Medellin Reports

[Lucky Nuts]

I have not used Verizon or Spring for a while so my understanding maybe wrong. If the network support LTE, then it is supposed to work. If the network is 3 G or earlier, then it may not work because Verizon is on CDMA while others are on GSM. If you have a phone that supports both, then it will always work. It is easy to experiment. Borrow an ATT SIM card to try on your Verizon phone to find out.

There are no networks left that are only 3G or earlier. There are no phones left that are only CDMA or only GSM. All phones made in the last few years have a multi-band modem supporting all networks. All you need to worry about anymore is that your phone is not "locked" because you bought it on a monthly contract plan from your service provider. Personally I buy a new one each year or two at Ktronix in Pablado for about $100 worth of pesos. Like Surfer my real phone is always in the room safe.

So your saying that a Verizon phone will work in Colombia with a local SIM card? I heard something different from another poster about this. But for guys with two phones that's very handy not needing to buy another phone in Colombia and get hammered by Verizon for $ 10 USD day. Regardless, my I phone doesn't leave my place, it's my lifeline to the USA, and I have a back-up I phone as well. The biggest issue is losing an American cell phone in Colombia and not being able to get the number back, hence my phones stay locked up, and having two phones, one as your lifeline, and the other as your mongering phone is the way to go.

Over the years Verizon phones have changed but it still depends on the actual model of the phone, I used Verizon for years and my phone would used be be useless in Colombia. I had a cheap Chinese Galaxy clone dual SIM I used to carry down there. It did not work because not only does / did Verizon us CDMA technology but Verizon had them locked. Then when Google made the first deal with Verizon to sell their Google Pixel Phone they required that Verizon sell the phone "unlocked". Google was also selling the phone themselves in their Google Store so each phone is made as a multi band to work on any network. Now other phones have followed and I am fairly sure that all phones made by major manufacturers that sell through Verizon are multiband and work on most networks. Google Pixel phones also have the capability of being dual SIM because they have an eSIM capabilty, so when I am traveling I can keep my original number in case people at home are trying to contact me, and I download an eSIM from Google Fi to use when traveling because they do not charge for roaming and the data is reasonable. This is really handy if you are traveling to more than one country. I am posting an image of the description of a Galaxy S21 5 G, Apple iPhone SE (2020), ad the cheapo Galaxy A01 . According to this article linked below, Verizon only demands that your phone be locked to their network to the first 60 days. This article also addresses how to get it unlocked.

All that being said, I am not going to argue with your reasoning of having one phone locked up for your lifeline and carrying a monger phone. It is a safe way to go. I would suggest to anyone that wanted a travel phone to go online and find a phone that works on Colombia's networks. According to medellinguru dot com -

https://medellinguru.com/cell-phones/#text=The%20 GSM%20850%20 and%20 GSM, will%20 not%20 work%20 in%20 Colombia.

"The GSM 850 and GSM 1900 bands are used in Colombia for cell phones. If your unlocked cell phone supports GSM 850 and GSM 1900 bands it should work in Colombia. Most noteworthy, a CDMA phone will not work in Colombia. ".

For people that travel between multiple countries I suggest finding a phone that advertises as dual SIM and "quad band" or "global phone" etc because these work in most countries.

Lastly if a person is traveling between different countries and wants flexibility, if you do the research on compatible phones they could look at buying a used cell phone that is compatible with Google Fi, cost for service is 20 USD per month for service then 10 USD per GB data, there are no contracts so I cancel after one month, the advantage is no matter which country you land in you can use the same SIM and at most have to turn your phone off and on to lock into a signal when you land in a different country, I have used Google Fi in the Colombia, UK, Mexico, France, Spain, and the Czech Republic. The last three all in the same trip and the same SIM.

Rich men are alpha males. Alpha females like only alpha males. Non alpha females would like to be with alpha males but there are only so many alpha males to go around.

[Deleted by Admin]

I personally know many Rich women whom you'd consider alphas that are dating poor men. A good acquaintance of mine is in her early 40, looks 30, rich with multiple own businesses. And now dating a buddy of mine who's only 26 yrs old, has no college edu and only couple hundreds in the bank.

Being an Alpha has nothing to do with money. I consider my buddy also an Alpha, cause he's confident, works out and women falls for him, and dude is funny as hell. Being an Alpha has to do with your confidence, your charm, look / charisma overall. Yes your finance matters but matters less if she has her own. Also no one. Men or women has all qualities to be Alphas, but you should have one or masterd one really well or a combination of a few.

For example women will fall for you for being rich even if ugly / fat, or same women or even better women will go for the poor dude with a big dick and six pack and will settle to live with you in your hut; or you have no money at all and average look but you're funny as hell, you have a wonderful personality etc. Yes our values and status in society matters, and yes most women do want a man with a title / career. But go way beyond the description of what this is. We're talking and naming Bill Gates and 1 in a Billion type of people and it's ridiculous. All real men basically are Alphas, someone who works hard, pay his damn bills, take care of his women and children and doesn't whine like a sissy, can throw a punch and defend his flock to protect his own.

Think of it like a scale of 1-10 in looks, and and another 1-10 in everything else (personality, money, etc.) - We men and women do the exact same. We will sacrifice look and go down to a 6 in looks if she's a 10 in personality, or if she's a 3 in personality, the look better be a 9-10. Women look at us the same way. There's no exact math or science, love is matter of the heart, and since bills must be paid, women (as they mature) usually will balance their love finding with what you can offer. Note that I mention "as they mature" this is important because the younger and the immature the woman, she will only go for vanity hence your look will matter more. Because at young age, she's in high school, college, living with parents with little to no responsibility, looks to them and your dance move in the club is what will attract them. But once mature and once life begins with all its hardships and surprises, they will give up the popular high school jock who's broke and they'll turn to the nerd that never got laid. Cause now the ugly fat belly nerd has money and has his own dominance.

Our current Sugar daddies are those guys, who can afford $5-$10 k allowance monthly for any beauty they want. Of course most men fall in between the Bill gate nerds and the poor jock who never left town, still riding dads' 1970 truck, no passport, working min wage and can barely read since never paid attention in school (somehow still was Prom King LOL). Bottom line, If you're not rich or successful you better look good or be one hell of guy. Alpha simply means you handle your biz as a man, one way or another and it's not only about rich money (Meaning average money and average working man still fall in the same category).

Booked my tickets for April 15th. Would like to meet my monger friends. Staying at San Peters for 12 days. Hope there won't be any curfew this time.

Right now, my plan is to be at San Peter also about the same time (April 18) for 4 or 5 days. We'll meet up.

If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Jane Goodall first coined the term "alpha male" to explain the various male roles within primate communities. It's since been applied to wolves.

Actually the whole beta / alpha business is a false dichotomy.

The guy that did the research with wolves said it was false as well.

You're really overgeneralizing quite a bit, there are plenty of broke alpha males look at ex cons, bikers et al, and there are very effeminate rich betas ala Bezos Zuckerberg gates.

I have seen doods in SEA mongering that could pass for teen girls, but they are throwing around money, if you go there also don't tell me you have never seen it in Nana or Thermae any day of the week.

Actually the whole beta / alpha business is a false dichotomy. Have a read. Here's an excerpt.

"Taken together, the research suggests that the ideal man (for a date or romantic partner) is one who is assertive, confident, easygoing, and sensitive, without being aggressive, demanding, dominant, quiet, shy, or submissive. In other words, a prestigious man, not a dominant man."

P.S. Sounds like the above quote might fit either Gates or Zuckerberg or both, though I don't know either man.

1. Never ever take any woman serious, period and end of discussion.

2. They are what they are, what their ingrained culture has placed into their DNA. You can not change them.

3. A barrio xxxxx, and my gawd we all love them, can never ever go outside her social economic status, so don't try, it will never work.

4. They all fuck around, they call them their gay amigos or primos or just a old school friend but they have and will return to their old fuck buddies, even the ladrones from the barrio because water seeks it's own level.

5. Some are better at lying than others but they are all very good at it. This is the way they were raised, the drama, the excitement of getting drunk and smoking some dope then allowing the corner boys in their barrio to fuck them raw and hard, so don't never ever think that these are sweet and caring little darlings.

The Tall Man.

My experience base after living in Medellin for three years straight up until the Pandemic is very different than yours, yet from my experience here, I can totally confirm what you are saying, and have never seen a post like yours so succinctly summing up reality here, albeit it won't matter to most.

[Sangnyc21]

Rich men are alpha males. Alpha females like only alpha males. Non alpha females would like to be with alpha males but there are only so many alpha males to go around.

Rich men are definitely not always alphas. Considering many of them enjoy being tied up and beaten up by women.

I knew a woman who specialized in BDSM and was a dom.

At 1500 usd a session I would say all her clients are rich. And she had many.

[MarquisdeSade1]

If there are, as you say, only so many alpha ('rich') males to go around, then there's hope for you to snare a top quality female!

A well known anomaly in the mongering sphere is that most or at least many alpha mongers avoid alpha putas and seek out the beta putas.

Conversely the alpha putas hunt the beta mongers.

You can easily supplant the word alpha for masculine and beta for feminine.

I also have 2 Verizon phones, and I use one of them solely for traveling and mongering. I find the $10 per day Verizon charge fairly steep. When I get to Medellin, I put in a local SIM card. The whole thing costs about 20 k cops. Much cheaper.

...As far as bringing an unlocked Verizon phone to Colombia, unless you bring a registered Verizon SIM card with you, you won't be able to use the phone, at least that is what Verizon told me, and probably the source of the problem you experienced and a good warning for others but easily solved...

By your logic do you consider all women to be pros?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/married...merican-group/

Here's a snippet from the article above "At their income peak at age 47, married men earn an average of $86,502 per year, the report found. By comparison, single men who are 47 earn $49,288, not far off from the $45,672 earned by single women of the same age. Married women who are 47, meanwhile, earn almost $51,000. ".

Basically, if you're making median wage and below women aren't trying to date you seriously or looking to get married to you. Whether the woman asks for money up front or on the back end all women care about how much money you make and the lifestyle that you can provide for them.

Maybe you should read my non-pro definition again. After I specifically stated that a relationship isn't part of the equation, you're quoting articles on relationships?

This is about mongering, or to be more correct, recreational sex. It's not about dating, building a relationship, getting married and living happily ever after.

If you're going to Medellin for sex, you're almost exclusively dealing with some variation of a pro. There's a shortage of young, beautiful women seeking casual sex with men, 30+ years older, who don't speak their language. Fortunately, Medellin has a full supply of women willing to fill that shortage for a reasonable price.

To answer your question, I don't consider all women pros.

Back when I was looking for women to date and maybe build a relationship with, I often went to bars. I met a lot of different types of women there. Occasionally a woman would let me know that she would be happy to come home with me, for a price. That would be a pro. Occasionally a woman would let me know that she planned to fuck my brains out. No money, no obligation, just sex. That would be a non-pro.

Of course there were other women, they would let me know they were interested in seeing me again. At some later point, if I followed up, there would be sex, commitment and all the rest. Those women are outside of the classification of pro and non-pro because casual sex (paid or unpaid) is not on the table.

I didn't read the article. Maybe later. However, for the purpose of this forum, it's missing one important number, disposable income. At a combined $138 k annually, how much money is available? Mortgage, often second mortgage, 2 or more car payments, kids, pets, family vacations, insurance, healthcare, kids sports, etc. , how much is left? How many of those married, 47 year old men are flying to Medellin for 10 days of off the charts sex? How many can afford it? How many wish they could be doing that instead of spending another night in front of the TV with their wife?

Back to your conclusion. There seem to be a few billion people who disagree. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many poor people getting married and having kids.

I have been The Tall Man on these boards for going on 20 years, he is The Slender Man, hehehehhe and yes my observations of him along with some friends of friends that know him, all have nothing but good things to say about him, a cool dude.

Shows that no matter our race or size or age we all need good loving!

The Tall Man.

I guess there could be a debate on what handle to give this guy in the event he were to become a board member here. I called him the Jolly Green Giant as he was wearing a green shirt when I saw him, and you want to call him the Slender Man, yet he is taller than you, so shouldn't he be the Taller Man? LOL.
