Unfortunately, not something I can do. While I did knock around Colombia, I found my shangrila in medellin and to an extent, bogota.

I worked out theabove nugget of info because i landed in medellin
just after new year last year and immediately noticed something not right. Spoke to a a barnan who has hooked me up before, and he practically marched me on to a the station to go to cartagena.

Stands to reason though. Cities in term time, holiday resorts in break time.

Unfortunately, the other thing to bear in mind is time of year. The city empties out on December 7th and fills back up on feb 7th. Like clockwork

All the girls are at the moment in Cartagena, Miami or Europe , depending on bankroll.

You will be seeing a lot if tourists at the moment. Those Chiva buses playing cheesy tunes? Nowhere to be seen during term time.

Ditto re prices. It's not gringo tax it,s now tourist tax tax. Try bartering coach tickets right now. Before they would bend over backwards with haggling, now they will laugh in your face and tell you to jig on.

Get on the metro and pound the pavement is my best advise, the rewards are there to be had

But if you can, make rapid moves to Cartagena. Don't want to hit it too late.

Picture the scene, the hottest girls from bogota and medellin. With even less clothes on. In holiday mood. Even more hornier then usual

I love Colombia. This place has been really really good to me

Good tips.

Can you break down which cities in Colombia are the best for each months?

The city gets alive earlier. Around the middle of next week everyone will be back ready for work and university, most of them start next week or the beginning of the other.

The chivas are out already. They are a December thing but there are a few ones rolling around all year long. Great tip : Befriend somebody in the group that is going to board it. If you are gringo and you sweeten the deal with liquor, you can get an invitation for the chiva. The girls there will be open as a book. Prerequisites : Speak broken spanish, have a good vibe and for the love of god, know how to dance. Chivas board in random places, but they tend to get together near La Frontera.

I actually hate Colombia. I grew up here and has been brutal to me, but I understand why you all love it and I'm thankful you make good name of it. GM, the best time is around June-July-August. Aim for the Flower Fair (it's just a bunch of drinking, really) but arrive a lot earlier, because the flights get full before it.

If anyone wants real up to date info, go ahead and ask.

@InternationPlayboy, and everyone else plannign to come. Some little fresh info:
From your picture, I take you live between Patiobonito and EAFIT. It's a very good spot to live. Medellin is not dirt cheap when it comes to anything, specially not where you live. I hope you enjoy your stay. Two tips to take from OP : Barrio Colombia is sketchy as hell, and also some clubs have a No-Gringo rule. You won't fly solo there or with another foreigner. You need a Colombian girl to get in nowadays. Try instead Envigado, going down south, you will be surprised. Lleras was good 5 years ago but it's getting full of scammers, yet it's still worth a go. Try Rio Sur and La Strada if you are ready to spend. Don't go to Envy unless you want to see your wallet cry. Have fun!

Wow, I had a great time tonight. My first real night out in Medellin and it was awesome. I'll evaluate more in the morning when I'm not so drunk.

Sorry no time for a full update yet fellas, but the very first girl I approached I got the kiss and some heavy petting on the dance floor. Supposed to meet up with her tonight. She was a solid 7. As far as hooking up goes, it's obvious that I can only say it isn't hard here. But obviously this is only after 4 days and one approach. The girls here definitely seem super friendly though. And btw ponemano, I met her at Babylon like you suggested on Thursday night. Big shout out dude!

Post: #57

Good work bro...I feel a hot streak coming

Post: #58

On the December-January vacation season, I would recommend the north coast, Cartagena, Santa Marta or Coveñas. The whole big cities go there to have fun, taking 13-hour road trips just to get there. Starting January also, the Corralejas take place in pretty much every medium-sized town in the coast area.
After that, around the end of February, and sometimes the beginning of March, there is the Barranquilla carnival. Costeñas are not my type of women but if you feel like, the carnival is just one huge party.
After that, until July, you can pretty much go anywhere. One good idea is Pereira, whose girls are the biggest sluts in Colombia. Medellin is also good around that timeframe. Cali maybe, but that city is one huge mess along with Bogota.
Around the end of July there is the flower fair in Medellin. It's a must go, however, locals expect foreigners already on the fair. 8 years ago you could have slept with 6 women on one day just from the color of your passport, but you can still have better leverage than a local just from being foreign, so take my advice and come.
There are random fairs and events around the country between August and December, but because of regionalism and tech ignorance in most colombian places, its very hard for a region to know the events of another one ( Bogota vs Medellin, Cali vs Medellin). So between that timeframe, you can go anywhere and still have fun and maybe, you can find something interesting.

Post: #59

Solid info dropped, definitely worth a plus one.

The only thing I would add is that each place definitely has it's own vibe. The Cali vibe is distinct from the Bogota which in turn is different from Cartagena.

If you do come and you have the time, don't just beeline it for Medellin. Yeah, you and every other gringo with a passport.

. Apart from the fact all the hot girls are off limits to non locals, you just might not get on with the vibe.

I have two boys holed up in two other cities and they would not touch Medellin in a month of Sundays. They find it sterile and boring, The girls snobby and the the nightlife repetitive

If you do come to Med, have realistic expectations. If you can't knock it out the park back home, don't think for a second you,ll do any much better.

See it too many times. Guys lured by the promise of plastic surgery and easy sex. Then the reality of flaking hits and the realisation of gringo status really means. Which then either results in desperate beta moves, followed by outright lying to keep face, or a visit to the whorehouse.

Then boasting how the paisas put out for you. Don't be that guy.

The game has changed. Either roll with the punches and change tact, or get out the ring.

Ok so update... Girls are really friendly but flakey like everyone seems to state. The girl I met the first night flaked on me two nights ago but then wrote a message saying she was sorry and she was sick (Uh huh). But she definitely seems into me and seems to want to meet up again. Last night I met another girl but didn't even bother to get her number because she wasn't that great looking, just the best option that was single. Some dudes are huge cock blocks and others can be pretty cool. It's easy to meet girls here, they are very friendly. I've been out 3 times, and met a couple cool cats. One of the kids has had girls after him every night, two nights ago multiple girls. It's definitely a different world in Miami. There's no comparison, the girls are super friendly.

Lleras really isn't as bad for picking up at night as I've read. You just have to stay away from the bars where people are sitting down in groups. So far I've hit up Blue, which is a rock type club, and Babylon, which is money on Thursdays. The place is packed. It costs about $15 to get in but you can drink free until 1:30 as well, so it's not a bad deal. It does seem near impossible to get a one night stand here in Colombia though. You really got to get numbers here and follow up. If you don't like dating and just want one night stands, do not come to Colombia. Discotecas seem to be the easiest place to pick up at night.

My roomate, the older man, straight up kills it here. Him and all his older buddies have multiple girlfriends, and they are good looking. The one he brought out last night was 25, and he's gotta be in his late 50's early 60's. He meets a lot of these girls on Latinamericancupid.com. This seems to be the place to be if you are an older man looking for younger women. The quality of women here is real good. Probably close to on par with Miami. You really see it on the weekends when it's packed. That's about all I got for now, I'll keep you guys updated.

Post: #63

thanks for the update...seems like your opinion of the quality has increased since you first arrived (you had said Miami was better). Also great to hear that they're really friendly. Lot of the guys here seem to be down on Medellin and the women

Where are you staying? Are you renting from the older guy?

I have thought about renting rooms to guys that come to Cali. I enjoy the company.... But I hate the distraction of other people in the house when I bring a girl home for the first time.

I have a younger friend that stays with me from time to time....he parties too much and closes the deal to little. Can't tell you how many times I'll be leaving the club with my girl and he has said "Why are you leaving....stay and have another drink"......I tell him it's time to close the deal.....you should leave with your chick also.

Seems to me some younger guys get a little apprehensive when it comes to the point in the night when a chick has to decide if she is coming home with you or going back to her place...while I have been anxiously awaiting that moment the whole night. jajaja

Post: #65

Yeah, my opinion has changed after going out on the weekend. There's a lot of talent walking around. I tell you what too, hotels are a pretty good place to meet Colombian girls as well. The last two nights we went out my friend took two of them from the hostel to come out with us. If they're at a hostel bar, chances are they're there to bang gringos.

Wedo, I'm staying in a private room in an apartment. I have 3 roomates. My buddy I met out here told me about a super legit site, pretty much airbnb but colombian prices, not gringo. He's paying about $8 a night. He's leaving next week, I'm thinking about taking his room. It's out of poblado but really safe and less gringos.

Post: #66

One other thing I'll add is the food is not very good. It's not terrible, but it's not good. The burgers SUCK, haven't tried the pizza yet. It's also pretty expensive in Lleras, but I found a place down the street from my place where I can get a sandwich for about 3 or 4 bucks. The steak is ok, nothing to write home about. The food at the store for the most part is pretty similar to US prices. Some things are a little cheaper (avacados are about $.75, fuck yeah!). To be honest, the Colombian food I had in the states has been better so far the the Colombian food I've had here. The food doesn't compare to Brazil by a long shot. At least the drinks are pretty cheap. I love that you can drink on the street, but I'm pretty sure you can do that about anywhere in latin america.

Post: #67

Ha ha, knew you would come round. Everyone does.

You wait, it will just get better and better, as the paisa's slowly drift back in.

You are now at stage1, the initial excitement of the high talent, the friendliness, the apparent ease of hook ups and the lack of perceived competition from the local guys.

The next bit is what will make or break you. The high flakiness, the deceitful games, the gringo prejudice, the realisation you will never eat at the top table. Get through this and you are doing well.

Sorry, not to sound negative. It is what it is. The promise of pussy paradise too easily turn to mental masturbation.

Truth of the matter is, and I am not going to sugarcoat it, In all my visits, never seen a hot girl with a gringo in Medellin. Not once. Bogota, a few, but never in Medellin.

Not unless there's a transaction going on if you know what I mean.

Truth of the matter is, as long as you don't get ideas of smashing model level chicks, you will do we'll



Disagree with completely about having to date a Colombian. Quite the opposite. The girls may lead you on about how they like romance and being wooed. Reality is thy are eager to jump right in with the right guy. If your not smashing it by the third meet up, it's never happening.

Enjoy yourself, sick to the stomach I am not there now.

Post: #68

This will give me some good perspective, InternationalPlayboy has spent some time in Brazil, so it will be cool to hear his feedback on the Brazil vs. Colombia comparison. I know it's only be a short while, but keep us updated on your observations there. It's too bad that ONS are hard to get in Colombia, it seems like every girl I see here in the U.S. starts off with a ONS, and it seemed like it was pretty easy to pull off in Brazil. I'm wondering what the level of English is there if any, I'm guessing you do all approaches in Spanish? Also, what's the deal with this old player, is he doing some soft p4p by being a sugar daddy, or is he genuinely pulling down there? Colombia is going to be on the docket for me in the next 5 years for sure.

Dude, the gringo prejudice lol. I got cock blocked straight up harder than I ever have in my whole life the other night by some douchey Colombian dude. These two girls kepted looking at me and my friend and I told him we should approach, he said, "Ahh, IDK." Cause they were with dudes. I said, "I'm going!" I get over by them and the dude steps in my way, but not directly in front of me, so I try again, now he steps directly in front of me. What a fucking douche, but I just let it go, I'm green here and I know in Brazil, if someone really wants you offed, they can just go pay a little slum kid $100 and you're dead, so I didn't want to push my luck. But then again the next night for some reason these two Colombian dudes loved us and they were in a huge group of girls. They invited us to try and hook up with their girls. I started hitting on one of the guys girls not knowing, but he was real cool about it and I appologived and told him to take my spot.

But dude, I've seen A LOT of gringos with good looking girls for sure. The one I made out with the other night was a solid 7. My boy pulled a 7 from the hostel last night and had a 7 running after him all night the night before which he didn't want because she spoke too good of English lol. I feel him on that.

Maybe you're right about the Colombia ONS. I just haven't seen it yet with me or any of my boys. But also I've only been here 5 days.

OG:

In Lleras, getting by in English is pretty doable, but I mean, you def. want to learn a little Spanish. If you don't know Spanish, it illiminates 65% of your prospects. I would say maybe 35% of the girls in Lleras speak if I had to guess. I'm only approaching in spanish and even when i'm with people who speak English, I try to speak spanish just to practice. About the old dude I'm staying with. He does do p4p, but his girlfriends are all from Latinamericancupid. I was extremely surprised about the girl he was with last night. Gorgeous black 25 year old, and he's over twice her age. He deson't even speak spanish and she doesn't speak english. I think she just enjoys him taking her out to dinner and chillin with the gringos. I just started doing latinamericancupid today and am getting a lot of responses. I'm sure I'll get close to as many flakes though lol.

To tell you the truth though I don't think Colombia will be able to compare to brazil for me personally, just because I was hooked up so well in Brazil. We'll see though, reguardless, I'm having a great time.

Post: #70

Sounds like your having a great time! Good stuff.

Yeah, see that's the thing. You think your girls a 7? And she is, by most other standards. Then you spend some time here, and the whole scale tips.

A month goes by and that 7? Now a 5, possibly a 6 in heels.

And that's when the problems and frustration kick in as guys start fancying a crack at the top table....

Post: #71

This scale shift makes me wonder why on earth are most ordinary guys still live in the states or uk.

Post: #72

Yeah, but it's all good. I'm completely content banging a girl that looks like that. But I see what you're saying, after a while maybe you get tired of it and want to step up your game. I did though see one guy that had to have been a gringo that was with a real good looking girl. I turned to my friend and said, you know you're in a good spot when you see a dude that would probably be considered a 5 chillin with a girl that's a solid 8 1/2. Dude, my latinamericancupid is blowing up! I get WAAAY more responses here than i did in Miami, which isn't surprising.

that dude could be chilling with a prepago... and if it is a non pro that dude is paying for her drinks, food, taxis and whatever else basically supporting her... unless he's a complete sucker in time he will get sick of that shit

I am, at least I arrived here solo, he's just a kid a met a couple days ago. Cool cat from Michigan. He can pull too. He's at least gotten a make out and number every night I've been out with hi. I met him with an Ausi and we've been chillin'. The Ausi just left to Puerto Rico today. Met them while trying to swoop the girl I met the first night. They were dancing with the girls friends. I just hooked up a date for Wed. to a place called something like puebla paisa over latinamericancupid. The girl looks pretty good.

And gary, that very well could be. I think a lot of these older dudes are treating the girls to everything as well. But still, it isn't that expensive. My roomate took the black girl out last night, probably spent $20-30 on her total with drinks and taking the metro home and back. Thing is, the girl probably can't afford it. The other girl that came and ate with us with with the roomates friend, who is 70 and she's 28! The girl was telling me her story, I felt kind of bad for her (But then I thought again about how she was gold digging). She's a single mother and her father died and her mother left medellin with some dude she met, she has no contact with her. You can tell the girl is struggling. But you can tell the old dude is happy, I guess that's all that matters. I couldn't believe it though, this girl was a solid 8 just about anywhere. But when it comes down to it, if I'm taking a girl on a date in the states, I'm probably gonna pay for her dinner and a few drinks anyways if I think I'm getting laid. It's much cheaper to do so here.

Also, don't know if I wrote about this before, but I got a new roomate yesterday. He's 30 and from Hungary. He's alright, but not good at gaming. He came in with a cute girl from here, guess he met her online before he arrived, they had been talking for a month. While we were at the market, the girl said she had to go home and change before she went out. She went home, called him back and told him that her uncle had a stroke. Now today she tells him her uncle died. Damn, the lengths girls will go to to flake here. lol. But he's the type of guy that gets real mad when a girl flakes on him rather than just saying fuck it and moving on. He's not really the type of kid I'd call to hang out with on the weekend, or maybe even ever. But at least he isn't a 60 year old women, so I guess that's a plus.
