good network of friends. Mejor rosca en Medellin. Also the higher educated girls tend to not have kids, can afford the gym, have passports and many of them visas.

I will have to write a separate report on the ones that came over to the states to visit me.

The website has worked so well that usually before a trip to Colombia I start up again 3 of 4 months before and go at it.

I will post some pics of the girls I met, but I have to block out the faces since they are regular girls and they deserve a little privacy.

I will be leaving for Medellin in 2 days I have some other girls lined up for this trip. I think they will even be better than the ones from last time.

You never see many Gringos near my estrato 4 house for example.

You can have Cali. There are just too many problems there these days.

And I do not accept the theory that Gringos ruin things anyway. Some of my best friends are Gringos. Wait, hell, I am a Gringo too.

The amount of stupid cunts I see walking around with these hot birds buying them fkn whatever they want and thinking the girl actually loves/likes them is ridiculous.

If you want to frequent those places only, you are hopeless anyway. And you aren't going to know enough to say that anything is ruined anyway.

I agree with you above all to the terms of class and education. Good report! But tell me, where did you stay in Medellin?

Hello,

I have been using aTel 3 advantage calling card to call Colombia. This card is the type that is rechargeable, and I am suppose to be paying only 12 cents a minute from the United States to call cellular phones with billing at one minute increments. However, this is not the case, as I am being billed according to my call history that is viewable on the internet for 2 minute increments, and for calls that do not go through, such as dead time, or if the call goes through but is not answered. I have contacted Tel 3 Advantage many times in the past about this situation, only to be told that I will be reimbursed, and my complaint will be expedited to the technicians, only to never have anything done. In any even event this gets quite expensive, which brings me to my question:

What is the preferred calling method, and with whom, for you members who regularly call Colombia?

Thanks again for the info.!

This post is in reference to my inquiry below on what is the best companies to use for calling Colombia.

MiamiHeatLuver provided me the names of a couple excellent referrals I would like to share with the board. If anyone uses these companies send MiamiHeatLuver a message, as they pay a small bonus for referrals, and since this is his information, I would like to see him get the benefits from it.

[url]www.3utelecom.com[/url] which has one second billing, and [url]www.pingo.com[/url]

Thanks MiamiHeatLuver for the info., however, I am also not sure how much of a luver you are for your Miami Heat these days. ;)

Hope that helps

It lists $0.081 per minute to Medellín, Bogotá is $0.065, and cell is $0.156. This is a clean card that charges in 1-min, increments and has no other fees. No answer=no charge.

I'm sure you can find something cheaper. Just watch out for extra fees. I went with a little higher price to get clear of those extra fees.

I would use Skype. It is from your computer and if you go pro for $25 a year you get a voicemail box and lowered rates to overseas and free inter US. Cheap home back up and can use from anywhere on your laptop.

Inexpensive, no roundups, no probs, recharge, auto recharge.

Have fun!

I've been using the Phone Out feature on Yahoo Messenger for almost 2 years. I call my novia every week. Some rates: Bogota $0. 039, Cali $0. 039, Medellin $0. 069, Colombia mobile $0. 109.

It requires downloading the free client software, a computer/laptop and broadband internet connection. There are no extra fees, including no monthly fee and no connection charge. You can call another computer for no charge. Or to call a phone, prepay the Phone Out account. You're only charged for the time you use in 1 min increments.

Escort King, stop wasting bandwith. If you travel somewhere, please post your experience! Nobody cares about tidbits. We can find them on our own.

We all know that you want to be a senior memeber. But you must travel and report back like a member like Ricker. That person has been probably the best single source of information for people looking for information.

Remember, we are hear to learn and report back on our experiences! If you don't travel, don't report anything!

I get a kick out of the Escort King tidbits, like when someone posted a recent foto of chicas at the Medellin Mansion pool, Escort posts: those chicas are pros at the Mansion.

Great info eh? Hahahaha

No big deal. I get the feeling he's a nice cat, just trying to get involved.

But watch out, I've recently invaded Brasil y Argentina. I'm studying Portugues like a MF hahahaha.

I'm using all my skills down further south to shmoooze the chicas / garotas that have been gringo invaded and spoiled much before Colombia was popular.

Remember, Ricker's #1 rule of chica hunting / schmoozing: You really have to able to speak the language. Of course you can hunt without that skill, but then you are just another gringo dummy with a wallet, looking for sex.

Speaking the lingo trully opens doors, and if you've got any pizaz in your personality and can make the chicas laugh and / or feel comfortable, take them out of their professional mode, the prices come tumbling down.

Heading to Colombia for about a week in a couple days. Mis Colombianas are getting restless that I'm spending too much time further south.

Cali for sure and maybe a side trip first to Barranquilla or perhaps to visit mi amigo, senor Castillo, in Medellin. Decisions decisions

Take care amigos!
