I go out with my friends but approach girls solo most of the time. Winging works best if girls are in sets of two, but very few are. Most are in groups so no need to have your buddy entertain anyone while you work your magic imo.

Can't blame you, tho. Colombian friend groups are closed as hell, but once you are in, you have access to a bunch of 9s. The problem is that this is even complicated if you move from city to city in Colombia, and for a foreigner POV it's not very realistic.

Colombian Cupid seems to be the To-Go way to meet girls for foreigners and it's pretty clear why : If a girl signs in there, she WANTS a gringo, she is down to fuck with you after she is warmed up. I never met in my time there any girl with an account in CC but if that's a simple way to meet girls for foreigners (And no semipros), then all the better for you guys.

Any remarks on my old hometown? Would you live there 5 years?

I lived in Medellin for over a year, and I could live there again. The weather is great, warm but usually not too humid and never buggy. It doesn't have the greatest food in the world, but there are some great restaurants if you can hunt them down. It has the best beer and some of the best weed in Colombia. You can find gringos to party with, or you can never cross another pair of blue eyes, depending on where you go. And for fuck's sake, don't be another gringo in sandals and shorts. Wear a fitted shirt, long pants (jeans are fine) and nice shoes. Clothes make the man in all of Colombia.

Clearly, it is not the easiest city to get laid in, but it's not that difficult if you spend some time there or pipeline before you arrive. I never had much night game luck there (I'm a shit dancer for starters), but CC has been an online goldmine. Getting on the metro and heading north from El Poblado often has good results, too. Talking to grocery store aisle girls in La Mayorista or Mallorca, really anywhere outside of Poblado is a great idea, as has been brought up by many guys here before. And if you don't mind importing, you can fly girls into Medellin CHEAP from other towns in Colombia, as Medellin seems to be regarded as a great place to visit by Colombianas. Coastal girls in particular will fly to Medellin for the weekend, blow your mind, and then fly home with five hundred new photos to show off and don't seem to give a shit if you ever call them again or not. Me gustan las Costenas.

I agree 100% with Scotian that December is the best time to visit, basically from December 1st on. Pre-Christmas Medellin is like pre-Carnaval Barranquilla, everyone seems to be in a festive mood and everything just seems to happen easier. The key in Colombia (like everywhere?) is to approach. Latin girls are fun, just have fun with them and don't take anything too seriously, they're playing you too.

In my experience, Volk is right about it being almost impossible to crack Colombian social circles; you can be a fun diversion for them and bang their cousins sometimes, but you're never going to be in the club. Another note about having Colombian guy friends- they can and will help you if you're cool to them, but remember that the social ethic in Colombia is "papaya offered is papaya shared." In other words, if you can be taken advantage of, you will be. So don't be a sucker around the girls or the dudes.

I'd agree with the statements above. Medellin is getting to the point of overhype. If you look at the tourism numbers, it has definitely spiked, especially due to low cost carriers (thanks Spirit).

Me and a friend rented a place in Poblado for a week and ended up each only banging one girl. She was not even that hot (colombian 5/6, or a solid american 6) but we picked them up at the park right in front of the cathedral. On Sunday's its a good place to try and pick them off. The ones you can fuck via non nightlife / online game are the ones you usually can rawdog (10x better then a condom). We were the only foreigners in the park.

If you want p4p, my friend told me he banged a legitimate 7 for $10. Which is quite mind boggling, but I am completely anti p4p.

Eye candy: Poblado metro station. If you like day gaming just sit there all day. There is a university which could be great for picking up college girls after school. Saw an 8 working there selling tickets. A real stunner selling metro tickets. Mind blown.

Post: #55

I live in medellin...latin lover hit the nail on the head for a large portion. But, poor girls are just as hot if not hotter than the jet setting girls. They will be around. Btw, as a foreigner you will have zero chance with them unless ( SEE past posts by MIXX).
December is very festive with Christmas decorations around ( hope I didn't offend some leftist by calling it holiday lights) mehhhhhh,,idiots.

The weather is fantastic and did I say festive... A lot if the girls hate being single over the holidays so they are more open to meeting someone. With that being said, many of the girls from poblado etc will be hitting the fincas, vacations and family stuff. New Year's Eve is celebrated with friends in houses etc....not in discos and bars.
Before Christmas and after NYE it will be good if you have no local connections to celebrate the holidays with. During those 2 weeks, not recommended. Answer any of your concerns ballsdeep?

Post: #56

Yes it does thanks...

Im assuming the hotter poblado girls aren't on Colombian cupid, right?

My take on December: /thread-26709-...#pid508932

I had a quick look at latinlover's posts. He's right about some things, wrong about others. On the December 7th to February 7th thing, he's wrong.

Colombian cupid has hotties. However, from my experience 99.9% do not live in poblado and dare I say laureles. The rich bitches aren't necessarily the hottest. There are plenty outside of poblado.

If you want to see hot poblado chicks on a Saturday night go to rio sur, specifically kukaramakra as it is a steep 20 mil cover which will keep most rif raf out. Mind you they will be older 25 ish and above. The other bars inside, you will get the young ones. The girls who work in strip clubs, none of them live in poblado ( if they do they gave a boyfriend / sponsor.

From my experience knowing guys (colombian and foreign) who dated or date poblado girls say it can be done. Just get ready to spend silly money on some reggaeton concert or eat in more expensive restaurants. The poorer girls will be happy with an arepa outside and music from your iphone etc hanging out.

The key to many hot girls lies in introductions from somebody for one example. Go on cupid, message some girl you think is not so pretty,,,,go out with her and her friends ....voila. Friend zone her and you will get a chance to meet her friends....hopefully, one is hot.

This is a pretty good strategy and has worked for me in the past as well, although if you invite a crowd of girls out, be prepared to pay for them all. When I invite girls out who I'm not totally into, I just take them to one of those small crossover spots on la 70 near Estadio, hopefully they'll bring a cute friend or two but its also fairly easy to meet others in these places, the people are usually friendly.

Dude some of us need to get together and go in on some of these apartments in Medellin. They are cheaper then the ones here in Lima and some of them are swanky!

We can just find a really small surf board and a really fat Colombian chick and she can jump into the hot tub and you can surf the wave.

An if you get drunk enough you can ride her wave..... if you know what I'm saying!!

I don't know about Medellin specifically because this will be my first December in Medellin. But I have spent many a December in Cali and it will be good or bad depending on how good you look, how well you speak Spanish and what it is that you are happy with as far as women go.

The closer you get to Christmas the more the hottest chicks will be hooked up. The upside is that many chicks that aren't into partying that much will be going out more than usual. So if you are a decent looking guy, you will have more 6 and 7's than you could possibly do.

AirBnb is usually a pretty good place to start. You can haggle with people on there to. I got my apartment in Lima $300 cheaper a month then it was advertised for.

When do you think you will be in Colombia?

I didn't have much luck on Airbnb when I was looking for a one bedroom to rent last November, I ended up finding a decent spot on Craiglist though so you may want to check that out too. Booked my ticket to Bogota yesterday, I'll be there next Friday until early April.

Definitely, there is a huge potential in MDE. Lots of beautiful, diverse women : plenty of good-looking Latinas, Whites or morenas. Better looking on average than in Mexico or Panama, and, with quite low bitch-shields

The city itself, at least in Poblado and Laureles, is clean, modern, homogenous, feels safe... Many big police cars patrolling, and lots of "security assistants" in orange "chalecos"-sleeveless sweaters, to help tourists in places like Parque Lleras... I wonder who pays them, the State tourism ministry or the city? I'll ask them tomorrow... Alas, they are teamed as follows: a male assistant with a female assistant, so, no easy game targets there ...

Weather though has been a bit disappointing : been mostly cloudy, and humid, for the last 8 days. But, never really cold. Also, it is the low-season, so there are few tourist chicks to game in the hostels, if it is your thing... MDE anyway seems to attract more male than female tourists... Well, because it is off-season, Parque LLeras is a bit dead at the moment, except on week ends, but then the crowd is mostly local and quite (too) young... Parque LLeras anyway is great if you come with a girlfriend, on account of all the restaurants and bars with good vibes and open spaces, and not very expensive

Sex-tourist stigma can be (partially) avoided if you speak very good Spanish (and therefore can pretend to be here as a professional)... or are very cool, acting like you don't care, like you're a rasta backpacker more interested in weed; but then, which quality girl would want you?

There is definitely age gap acceptance, which is the good news of the day Also, I've sometimes taken taxis (from the streets) late at night, and nothing bad happened - even though I usually order them by phone, or through the hotel, just as an added precaution

Note : la setenta, The 70 street, is full of life and possibilities at night, on every (non-rainy) night, but if there has been a soccer game at the local stadium, the 70 will be filled with local low-life supporters, thus killing the vibe...

So, well, this forum speaks the truth : Medellin is absolutely worth a visit, especially if you speak Spanish of course, and can spend minimum 50 dollars a day, to have good times with the well-disposed local ladies

Post: #68

True, it is hard to enter a social circle in MDE nightclubs, but it is possible - here is how I did it,once : Wait until 2 or 3 in the morning, you'll see more and more hot Colombian girls dancing "erotically", with lot of grinding, sometimes just between them girls, one in front of the other (undulating face to face, very close) or one right behind the other : then you can position yourself behind one of them, or if you dare, between them, and partake in the grinding - thus dancing a while with your new-found Colombian hotties... I saw Colombian dudes jumping on such occasions, so I did the same, once, and was absolutely not rejected So, we were 2 dudes (a Colombian and yours truly) and 2 chicks, dancing together (each man strategically positioned behind a girl)

Post: #69

I never saw 2 girls dancing reggaeton together,,,,,yes in a group but never grinding.,.will keep an eye out for that.....btw. Halloween is crazy here,,,,get a costume and go out,,,,use it as a pro page excuse to take a photo w girls or whatever.....

I am going to send you via PM the name of the (big) nightclub where these hot Colombian girls dance and grind

Good idea, donning a Halloween costume A cool gringo in Parque LLeras with a funny Halloween costume, it's bound to attract women, without even having to move around Like a horny spider in its web, catching chicks, very Halloween indeed ...

This is another site for finding a temp apartment in MDE: http://www.apartamentos-amoblados.com/

I've looked through it and there were some decent places but it's more geared towards Spanish speakers. I had better luck on Airbnb. Many places in Poblado ask for around $1,100 USD minimum for a month for a studio or small 1bd, but there are a few places that seem to be run by local guys who don't understand they can charge more. These guys are charging in the $700-800 USD range.

Post: #72

I might be able to snag a good price for a plane ticket.

Was just looking around on Airbnb for Colombia, Medellin - Antioquia and it seems some of the nicer ones are in the 60 USD and up range. That seem about right? I guess I had expected it to be cheaper for some reason.

What is a good daily budget?

I speak pretty decent Spanish. I still think EE is the place for me, but Russian is still slow in coming. Might as well dust off the Spanish and see what this part of the world has to offer.

From a scouting perspective is a week good? Just want to get a taste/feel for the city. If anyone thinks another city would be better let me know.

Thanks.

Medellin is the most livable, modern, clean and efficient city in the country, it really is a nice place to visit or live. The down side is that its attracted a lot of foreign guys there so your value as a foreigner is the lowest in that city, couple that with the flaky attitude of the local girls and I would rate Medellin as my least favourite city in Colombia to date in. That being said, some guys do very well there; if you're a good looking guy, stylish with money to spend (Paisa love that image, they're materialistic) and speak a decent amount of Spanish (or not as Linux and Atlantic have shown us), you could "kill it". Personally I prefer to chase women in cities like Bogota, Cali, Pereira, etc but either way you will have fun in Medellin, its a good city to party in.

In Medellin I stay in a decent hotel that costs 55.000, eat two cheap meals at about 10.000 each then a nicer one in the evening for about 25.000-30.000, beer is cheap at about 4.000 but mixed cocktails aren't at about 20.000, you're better off buying a bottle of aguardiente or rum for about 40.000 a pint if you're going out. Throw in a couple of coffees at Juan Valzdez at 3500 each and return taxi trip to Lleras at 20.000 and a typical day would be about 170.000 (if I don't drink then I'll do something else like take a girl to a movie, about the same price as the pint). That comes in at about $55 USD for MY typical day in Medellin, obviously yours will be different, I can double that if I go out and booze heavily and buy food/drinks for a girl which I usually do on the weekends but overall its still cheap, especially if you're spending US dollars, you lucky fuckers!

For a nice, modern apartment all to yourself in the best part of town, $60 and up sounds about right.

A lot of guys do longer stays and pay by the month. It stretches the budget much further. If you only have a week, it's not going to break the bank no matter what you do.

I guess more time is better. If you only have a week, you may have enough time to meet some intriguing girls but not long enough to get laid with them.

A week will definitely be enough to know if you want to spend more time in Colombia or not.

I think Medellin is a good choice. I live here most of the year. Feel free to hit me up with whatever questions you have.
