Gearing up for Medellin visit
Finally getting excited for my Medellin visita in a few days. I've spent a few nights with bedtime ISG stories of how to proceed in the beautiful city of Medellin. Took a while to realize that my signup emails were going straight to the junk email before I could comment, but whatever.
I will follow the 1st timer advice and will be staying at "the place to be", but I would like to stake out the territory and would be happy to accompany on any hunts taking place in a few days. I'm down to check out LL, Mayo, F2, SD, and secondary want the most bang for the buck, but primarily want the most top tier service quality service provided. I could use some help, although I can speak conversational Spanish.
Excellent advice. And one more tip
[QUOTE=Vitrea; 1506082]Excellent practical questions:
Most building porterias (door men) do not care. Some renters and buildings have a rule that they check I. D but that is rare. If they do, it is not a big deal. Protects you actually. They can tell a fake I. D. Better than someone new to CO.
I always insist that the girl dress elegantly when I do TLNs and TLNs is pretty much all I do. The way the girl is dressed when I m doing a TLN can be a deal breaker for me. If they dress like an obvious hooker, I sometimes move on and tell her that I will take her the next day if she dresses "properly" to go out.
I do my best not to linger too long in the lobby and I certainly do not make a show of it. Everyone knows what is going on but keeping it as low key as possible is always in the best interest. Most importantly, I tip the porteria at least 10K pesos the first night I check in and every night I bring a girl. They are very appreciative of it and it goes a long way.[/QUOTE]Nice one V. I hate the "Mira Mira Hooker" look that some girls think is ok. IMO it's sort of a turn off. I like a cute outfit or classy is nice too. Always nice to 1) not upset your neighbors* 2) have the door guys on your side*
*I was staying at a place and there was this girl I kept bumping into on the elevator, super market, ect. Chatty flirty fun and I had it in my mind to make a move the next time I ran into her. Well the next time was in the lobby with a girl who had "Hooker" printed on her fore head. So that was that.
* I've been snitched out by door guys for "too many people" staying in the apartment, loud parties, and pot smoke.
One more tip that some guys might like to use. I learned form a buddy in Bogota. This dude a great guy, fun, and cool. Party animal! That's the problem, he gets wasted and maker bad decisions. He's been robbed or ripped off so many times and been drugged so many times by girls it's almost funny!
It's like Bro how you fall of this again?
Me: Hey can I use your ipad so look up.
Dude: Sorry you can't. I lost it.
Me: You lost it? Like on the bus. Dude again? Was it at least 2 girls and you got to plug both of them right?
Hahahah. Anyway.
His tip is that he has a deal with the door guy, either he calls down or escorts them to the door. If not the door guy knows something is up. It's just a tip, better safe then sorry.
