Cali and Medellin comparison

[Pete E]

The democrats had a sign they hung up at their elect Clinton headquarters in 1992."Its about the economy ,stupid."
Here,on this board and others like it,its about the women right??Isn't that the focus here??
And we are talking not only ATTRACTIVE but AVAILABLE.You can find attractive women in Hollywood.Good luck finding one who would be interested in you.
I know guys get tired of hearing it,Cali,Cali,Cali.Its not the ONLY place to meet attractive women,just the BEST one by far.
And we have guys who have had problem relationships and tend to blame the city or the agency they met them at.And Cali gets blamed most because its where the largest number of guys have met women they have had relationships with.
And there are lots of hot honeys here in Cali who have learned to use gringos.Maybe I should say the gringos have trained the women to use them.The wallet comes out fast to impress and an impression is made,these guys have money,so hang in there and play the game even if the guy is not at all appealing otherwise.
And being the number one place to meet a latina is has drawn lots of latinas and gringos interested in that.
There are RESULTS and there is SPECULATION.Places get SPECULATED about as a good place to meet women.Medellin comes to mind.Its a nice city.Everybody seems to love it,residents and visitors alike.And like Hollywood attractive women can be seen out and about.So there is this SPECULATION its a good place to meet women.Results????Damn few I have heard about.I have been to Medellin,have friends that live there and go there.I also follow three boards similar to this.I have heard of TWO,Yes TWO cases of a guy meeting a woman with a serious relationship resulting.
One of our posters,I forget his name,lives in Texas I belive,married a woman 40 or so with 2 or 3 kids.He is VERY happy with her.Sounds like success to me.Seeker met an attractive young woman there he has a relationship with,but the father of the womans young daughter says the child will NEVER leave Colombia,probably killing the deal for a guy who wants a woman he can marry and take to the states.Other than that NADA,NOT ONE SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP I HAVE HEARD OF.That of course does not mean there are not some.But the number we hear about is probably an indicator of the relative number that happen.
So Medellin.Nice clean city,at least where I hung out,mostly El Poblano and Parke Lleras.And the Puta situation is excellent The home of the worlds best casa in my opinion.But meeting acceptable women serious about a relationship,DAMN FEW reports of that.
So,lets hear it for Medellin,Results please,NOT speculation.

...waiting for friend's Novia and her cousin to arrive, so a few minutes of downtime...

This is an amazing city.  I would compare my walk around the Poblado Park area last evening (surrounded by clubs and restaurants) very favorably to the girl-watching factorial of Lincoln Road Mall of South Beach, a place I've been to dozens of times.  I have a difficult time imagining that a more spectacular collecting of 'civilian' beauties could exist anywhere else.  

I must look unusual enough, height or skintone or whatever it is, to gain a lot of attention.  For those who might recall that I had long hair, I had 9" cut off the day before I left, because I knew it was not a remotely respectable style here....so it was not that.  It was nice to be noticed, but it will take some getting used too.  

I have been here 24 hours, Pete, so no serious relationships yet!  

...though in some cultures I think I might be technically married now...

...at any rate, your question is a real one, and while I think there must be plenty of serious minded, I am so busy spinning around at all the beauty I couldn't say.

I will say this...I am from upstate NY, live now in south Florida, and have travelled to various european cities.  This city feels like europe to me, the winding mountain roads, and much of it is SOOO clean and organized...it really surprised me.

Sitting in a sidewalk restaurant accross from Parke Lleras with some friends one night,we talked about the feel of the place.It has a certain class unlike other places I have visited in Colombia.It did feel European,or maybe like Buenos Aires might feel I immagined.
The main difference as far as women is concerned between Medellin and Cali in my opinion is the motivation of the women.Medellin women seem almost US like in a way,like they can take you or leave you,they have other choices.
Cali women,in my opinion,are effected by the lack of other choices.They seem much more anxious to meet a gringo in my opinion,because what is probably their first choice,an affluent Colombiano is just not possible for the vast majority of them.What they could get is a poor Colombino,who even then would probably play them as one of several.Just my impressions of what I think the huge difference in AVAILABILITY is all about.
Medellin is very nice,I agree.Enjoy your adventure there.

Pete

[Kiltboy1]

Pete my good Friend, your commet "Cali women,in my opinion,are effected by the lack of other choices " is the # 1 reason guys should be very careful about a calena. Do you really want to be there PLAN B ??

Maybe some guys can go with that and even justify being the OTHER CHOICE, but not me. I was the other choice before and that is just unaceptable no matter how hot they are. Sorry, cali get's the big thumbs down for me based on your very precise statement  above.

[Pete E]

Yup,what makes them want us makes them more risky.And in this whole foriegn women thing the main reason we do better with women outside the US is their lack of opportunities where they live.Its a 2 sided thing.Creates opportunity and risk for us.
Cali is one extreme,the US is the other,seems they are exact oposites to me.Its all relative.I'll take response over indifference,so I tend to like the Cali female attitude over the US of even what seems to be the attitude in Medellin.

I am the guy who is deliriously happy with the widow from Medellin with three children (the hottest chick in the universe!). I know of a guy from Montreal who married a coworker of my wife's. They were married in December, 2003 in Rio Negro, a couple of months after I got married. I know of another Canadian who used to post on PoorButHappy who also married a paisa. That's about it for gringos that I know who are married to paisas. For the most part, paisas love their city and they are not much interested in leaving without a good reason to do so. Even my wife, whose prospects for marriage in Colombia were close to zero, would have preferred to have stayed in Medellin. Nevertheless she is very happy here in Texas with me and her family and doesn't spend any time being homesick or looking back.

For a long time, very few gringos even ventured into Medellin, based on its long standing reputation for violence, I guess. Now, they all seem to go to a barrio called El Poblado and a park named Parque Lleras. I went to Poblado once to check out El Tesoro mall and look around. If you're into Miami-style chicks y las siliconas, I guess it's as good a place as any to hang out. Personally if I was to look for a wife in Medellin, I wouldn't set foot in Poblado. I'd explore the rest of the city especially Laureles, Belen, Envigado and other normal barrios. You might be the only gringo you ever see for the time you're there. I know I never see any while I'm there.

I was brought here by my son for "anti-depressant" therapy in May. I was vulnerable and wound up falling for a young lady who really was great at "working" me. We got an apartment. I would return to U.S. FOR a few weeks at a time and come back earlier than announced. She even bought me a gold ring engraved : Keep Me Forever".My Colombian friends tried to wake me from my daze. It took a used condom at my bedside to awaken me from my coma. I dated her best friend for revenge. NOw they are threatening to kill each other so I moved out to my own apt. To paraphrase Mick Jagger: they are practiced in the Art of Deception. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY FALL IN LOVE AFTER TWO NIGHTS OF LOVE MAKING. HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLET. If it looks to good to be true it is. They have a boyfriend waiting for you to leave. I paid the security guys to keep a log of visitors. First they were asked to sign in. Then I told guards to ask for matching ID. OOPS! Gone. but they are resourceful. She used her bro in law taxi driver to smuggle in. I had only 2 rules: no lies, no guys. She flunked. I moved out.

I wonder why she was so hell bent on banging the guys in your apartment.....seems kind of stupid if she didn't want yout to find out about it.

If you were only paying the rent and staying there to boot she still might have been one of the cheaper pieces of ass in Cali. hehehe !!!

Just curious.....how did you do with the two rules....I mean no lies and no women?

Not the first time I've heard a story like this...sorry this has happened to you.

I think this is more common than most gringos think and most SHOULD be wary of their girlfriend's behavior.  I know of a guy living in Medellin who is getting played big time by a Paisa there, right under his nose.

How is your spanish??  What is the age difference?? 

Lack of spanish skills is the number one cause of gringos getting played in my opinion...

Lesson learned I guess...hopefully you can move on to better things...

As the great Ronald Reagan once said regarding the Russians...TRUST BUT VERIFY.

I erased my post because after having second thoughts.....It may have been taken the wrong way by a probie.

Sean, are you talking about an anal probie again? I dont want to hear about your fantasies any more. . . . . .

[bad40]

the medellin of today is vastly different from their infamous past. development and prosperity become more apparent everyday. there are places in the city that remind me of buenos aires.. the european atmosphere. as their surroundings improve and more opportunities present themselves, the women do have more options. additionally, wherever you travel in colombia.. bogota, cartagena, etc., women in these cities will tell you that medellin has the most beautiful women in the country. paisa women know this and to a certain extent, it has given them a sense of importance. when i meet women in colombia in places other than medellin, if they are paisa, they don't necesitate to inform you of that fact... almost saying.. "yes, that's why i'm beautiful".

i haven't visited cali but i think it's more likely that a woman in medellin will find a colombian that will spend money on them than in cali. almost every week at my gym in medellin, there is a new couple joining which is composed of the following.... a non-descript colombian man with money and a young woman with brand new plastic surgery..tits, ass and lipo. the guy stays close to protect his investment (us$3k - 5k).. more time watching her than working out. medellin is the closest thing in colombia to miami beach in terms of the attitudes of women.

i also have a buddy that is madly in love with a young paisa. he's getting married soon. the catch is he doesnt know a word of spanish and she doesnt know a word of english. considering that women in general are very emotional (latins more so), being able to talk and express emotions and feelings are essential to developing a loving relationship. without communication, the only incentive is money.

most of the women i've dated in medellin have been liars. they believe certain things have to be said and done to keep a gringo interested. the passionate desires you experience when you are with her in colombia don't dissappear when you leave on a plane. that's reality.

if their are any opportunites iin medellin to find genuine women, they are in the barrios like bello.. not poblado or those in envigado with poblado dreams. motivation and desire are important.. from what i've seen and read here, cali has more of both.

as far as places to live and perceived comfort..medellin has it hands down.. the spring-like climate year round, the comfort level, safety, ecclectic style amongst other things.

my advice, find a calena through thorough due diligence and buy a place in medellin.

Man this thread makes me miss Pete....who pulled his old posts up??

Well, bra no worries there are tons more down there, keep your head up. A gringo friend was picking girls up in cali just in the past few months. Hitting on this hot chica in el exito and she's on it so she went to the house to see it, come to find out she's dating another gringo and gets all paranoid about what gringos he knows and which ones he doesn't. He had no idea until she comes to see the house and then starts thinking, he may know her boyfriend.

The good part is they're just women and not money, you can fire them. God it's great to be a man.

Great post Pete.  I had an agency in Cali in the roaring 90's and have an agency in Medellin now just recently opened (medellin.latinlifemates.com/medellin/)  I have spent countless hours analyzing these women and will try to add my 2 cents to this post.  Most of the responses to your post have been highly accurate and I will list the points of agreement thAT ARE ALMOST UNAMIOUS AMONG frequent visitors to Colombia. 
     a.  Medellin is the best city in Colombia for Gringos to visit or live full time - the biggest reasons are its cheap to live here, the climate is excellent and its clean especially when compared to Cali and also much safer. 
     b.  The women in both Cali and Medellin are beautiful, needy, and available to us with very little effort.
     c.  The gals from Poblado are quite different from the other ladies of Medellin and the former are very beautiful, most come from families with money and they are cosmetically enhanced and are not available as they just don't need us however the ladies from the suburbs of Medellin are also beautiful but they are NEEDY and they all want to meet a Gringo who can help them financially.  These women are not concerned about your age or your net worth and only a few have Colombian boyfriends.    I am stocking my agency with these ladies as this is where we recruit new members.  Some of the areas with the best gals are : Bello, Belin, San Javier, San Diego, Laurelles and many more.
     D.Hanging around Parque Llegas is exciting as there is eye candy everywhere and the restaurants are excellent and beautiful women everywhere.  Oftentimes we will be eating and there ARE 4 WOMEN TO EVERY GUY IN THE RESTAURANT.

Items not mentioned in this post that I would like to address is that in my opinon Cali has been going downhill for at least 5 years while Medellin is going in the opposite direction thats  why there are so many Gringos in Medellin now and fewer and fewer in Cali every year. Cali is dirty, poorly governed, and getting more dangerous while the reverse is true in Medellin.

The last item for me is the one thing that always seems to be overlooked - Bogota is where serious marriage minded guys go to find their future wife and Bogota has produced more marriages than all of the other cities in Colombia COMBINED.

Interesting post for sure Jim. I agree with many points there. I happen to own homes in both Med. and Cali. Many of the points you make depend on the exact areas. As far as the women, it's hard to say, as everyone has different experiences. There are fewer and fewer gringos in Colombia as the dollar weakens that's a definate.

[mudd]

wow, for a second, i thought pete came back from the dead.
yep, would have to agree with Jim, that if your looking for a serious girl, Bogota is a much better place to look than Medellin and Cali. Medellin girls are looking for money and Cali girls are also, just not as much as the Paisa's. i could never see bringing  a calena ( Cali girl) or Paisas ( Medellin girl) back to the states, unless you have know them for quite some time,at least a few years, seen here in her own environment when she is not on her best behavior when your there for a few days.  know the family and the history and actually spent a lot of time with them, not just a few weeks here and there.  i like Medellin, but not the women, don't care for Cali, women are OK. Bogota is cold, big and traffic sucks, but the women, definitely better for a serious relationship.

Good post Soprano!!

For most men it's not going to be like "shooting fish in a barrel"...Medellín to me is VERY over-rated as far as looking for a mate.  I still have a few Paisas that keep in touch with me, but for the most part I've never had a great attraction for the city or the women.  It has also become a huge monger destination for gringos...

As I mentioned, I know a guy who lives in Medellín who is around 50, and thinks he's the "s&it" because he's gone out with some young model types.  His latest has played him for a couple months...come to find out she has a Colombian boyfriend.  He isn't fluent in Spanish which doesn't help much either.  I keep telling him to shoot a little lower, go for a 7 or so, which would be great for him since he's not much to look at (sorry)...But some of these women have his mind polluted, making him think he's George Clooney...

Guys, this can be a dangerous game, even for the most experienced, so don't ever let anyone tell you different.

[Frank Rizzo]

Soprano69, very good post.

P Daddy, your last statement cracked me up about the "dangerous game"..jajajajaaja

You're not kidding there!! jajajajaja.....  I believe about 10% that comes out of their mouths on a good day.

Crazy world.

[blockbuster]

   I keep telling him to shoot a little lower, go for a 7 or so, which would be great for him since he's not much to look at (sorry)...But some of these women have his mind polluted, making him think he's George Clooney...

 jajaja, that last line had me cracking up. Yup, the fact that some of these beautiful young women are willing to date some old average gringo,really screw with the guys heads. Guys do begin to think they're George Clooney after awhile. LOL!!!

   I know this guy who walks with a limp has huge capped teeth that look like chicklets,Dragon breath, pot belly  always has pictures of all the hot babes he scored in Colombia,DR,Brazil or wherever his last vacation is. Some of the pics are x-rated.

    I can always tell when he just got back from vacation because I'll see that guy slitther over to some very attractive and sexy young thing here in the U.S. and actually try to rap to her.He gets blown off left and right, but for the first week or so that he's back he actually forgets he's not in a country where the ratio of good guys is rare and thinks he's George Clooney's better looking brother.It's hysterical to see him get turned down by the latinas here.

   He's brought and married foreign women here in the past 15 years or so and they all left. Now he's just dating. He recently had a house built in Dominican Republic for $35,000. So he thinks he's Hugh Hefner . It's all so funny I wish someone would make a reality show of this syndrome.

[sean126]

You mean latin women really DON'T think I look like Brad Pitt and wearing socks with flip flops and a super cool speedo on the beach ISN'T sexy?

Don't I feel like the horse's behind now.  I should have seen this site before I went to Colombia.

 Sean,


 I've seen your pics.  Your physical look is very attractive to most latinas I' sure. Now what you wear may be a different story.LOL!!!!
