Headed to CDMX in a few hours but thanks for reminding me about this. Had issues with the local Messican condoms last time.

I know the girls are pretty hot in Colombia.

What is the learning curve for getting around and meeting women with beginner basic Spanish? - If it's any constellation I managed to hook up with girls in Mexico with basic Spanish and google translate. Can the same be done here also?

I've spent a good amount of time in Mexico and I want to hit up the Yucatan for at least a month or so.

However, I am not sure if I stay beyond mid-summer time and go to Colombia.

A big part of me wants to, but with all this information in Colombia, I am a little overwhelmed.

Also, how is it building a social circle over in Colombia?

These days I am not a big drinker but I used to party hard in years previous.

Some of it doesn't even sound cool, I mean I go out with a chick or meet one there and then I have to worry about that Scoplatemoia(Devil's breath).

I had a similar experience in Mexico. Ironically I was already apprehensive about her as she barely made the boner test.

I remember my alarm going off on my phone at like 6 in the morning. Wake up 2 hours later. Pants are gone with everything in it. I do not think I was drugged but my room was extremely humid+drunk but I remember most of the night.

Colombia sounds like a good place, but is it easy to adjust to?

I'm taking a Spanish course online now and I know some basic, but I still have trouble fully understanding especially with the speed of Spanish speakers. I am better at communicating my ideas.

With 100+ pages here and all the other threads of information, I have somewhat of an idea, but some of these posts are from back in 2011 so I am sure some things have changed in 8 years. What's the scoop these days?

Most importantly I work remotely. How is the internet?

Is it possible to get a strong internet connection in Colombia?

I'd like to say my game is good, at least in terms of having an abundance mindset and a non-needy frame. I've had good style but I need a wardrobe upgrade.

Throuought the years I have lost many sets of good expensive clothes.

When I get to Mexico I definitely plan to take some dance lessons.

Which is best for Colombia? Salsa, Cumbia or something else?

I've also heard that fitness is a big deal there also. That must mean people like to live and promote a healthy fit lifestyle +10 for sure in my book.

Hey NonDrifter, I just moved to Medellin last month after several years in Mexico, so I think I can answer a few of your questions. I'm still figuring things out here, so maybe some of this info is not 100% on point and my observations only apply to Medellin and not other parts of the country.

For me quality of life here is a bit lower than in CDMX or Guadalajara. Ease of getting around the city, walkability, quality of food, variety and interest of cultural activities, etc. are all better in Mexico. I also think I'm paying more here for worse quality, especially in terms of food.

I speak fluent Spanish so I can't comment on the language situation.

In terms of the girls, yes the talent level is definitely higher than in CDMX and slightly higher than Guadalajara, but I'm not feeling much of a gringo factor either here or in Mexico. In Mexico, it's mostly because they already have such close ties to the US, they have family over there or have visited several times, so it's not exotic for them. In Medellin, it's moreso that they're already overrun with gringos so it's nothing special now.

I definitely have the impression that the number of foreigners here in Medellin is much higher than in Mexico. I've been to bars and coffee shops in Poblado and Laureles where half of the people there were foreign at any given time. And these are not all dirty backpacker types -- I've seen a surprising number of blond hair, blue-eyed guys who are in shape and have good style, so if you think you're going to work that angle, be aware that the competition is out there.

Regarding security, yeah you do have to be a bit more careful in Medellin than in Mexico. But I've talked to some guys who have been scopolamined, and it usually involved them doing something against their better judgment, like going to sketchy bars late at night, not listening to their spidey sense when a girl is acting suspicious, etc. Of course I can understand however that at 3 am after enough drinks, you'll start to throw caution to the wind, and can see myself getting into the same situation at some point.

As regards the dancing scene, one thing I really like in Colombia is that you get more of a chance to dance all of the various "ritmos latinos," such as salsa, bachata, merengue and reggaeton. A lot of the nightclubs here are called "crossover" discotecas, which means they play a mix of everything and not just one style. Out of these styles, I would say reggaeton and salsa get the most play. Cumbia is a lot rarer. I actually think I come across more cumbia in Mexico than in Medellin.

The average level of dancing you'll see in these places is not super high. You'll mostly just see couples doing the basic steps and a few simple turns. My advice would be to get down the basic steps and a few tricks for each of these styles so that you can dance to any song that comes on. You don't need to be a master, and usually the girls are impressed with any foreigner who can sort of dance to Latin music.

Then finally I don't get the sense that Medellin has a real fitness culture overall. The amount of obesity is less in Colombia than in Mexico, but I think Mexico is more plugged into US trends of healthy foods, working out, yoga and all that. The one thing I think is bigger in Colombia than in Mexico is actually cycling. If you hit the mountains on the outskirts of Medellin on the weekend, you'll run into hordes of cyclists.

Now a lot of what I've said here might make it sound that I'm down on Medellin and Colombia in general, but I think it's important to know what to expect and have a clear idea of what you want to get out of it. I think the sheer amount of hype I had read on the forum made me paint too rosy a picture of what it would be like here, and so I initially wasn't prepared for the amount of grind required to get with quality girls here. But then I went back and reread "Bang Colombia," and Roosh didn't sugarcoat things either. Apparently even back in 2010 or whenever he was here it was no cakewalk.

As far as I'm concerned, my goal here in Colombia is to take my game to the next level and get higher quality girls than I've been able to land in other countries. The jury's still out over whether Colombia is the best place for that, but at that very least, it throws more 8's and above into my path on a daily basis than anywhere else I've been, and for that alone it's worth it.

For me as well, online dating was not so good in Medellin last year (6 year ago it was insane), however Bogota and Cali I had great success from Cupid and tinder. Anyone else had similar experience?
How is nightlife in Bogota btw? I heard it's easier to hook up since they are more liberal there since it is capital, and less sex tourism there as well compared to Medellin

Holy shit guys use Google for these basic questions for fuck sakes, we put a lot of effort into this thread with tons of useful information about Colombia- the women, culture, language, logistics, safety, etc.

New here. Trying to hit Colombia sometime in the next few weeks. I read here that some girls from Bogota are somewhat cold to other Colombians, although friendly to Gringos. Would other Colombians include people who genetically Colombian, yet raised in US, so they're basically gringos other than their looks? (speak spanish with strong gringo accent btw). I'm looking to hit Bogota, but I worry I will have to waste 2-4 days on altitude adjustment. Coming from a coastal city, so I am at near sea level.

Hey dude, in colombia a gringo is not an american. In colombian a gringo is a blue-eyed and blonde guy who doesn't speak spanish very well and earns good money. Girls here drool for the nordic phenotype. A typical decent gringo with basic game is an 8 in colombia (7s paradise), a non-nordic guy may not be exotic but girls here are curious for anyone who is not a local. Spanish is a must though. When I was hanging out with travolta the girls we were aproaching made a joke about how badly they needed a colombian boyfriend to put them in their place, don't know if they meant that because my fellow western mates are too nice to them or if the language barrier sometimes puts them off. I guess a bit of both. Expect to have a good time. All rooshvfers I talk with are enjoying it here.

PS: American girls to you are like bogota girls to me. But I account they magically 'change' in the presence of westerners. Haha, AWALT.

As a Scandinavian man myself I can say that having blue eyes is enough (but of course speaking spanish as well), I am not blonde per se, but i still get called rubio. But yes just by being seen as a Nordic man it will help you out a lot, 99 % of the compliments I have received so far, have been about my eyes.

Post: #2587

Anybody white looking could be called a rubio or mono.

A lot of Colombian girls want guys with blue eyes, but green works too

Thanks for the write up much appreciated, along with the others. I like that you just transitioned from Mexico as that's the path I plan to take also. We seem to share similar goals as I am now more concentrated on quality bangs 8's and up is the plan.

I think my biggest challenge will be Spanish though I am learning I am really going to have to put in the effort to learn to communicate with it more. Mexico spoiled me in that regard, of not having to "know "Spanish to get bangs and build a social life. I'm taking it more seriously, to say the least, but I know it will not come overnight.

I currently have two Spanish courses. Spanish with Paul as the base and Pickup Spanish for flirting.

Definitely sounds like Colombia is more of a "melting pot" of tourist and Colombians more so than Mexico. I met a fair share of Argentines and Colombians when in Mexico previously. All in all, it sounds like it's going to be quite a cool experience.

I'll use this time in Mexico to hone my craft before I make this next jump to Colombia. Who knows maybe we will get a chance to link up when I am down there. Never know when you will need a good wingman by your side!

What’s the best way to meet up with some forum members in Medellin? Any WhatsApp groups? I’ll be there mid May for a week or so. Fairly experienced party monger in Asia never been to South America or Colombia. Would enjoy checking it out with some others.

Also, any tips on finding an apartment with sufficient internet speed? Should I book airbnb ahead of time, or do it while having feet on the ground?

Thanks guys! Look forward to hearing from you. Good thread!

I would suggest one of the many coworking spaces in Medellin. Speaking from experience, it gets old working in the apartment alone day after day. Join one of the spaces, get free coffee, good internet, and meet people. Theres tons in Medellin.

You won't find the variety or strength that we have in North America down there but you can get cheap sativa in Colombia, the most common being Punto Rojo. There's dial-a-dopers down there, ask around for domicilios.

Are there any shoe stores in Medellin which sell Adidas or Nike sneakers (or any other good brand) at a reasonable price? Seems like there's crazy markups wherever I go. In the US you can walk into an outlet store and buy either of these brands for cheap, as long as you're willing to buy styles from previous seasons
