Safety as a man in Colombia.

[polonieth]

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.⁢

After reading this,︎ if I were you, I would NOT go anywhere I don't speak the local language️ 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! stupi#21

 

[TheCryptoAnt]

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

Clearly yeah

or defending yourself by being the first to shoot

 

[polonieth]

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.

 

[TheCryptoAnt]

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 the︀ situation grants it. Ive got a permit and s**t I aint trying to be a︁ commando.

 

[pixbix]

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 her︀ 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 ladies︂ consider us stupid... just because they get some dick from some "good looking bad boys︃ full of tattoos"

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

 

[jafo]

What are you trying to get out of︅ 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.

 

[pixbix]

Go there in your holiday, i am very sure you will be⁤ the next victim.
Just search "escopamine colombia" on you tube and scroll down before making⁣ this jokes.

Just look at this guy , and see how BIG he is, like⁢ he is a BIG guy. they solved him. and imagine , others will kidnap you,︀ take you in the van, and stab you with a knife till they empty all︁ your money , from all your apps (cashapp, revolut, paypal) and convert it to bitcoin︂ 🙂)

 

[scooterguy]

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 more︀ dangerous than now, and always had a blast.

Yes, it's not Monaco, and you have︁ 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 it︃ here that people are waiting there to kill you, and that you can't date local︄ women.

 

[jafo]

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

 

[scooterguy]

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]

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

 

[Ade]

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, their︀ people or them as women. And the idea that only because they are western and︁ have money they can do and have everything.

 

[JackAlabama]

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

 

[Marketint]

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

Maybe get just a job . 90% of the girls︁ 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.

 

[Ade]

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 one︀ might rob him.
If you call a professional escort service in Colombia I could imagine︁ there won't be any problem.

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