[QUOTE=Nypher;2954790]Use Uber or DiDi.

You do not want to be arguing over them not having change, getting lost, suddenly increasing the price, take you to a checkpoint to get extorted by the police, or worse taking you for the million-dollar ride where they stop somewhere, and others get in the taxi to rob you. They will make a wrong turn in Crespo and you will be relieved of your items. Crespo may look safe but its not, same as Marbella and Getsemani. The police presence is not there to deter opportunistic thieves.[/QUOTE]I guess the person in the article don't read the forums. I literary just said this about the million-dollar ride and they got got. SMH.

Nobody knows me so the only possible thing they could want is money. Nobody leaves their house saying let me go down here and help some strangers out. They will definitely leave it saying let me go down here and see what I can get from some strangers though.

Colombia is second in the world (behind Afghanistan) in heavily deployed land mines placed by dissident groups and rebels. 1 in 5 towns in Colombia are affected and civilians are the main casualties of death and injury. Every 48 hours 5 people are injured or killed by land mines in Colombia.

It was a Public Service Announcement, dummy.

I am a financially fortunate, 70 yo, Caucasian American Widower, who only speaks English. The dream is to find a GF's where the relationship is good on both sides of a closed door. Intelligent, NSA & English speakers are ideal. I don't expect this to be inexpensive. How / Where to find? All intel is most welcome.

You didn't explicitly state long term relationship or one date and done, but you did say "relationship" and "both sides of a closed door". My advice is to try a few avenues and see what's best to your liking. Most, but not all, advice on these forums are P4 P. If you want a good date including todo la noche (or amanecida) then with your desire for intelligence and English, I think you will be best with a good agency (like LaCelestina in BOG / MDE). Without experience in Colombia or Spanish, I don't think you'll find what you are looking for in [URL]Photoprepagos.com[/URL], Milleroticos, and certainly in casa, nor the zonas de tolerencias (Centro in MDE, Santa Fe in BOG, around Clocktower in CTG). You can try seeking or tinder, but my experience is there is more pros highly skilled at getting high prices there.

If you want non-pro, in Bogota visit Gringo Tuesdays -- a learning language bar only open on Tuesdays. You can either go to learn spanish or to teach english. Either at whatever level you want. For other non-pro and semi-pro, consider looking at Colombia Cupid. There are a LOT of lonely women, especially 40+, throughout the country and there are filters for education level, english, etc. On your profile, be careful what you state else you'll get catfish, gold diggers, and the like. I haven't used for a few years now, but it was an outstanding source. NONE of the women I met were pros, but all appreciated a good meal and whatever gifts I felt like giving. Quite a few refused to accept cash (though they needed it).

You will want to learn some Spanish and your future novia can help with that. If you refuse to learn spanish, the search will take longer or the price will go up. Learning about the culture will help you A LOT as well. I HIGHLY suggest the book Culture Smart: Colombia (it's a series available for many countries).

Happy hunting.

Wow! Thank you for taking the time & energy for this response. It is very useful information. I am looking for a mature woman, with an active libido, to have an ongoing relationship with. I have re-started my Spanish study and really appreciate the tip about Tuesday learning.

One important question: Is oral sex a positive thing among the non-pros?

[QUOTE=PilotPete;2968737]One important question: Is oral sex a positive thing among the non-pros?[/QUOTE]What do you mean is it a positive thing? It is just something normal people do in a relationship or when they have sex. That is like asking is it a positive thing to eat with a fork at a restaurant. Usually just something that comes with the territory.

[QUOTE=PilotPete;2968737]I am looking for a mature woman, with an active libido, to have an ongoing relationship with. [/QUOTE]There are plenty to chose from. This is not a great forum though as it is dominated by P4 P and those seeking younger chichas. There are exceptions.

[QUOTE=PilotPete;2968737] One important question: Is oral sex a positive thing among the non-pros?[/QUOTE]There is a whole spectrum of women available. Generally speaking, it's accepted as a normal part of a relationship. There are exceptions.

I may be flamed for this on this forum, but it is true. Colombia is a socially conservative country, particularly for middle and upper class. You will be well served to read the Culture Smart: Colombia book and what it says about family life and relationships.

Especially for a non-pro you are looking for a potentially long term relationship, you need to understand first about their family situation and then their income stability.

Family first in Colombia. This also can shape a lot of what the relationship could be like. Single mothers are the norm, in fact Colombia has one of the highest % of single mothers worldwide. It's normal for adult children to live with their adult mother, who is often responsible for the care of her parents. Knowing what her family situation is can impact what type of relationship she can have. How much time she could spend with you and if she could travel. Early on in the relationship, perhaps after a few weeks, you will be expected to meet the family. Don't take that lightly, it's a big deal and typically signals that she wants a serious relationship. Or maybe she just wants a free dinner for the family (if she invites you to go out to eat with them). While it may feel awkward for you, it's your opportunity to shine. Enjoy being the center of attention.

Knowing your GF's real economic situation is important as that can also shape the relationship. IMO, income level is not as important as income stability. The job market is incredibly difficult for mature single women unless they have been in a career or a job for a long time, so it is often the case that adult children, especially boys, support their mother financially.

You will want to know where she lives as well as that enters into the economic dynamic quickly. Often online you'll be told that they live in one area of the city when in fact they live someplace else, often a lower estrado. Don't hold that against them. If you're in a major city, offer to send an Uber for your first date and they'll share their address. You can use google street view to get a sense of the area. For some people, that's a make-or-break situation if they are from a lower class area. Others are more open minded.

I am old and was married a long time to a woman who didn't enjoy it, but loved receiving oral.

How would you say in Spanish "Jerk me off a little bit. "?

[QUOTE=VW1936;2969322]How would you say in Spanish "Jerk me off a little bit. "?[/QUOTE]The verb I know for masturbation is 'pajarse. ' So you could say, 'Pajame un poquito. ' Now that may not be valid in Colombia. But in Argentina, 'haciendo la paja' is masturbating and if a chica calls you a 'pajero,' that's not good!
