General Info

Thanks. I was in my head too much trying to figure out what their response is when a fortyish-looking guy on FB is contacting their 21-year old self, saying, Let's meet, I want to see you.

Don't want them thinking that I'm trying to go at it at the pure civilian level, and then ignore me, like "what the hell, you're too old to date".

But then I realize, most of them have been probably having P4P relp's for a while, so they know my intent when they see my profile and message.

I'll just be straightforward, but ease into it of course.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2423144]Pick whichever ones you like the looks of. There's really no need to start contacting them until a week before you arrive. Just send them a Hello, how are you, maybe follow with a compliment, tell them you'll be in town soon and tell them you want to see them, "quiero verte. " Most will let you know if you're on the right track.

You can't really base much on their pictures.[/QUOTE]

Four times since I have been in Colombia (I thought it was 3 but I remember another time), there have been women who didn't want a gift when I was done with them. Looking back on it, three out of the four times the women have done so, they were from smaller cities, Villavencio, Porto Colombia, and Necoclia. The weird part is that after being with two of them one time, they were ready to declare me their life long love.

I am not sure how to divide Colombians. The Colombians themselves do it with Rolos, Paisas, and Costenos. I have to say that I haven't noticed it as much being to three of the big four cities in Colombia: Barranquilla, Medellin, and Bogota. For all the Colombian stereotypes, all places had beautiful women, and I didn't notice that much of a difference in the attitudes of people culturally among those three groups, but I did with the big city versus small town girl.

I guess people I could RTFF and see what people say about small town or maybe smaller town women. Unlike the big city women who seem to be telling you what you want to hear and give you the illusion of passion, with the small town girls, it seems more real. I was curious if others have noticed the difference between big city and small town girls, and if anyone who has traveled to Colombia, has visited a few of the towns where there is abundance of the gold that is the small town girl.

For those here, that mostly stay at El Poblado or Parque Lleras, do you ever message your FB chicas who live in Bello, Antioquioa?

It's kind of a hike, like at least 30 min or so. If you do, do they usually go along with it and drive to your apt / hotel, etc?

Makes me want to have a separate fb account for just this activity. If I post on my timeline that I'm on my way to Medellin for a week, holy crap! I can do this!

It just came to me. FB lets you exclude your friends that you don't want to see your post. It would be a lot of work, but I could hide the post from all of my regular family / friends / high school alumni, etc. , in that "post privacy" widget-ami-jig.

This is a great idea. I was originally going to say, before this Eureka moment during this post I'm typing out, that my regular fb friends would think it's weird that I'm posting my trips to MDE, and it's awkward if noone replies or likes the post. But if I made the post only visible to mde chicas, that's a lot better.

[QUOTE=Uthred;2420336]Which one is your preferred one to use in Colombia or are they all pretty much the same?[/QUOTE]Uber just came back 4 days ago. They decided they no longer will be paying for people's fines or tow fees any more while waiting to come to an agreement to legalize the service, but otherwise it's the same.

Beat is, I think, an Argentinian app, very similar to Uber. You have to tip in cash, and you can't program in multiple destinations (you can do almost the same thing by changing the destination along the way and it repeatedly re-calculates the fare), but otherwise it's the same. I couldn't get my US card to work with it so had to set up a Colombian card. ALL rideshare apps in Colombia allow you to pay the driver cash BTW. Beat is 20% or so cheaper than Uber.

Picap gives you the option of a car or a motorcycle to pick you up, which is useful for cutting through Bogota's insane traffic. If you choose the car option, prices are in line with Beat. The motorbike option is about 20% cheaper than that. I had the same card issues with Picap as with Beat.

Cabify and Easy Taxi are both apps that will send you a yellow taxi. I avoid those for that reason. They are also more expensive than Uber.

DiDi is Chinese, drivers don't like it so a lot of them don't drive it. I also wouldn't give a penny to the Chinese government so I've never used it.

There's also InDriver, where you offer a certain price to go to a certain destination. I've never used it personally.

And finally there's a new app called Treas that someone handed me a pamphlet for a couple weeks ago, but I have no further info on it.

Easier than blocking the post from everyone else.

Second, they know where the gringos like to stay. They are more than happy to take the trip in order to get paid. Most will expect you to pay for the taxi.

There's always the metro plus taxi option. It's much faster, especially during peak traffic, and cheaper.

They will go to where you are using taxis, Uber or similar, or their boyfriend. Just agree to pay a taxi fare, and they will be wherever you want them.

I used DiDi for travel around Medellin after Uber shut down without any problem until yesterday. I requested a car to go from Laureles to the airport bus stop near San Diego mall. I exited the apartment with my carry on bag, sat it down, and went back to get my other bag, which was just inside the door. As I came out, the driver was driving away. He had just arrived as I brought out my first bag, so it wasn't a waiting time issue. The app showed free cancellation of the request. I then requested another DiDi car. A driver accepted, but after waiting about five minutes, the app showed he had not moved. I cancelled and requested a Cabify taxi.

I recall someone else posted about problems getting DiDi to go to the airport. Seems they don't like taking luggage. I didn't know DiDi was a Chinese company. Because of that, I will not use them when I return to Medellin. I will use Uber or Beat.

[QUOTE=KetoAndKettle;2422975]
There are certain women that have Bar Poas as a FB friend, or one such as: Medellin Rob or something, forgot.

And there are certain of them, that just outright has some rated are pics, like in a g-string.

Can you pretty much assume, they'd be down for meeting you, in the above categories?

I also have some that have pics of kids and don't see a daddy, so part of you thinks: "hmm, she probably needs some financial help with that."[/QUOTE]If a chica has even one obvious old man gringo friend, 90% chance she is a prepago if she has 2 then its 110% , if she has a photo of her in panties, 100% chance she is a prepago, another tell sign is if she has photos of her in horns or some horns superimposed on her head in a photo, if she has a silhouette of something with horns or the devil emoji with horns. I am 80% sure that these are prepagos. I have found plenty of chicas that have none of the above that are chicas but most of the chicas I have found that have this on their profile are prepago. Get a Forum membership and I can help you more through private messages.

I'll just be straightforward, but ease into it of course.[/QUOTE]Flirt with them right off the bat, do not be shy, I have guys messaging me telling me that they do not get responses when they message chicas and when I ask them what they are saying its usually some dry business approach, these are chicas and while we always want to keep in our minds that they are about our money (cause they are) we can still help them maintain the illusion that we are romantic, as they do every time they call us "amor" or "cielo"(which by the way is how you know for sure she is prepago when she addresses you with a term of endearment). You can do this but keep in mind that some might immediately try to take advantage of you. I handle that by being just as full of shit as they are. If they say "Amor I need some money because i am about to lose my apartment" I can either go to settings and block her "ignore her messages" or if she is super hot and I want to leave the door open to fuck her later, I can say some BS right back "I don't have it now, I lost my job after the accident but as soon as I get my settlement money I will have the money to come to medellin and then we talk about what we can do for each other". I am not about to contradict JjBee62, there is no need to contact them until a week or so before you arrive. But sometimes you want to assure yourself that the chica you are looking at is a prepago so then its not a bad idea, and always lead off with "I am coming to Medellin in blah blah days" so the know you are serious. Then you can flirt a little by telling her she is beautiful and you want to spend some time with her throw in some kissy emoji and a dollar sign emoji, often the third thing I say to the hotter ones is "I want to bury my face between your legs". I have not had one that did not like that a lot. I have accidentally talked to chicas that were not prepago and none were offended that I thought they were.

About the Facebook thing, if you want to keep this separated from say the activity that your coworkers, friends and family see, then here are a couple of tips. Absolutely you would be better off with a separate profile. This is getting harder to do because FB has tightened up on fake and duplicate profiles. Also you have to start over. So here are a few tips if you choose or have to stay with your primary profile.

In Facebook you can choose who sees your post as was stated earlier. This is important too because if a chica can see your post than they can "like" of even comment on your posts and your whole Facebook world might then take notice. You can have a set group of friends who see your posts, yes it is a pain in the ass but once you do it once, you do not have to do it again. You can separate your friends into categories, say you put all your chica friends into the category of "acquaintances" , then when you go to post "I am on a flight to Medellin" go to the box where you make a post, click on "create a post" then in that box that pops up there is another box that wants you to say who you are posting to it might say "Public" of "Friends" etc, if you click on that box a drop down box opens and you can scroll down and see "acquaintances" . Disclaimer: I have never tested this. You can also create your own groups. You want a group that says "Medellin" you can do this. When you click on someones profile and you see the box that says you are "friends" you can click on that box and drop down opens, says "close friends" "acquaintance" scroll down and it says add to another list, click that and at the bottom of that is an option that says "new list". , type in say Medellin and that creates your medellin list and it will be a new option everytime you add another friend.

When I meet a chick on a dating site and she starts with that amor and bb stuff I aak why she is calling me that when she does not even know me. They always say that is how they talk in their country. I say so if I walk in the store to buy something, the lady is going to tell me amor? They say yes. I say well that is funny because I have been there 100 times and it has never happened. Then of course it always turns out the chick is a hooker.

I was out to dinner in Brazil with my girlfriend the other night. She looked at a couple next to us and started laughing. I said what? She whispered I don't know if that is his girlfriend or his daughter. Dude was like 70 and the chick was like 30. So I asked what is wrong with that. She said nothing. Then she told me when she got married she was 19 and her husband was 39. I said damn. He was smart. She told me a story of how they got on the bus and he paid the money and the driver said sir you forgot to pay for your daughter.

Then I told the story before of my ex girlfriend in Cali. We met on a dating site and she fessed up to being 16. I said no way. She was born the month before I graduated high school. She said my family will not care. I said well you call me when you are 18. She called me when she turned 18 and I went to see her. Her mom used to cook 3 meals a day for us. Her mom and dad used to ask me to sleep at the house (couch though). They never asked me for anything. Now she is divorced with 2 small kids, but we still talk every now and then.

Serious question though that I just thought about. What are some gigs that one can do from anywhere in the world to make a decent living? I know there are lots of day traders that do alright but other than that I am not sure. Online English teachers do ok but not a lot of cash. I'd love to be able to work from home in Thailand one month and then be in another country the following month. That would be my dream right there! Master, school the student.
