No where is safe in SF.

Basic safety: don't drink or drug with locals and girls, modest=old clothes, don't stand out from the crowd, don't attract attention. Don't think that you are the coolest guy, and forget about North American attitude that you can say whatever you want because the police are protecting you. One murder in the area doesn't mean anything, people die in car accidents more often. If you get robbed, it's not fatal either. Say thanks for the experience and go home and enjoy life.

The guy was not just randomly killed. That is just like saying Utah Valley University is not safe because Charlie Kirk got killed there or The Ford Theater is not safe because President Lincoln got killed there. Those were targeted hits, not random acts of violence.

Yep, I agree with you-- the clubs and probably everything else is cartels-- a club owner was hit while driving in SF a few yrs back.

[Huacho]

Yeah, I'd read Laureles was nice but I was under the impression it was an expat area, rather than being especially convenient from a tourist perspective. Is that assumption incorrect?

Yes, incorrect. It is a normal, somewhat upscale area populated 98% by Colombians. I recommend it because it is reasonably safe, reasonably central, and has good restaurants and shopping.

I mostly stay downtown. Two times I have not stayed downtown, I have stayed in Laureles. There really isn't an expat area. Expats stay all over. The tourist area is Poblado. The only thing different about there is that there are tourist prices for accommodations and food. As far as anything being convenient from a tourist perspective, I would say they are all the same. The difference I would say is that if you are up in the hood somewhere it takes longer to get the rideshare to come amd of course there are less restaurants and stuff. But Laureles is just as good for tourists as Poblado.

[Pyrrhus]

I would recommend Laureles.

I guess I would be because for one people are not just standing idly around like that for you to be going back and forth trying to translate things.

I'm not claiming I can chat up any girl in any surroundings (far from it) but a lot of girls find it charming that you're making the effort to talk with them without knowing the language. Being willing to look a fool can go a long way.

I tend to date people for real. I am 53 and last night I went out with a chick who is 22. There was no conspicuousness about it. I told her mom on video that she would stay with me last night. Her mom said no but that I could come stay at their house. That is not unusual for me around here. Almost 20 years ago I had a girlfriend who just turned 18 and her parents used to like me to stay at their house.

I'm not going to lie, fucking a girl less than half my age while her parents are in the next room sounds like a huge turn on, but I'm not really interested in "dating" anyone on this trip. I doubt many parents would be too keen on me popping over to drain myself inside their daughter and then leaving, never to see them again.

Throughout the Medellin thread you will see places like New Life, Barra Ejecutiva, Amigas Sexy, Zandalay, etc. Those are casas / brothels. Pretty much every place you see named except Gustos will be what you are looking for. Put casa in the search bar and the reports with those places should come up. I have had no problem with mileroticos. If you see the pictures have changed then it is more than likely because the ad and contact number is of a casa / brothel where there are multiple women.

Cool. Thanks for the tips.

You'd be surprised how easy it can be to chat people up without speaking a word of the language.

Yes, tremendously surprised. Neighborhood-wise, I would recommend Laureles.

Nevertheless, I feel too conspicuous going on "dates" with girls half my age and am really only interested in paying them for sex,

If I just want to pay someone for sex then I go where I know I can easily pay for it.

Do you have any info on my other queries?

Unfortunately, if you are not speaking Spanish then you are not going to be chatting anyone up. Paraguay is one of the two Latin American countries that I have not been to, but I assume it is the same there.

You'd be surprised how easy it can be to chat people up without speaking a word of the language. Nevertheless, I feel too conspicuous going on "dates" with girls half my age and am really only interested in paying them for sex, in which case the language will likely be a barrier. But that's not a big deal providing there are other options.

Do you have any info on my other queries?

I read mention of a "map of casas" but it was for Bogota. Is there one for Medellin?

[Mr Enternational]

How do cute cafe / shop workers respond to being chatted up if I'm very clearly only interested in fucking them?

I'm going to be visiting Colombia for the first time in a few weeks. I don't speak any Spanish.

I've travelled a lot (80+ countries) and have done plenty of mongering in Europe and Asia (and a couple of experiences in Paraguay) but I've never been to Colombia before.

Now, ordinarily, I'd look through these forums for info and advice but the Colombia boards seem to be full of a lot of general chit-chat and despite going back a bunch of pages on a few of the boards, I didn't really learn much.

I think I'm correct in believing Medellin is Colombia's best destination for the hobby. Is there a best area to stay in (from a general tourist perspective, not necessarily for girls.).

I like college-age spinners. What are the best websites to look at? I've been looking at mileroticos, but I'm a little dubious of it. A few girls that I've bookmarked have been swapped with someone completely different the next time I've gone to look.

I'm not into pick-up bars at all. I prefer to pick a girl online and make a booking, or go to a brothel and pick a girl from a line up.

Are there any alternative options?

How do cute cafe / shop workers respond to being chatted up if I'm very clearly only interested in fucking them? How likely is it for a random college-age girl to accept money for sex with a gringo?

How's the erotic massage scene in Colombia? Particularly for prostate massages.

And importantly, how safe is mongering in Colombia? I mean, I'm not an idiot but I feel that Colombia has a general reputation for being more dangerous than most places I've been to. Besides obvious stupidity, is there anything I should avoid doing when seeking sex?

[Nypher]

I'm sorry to ask this question but I have to. Please believe me I did try to search the form before. First time going.

Is it customary and Cartagena to pay before or after?

I'm apologizing on the front end because some people are going to respond with go read the forums and please believe me I did try searching for it. Thank you for the help guys.

Pay after, and pay them the agreed amount. Anything above the agreed amount is on you.

If you are asked for payment before, you kindly ask them to leave. Its up to you if you want to give them taxi money or walk them outside and pay the taxi directly. But to avoid an argument or a problem it is best to just pay the taxi.

[Mr Enternational]

She was recommended by a dude I know, but that only confirmed to me that he is a fuckin liar.

Not necessarily. Remember YMMV. That is why I do not get the recommendation stuff. Show me where the chicks are and I will pick my own. I could only put up with my kid's mom for 2 years, but she has now been with her husband for 25 years. Maybe he is somewhere calling me a fuckin liar since his experience was not the same as mine.
