There are several good reports already on this thread for trip panning purposes so this is just some observations from last month. I had a good time.
As others have been noting, there seems to be a sustained increase*in tourists coming to the city.
Multiple Airbnb's I have stayed before and other hotels either had limited availability or no availability at all. The rise of remote workers may also have contributed to this.
The immigration line took about 30 minutes and I had one of my regular chica pick me up. I saw a drunk tourist on his first visit pull out his phone and show pics of FB chicas to multiple people while asking them about getting to Poblado. This kind of behaviour is appalling!
Whenever I did street and casas, I generally noticed a fairly good increase in tourists than last year. Do not know if this is coming off of pandemic rebound or because*this is a good mongering destination and tourist growth is organic. Casas girls have also increased their tips, from 20 k to 50 or 100 k.
I met multiple ISGers and we hung out and created a WhatsApp group. We also went to a few bars in Manrique.
Most of this year, I used tinder / bumble and other sites for overnight wine and dine, kept off of FB, Did not pick up anyone in the PL area but either ways the area is in construction and SWers have moved.
Sugar dating sites have changed the game a bit. There are multiple profiles who are on bumble, SA and tinder but also on FB. Several are students or office workers and you have to arrange your schedule based on when they get off work. My go to places for dinner are either in Provenza or mercado del rio.
Several chicas in SA have specialized, one specifically has a passport and mostly wants to travel. One picks up those who are nomad workers. She cooks, cleans the apartment and laundry during working hours etc. And establishes a long term relationship. Multiple chicas have shown their principal daddies who sent monthly maintenance but are able to come only once a year.
Many SA chicas I have seen early in the year have now moved on to other (richer) daddies. *One explicitly told me that I cannot afford her since she is high maintenance despite me paying her generously by SA standards. She got 2 iphone 14 pros from one of her regular guys!
Over Past couple of trips, I met multiple chicas with a day job and was able to do some activities. A swim instructor took me to the school where she worked and I had a good time watching her teach. One nursing student took me to her classes in Cena. I met a girl who works as a dentist in centro area and sat in her clinic watching her doing fillings and ogling her assistants.
One chica asked to if she could bring Novio after seeing my apartment. She came over next day with her BF* and we drank and went to a disco in Poblado. He left after partying and she left in the morning.
I will be travelling to smaller towns on my next trip and will report back.
