[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2970924]To me those are opposing pieces of advice. (Be smart and tip your door man.) Why would I need to tip my doorman? [/QUOTE]If there is someone to tip, that is the doorman. I always give a tip to the doorman on first night. He will be your best "friend" to cover your shoulders, should that be needed.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2970924]To me those are opposing pieces of advice. (Be smart and tip your door man.) Why would I need to tip my doorman? Never done it before. Never seen a need to do it. Are other people living there tipping the doorman? Foreigners love giving away money.[/QUOTE]In my early days when I used to stay at places with 24 hour doormen / security I tipped when I needed them to look the other way or ignore certain things. Such as chica arrives without Cedula or the apartment / house has an occupancy limit and the chica shows up with a few friends and were clearly over the limit, trust me on this it helped big time at the Marina Club and Palmetto Sunset, places that I would never stay again now that I know better.
Other than that it was the basic of whenever we order food ill ask them if they want something and also order for them and on the last day I usually give them all the beers. But over the years all that has changed and I started only staying at places with nighttime security then no security at all and I prefer it that way. I just chill over in Getsemani or San Deigo and don't have to worry about anyone looking at whose coming and going.
Now that I think about it, I don't even know if what I did is considered tipping or just bribe money to break the rules jajaja.
[QUOTE=Hobo3;2968912]Keep the hookah-smoking, rapper wannabes in the DR and Colombia. I'm in an under-the-radar country at the moment paying $30 TLN with 8's and 9's. Some of us learned our lesson and we're not going to make posts or YouTube videos telling them where the next best spots are so they can come ruin it like they always do. Throwing money in the air, wearing rappers stunna shades, jordans and air forces, making videos about banging overpriced pros. I know some of these dudes and most of them don't even have $10 k in the bank. Imagine spending all your money on hookers when you barely have any savings. These are grown men we're talking about. Just pathetic. A bunch of loud mouth incels.[/QUOTE]Can't really tell those degenerates nothing. The moment someone try to educate them on why they shouldn't do certain things in a foreign country its met with instant backlash with the same dumb responses, "stop pocket watching, stop hating, stop dick policing, etc". Then years later they come to the same conclusion and start saying how people messed it up when they themselves were part of the problem and opened the door for others to push new boundaries. When the behavior that was contained to Delirium, started spreading to Dolce and Space I knew it was only a matter of time. Dolce went from a no filming policy to having girls dance on the bar, on that new raised platform, hookah and money guns shooting stacks of 2 mil bills. Space turned up to a straight hookah bar and having girls dance on the bar then then the Sisters started showing up in there trying to "turn up". I remember right after the lockdown people kept saying how Cartagena was too big to be ruined like Sosua and people should never compare it to Sosua but surely enough with enough time those same exact people are now saying how Cartagena is ruined.
[QUOTE=MwenByen;2969854]I'm not a passport bro but I do have a stupid question to ask. In countries such as Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and even Costa Rica chicas are demanding on the average $130 for service and you got plenty of guys paying gringo prices for pussy and they're not passport bros at all. Hell even I remember visiting Cartagena with my wife I saw guys buying hookers jewelry and expensive hand bags and they were not passport bros. What makes you think that simps haven't messed the game up with give me's? It was a guy on this thread bragging about guys who whine about paying $100 are broke. And I think I was the only person who gay him some advice and I'm pretty sure he was neither a passport bro nor a bro bro period.[/QUOTE]Not exactly stupid question. Those are the questions that actually spark conversations.
The term "Passport Bro" has become a blanket label for any man that travels from a more developed country to a lesser developed one to take advantage of the currency exchange in order to get what they want weather its business opportunities, property ownership / rental, sex, or etc. The term originally was for Black American men but we all know how that goes when that specific demographic group of people does something and it starts trending other groups try to jump on it to try to be trendy as well. Currently to an outside observer there is hardly any difference between Passport Bro, Tourist, Backpacker, Digital Nomad, Permanant Resident, etc, people just like to use whatever label is currently trending. Back in the day the trending term was Blue Book Gentlemen, I'm constantly around many retired American military GenX and Boomers who married women from outside of America and the ones who still rocking the Yankee fitted, Jordans, in the sweat suit with 1 pant leg rolled up are now calling themselves Passport Bros, still trying to be down even though they travelling with the whole medicine cabinet in their carryon JAJAJA.
As for simps messing it up, yes, there are allot of awkward men with extra money who just don't know when they are being taken advantage of and they will get their pockets emptied until they hit that rage moment and start bashing all women for what some women do. As for buying the expensive jewelry and expensive handbag perhaps I can provide an alternative view as to why. I myself have brought girls expensive items such as Apple products and spent more time in ELLA watching them shop than I want to be. Are these gifts? No, to me its just another form of payment to one of my regulars that ill be spending allot of time with such as a week or 2 weeks, if its Apple, I bring the item with me, if she wants to go on a shopping spree then that's even better because I can track how much I'm charging and when it gets to the agreed limit for her services the shopping stops. For example chaica says she wants Air Pods, I calculate $250 max hit the apple store and bring them wit me, she come stay a weekend with me and she gets her AirPods. So from the outside looking in, we don't know exactly why that gringo is buying those expensive items for the girl but if it is gifts on top of what they already paid for services then their pockets, their choice. Just something to think about with an alternative view point as these girls are becoming more materialistic, I remember girls in Sosua use to do services for weaves, guys would pack a suitcase full of hair and dresses and they were good for a weekend.
As for the guys whining about paying $100 are broke, perhaps these are the type of guys who are accustomed to paying 5 times that amount for a fraction of the time with a woman whos not as good looking and got crazy miles on her. Before the migrant crisis I've seen what was in Tampa, Maimi, Houston, San Fran, NYC Metro Area, Chicago, DMV Metro Area, NOLA, etc, usually its all the major Blue cities and the price they wanted for 1 hour for what they offered was more than the price of a roundtrip plane ticket to DR. It made more sense to grab a few friends and leave the country for a long weekend in a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom AirBB and split it 3 ways. Also I've had too many back and forth with too many people in Sosua chat groups that say they pay a low price for a chica but they never show what the chica looks like or say what services the chica performed and its for a very good reason due to the chica being very un attractive or overweight. I've also been on the other side where I said I paid a low price for a girl and I was called out, I'm a man of facts so I provided pictures and the conversation of the agreement, and what they did was go out of their way to find the chica tried to get with her for the same price and when she declined they showed the chica the conversation I had with her, chica got pissed and blocked me. When I told my friend what happened he said I should have never opened my mouth, I learned.

Headed back to Cartagena. Is the Soy Local Central Historico guest friendly. A guy on the hotel reviews made a point of saying it was but I am looking for experienced advice. Thanks.

The front desk was manned by two different guys around 35-45, who both were very easy going, and I think both of them were more concerned about the safety of the main registered guest than they are with presenting hurtles and blind rule following. They also want you to escort your guest out upon which they will return said ID to the guest.

Last time I picked from the crowds in the bars and at the Clock Tower. This time, with the changes I have heard about, I think I will try the online services. Any recommendations?

Man this is a well written post by an apparent genius guys like you need to post more often. You literally took what I was thinking to the next level.

I wouldn't go to Cartagena for a mongering trip, unless you are interested in what the street / bar scene has to offer there, as juxtaposed to what Cartagena also offers as a standard vacation spot. I went to Cartagena specifically for the street scene, amazing food, and overall pirate city / unique vibe. No traffic to deal with, no bullshit lady-drinks, no online bait & switch, etc. There are upsides to Cartagena when contrasted to Medellin and Bogota. However, Medellin would be a far better choice if you are looking for online and casa options in addition to what Lleras and Centro have to offer there. As for myself, I'm a bit of a hunter I suppose, and the street scene at Cartagena is perfect for that. Medellin's street scene is like shooting fish in a barrel comparatively, but with not so great food, air pollution, traffic, etc.

Um. Wait. Are there any major Red cities?
I try again to ask my question, which I asked last November.
Anyone knows what motels in Crespo among Las Dunas, La Cangreja, La Jaiba, are still open and operating, if any?
They were my best venue before COVID to take special girls. Google Maps reports them as still open, but I know by direct experience (I tried to go there last year by taxi) that at least La Jaiba was closed and terminated to operate.
Thanks.
