It's not that I don't wish to "hone" the game skills required to bed every girl in Medellin, I just didn't care much for the Paisas. They were nice to look at and were easy to talk to, but the headgames get on my nerves. I'm not a rigid, anal sort of guy by any means; quite the opposite. But if someone makes a date with you and then tells you she's in the taxi on the way, then it's very annoying to sit there with your dick in your hand when she doesn't show up. I know that all the other Gringo studs in Medellin set up 3 dates in case they get flaked on, but I'm too old for that shit.
^ This attitude about Medellin rubs me the wrong way.
I come from Southern California so I have encountered intolerable bitches since puberty. I will say that Southern California girls, Paisas, and some French girls are the most stuck up girls I have ever encountered though (I haven't dealt with Miami women). The stuck up Paisas aren't as bad as SoCal, with game and again Spanish you can easily screen against the cunty ones.
If guys want to go to Bangkok instead it is smart decision if you don't want to hone the tools to succeed in Medellin.

Guys Colombia is a pretty big country, some guys do very well in Medellin, while others don't (myself included), if you're part of the latter group then just find another city that suits your tastes and where the women treat you better. Some guys like Bogota, some Cali, some really like the Caribbean coast, myself, I prefer the Coffee Zone. I'm a firm believer that Colombia is a country where any guy can find women to hook up with and have a good time, even if you enjoy playing violins in public and especially if you don't have any standards. Brewdog, I'll be down there in ten days, starting in Bogota then hitting up Manizales for the feria then probably Cali, let me know your itinerary and I'll try to meet up with you for some beers and we can complain about the Paisas together.

Some Gringo expats warned me when I got to Medellin that all the girls (yes, all is a strong word) are shallow and flaky. I would like to think they were wrong, but most everything I experienced confirmed that.

You do realize that girls from Manizales are also Paisas, don't you? Some people, even those from Medellin, have no clue what a paisa even is and think the paisa region is only the department of Antioquia or just the city of Medellin. The paisa region is actually the departments of Antioquia, where Medellin is, Caldas, where Manizales is (Dash got banned after saying that girls from Manizales are conservative), Risaralda, where Pereira is, Quindio, and parts of Tolima and Valle de Cauca.

I loved Salento, too, but was only there for a couple of days and did the backpacker/hostel thing. The girls down there were exceptionally flirty and seemed very down to earth, but they were always with their moms and family Christmas shopping during the day and at night the town closed down super early. I felt as if I could pull some serious leg there if I just get back when it's not Christmas/family time. I'm not ballsy enough to ask a girl out in front of her mom. I know, I'm pathetic. Also, I wore thin of the fake huge asses and balloon titties in Medellin, and the Manizales girls were more slim and natural, which I liked very much. I put Manizales on my definite to-do list this time.

I agree for the most part, it really depends on who you ask though. I think that the people in Caldas, Risaralda and Quindio are descendants of "Paisa" pioneers who came from Medellin and settled the land. Where it gets confusing for me is when people say that Paisas refer to any people from the department of Antioquia and generally one would think of these people as fair skinned, white Colombians but if you head to the northern tip of the department in cities such as Turbo and Apartado (Banana country), the people up there are darker and black, I would thus consider them Costenos because isn't the definition of a costeno person is someone from the Caribbean coast? I've never really been able to figure it out. And WTF is Dash doing talking about the women of Manizales, as if he's been there, as far as I know, the guy spent two weeks on the Caribbean coast about five years ago and hasn't been back, no wonder he was banned!

Since I know you personally I can say that a guy like yourself would do well there; you have the looks, are in good shape, dress well and you aren't an idiot, I'm sure that if you joined a local BJJ or MMA gym you'd make some good local friends who would likely introduce you to their circle of friends.

He met some girl in the United States from Manizales and said that from his observations of her, girls from Manizales are conservative. Mixx and the G Manifesto then smacked him around and Roosh then banned him. The girls I have met from Manizales haven't been conservative at all, although I met them in Medellin and have never been to any part of Caldas.

We have been on this trip for exactly two months now and didn't even come close to any danger - until yesterday night. We were doing streetgame at 4:00 am in Poblado while the clubs were closing down. Apparently we hit on the wrong group of girls, because suddenly a guy came up to us and pressed a gun against Zumador's spine. Maybe it's a good reminder to not forget where we are; maybe it's a good reminder to be more careful with streetgame late at night. With mixed groups in Medellin, it seems like you never know whose girl you are hitting on...

A bartender Paisa chick took me to her apt in Bello and I had such a good time around town that I wanted to go back to hang out, but everyone was adamant that if I went alone I would be raped and killed - but not necessarily in that order.
The real gold mine in Bogota that nobody ever writes about is the Primera de Mayo area, its the ghetto Zona Rosa of the south and Gringos generally avoid it for good reason as its pretty sketchy. I went there once with Atlantic and we had a good time, tons of trashy chicks down there if that's your thing. Just don't tell your upper class friends from the north that you're going there, they'll think you're insane.

That's what I was getting at though. I'm looking for a home away from home, basically. A place I can lay some roots down for a few years like I did in BKK.
I'm also not looking to rack up a dozen notches a month (well, not after the first month or two anyways hah) but a place where I can access higher quality girls and meet good people.
The weather in Bogota and Cali mostly rules them out for me. I want sunshine and nice (not blazing fucking hot and humid) weather. I'd also like to avoid another mega city like Bangkok.
Medellin sounds like it checks most of my criteria. Lets just hope the girls aren't as much of a pain in the ass as some make them sound.

Chapinero is okay, lots of student bars that can be fun in the early evening but nothing special. La Macarena is also a decent area to check out if you're near centro.

I am pretty sure a typical small city Colombian girl would act somewhat differently in Bogota.
