[QUOTE=Nomars777;2978849]Upon check-in, the woman at the desk, after all the normal costs, signing the guest form, paying the bill upfront for the nights to be stayed, etc. Gives a rundown of the "guest policy", basically she said, in English no less, "If you meet someone and decide to bring them here, please know that we will take their physical identification and hold it while they're here. We will not give it back to them until you return to the front desk with them and instruct us that everything is ok and that we can return their identification to them."
At that, I was well satisfied that things would be ok.
Best part, I took 2 guests back and unlike in Medellin, there was zero guest charge. Just turn the ID over, the front desk person makes a note in a notebook and files the ID in an folder organizer, and off you go to the room. When you return, they ask the girl what her name is, check the notebook, retrieve it from the folder and off she goes.
For me in Medellin, most hotels wanted $100 k per guest, so between $20 and $25 USD at current exchange rates.
Given that the girls in Cartagena at least TRY to charge more, if you factor out the added guest charge that you'd pay in Medellin, the 2 become more comparable. Although Hotel Nutibara in Medellin centro did not charge me any guest fees either.
Bottom line, Soy Local Centro Historico was a decent enough place, with an ideal location near to all the action that if you wanted to bring multiple girls back over multiple days, the savings in terms of not paying guest fees could be pretty substantial.
NOTE: be aware that they use some sort of powerfully scented cleaning solution when mopping the floors throughout the building. If you're sensitive to strong smells, this might not be the place for you. Think Fabuloso type strong smell. If you like that, or are used to it because your family uses it, then you'll be fine. For me it hit me hard when I first was in the lobby checking in, but got used to it over the next 2 days. Just an FYI.
OTHER NOTE: The guys I met were staying at an OZ Hotel down in Bocagrande and they also said guests were allowed and did not mention guest fees being charged.[/QUOTE]Thanks! Soy Local / Oz Hotel and Oz Hotel Luxury are all full the days I'm there. There are plenty others, so I'll keep searching and contacting them on their joiner fees (most have them, the cheapest I found so far is 75,000; most are 100,000 like Medellin).

Early morning action
Hi guys, Going to Cartagena with my American girlfriend in April. We are going to be together almost the entire time. She has a 10 am hair appointment on a Sunday which will give me about a two hour window to fool around. Where can I find a girl and have her in that 2 hour window? TIA!

Mileroticos, skokka, prepagos? I have no experience w / them but was looking at those sites.

First time columbia
Hello guys, first time south America but have Mongered around in europe, Asia, America and Canada. I know south America is diffrent and I have read a lot around here but still have a few questions. I'll be in cartagana middle of March with a few guy friends all looking for girls. We have an airbnb with security. My first question is everyone says get hotels instead of bring them back but my friends don't feel safe being left alone in hotels and going there with girls so they prefer yo get girls to the airbnb. We're not bringing any belongings and 1 person will not drink or do anything to try to keep everyone safe with the security.
Question 1.
Is it better to pick up girls and walk back with them to the airbnb or get the WhatsApp and call them later.
Also a friend of a friend went to csrtagana pre dolce vita being closed and he said what they did is just go there pick up WhatsApp then call whoever they liked back and it was fine.
2nd would it be better if I tell my other friends to just pick a girl they really like and just pay her for the whole night / call her even night we are there and just don't deal with their scared news?
Also they don't speak Spanish but are bringing translating headphones and have esimcards. I speak Spanish but obv I want to have fun myself.
Thanks in advance.

TIA![/QUOTE]If your window is only 2 hours at 10 am on a Sunday you have to consider a few things.
- Chicas are knocked out sleeping because they were in the clubs on Saturday all night.
- Chicas are on their way home because they were with a gringo the night before.
- Chicas are locked in an went with a gringo to an island for the day or a boat.
- You cannot take the girl back to your place, so you have to find a short time hotel.
With the above in mind, I would suggest scheduling something form a website where you go to where the girl is, most likely it will be in Bario Torices, it would be better is the are in Bocagrande.
Don't get caught, it would be so dumb to get caught but if you do, I would love to be the person sitting next to you two on the plane. Best flight ever jajaja.

I've had friends join me and they used that method of getting numbers at night and calling the girl during the day and most of the time the results were a mixture of:
1. The chica is not responding because she's currently with another gringo.
2. They completely forgot what the chica looked like and they cannot see the chica profile picture because of her whatsapp settings and the chica never added him to her contacts.
3. Before the night ends they saw the girl leave the club with another gringo who looks sloppy AF and they decided if she's letting that sloppy dude smash then they don't want to be going after him.
4. The chica is in the airport flying back to Medellin or at the bus terminal getting ready to leave as she was only there for the weekend.
[QUOTE=Clhunter2]2nd would it be better if I tell my other friends to just pick a girl they really like and just pay her for the whole night / call her even night we are there and just don't deal with their scared news?[/QUOTE]No, I personally would not meet a new chica and pay her for the whole night as I don't know how good the sex will be or how she will behave. I've made the mistake of seeing a girl with a crazy good natural body, took her for the night and she was terrible at BJs where she scrapped up my entire shaft and her pussy was so banged out that I could put 2 fingers in there and not touch any walls. Straight up hotdog down a hallway. But it was already 3 am and nothing was left on the street, I was so pissed! Now, new chicas I try for an hour before I commit for the night. If it sucks I'm only losing 200 mil - 300 mil vs 400 mil - 600 mil.
[QUOTE=Clhunter2]Also they don't speak Spanish but are bringing translating headphones and have esimcards. I speak Spanish but obv I want to have fun myself. [/QUOTE]Speaking Spanish is not critically important in Cartagena, but it helps. You will see lots of people using google translate, but if I were your friends I would jump on Babel, Drops, or Duo Lingo and start learning some basic things to communicate. They should at least learn how to say things that pertain to their best interest and well-being. The back story to this comment is I previously travelled with a friend who has high blood pressure and diabetes. Before he left I told his dumb ass to learn how to say no salt and no sugar in Spanish so that when he orders food he won't have a problem. He said " ima tell no salt and no sugar and that's it". Long story short his ass never learned how to say "sin sal" or "sin azucar" and he had an episode. He didn't tell me anything and I had no idea until the next day when I went to the spot to get breakfast, and the waiter asked me if my friend was ok and told me what happened.

[QUOTE=MwenByen;2972946]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.[/QUOTE]This popped into my feed over the weekend. I was a nice laugh watching it on the way to work this morning and the comments section is a gut buster but it's a good hustle. It reminded me of this post and the topic of Passport Bros.
Imagine paying someone $3000 to learn how to get women in a city that is heavily influenced on selling sex. Might as well fly to Thailand and charge consultation fees of how to find a wife in Pattaya. Oh wait. Too late for that since people are Zooming over there. Matter a fact a bunch of them Passport Bro YouTubers are there right now including the one that got stranded in Sosua when he ran out of money. He's another one who picture got dropped in the CTG chica network for girls to avoid.

Popped in my feed too.
First thing I thought was, "You're paying this obvious complete loser $3,000+++ to help you figure out how to get girls in a city where all you need to do is make eye contact, raise one eyebrow, see the response, then go chat them up?
Are these guys out of their freaking minds? Jesus, at this point I should setup a "consultation" service. Seriously, telling this guy to buy a leather jacket, like he needs that in Medellin.
What a fucking joke.
Anyway, rant over.
Can't wait to get to Medellin in April!! Woohoooo!

[QUOTE=Interstella;2938627]So, figured I would make report, though this was in Cartagena 7 months ago, so, oldish info. It was kind of funny, this was my first real mongering focused trip, and literally days after I booked everything non-refundable (cheapest), the Mayor of Cartagena issues a moratorium on prostitution in Old Town. Thought that was going to make finding women difficult, but showed up and the ladies were all out and about!
The first night went almost too well, as I found a serious cutie in less than 10 minutes. Set me back 400 K. The women out and about seemed innumerable at the time because I hadn't really taken the scene fully in yet. The next night brought things into better perspective, as I spent hours on the stroll in Old Town. There were maybe 75-100 women out in total throughout the night. Girls get scooped quick if they are a serious looker! All the good choices dried up on night 2 as it was getting very late, and so I took what was a 6/10 back to my room, and once her clothes came off that score dropped to a 5. Same thing with other nights, there are definitely 7's and 8's out there every night, but they are few and far between, so if you see something good, you've got to go for it instantly. As compared to Medellin's Parque Lleras which I would hit a few months later, CTG is definitely NOT as good as far as selection, but still not bad at all. Additionally, as opposed to CTG's Old Town, it was not uncommon in Lleras to see a very good looking woman sit there all night, even on different nights, without a single customer.
I really enjoyed Cartagena, and will be returning. I think it's a good mix of vacation and hobbying. Whereas, I found myself getting miserably bored during the day in Medellin, while breathing in sulfury air, allst while eating mostly mediocre food and not daring to leave Poblado on foot after dark. That being said, definitely going back to Medellin sometime too, haha.[/QUOTE]Interesting post. I go to Aruba a lot as a single dude. I use a decent service that drops the gals off at my hotel. Mainly Venezuelan and Columbiana's in Aruba. However, it's too much of a couple's paradise which has started to gnaw at me. LOL.
Thinking of going to Medellin but really need a beach and mongering combined. So Cartagena and Santa Marta come to mind.
Anyway, thanks for your post and that info.

Flabbergasted
What's interesting most of those guys in that video looked like dorks! Man I'm starting to see more YouTube guys charging consulting fees on travel but on dating advice dude like come on. That guy is on his way to becoming a millionaire. I strongly suggest these dudes look at some of Andrew Tate old videos for inspiration.
