City Overview : City in the northwest of Colombia with hills and great weather. Safe, clean and organized. Can count on 2 hands the amount of foreigners I have seen here in a month.
-
Finally, I can say I have the nuances of this city down, though Ive had little time to explore, because I have been so busy recording rock songs. Lets just say it is my last attempt at glory. I have gone out with many women, mostly through Colombian Cupid and my musician friends have given me alot of good insights.
Logistics : In terms of logistics, this is the best city in Colombia. It has 1.2 million people, in the metropolitan area, but it has a small city feel. The bus and metro bus(like Bogota) system are very efficient and costs 1700 pesos per ride (about 1 dollar). If you live in the best and poshest central area called Cabecera, many bars, clubs, shopping centers are walking distance away. I always take taxis because of time constraints and generally will not pay more than 7000 pesos from one extreme to another part of the city. This is unlike Medellin, where from one extreme area to another it can easily cost you 20,000. Typical fare for me to a bar or shopping center is around 5000 pesos. Minimum fare is 4300 pesos with a 300 peso additional charge for nights, weekends and holidays. At night always take a taxi.
Lodging : If you have budget constraints, you will want to rent a single room or dorm bed at Kasa Guane, which is centrally located in Cabecera(the best neighborhood). Prices for the 3 single rooms available are around 50,000 to 60,000 pesos per night. It is the only hostel in the city and you will find a few europeans and americans here. They also dont have a problem with you bringing a girl back to your room, but the quality of the place is such, that most Bucaramanga girls will not put out, if they see you staying in this hostel. If you are staying for a month or more your best bet is a furnished apartment which you can find on Trovit.com or through a local real estate agency. Prices are similar to Medellin...for example, 1.4 million pesos per month for a centrally located furnished 1 bedroom apartment.
Sight seeing : I havent had a lot of free time to do this, but there are some nice small colonial towns about an hour or 2 away. Also there is the Chicamocha Canyon about an hour away from the city, which supposedly rivals the Grand Canyon in the US. Nevertheless, there are much bettter cities or places in Colombia to go sightseeing.
Day game spots : Haven´t done much of this since I have been mostly rehearsing or in a music studio during the daytime. But from what I have seen, your best best are the universities or parks in the city. You can find solo women there or in pairs. Malls dont seem as as such a good option, as a lot of women seem to be accompanied by male friends or several female friends. The best malls in the city are Quarta Etapa in Cabecera, Megamall near the city center and La Florida in the southern part (where the wealthiest areas of town are located). In the end, day game does not seem like such a great option here, as women are more reserved and weary of foreigners than in a city like Medellin or Cali. Most have never encountered a foreigner, since there are so few of us here. Women are friendlier and more open in the coast, Medellin, Pereira or Cali. Day game in Medellin, for example, results in a lot numbers but alot of flakes also. About 30 to 35 percent will agree to a date with you through day game. In Bucaramanga expect 20 to 25 percent. Almost no one speaks english here, so your Spanish skills better be solid. As a white blue eyed gringo who speaks some spanish expect to do better.
Nightlife spots : The G manifesto will probably want to kill me for this hehe, but I havent really gone out much to bars or clubs here. When I go out with a girl at night, I usually tell her to come to my apartment building at night and then we go to some local bar or I meet her at a mall, where they have drinking establishments in or near the mall. The Zona Rosa is very near to Cabecera(which is the best area to stay) and that is where you will find the best nightspots and bars. Though night game doesnt seem as productive, as Medellin, because the cute girls always go out in big groups with male friends and they are more conservative than their Paisa counterparts. A one night stand here would be close to a miracle.
Ease of Approaching: Girls are relatively friendly here, but more shy and conservative than in Medellin, Cali or the coast. This is not a busted dudes city, so you see mostly girls and guys going out within the same looks and age range. Many hungry men and not bad looking, so more competition than in Cali, Medellin or the coast. There are more white girls than any other city in Colombia I have been and these will be the hardest. Better to concentrate on the cute morenas. Also, internet game is probably your best bet to find the girls who are interested in foreigners.
Prices: Similar to Medellin and Bogota....so you can look that up in the Medellin data sheets. The coast, sector cafetero, Cali are a bit cheaper.
Women: Mediocre compared to the rest of Colombia. The chubby epedemic is becoming rampant here, so the cute young skinny girls are in huge demand and thus their attitudes are not pleasant. Many young single mothers here, just like the rest of Colombia.
The traditional word to characterize the women in Santander(the province) is brava which has many connotations in Spanish. To simplify things, I would say that it means they are overly proud and stubborn. Never had so many women come to my place and not bang them. In almost any other city in Colombia or the world. I have at least a 75 percent close ratio when they come to my pad. Here it is around 35 to 40 percent. You can try all the tricks in the book, but many will not accept your charm or persistence, when trying to get them into bed on the 2nd date. Have had 2 or 3 women leave my apartment because I pressured them hard and had them naked...but in the end they became indignant about it.
Age differences are the lowest I have seen in Colombia. If you are over 40 stick to Cali, Medellin or the coast. Also, if you want a fuck fest dont come here. I averaged 2 different girls a week here, but for me in Colombia, that is very mediocre. Mixx always talked about Pereira and Manizales...so that is where you want to go to maximize your bangs. Also Medellin, Cali and the coast will bring more results, since the women are more agressive and on the prowl (There is more competition for a good man). On Colombian Cupid, I have gotten many unsolicited emails from these cities, though I have specifically stated that I am only looking for Bucaramanga girls. No unsolicited emails from Bucaramanga girls. They always expect the man to be the one chasing. Since the chubby ratio is as high as I have seen in Colombia, the 7s or higher are more difficult than other cities. The good side is that they are the least flaky girls in Colombia. I would recommend romantic and funny game here, way more than cocky and aloof game, with most girls. The girls have the sexy vibe like in most of Colombia and are good conversationalists.....unlike Medellin girls, for example, who tend to be more superficial. Don´t see too many girls who have had plastic surgery like in Medellin or Cali
Pros: Best city in Colombia to live in .....in terms of safety, tranquility, logistics, cleanliness, organization and weather(similar to Medellin but less rain and a bit hotter). Good place to live once you have semi retired from game and have one girl you want to settle down with.
Cons: Conservative, stubborn, proud women who are in the mid level looks range, with regards to other parts of Colombia. Chubbiness is becoming prevalent. Better looking than the girls from the coast in general, but the girls from the coast are sexier and easier.
Personal experience : Many make outs especially on the 2nd date. Had one first date lay but that is a rarity here. Averaged banging 2 different girls here each week, mostly in the 24 to 28 age range. The young 18 to 21 generally stick to men a little bit older, but not in their 30s or 40s.
Overview: Would only recommend the city to a player who is ready to settle down and wants to live in the nicest city in Colombia. Would not recommend it to the player who wants quality and quantity, in terms of girls. For that stick to Medellin, Cali, Pereira or Manizales.
