Intro
I've just finished a year in Colombia; spending roughly a month in each major city then worked for six months in Cartagena.
I'll write a datasheet on each, including a very detailed analysis of the north coast.
Though I can't claim to have much game (this is my first post here), I had a great deal of success dating Colombianas from Medellín, Bogotà, Cartagena and Barranquilla.... and took insights away that will help you guys.
Make no mistake, Colombia is a very diverse country with differing cultures. Your game has to adjust accordingly.
Preparation
Dancing - Most Important
I can't stress enough, how important and significant dancing is in Colombian culture. You don't need fancy moves like you see in Latin clubs in the western world, just know the rhythms and be able to dance on time, and lead strongly.
Any Colombian guy with game will tell you how they seduce women through dancing with solid technique and lead... without saying a single word.
Salsa is universal throughout the country. Colombian's dance salsa completely different to Cuban or LA styles... that shit won't fly with Colombianas and will only confuse them. Get familiarised with Cali style.
Merengue is a close second (very simple), and they will soon be yours if you can lead Bachata and Vallenato which are intimate hold/ romantic styles.
All of my pulls were ultimately a result of dancing, leading strongly and physically seducing on the dance floor. She is yours during that time and you can hold take the express to intimate body holding/establishing connection straight away.
It also shows that you are culturally aware, and the girls will look forward to going out with you again.
Even starting a dance after you've got her home is an express path to sex.
If you can sing some words of a Romeo Santos song to her, even better.
Spanish
English isn't common in the country at all.
The more Spanish you have the better.
City Breakdown
Here is a quick summary of cities to help you choose....
Bogotà
Cold, conservative with no metro, tons of traffic and second least friendly city I visited. Because of this the chicas don't get much attention, and you can use that to your advantage. They warm up over time and will treat you like a king further down the line.
Medellín
Most modern, liveable and friendly city in the country.
It has the most variety in terms of looks and I doubt you'll ever get the cold shoulder. The only disadvantage is that the place is full of foreigners and your status as such could even be seen as a disadvantage. I rarely saw paisas on the arm of foreign guys despite the huge expat community.
There is a huge and thriving couchsurfing community which is your gateway to new friends and opportunities for a bang. I dated two paísas during my time there and it was genuinely fun, and uplifting in every way.
Cali
Salsa capital of the world, dangerous and hottest women in the country. Zumba was also invented here.
If you can't dance or speak Spanish I would leave this place alone.
It's really dangerous, and boring as hell if you don't like dancing.
Caleñas are guarded because of crime, and your public approaches will be initially met with guarded suspicion. The women though, are hands down the hottest I've seen per capita in Latin America and have smokin hot bodies because of the dancing and athletic culture.... and they know it, so your Colomian attuned game needs to be air tight.
Bucaramanga
Highest literacy and employment rate in the country. Girls are cute, smart and probably studying/working in engineering of some kind, as that is the major industry of the region. I didn't pull here, but made many friends.
Santa Marta
Small city on the coast, and polar opposite to Bucaramanga. It's loud, disorganised with high traffic of grungy pot head tourists en route to Taganga. Women are fairly approachable, and really cute, but lack intelligence, drive or sense of romance. My least favourite city.
Barranquilla
Salsa legend Joe Orroyo moved here purely on the basis if the hotness of women.
There are very few foreigners living here, though there is a huge influx for Carnival. Foreigner status is at a premium here. Barranquilleras will drop their panties the most swiftly for you here.
Dating Culture
Reputation is incredibly important in Colombia.
Colombianas are often introduced with guys through their brothers/cousins/friends who can vouch for them.
If you have time to play the long game - consider this.
Gringos have a pretty bad reputation in Colombia for being drug and sex tourists.
I found myself starting on the back foot because of this, and had to make extra effort to show I wasn't that kind of guy. I had long conversations with the parents of my chicas about it - whom were really averse to their daughters dating foreigners.
This applies especially to Medellín and Cartagena, where I saw many scruffy backpackers high as kites, and older white men strolling around and flaunting enhanced prepagos.
Chivalry
Always offer to pay for taxis/pick her up for the date, and take her home. In the west this might seem beta, but in Latin cultures, especially Colombia, the women will appreciate it greatly.
It's likely that your date will live with her folks - if you can drop in, say hi to her Mom in Spanish and have a brief chat (despite intentions) you're on a great path!
Night Game
Clubs are tough. Throughout the country, people go out in groups, sit in their groups in likely impenetrable form. I asked girls who I know if it would be off for guys to cold approach groups them in groups - they responded resolutely with a yes.
Open bars, selected dance focused clubs, festivals (there are many), outside clubs are your best bets.
Day Game
Malls in middle/upper class areas are your oyster as are buses/metro (in Medellín)
Go to any Unicentro, dress smart with a smile and you're unlikely to be brushed off. Approaches work here, Girls working in fashion shops especially, will love taking with you whilst you try on shirts. They'll be interested in you and receptive to invitations to drink and dance at a posh club in town.
Internet Game
If varies depending on the city. Cartagena is useless for dating apps, yet Medellín is a goldmine. Adjust accordingly.
Competition
Generally speaking, Colombian dudes have poorer game than say Brazilians, Cubans and Dominicans.
They cat call a lot, generally pay less attention to their appearance or manner to their female counterparts.
Dates
Follow standard alpha form and be organised.
Never ask a Colombiana what she wants to do or where she wants to go. Her pussy will dry on you faster than you can blink.
Always have your Plan A/B and be organised. Pick her up, or make sure she has transportation, dress smart and be really put together. You can be certain she'll make a lot of effort for you.
Make it fun and involve dancing, bring old school chivalry and you're on a winner.
No negging in Colombia - ever.
Be complementary, noting her hair and clothes and tell her she smells lovely when you're dancing together.
That's all I can think on for now.
I'll post more detailed datasheets with venues, etc. on Bogotà, Cali, Barranquilla and Cartagena soon.
EDIT (as requested)
Oh and some dance venues in Colombia (pending up coming datasheets)
Son Havana - Medellin: Best, most raucus salsa joint in the country. Good ratios, quality women in a middle class area.
Tin Tin Deo - Cali: Good place for all levels, generally people don't sit at tables and change dance partners after each song.
El Tibiri - Medellin: Subterranean with underground rave like atmosphere for serious dancers
Eslabon Prendido - Medllín: This joint is definitely the most gringo friendly.
Their biggest night is Tuesday and it felt like every backpacker in town was there when I was... iinterspersed with passionate local salseros!
Peace
