Medellin Reports

[Gabacho]

Nomars777,

We must have met before and I didn't realize you were also on ISG. I've told dozens of guys that Banco Caja Social doesn't charge Bank of America debit card holders any fees. You can withdraw a maximum of 300 k pesos per transaction but you can do this multiple times. Banco Colombia charges 22,500. You get that days rate. It's a lot better than bringing dollars and losing 10% or more every time you need to change..

Davivienda also doesn't charge a fee and they have higher withdrawal limits. I've heard Scotiabank also but that one doesn't work with my card but it may work for Bank of America.

Getting with regular girls in Medellin is almost impossible for Americans. Especially as a white guy. They know we are there for hookers, so a regular girl wouldn't be caught dead with us because people will think she is a hooker.

Biggest load of crap I've ever heard here on ISG.

I was just doing my weekly grocery shopping at D1 and as I was pricing the frozen entremuslos de pollo I heard "holaaa holaaa. " I looked up from the freezer and standing there was one of my paisa barrio chicas I've been fucking since August.

She came up to me and asked me "como esta" and gave me a big as hug in front of everyone and then called her mother to come and she even introduced me to her mother.

And she is not a hooker by any means, granted I help her out with 100 Lukas each time she fuxks me raw, but she is not in Botero or Poblado standing around looking for customers. She isn't on mil eroticos or photoprepagos or seeking or any of that shit either.

She is a single stay at home mother who lives with her own mother. And she says that the little bit of money that I give her helps her out more with buying diapers and food for her son than the help she gets from the child's father, which is basically nothing from what I understand.

I've spent time in more than a few countries. I haven't found one yet where this ATM vs other methods is not rock solid.

With respect to obtaining pesos, you certainly can exchange USD for COP at the money changing places, but in my experience their rates are terrible. Instead, I withdraw from my regular bank account using my debit card at any of the ATMs that are at the airport and / or in Medellin if I didn't take out enough the first time.

US banks typically provide very close the exchange rate as posted on Google (USD to COP) and there's sometimes no ATM fee for the local bank when using a foreign ATM card. Not always true, but has happened occasionally. Either way, I get very close to the market rate vs. The low rates provided by the money exchange places.

One guy from the US I met in Medellin last time said that Bank of America charged zero fees for withdrawing from Banco de Caja Social (I think, might be Bancolombia) and their ATM also charged no fees, so it was a pure USD to COP transaction at the market rate.

For some reason this is said on pretty much every thread on ISG.

Does not mean that it is true. Some girls are trying to find Captain Saveaho. Of course they are going to tell guys what they want to hear.

In which country do the men not treat the women like shit?

In every country men treat their girls well. They even marry them. Most ISG posters are not dealing with the top 10% of girls in any country they visit. Most don't realize how tight that circle is.

Good evening fellow perverts, I'm going to be in Medellin next week (11th-19th,) and just had a couple of questions:

A.) Any forum members more experienced with the area want to meet up, grab a drink and a bite, my treat? Would love to get a better lay of the land.

Be.) Would love some tips for setting up a second Facebook for the purposes of finding some of these much conversed about FB Girls. Do you just use a fake name, real pictures of yourself, and set the location to Medellin? Curious how one goes about this whole process, and I obviously don't want ANY overlap with my civilian Facebook, this needs to be real hush hush.

See.) Best locations for the exchange of USD to COP. As usual, I procrastinated, and it's a bit late to use my regular bank, so it looks like I'll be flying in with USD and figuring it out.

Feel free to DM me, and many thanks in advance for any information provided, my only mongering outside of the country has been Tijuana, and this seems like an entirely different ball game. I really do appreciate everyone on these boards for taking the time to educate and inform. Hope why'all had a wonderful weekend and a smooth rest of your week!

That's absolute nonsense. On the average Colombians treat their women like shit. Any guy with a little game, a solid job, and who treats their girl like a princess can do well in Colombia. My guess is your issues fall somewhere in the above.

To have game you need to speak Spanish. Period. What are you going to do point or use Google translate all night. To go up to a 9 at the park lleras dance clubs, and get a 100% regular girl is very hard. They will usually be with at least 2 other girls or a guy friend mixed in. Go up to a set like that with no Spanish and they will laugh at you as the working girl chasing American. They might not say it but will think it and you will feel very uncomfortable. All the attractive girls I saw on tinder were half dressed and look like hookers to me. I'm talking the attractive ones. The 5's and 6's are not part of this discussion.

As far as guys that live there for 180 days, of course they can get a regular girl. I'm talking about the guys that are asking that are there for 2 weeks.

I'm not saying they are wrong at all. First timers are asking how hard is it to get with a 100% non pro in Medellin. I'm saying if you are white, don't speak Spanish, it will be almost impossible. Most girls on tinder are working girls. I can't speak for other cities in Colombia. If you are brown or black and speak Spanish, you have a leg up over us whites from Europe or America. You can bullshit your way through "why are you in Colombia".

MOST girls on Tinder (bumble, facebook, colombian cupid) are not working girls. Some of them are, no doubt about it, but they are not majority.

You are talking about weekend warriors, who come down there for party and pussy. They don't even have time to look for regular girls, and what's the point? But there are guys living down there full time, expats, or guys who stay there for extended periods of time, maxing out 180 days limit. They can afford to invest time and effort in finding non pros (even english speaking ones). Who doesn't want to date a decent white guy who has a solid job and some game (as the other poster mentioned), and who is not a weekend warrior?

Also, there is a huge semi-pros category of women. They are not working girls because they don't make a living selling pussy. But they do put out once in a while to supplement income or just have a good time with the right guy, travel, etc.

As it should be. If you are serious about having a relationship and some sort of future then of course, regular girls. But if all you want is what most here want then no need to lie and pretend you want something more. The more honest approach is pay for play.

As to the second part of your comment. If she is a "regular girl" and she is with you she is either looking for a relationship or looking for money.

Unless, in the very rare situation that you are young and she is just looking for sex. Dream on.

Well if you are there for the hookers, are they wrong? If you are a White American guy that does not speak Spanish and only stays in Poblado, what are the chances? I am a Black American guy that speaks Spanish, has never stayed in Poblado and knows more of the country than them. No problem getting regular girls.

I managed to meet some amazing regular women in Bogota and Medellin either through Badoo or FB. You do have to put the effort into it and have some spanish so that you can have a conversation without using the translator much.

I'm here in Medellin with a group of friends, if anyone wants to grab a beer let me know, PM me or something or just leave a note here and I'll PM you back. So far the intel I can give is that right on calle 10 close to parque lleras and provenza there are a lot of working girls mostly Venezuelan it seems. Haven't taken anyone but I've seen guys talk to the girls and take them. I went to a reggaeton club called Riko in provenza it was really good. Reggaeton all night.
