Medellin Reports

[Combo]

Regarding #3, trying to impress the girls is really not a good idea. Best to get that mindset out of your system when pursuing this hobby.

No! Absolutely not! Never! I would rather just give the girl my ATM card and tell her to go withdraw how much she wants.

1. It doesn't matter how pleased she will be, because you pay her after she's finished and ready to leave.

2. The exchange rate is always changing. The price of pussy is fairly stable. Are you planning on checking the current rate each time, doing the math and pulling out your small change? Or were you thinking a $100 bill would make her happy? It should, because you'll be overpaying by 80-350%.

3. It sounds like you're wanting to impress the girls. If you want to impress them, give them a handful of gummi worms or other cheap candy and eat their pussy. You'll save a lot of money and you're more likely to succeed.

Having a bunch of girls lined up before you get to Medellin is like having a bunch of birdies lined up before you get on the first tee. You're not going to hit all the holes you think you will.

Your enthusiasm is great and will probably be expensive.

You'll be in Colombia. Pay in Colombian pesos.

Appreciate all the insight and jabs on being a newbie COP it is now to read back and see what a standard price is I've read 150-200 mil.

Yes, and as you read back, note the conversations where chicas will try to pull the "150" or "200" without adding the "k" or "mil".

If a chica tries to tell you she means (150) USD, she's not expecting you to pull out a Benjamin, two Jacksons, and a Hamilton: she's saying she wants COP 548, 562 k, which is beyond absurd.

Using dollars is not the kryptonite as some might say. A chica asked me to pay her in dollars once and she was willing to take a discount mainly because I did not want what she was selling and I told her I didn't have the pesos. If you are not giving her more than the standard exchange rate, what difference does it make? For convenience I use pesos of course, but this one time the chica was willing to take a discount for dollars and go down to Iberas and exchange them on the street, no skin off my nose. With that said, I pay in pesos and always negotiate in pesos. I really don't want to be calculating exchange rates and doing math for a sex encounter jajaja. As far as labeling it dumb, that depends on your math ability, I guess, jajaja.

I'll happily label it dumb. In fact, it's downright stupid. Basing how you handle business transactions on "well this one time it worked" is a bad idea.

First, there's the whole idea of pleasing the girl. She's a prostitute. You're paying her to please you. You're not paying her to make her happy.

Next, what are most of the girls going to do with dollars in Medellin? How are they going to exchange it to pesos at 2 am in order to pay a taxi? No matter what the deal, they're going to get screwed on the exchange rate.

Finally, how much change, in dollars, are you traveling with? 100 k right now is $27.33. No matter what the girls are charging, you're going to have a difficult time coming up with the correct change.

If you want to pay for pussy in dollars go to Ecuador or stay home.

Big problem a buddy that bought apartments in Rio during the good old days is having right now. If you can't repatriate the money then..

Very true, most of these countries currency is not fully convertible. Which means that Major world currencies can be exchanged to their currency, but you cannot exchange their currency with Major world currency. When I was leaving Rio for USA, I had approx. 200 dollar worth of local Brazilian currency, but the exchange place at the airport could not exchange for USD. I have to spend all the money at the airport buying things unnecessary. Surprisingly Dominican Republic and Mexico currency is convertible but not India or Brazil whose economy is much better.

You can always bring your money back to USA and there are currency brokers who will charge you a handsome fees. Or maybe you will be lucky to find US, Canadian or European buyer for your apartment.

Maybe not lose money in COP term but it is difficult to say when the money is converted back to USD. I looked it up and COP has depreciated more than 40% in the last 10 years.

Personally, I prefer to buy income property in US and spend the income in Colombia.

Thanks, now that makes sense, me like you. Likes to buy income property in USA and spend my money on Colombia, I almost fell for it once when Panama was booming thank god it got to difficult and I backed out!

[Mr Enternational]

Selling the apartment if priced properly will not be the issue, the issue will be if you want to get the money from the sale of the apartment out of the Country, and back into the USA.

If so, you will have had to properly brought the money into the Country to begin with, meaning the moneys used to purchase the property were properly identified and recorded, or you will never get your money out of the Country.

he will not lose any money when he moves on, but actually probably make money when he's done!

Yes, it's a definite must to legally record and register all international wire transfers coming into Colombia, so in the future I can repatriate the money back to the USA if needed. If not done properly, the money can never be taken out of Colombia and fines can be levied on the wire transfers. I plan to keep the money in Colombia anyways, but it's always good to have an exit strategy just in case. The dollar is pretty strong right now against the peso, hope it hits 3700 when I get there.

I'll be in Medellin for the first time in September. I will try this with a girl I meet in Gustos or La Isla (After I'm finished day mongering in El Centro of course jajajajaja).

You are not going by where you picked up the chica, but rather how well she knows you and likes you. I wouldn't recommend trying it the FIRST time with any chica no matter where I found her. After you get to know each other a bit, and assuming you have a good vibe (or why would you be seeing her over and over to begin with), then you can say, "All I can pay is XXX, including taxi and tip, and you can leave whenever you want. " My average visit with my regular girls is 2+ hours for this and often much longer. The more they like you, the longer they know you, and depending on how busy they are, the less pesos they will take and / or the longer they will stay.

Random Gratuitous Fotos from my most recent visit to MDE, five different chicas, all regulars, except for the first one, lost track of her but she was a looker and would do just about anything for some of the pink stuff. But I get nervous with chicas who are willing to trade sex for drugs which is probably why she was a one-and-done, with condom of course. Two of them don't charge me (but we all pay one way or another in the end). Secret and her sister on the bed. Catgirl in the crouch. Sexy Dexy ass. Purrfekt Piel on the balcony.

As far as grabbing pros or non pros have you guys ever just paid in USD?? Instead of COP?? My thought was maybe they would be more pleased seeing that USD. I've been on LAC and have a bunch of girls lined up also some that want to show me around and hopefully can turn into a fun time I am set to leave on the 18th and I am renting a air bnb.

Why would you be giving money to chicks that are not hookers? You will be more ripped off trying to use foreign currency. That is why the gringo spots are fucked up these days. Guys have I guess thought the same as you and started an ugly trend.

Whenever you travel use local currency. Prime example 2 days ago in Mexico a chick asked me for $25. I said I only have pesos. She said 300 pesos. 300 pesos is less than $15. If you had paid in dollars then you would have paid almost twice as much as me using that pay in dollars theory. You are not on vacation to please chicks; you are on vacation for chicks to please you.

This is why your argument will fall on deaf ears: you missed the part where he said "My thought was maybe they would be more pleased seeing that USD."

So this guy already knows that everything should be in the local currency, but he somehow things he's going to receive extra brownie-points from chicas by paying in USD.

I don't think they would be pleased to have to go exchange the dollars into pesos for a number of reasons besides the inconvenience.

Never ever ever pay or even suggest to pay in USD, never. Heck these putas, the ones that are not total scammers, the vast majority of them have never even held a USD in their hand let alone any thought as to the exchange rate, these are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

They would look at them receiving payment in USD as a problem, they would think what the hell am I to do with this, they would be lost. Now the the other hand you pull out a nice crisp 50 mil peso note and they will suck and fuck to your hearts delight as they know exactly what that 50 mil note gives them.

In my 30 fucking years of travel to Colombia, with 11 of those in Medellin and now living in Medellin for 4 years, maybe close to 1,000 chicas both pros and non-pros and civies and I have never paid in USD and I never will.

I know nobody thinks about a divorce when they are getting married but won't it be a pain in the butt to sell the apartment in Bello when it comes the time for it?

Way different scenarios, he will not lose any money when he moves on, but actually probably make money when he's done! What were you thinking when you made this comparison.

How is this different from marriage anywhere?

In economics it is called the law of diminishing returns. I guess in drug culture it would be called chasing the dragon. Make up something for it to be called in mongering.

That's why this hobby and this website exists, next!
