Safety as a man in Colombia.

[polonieth]

Its incredibly easy to get you hands on a pistol in South/Central America.

I recommend yall to get one if you go there, it really saves lifes (yours at least)

That is another bad idea. Does anyone actually practice the things they preach here?

Before you get a pistol, you need extensive firearms training to know how to handle a gun. Anyone who just buys a pistol is going to end up killing themselves, getting killed, or causing a dreadful accident via a negligent discharge.

Sorry for rising my concers about safety around women again but the only people I can ask are you. You are just like me. Stingy like me, rich like me.You are my brothers in many terms! I want to go to Colombia for a few months, my only problem is that I have 500 phone numbers from various women on the list...sounds like problem no?

I have heard various stories about the fact that you can very easily be drugged in Colombia, killed, etc., with the aim of being robbed even of your passport.
I did almost everything to protect myself from this. I only talk to nice girls, who work or ar students, who have places to go. Are fitness instructors ok, coz i saw many gym girls hitting on me?
I don't go to big cities, where there are scammers, I chose a small town like Pereina. I ask for a lot of photos from girls, and i kept a list of top 10 , that i know where they work also. even if i am decent looking, sometimes even in Dubai/Colombia/Ukraine some whores or scammers are hitting on me, fact that scare me. Why would a whore or a scammer write me, if i can have xxx for free from others girls? Or buy simple invinting them to a pizza or hamburger?

Someone just told me about the story of a doctor in the UK, he was upset that even though he worked over 10 hours every day and helped a lot of people, sometimes performing surgeris and consultations for free the women behaved badly towards him, even when he wants to offer them something like going to a restaurant. I know that he doctor become mad because a lot of english women refused a trip to some exotic island/place but i can't remember the location exactly. Finally, the doctor was happy that he found Colombia where has always someone to spend money on.... He even rented a villa for $20,000 for 1 month. The sad story is that After 3 weeks, and having xxx with 20+ girls, the last one drugged him. She stolen almost $25,000 in cash + his laptop (with a lot of private informations, unecrypted laptop, he have no backups) and of course his pants along and also his UK passport. he was lucky to be friends with 2 pensioners from the USA moved there. they found him inconsistent after they went to his their friend they meet... in a bar.
He dated all those girls, on TINDER. Including the last one.

How can problems like this be avoided? Or can them be avoided?

Sometimes I also cry because even though I've worked a lot when I want to eat at an ok restaurant that also offers shows, or actually I want to spend $150-200 on a nice "helicopter ride" I have no one to go with. Women tell me "I'm not a whore". Somehow I am done with the "good western women", that will just want to ruin your life for turning you into a miserable "beta male provider". If you are act as a beta provider, they will just ask for more more and more, then in 6 months she will tell you "sorry , i don't want a relation now", if you protect your position she will say "you are a bad guy, f**k off! i need a serious guy !" , they also like to have multiple men she test who is good or not...lol

I know Dubai might be better and safer, but I want to visit Colombia as well. At less in Colombia I can find white girlfriends also. I am not into prostitution. I respect them , but most of them I think they are problem makers + I don't like to burn money, i am greedy. I spend money on boats and helicopters, not on whores.

After reading this, if I were you, I would NOT go anywhere I don't speak the local language fluently and the locals look different than me. Seriously, don't go. I've seen too many friends wander off to exotic places they had NO business being there. Unless you guys are going in a group of 8 or more, don't go to these places. It will NOT end well.

Most Europeans, especially from Scandinavian and Eastern European countries should NOT travel to Latin America alone or even in pairs. It can really go South quickly (pun intended). I've seen too many of these horrors throughout my life in Latin America. You are a target the moment you land!

I do when in Mexico. Not necessarily safe in certain areas.

Clearly yeah

Anyone who just buys a pistol is going to end up killing themselves, getting killed, or causing a dreadful accident via a negligent discharge.

or defending yourself by being the first to shoot

I can guarantee that 99% of people who buy a pistol with no training or previous experience with a firearm will not successfully defend themselves. I'd be surprised if they even get a round-off, or if they do, it's gone through a window across the street and killed some 8-year-old bystander.

You're carrying when you're in Mexico? What weapon and how are you carrying it? I am calling BS on that one.

Im not gonna be the one arguing with you about this cause yeah

I bought a Sauer P227, there're tons of them in Mexico. A lot of Ruger LC9 too and theyre usually cheap but old.

I dont carry when I go to the supermarket lmao, just when driving at night or if the situation grants it. Ive got a permit and s**t I aint trying to be a commando.

It's funny that even US guys who LIVE in Mexico, in that city full of "working girls" are giving advice to others to not go in Colombia.

and how you see, he is doing better then those guys who went to Colombia, he have girls at his home, better good looking, and no problems.

in Colombia a lot of gangs begun to target foreign guys.

there were cases where the guy catched the girl when she poorer drugs into his drinks. the guy grabbed the girl to push her out of his home. the girl was insultin the guy for not drinking "his drink" , she put resistence "i will get out , after you drink it!". This ladies consider us stupid... just because they get some dick from some "good looking bad boys full of tattoos"

are there gangs who put their "working girls" to kidnap tourists ? like to kidnap you a van , and sting you with a knife till you open your phone, so they can transfer your PayPal and Banks funds into crypto or to a bank?

What are you trying to get out of all this?

 

[scooterguy]

I went to Colombia once.

I remember that as soon as I arrived at the airport in Bogota, dozens of women were chasing me with knives and poisoned drinks in their hands, so I just turned around and bought a ticket back home.

Of course I won't go there, I only go to the safest countries nowadays. But I was there many times in the past, when it was more dangerous than now, and always had a blast.

Yes, it's not Monaco, and you have to take your precautions. Do not walk at night, take a cab everywhere you go, do not wear your Rolex in public, etc., but it's not like you're painting it here that people are waiting there to kill you, and that you can't date local women.

Precautions for pretty much everywhere with the exception of Monaco, China, Japan, and maybe Switzerland.

Yeah but Latin America is on another level of extra precautions.

I can walk at night in most capital cities of Europe or Asia, while I text on my iPhone. That's not something you do in Bogota at 2am.

 

[jafo]

while I text on my iPhone.

You have a lot of business. I've never found the need to text or talk on the phone in public. Props to you

2am and I can see a lot people walking and texting on their phone. Not Bogota but Medellin and maybe not iphones, though.

I registered here to exchange experiences when it comes to business/tax related topics and definitely there are some interesting posts and people!
But I realize that when it comes to anything other than this I don't have much in common with most people here.

And up to some point I now better understand a colombian woman I saw in an interview who was asked wether she has a bad conscience because she's drugging guys and robbing them. She said "No" because these guys come here in order to exploit them, too. With no respect for their country, their people or them as women. And the idea that only because they are western and have money they can do and have everything.

well the ladies are seemingly doing a lot of business, so theres need for texting.

Bad excuse. Just because someone offer you money for sex it gives you the permission to drug that person and kidnap him? They don’t have to do it

Maybe get just a job . 90% of the girls can have a normal job. They just prefer the easy lifestyle . Chanel bags ect. This i just a way to tell herself that what she is doing right..

Watch what kind of people this are . Nothing poor or silly about.

Thats what I mean in terms of attitude. Obviously you see something different in that video than I do.

Of course its an excuse in order to not feel bad. So do all of us.

However I don't believe they are all prostitutes doing this. The TE says he has 500 numbers of women in his phone and seems to be afraid one might rob him.
If you call a professional escort service in Colombia I could imagine there won't be any problem.

And then again don't forget where we are here. I saw multiple threads / post asking advice for illegal activities in order to make money. Seems hypocritical to judge here on this forum.
