Medellin Reports

[CapYandel]

Hey guys,

After getting robbed by cops recently in Mexico, I wanted to ask if it's common in Colombia for cops to use street walkers as "bait" to try to squeeze some dollars out of you. This is very common in Mexico.

Great report man, I'm so behind on all mine LOL. I feel you on somewhat feeling betrayed. A lot all girls are not like that, but for the ones that are I feel like it's just something their taught growing up or getting into this. They don't even notice what they're doing is wrong. For me, I have a couple regular girls who some don't even charge me anymore. I'll get them business but other than me and those guys they try to act like they aren't fucking others LOL. One girl even told a dude I sent her way to not tell me we were together lmao. I also don't care if they're fucking around, focus on me when you're with me and don't try to make me look like a fool when you obviously know I'm fine with your work.

For the cop situation that's tough man, I've had that about twice but I was in Poblado and the girl left nicely without any drama when I said no. Having a stable of girls is beneficial, some I have for free, the others spend the night for cheaper than I had an hour date the first time I met them.

The "betrayal" situation is quite easy to understand if you accept one of the cultural idiosyncrasies of Colombians. They don't like to say "no."

This applies not only to chicas, but to most Colombians. Giving a direct "no" goes against their nature. This is one of the reasons why so many girls flake or show up 2 hours late. They set up to meet you at 8 pm, but they know that mom won't be home to watch the kids until 9, so they tell you yes and make excuses for 2 hours because it's easier than saying "no, I can't be there until 10."

And when you're sitting in the bar, watching the girl who is coming to you, and she gets approached by another guy, who wants a roll right now, it's easier to go with him and make excuses to you, than to tell him "no."

This can be maddening if you're trying to do business in Colombia. You have a meeting, seems like it went well, you set up a follow-up meeting and they don't show. When you call, there's excuses and it was a misunderstanding, but they'll rarely come out and say they aren't interested. Instead you end up chasing your tail for 2 months.

There are ways you can lessen the problems with this. One way is to ask the girls what time works for them. If she says she can arrive at 10, expect 10:30 and she'll probably be there or close. If the time she says won't work for you, don't waste your time trying to get her there earlier. Just set her up for another day and move down the list.

Great reporting!

Good read, thanks!

Enjoy!

I'm in Argentina at the moment, for business, it's a shell of its former days.

Back to Brazil tomorrow.

Thank you Jesus! LOL.

Isn't Argentina pretty great now with the dollar blue exchange rate?

You can get escorts for $10-$20 and top tier ones for $80-$100 pretty much.

As I have mentioned before, I believe nobody should be coming to Colombia if they haven't been vaccinated as the infection rate is still very high here.

Anyways, hopefully you'll clear being infectious and can have your friends visit you soon.

I guess I'm the most recent expert on the subject since I just got a certificate of recovery today.

Assuming your positive test was not a false positive, then you are likely to test positive for several weeks. You can get tested again to confirm, but you can't really use the test to determine when you're no longer contagious.


Whether or not to go out with your buddies is up to you. If you wear a mask in the cab, keep reasonable distance as much as possible, it's unlikely you'll infect them. At least that's my opinion.

You need to get a PCR test. I think they should be able to tell you whether you are infectious or not based on the CT value. Good luck!

Well think positively. At least you earned it!

You could maybe tell your buddy of your circumstances and see what he says. Not everyone is scared of contracting the virus. Even if he is concerned, has he been vaxd?

No, I have not been vaxed. Haven't been home since New Year, and not really interested in the vax, anyway. One buddy has been vaxed, and both have had COVID. One got it a year ago, so he's not 100% confident, and doesn't want to spend his vacation quarantined, but it sounds like he's going to roll the dice.

I woke up today feeling fine. Congestion has improved, and fatigue is gone.

Based on JjBee62's terrible experience and information, it seems any test I do in the next 24 hours would come back positive. Thus, maybe I need to just make the decision based on how I feel. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but if I feel 100% in the morning, and my buddies have no worries. I'll probably consider going out. What could go wrong? Last time I was excited to go out in Medellin, I spent two days and $1800 replacing an iPhone!

Thanks to all for the comments, advice, & info. Not something I want to spend a half a day researching on Google!

Welp, looks like I have COVID.
I, and many others, will probably regret this post! Apologies in advance! I just feel like the first page of Google results might be as misleading as what's to follow, here, and this will certainly be more entertaining.

Nothing to regret about your post and your fortunate to only have mild symptoms and hopefully you won't loose your sense of smell and taste. I don't know if you were vaccinated or not, and if you were, it's disturbing, and if so, your not alone as Jb2 was vaccinated and caught COVID, hopefully he's home now.

As I have mentioned before, I believe nobody should be coming to Colombia if they haven't been vaccinated as the infection rate is still very high here.

I'm vaccinated and basically have thrown caution to the wind here, meaning I'm on the Metro daily packed in like a sardine, interacting with girls on the streets, rolling around on Hotel beds in El Centro, and eating in restaurants, etc.

Anyways, hopefully you'll clear being infectious and can have your friends visit you soon.

I arrived mid-day Sunday, and the weather has been incredible with no rain. During the day there has been scattered clouds blocking the sun most of the time resulting in cool temps along with nice breezes. And the evenings have been just as nice with the difference being there's literally no humidity, alfresco all day and night except when the clouds are not blocking the sun during the day. The weather at times in Medellin is so incredible and one of the major attractions of this City besides the women available.

Since arriving I've had three nice sessions with some of my regulars in El Centro, and things seem pretty much the same as about three weeks ago, but apparently this last Saturday it was off the charts, and during my time in El Centro on Sunday and Monday I noticed some new talent out, and also have noticed more girls working under the Parque Berrio Metro Station whom are primarily Venezuelans.

I've also noticed an uptick in what some of the girls are asking for, and believe given the influx of mongers in El Centro, and there appears to be more mongers than ever before, that the smarter girls are now quoting higher prices to the foreigners which is inevitable.

Good point. No I didn't. I have already rejected those delivery services. They are fine if you order something straight from their menus, but as soon as you make a special request, you can almost guarantee it will turn in to a disaster. Nearly all my orders are special requests and I found I had to return the food or fight for a refund over half the time.

Yes it's a fact. Colombia is not much attuned to high maintenance tourists.

The CDC had previously put out some guidance about asymptomatic and I think at least 10 days post infection, but that has been changing and with testing far more readily available most people are erring on the side of getting tested. For someone like you who I presume works out regularly and is fairly immunocompetent you should not have issues clearing the virus. Also were you vaccinated? If so you will probably also clear it sooner. But the PCR test is the sensitive one, it also usually takes a day or so to come back. If your PCR is negative you should be good to go. For those who are immune deficient they may not clear virus as well and virus / remnants may linger long after the disease has passed. That's why the CDC put in that doctors note option.

Trip Summary Update June 27-July 4th: SA, Casas, centro, Lleras, street pickup, group hang out, heartbreak, betrayal, gay parade, police called.

Heartbreak / betrayal.

This title "Heartbreak" is rather for entertainment. The buddy I met from the plane and many others I've already hangd with will immediately tell you one thing for sure about me, that I'm a hardcore MF, insensitive and ruthless at times. I use logic above all emotions, but overall try to play fair.

So in this story, met a solid 8 initially in Centro while few buddies and I were hanging out. She's 27, has a younger sister who's even hotter, from Venezuela. It's possible some of you have met them. I met those two again, including a whole posse also while at Parque Lleras at nights, numbers already exchanged since the centro meet. Then this past Thurs morning she contacted me to see if I wantd to take her after she saw me both in Centro then Lleras prev day, I offerd 100 k for an HR, she counter with 250 k min, then I advised her hey I met you frist at Centro, and we all know the going rate and that's what I'll pay, so she counted again with 120/ HR, and two hours 240 k. I took the 2 hours option incl taxi since she was coming directly from home (lives in Poblado). Came and spent 3 hours, very friendly, great session, two rounds, 240 k. She was very relaxed, didn't even want to leave, and we only left the room since buddy was on his way to grab lunch together. So I invited her, we all ate lunch together, chilled, laughed, then she proposed to take me out to Guatape on Sat, would spend the night both Fri and Sat at no charge although I had plan to compensate her properly. When she was in the room, we did talk about a lot things, family, etc. She was ok to become friends, and we had a good vibe. I almost forgot I was dealing with a WG. Oh well. This is the friendly part of me. When I meet someone who opens up, I open up also and share a bit and allow them in my circle.

So during lunch, buddy mentioned and asked about her sister since we all saw the sister in the street, prob a solid 8. 5/9, then she said after lunch she'll go find the sister, and can meet us later at Lleras for a double date. Date was solid, as I we had plan to take them to Lleras park club, get a bottle etc. We did something like that the night before with two chicas from Lleras. When we arrived at the park, buddy she's her, crossed the street and got her attention, and pointed her to me from across, she saw me, waived and I waived back thinking she'll come talk to me to figure out where we're going the 4 of us. Suddenly some other dude grabbed her and they talkd for a while. At first I thought she was giving out her number, she's a WG and no biggie, but she did the worst thing you can imagine. First, I saw the guy she's talking to staring at me incl a friend of his, not sure what she told them, perhaps she has a date with me, guy seemed over agitated and was negotiating very hard LOL. Then walked to a bar and bought her a drink. While I'm waiting across with my buddy, a beautiful Vennie came to talk to me and proposed me, I declined. But when I decl a girl, sometimes I say things like, maybe later. Then I notice the girl who came to propose is a friend of my date, so I'm being set up, my date sent another girl my way so she can go away with the aggressive dude? Yikes!!

She did just as I imagined, she walked away with the guy. After a while, in disappointment, took the courage to go ask the younger sister what happened, sister said my date thought I agreed to go with the friend. I'm like that BS, and she did that as a way to not look so guilty, to manipulate. I almost took the younger sister home instead as a revenge, but I didn't even want to mess with that crew. To me it's disrespectful. I don't expect complete honor among working girls, but still a little decency goes a long way. Because there was absolutely no reason for it, I got money just like that guy she left with, plus we had plans for many more dates. It's true WG aren't smart. They'd rather make quick buck now, and lose out of a more stable source including a friendship. First, you can't truly break someone's heart unless they're in love with you, so I wasn't heartbroken, but definitely felt betrayed in some form.

Later that night we had a heated discussion via text as to what happened. She sounded very convinced that I accepted her friend's offer, or she's a good manipulator, especially since it's her friend that came to me. What a coincidence? Then she immediately came to tell you? Whatthefuckever I wasn't born yesterday. Then claimed that's why she left with the guy. I'm like you couldn't even approach me to confirm? We broke bread together earlier, we bonded, I deserved at least that. Your girl came and talkd to me for two minutes, and you're telling you were willing to walk away with another guy in front of me, without a word? In fact, while we were in bed earlier, I even told her how I turn women down, by telling them later cause I don't want to be rude sometimes and laughed that it's a terrible way. Now you're telling me I told your friend maybe later, and you believed it? Made no sense. Anyhow, she apologized, but obvio all future dates are cancelled. I don't care if she fucks 20 guys a day, but when it's my turn, it's my turn. If I have to wait for another guy, and you skip me right in front of me, you're trash. I did exchange some harsh words, and was my error once more to think a hoe can have honorable words.

Great report man, I'm so behind on all mine LOL. I feel you on somewhat feeling betrayed. A lot all girls are not like that, but for the ones that are I feel like it's just something their taught growing up or getting into this. They don't even notice what they're doing is wrong.

How do you get by getting bareback services in centro? Do they feel unsafe / offended if you mention it and what percentage do you guys reckon would accept it for a 30 k tip, I plan on taking PrEp with me so inb4 don't do bare, thanks.

I've worn one condom in my past two trips ( 19 days). Some will do it, some will not. You won't know until you ask LOL.

[Quagmire1974]

I am planning my first trip to Medellin in September or October. I have stayed in Costa Rica before at the Sportsman's Lodge and am looking for a similar experience. Low key, kind of quiet, food and beverages available in or nearby, safe and secure and enough girls to choose from to have some variety and keeping it interesting. Even some girls around if you feel the urge mid-day. I am not interested in the late night nightclub scene, pursuing and finding the ultimate 20 year old cover model, wandering the streets at night, negotiating the lowest ultimate price, or getting on a dating app. I speak little or no Spanish. Any suggestions for a similar experience? I've heard mention of Mansion?

Welp, looks like I have COVID. I had a domicilio come over on a Sunday, yes, you read that right. It took about an hour to find a company doing testing on Sunday, or even Monday on a Festivo, for that matter.

+57 314 643 7513 in WhatsApp // 150 k for the antigen test // immediate results then emailed in less than 24 hours.

I have extremely mild symptoms. I woke up a couple mornings with a dry throat / mouth and some congestion. I noticed a shortness of breath on my 20 minute walk up the hill to Tesoro Smart Fit, and decided to get tested. I have a couple buddies arriving mid-week, and Pinky is set to go home at the same time to see her family. My energy level is a bit low, and I have some congestion. That's about it.

I was notified on Saturday that a gringo I went out with the past Saturday had two nights of chills and night sweats, and got a positive test result. I told him I was fine, and couldn't be sure about my mild symptoms because of partying for a couple nights. Anyway, we had gone out to eat then to a club with Pinky and her friend. The girls have no symptoms. I've had a couple 3somes and none of the girls have any symptoms.

If I contracted it last Saturday, I'm 9 days in. I had "symptoms" maybe starting Friday, without realizing it. Any experts here hahahahahahaha ok ok, any experts that actually know what the fuck they're talking about? My buddies arrive Wednesday. If I wake up symptom-free, tomorrow, and get a negative test tomorrow night or Wednesday morning, am I ok to host one of them and go out? I don't want to be that asshole that goes out with COVID. I also don't want to have my buddy stranded at a hotel or AirBnB with no guide and no Spanish, but it is what it is. Should I get a second test, or just be conservative and isolate?

The guy who tested positive told me zinc, Vitamin the, hydrate, eat protein, Tylenol. Any other tricks?

I have had 25 hangovers worse than my current symptoms, in this calendar year.

I, and many others, will probably regret this post! Apologies in advance! I just feel like the first page of Google results might be as misleading as what's to follow, here, and this will certainly be more entertaining.

Best of luck! I got it last July in Tijuana but had mild symptoms and didn't get tested until I lost taste or smell. I think what you're doing is great, it affects everyone differently so hopefully you only get mild symptoms as I did.

[Mojo Bandit]

My main concern was food. It is absolutely dreadful.

Did you try using Rappi?
