Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=WiltTheStilt; 1474262]It's easy to get a girlfriend for a week, sure, but you're basically finding someone who wants to give you a higher level of companionship at a more reasonable price. Keep fooling yourself that girls want to sleep with you almost immediately and hang around the entire time you're in town because of your Spanish skills and charm. Those things are near requisites, but the cash in your pocket is still the sine qua non here. On top of that, as you can see, there are guys here with mixed levels of ability and comfort.

I have had non pro GFs here, what some would call semi-pros (a dumb term, I'll reiterate) and even full on pros for short flings. But I'm not going to pretend my experience applies to everyone. And if it is so great with just a little effort, why advertise it? I get the feeling a lot of people come here to feel secure about themselves. Like meth addicts who smoke it and look down on the people who spike it. Just relax, we can help each other out without tooting our own horns or figuring everyone is in the exact same position.[/QUOTE]Why are we still on this topic? I'm not trying to be a hater; just the opposite in that I'm keeping it real with the New Kids and Rookies. Keep it simple, use common sense, and be real. If you're not pulling any sort of chicks in your home country what makes you think you can pull chicks in a place where you don't even speak the language? No funny joke, no clever one liners, no charming compliment, no playful banter can be told to a girl that does not speak English and if you don't speak Spanish you up shit's creek. If you're "Tom Brady" handsome then you're not going to have any issues in any country! Blond hair and blue eyes are an advantage as the old adage "Opposites Attract" and clearly in most of South America and Asia people have darker features so "ojos claros" are very desired. As they are for us gringos too!

The "Hey look a Gringo! I'd like to fuck him" affect has long passed.

If you have to ask "Where do I pick up girls in ________" you need more help then you think. Same places as every country BRO! Bars, Clubs, Mall, Ect. Just say hello and strike up a conversation. If she smiles back and you can make her laugh you on a good path. If she looks away and does not really engage you need to cut your losses and move on. It's pretty much like a sales job it's a numbers game, keep asking, keep smiling, and with some luck you'll close a deal or two! Once again Spanish language skills come into play.

If you do get a number from the Legendary Regular Girl don't be butt-hurt if rings off the hook or goes right to voice mail. The "Paisa Game" is well documented on the boards and experienced first hand by the Mede veteranos that the girls don't want to hurt your feelings or a awkward situation so they give you one number and use a different sim card. If they do pick up, you make a date, don't be surprised if she flakes last second or ghosts totally.

Here it is.

Take notes and use common sense (I'm young, fun, decent looking, and yes I have "game" both Foreign and Domestic so I'm not full of shit.) If you don't speak Spanish go to a club with loud music, smiles and body language will get you over the language barrier for the short term. Do not be cheap! I can't stress that enough! Do Not Be Cheap! Get a table, near the main dance floor! If one guy in your group bitches "it's too loud!" Smack him and tell him to man up! LOL! Buy a bottle because waiting for a drink sucks and it looks like you have a clue, and offer the girls drinks back at your table. See what happened there? You have a place to isolate a girl you've targeted and you have a drink right there ready for her. 2+2=4!

If you can dance do it! If you can't dance get drunk and dance as best you can. It's the wiliness to get out there to be Fun and cool that girls like plus you don't want to lose "contact" with a girl you trying to sleep with! Seriously!

Bonus tip: If there is a older or fatter chick (or both!) show her some attention and include her in the rounds of shots and photos. She'll be less likely to cock block if you do this. Got to show the "Shield" some love.

Don't try to pick up the bar tender or waitress they get hit on all the time by tourists, ex pats and locals so for a short time visitor you are at a huge disadvantage. Unless you can speak Spanish and are "Tom Brady" handsome.

Bonus tips: Do not wear cargo shorts, flip flops, NFL jerseys, and I forget the other "Come on Man!" stuff but there is more. Think casual Friday as a good rule of thumb. Colombia is very image aware and if you look like some back packer chump that's how the Colombians will see you and treat you!

At Wilt: Great comment."people come here to feel secure about themselves." So true so true for so many reasons!

[QUOTE=WiltTheStilt;1474262]. Just relax, we can help each other out without tooting our own horns or figuring everyone is in the exact same position.[/QUOTE]Right on Wilt. I agree 110 percent.

Thank you.

[QUOTE=Patji8; 1473417]WiltTheStilt, thanks! LOL, yes, that would be creepy! Well, I'm coming in a group of four or five, from late 20's to early 30's. I like them university type, (20+) , pretty, fit, looking to party (not crazily) , def not into big women etc. Where does the university crowd usually hang around at?

Ricker, which Martini bars are popular around MDE? I've been to Cali before but since we're of Indian descent, most Colombianos think we're Colombians until we start to speak. My Spanish is not terrible but it's not great. It's good enough to get around, tell the girls what I want, order food, tell the cabbie where I want to go etc. Girls always tell me that my Spanish is good, guess it's my pronunciation. Anyways, we're not big or hefty nor ripped. I think I'm attractive as most girls do comment, que lindo, bonito, rico, whatever, and I'm not trying to sound cocky but just trying to give you an idea on where we would have the most luck trying to pick up girls without having to pay. I'm always down to pay regardless but it's just the excitement of trying to pick up a girl that is thrilling to me, that challenge. And, if I do fail, at least I know I have casas / strip clubs as a backup so I'm not so stressed. I'm also doing the FB thing so I have a few options. Oh, I am still learning Spanish since the last time so I def understand the importance of learning the language!

Thanks in advance to both of you vets![/QUOTE]Martini bar. DRY in La Strata.

Thursday. Babylon (crossover, ladies night) or Bendito Seas (crossover, ladies night)

Saturday – Luxury Discoteca or Son Havana (live salsa band)

[QUOTE=BrasilSoccer0;1474251]All you need some Spanish, walking el centro NOT the fucking Poblado and approach approach numerous times.[/QUOTE]This is great advice and something that I have not heard mentioned on this board often. I live in El Poblado 5-6 months per year and I almost never hit on regular girls there. These girls have seen tourists, been hit on by tourists, and have an opinion regarding tourists. Many tourists stay in El Poblado and then walk the streets trying to pick up girls. Wrong approach guys. Also, you are prime target for the drug scopolamine in and around Parque Lleras. Very scary. If you are determined to meet regular girls leave El Poblado and try your luck.

Can't dance salsa, but LOVE listening to the music. Are you saying Luxury has live salsa on Sat or just Son Havana?

You can find a lot of mixed action up at Palmahia, loads of non-pros, drunk girls and often pros, too. A friend made me take her up there and we noticed a big car full of prepagos arriving, I guess it was one of their birthdays. I am sure a few are in there. That's a nice type of scene, where you've got a variety of options without too much ambiguity. There are places like that in CTG that are a little more on the pro side, these are a little more on the non pro side.

I've noticed a good amount of jazz and DJs arriving in the Centro. You can see flyers posted in and around Parque Periodista for that kind of stuff.

Have yet to see a live band in Luxury which plays crossover.

Compared to Eslabon Prendido, it has better music, much more space, and is safer to leave from late at night. IMO it's every big as good as some of the legendary Cali discotecas. It's good Wed - Sat.

Las Americas the strip club on the "centro strip" which has been closed for several months and has had a for sale sign on the door, was open today. That is the door was open and looking inside you can see major renovations taking place, they nuked the inside. There are going to lots of "hot buns" in the new place, even "takeout". It is going to open as a panaderia, spanish for bakery, so the neighbours told me.

"That's gold, Jerry, Gold!"

It looks like I may have to spend a few nights outside of the Hotel Medellin due to availabilty.

Reading the Medellin hotels forum, I can't decide the next best hotel outside of Medellin for newbie mongering, any suggestions what is the next best after Hotel Medellin for beginners?

[QUOTE=SavePros321; 1472618]TravelGuy99:

Don't worry about any gorditas with big asses and tits. You will be in skinny-bytch heaven at the mansion. That's mostly what the owners there like and invite over, which is why I haven't been back.

A lot of the questions you are asking have been answered a million times already. Just read some of the recent reports and go back to posts between the 2011-2012 time frame.

I have been to the DR 6 time and trust me when I tell you there is very little comparison; like apples to oranges. You are talking about D'Latins which is in Sosua, and Medellin is nothing like Sosua.

BUT: Liquid Lounge would be very similar to D'Latins. But as you can see from the few reports about the place it still has not gotten off the ground just yet. Most guys go there and just end up leaving and walking over to Fase Dos (a strip club).

(The last Newsletter Liquid Lounge send out was muy caliente though.

Also, you probably do not want to be bringing any chica you met in Mayorista back to your hotel room. Use the short-term love motels in that area. Last thing you want is for her to relay to her "handlers" how rich you are (laptop, smartphone where you are staying, etc.).[/QUOTE]

Men I find it extremely fun to visit malls and even ride trains to meet non pros. Haha. I just go out with a light hearted attitude with no agenda with no goals but to talk to as many girls as possible, might get ignored alot but so what, it only takes one to put your mind in the right frame. And Ill take one of these girls out with the idea of cultivating a non pro, and of course ill hit the strip clubs or whatever after words. And the casas in the day.
