Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2738703]My thoughts on this, well first off, it's obvious that you haven't RTFF going back a at least a few months.

Granted there is a huge backlog of posts to read, but you will not achieve what you want to do in five days, and you will only scratch the surface here with all the mongering venues, and unless you have some Spanish speaking skills it's going to be tough, and if you think a translator is going to handle any language issues, well good luck with that.

Your probably better pressed to stay at the Mansion, and hire a driver / guide to take you around.

This is my recommendation for a maiden voyage only lasting five days.

I'm not trying to be an asshole about this, but you asked, and this is my advice to you.

Some guys show up here, and think since they've mongered all over the world like you that it might be a cakewalk here.

Well it won't be until you've spent a fair amount of time here.

What you would like to achieve on your maiden voyage is akin to a wet dream.

Sorry to be so blunt about this, but you asked for thoughts and advice and hopefully you have thick skin.

Good Luck![/QUOTE]Yep, I gotcha, no offense taken. I wouldn't have posted had I been cocky enough to think I could fly through this by just going back 50 pages (and intermittent reading over the last couple years). Every bit of turf is different, I think past debauchery gives me a leg up, but again, I'm tip toeing for those 5 days. Realistically I have little chance of being able to come often or for much more that 5-7 days considering my work and relationship status. But I have had many successful misadventures off the strength of experience and researching these forums. My Spanish is suuuper far from fluent but it's also smooth enough to not be labeled as basic. I've successfully navigated all types of transactional / simple relationship building convos. Small talk stuff with a sprinkle Joe of charm.

Unfortunately the mansion just isn't a realistic option. I'm there for work, so my daily schedule is sporadic and mongering is second priority. This stacks the odds up against me even further. But, I think what I'm gathering is: keep your expectations reasonable. Maybe my goal is just to find one gem that I can get some solid rocks off with and maybe some footage for memory's sake. I feel like aiming for anything more is unreasonable. After all, I'm all.

Of the experiences before it's hard to really be bat over. 500 as far as memorable, enjoyable, repeatable experiences wishing the span of a few days to a week in any American city or trip abroad. So if I secure 4 in 5 days with yield 1 gen I think that'll be a success. The experience helps with those initial vibe checks. Inexperience tends to lead many to believe that a girl who's initial attitude isn't great could still yield a great experience. I don't care how hot the chick is, if the attitude aint right, I walk away.

Thanks for the words, all this stuff is getting filed under the "don't forget what your Colombian monger fore fathers taught you" section of the brain.

[QUOTE=Vitrea;2738743]Hotel Haven has heated pool. I believe Click Clack and Charlie pools are heated too.[/QUOTE]The majority of the swimming pools in the larger Hotels in Medellin are heated. If they weren't, than what would be the point of having one.

The largest Hotel pool in Medellin is at the Intercontinental Hotel. It's a full on Olympic size pool and is very wide, meaning more than just a few lanes, and it's heated of course. So for guys looking for a pool to swim laps in, well this is the place, albeit the location isn't the greatest.

Another option is the Landmark Hotel in Manila, albeit the pool length is not Olympic in length, about 22 yards, but will suffice, and I have stayed there. They probably have the longest roof top pool in Medellin, however it's quite narrow, only about three lanes wide.

Additionally, all of the public swimming pools in Medellin are heated like at Estadio, Bellen, and other sport centers around the City.

Another option is the water park adjacent to the local airport. They have several pools, and a few of them are heated, albeit the main wave pool is not.

Also, showering before entering the pool and wearing a swim cap is required at most places.

Thanks for the check log info, it works with your connecting flight, I was able to use ATM, currency exchange place are bunch of thieves,3,200 to $1.

Only bad part hotel won't check me until 3 pm.

[QUOTE=Vitrea;2738741]BTW, when you input flight number, just use the number and don't input the airlines prefix.

True story about Check-mig process..[/QUOTE]The app is very "buggy" . It has not been tested across multiple browsers so the functionality doesn't work on all. Its a disgrace, to be fair, that a government immigration service demands use of smthg so flawed.

I'm not one to defend the government but to be fair I must say checkmig is one of the better functioning government web resources. Count your blessings you don't have to deal with the tax, immigration, or bank web sites. You never know what will happen after you make a keystroke.

[QUOTE=MaddTraveler;2738751]Hopefully this may help those with Check-Mig issues:

Don't use any 3rd party sites. Go directly to the Colombian site, migracion (no space) Colombia. Gov. Co / Click on check-mig banner, then click on another check-mig banner.[/QUOTE]Use this link to make it a little easier: [URL]https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co/pre-registro/public/preregistro.jsf[/URL].

Also, be sure to use the flight number of the flight that arrives at MDE. If you have a connection flight, don't use the number of the first flight.

I wonder why Colombian (and Mexican also) tech resources are so terrible. It is 2022. Nothing fucking works. Check-mig is just a Database collecting site. A high schooler could write the code. Bancolombia to Viva air to utilities to car registration to credit card systems (to do business) all are terrible. Anyone know why? Lack of talent in tech?

Anyone here interested in a road trip to venesula let me know. WIll be leaving the 7th ot 8th from barrenqua figure stay there for about a week. I heard its mellowed out a bit. Pm me.

I look at mongering the same way I do with any business. You pay what you feel is right for the service you want. I do not send money to women nor give them any personal information for that matter. You would not expect a mechanic or waiter to ask for money to pay their rent. I treat the women with respect and am upfront on the amount and services but that is it. I believe the experience should be good for both people. I get fucked and she makes money. I usually tip if the service is good but not to build a relationship. I monger for a week at a time and banging the same woman over and over sounds too much like what I am escaping.

Lack of talent in tech?[/QUOTE]I'm not a computer or tech guy by any means, but I suspect part of the problem, which I've haven't heard mentioned yet, is that there are issues when someone uses the "English" version of the websites. A perfect example is why the United States is often listed as "Estados Unidos" instead of the United States, with my point being, that there are probably more glitches using the translated version of the websites versus the Spanish versions.

Also on a side note, I have a Bancolombia account, and in the past have had lots of problems associated with logging in, and getting locked out, and having to contact them to get back in. However over the last few years they seem to have gotten their act together, as their online banking seems on par with my accounts in the USA. I know that may sound suspect, but that has just been my most recent experience with them. They have an App for your phone, it's not in English, and I know enough Spanish to use it on my phone, and it works great. However I recall trying to do some online banking via my computer and recall trying to do something in the English version, and there were problems. Hence I suspect there is a "translation" issue associated with all these glitches.

[/QUOTE]If your that type of monger, its unlikely that you will allow any type of personal relationship to develop w a chica. In those cicumstances, your no more likely to send money to a chica than you are to send money to a hospice in Sao Tome.

Question.

Any one of have issues, using your card on the Rappi app, order keeps getting canceled because of verifying card crap.

In those cicumstances, your no more likely to send money to a chica than you are to send money to a hospice in Sao Tome.[/QUOTE]Well said. Both you and the OP are correct. We all have different types of interactions with different people. Some are purely transactional and some are more personal. I was at German and Austrian FKK last week. Purely transactional. I had good sex but after I paid them and a kiss on the cheek in the locker room, she did not even turn back. One girl was quite pretty and I asked her for her phone number as I really enjoyed speaking to her about life in general. She said, " why? I have no problem giving you my number but the odds are that we will never see each other again. " She reminded me that it is purely transactional.

On the other hand I have girls who I give carrer advice to, which classes to take and which ones are a waste of time or help chose her new puppies name. If she needs money, I am sending it to her. Mongering by definition means we are banging more than one girl. When I do find a gem, it is fun to repeat and get to know her intimately. Most of us here had so much sex in our lives, it is not about a climax anymore. It is about having fun and I truly enjoy finding out what turns on my companion. I am not George Clooney or Brad Pitt. For me true connection happens only with repeats but also by treating them with respect and kindness. (like the OP said).

[QUOTE=Havana927;2739255]Any one of have issues, using your card on the Rappi app, order keeps getting canceled because of verifying card crap.[/QUOTE]Yep. Had problems for over 1 year now. Have tried to use different cards and different accounts to no avail. So I have just been having the chick I am with order it and pay cash.

[QUOTE=Vitrea;2739257]One girl was quite pretty and I asked her for her phone number as I really enjoyed speaking to her about life in general. She said, " why?

Guys keep trying to turn hookers into friends. Meanwhile this is not done with anybody providing any other types of services. Nobody is on a plumbing website talking about how they had chemistry with the guy that came to install a new toilet and they keep in touch and are going to meet for drinks next week.

It is just something about sticking your dick into pussy that translate into automatic care and friendship for some guys. Good customer service does not mean you are now friends with the service provider.

Name all the dogs you want, but how many are showing up if there is not money involved? When these chicks start coming over twice each week without you having to give them money, then you have a freiend. But until then, Purely Transactional!
