If anyone wants some Bogota data, I'm heading home in a few days after a few weeks between here and Medellin :
- I stayed in an AirBnb in Zona Rosa, two blocks from Zona T (where that Forever 21 is). Pretty much anywhere in Zona Rosa is good, also to the north (Chico) or a bit to the south (Chapinero) are good options as well. The traffic is very bad in Bogota so if you are planning to spend most of your time in Zona Rosa you will want to stay close. Most girls reacted very positively when I said I'm staying in Zona Rosa.
- I pipelined on Tinder and in 2-3 days had about 200+ matches and ~30 WhatsApps before arriving. Resulted in 5 notches in Bogota in 10 days.
- Most girls don't speak English, I don't speak Spanish, I just used Google Translate (special thanks to LINUX for inspiring me to try this, worked quite well). It was easier to bang when she did not speak English.
- I booked dates in Zona Rosa at either Juan Valdez, Crepes and Waffles, Tostao's (a cheaper coffee place), or Milk Chai (this new place with Boba Tea). All of these locations were near the Atlantis Mall, Zona T.
- Date format was pretty much drink coffee/tea/beer, be very aggressive with touching, kiss quickly then make excuse to go back to apartment (it is too hot for me, teach me some Salsa/Reggaeton dancing, my washing machine instructions are in Spanish, I want to improve my apartment's style, etc.) From there it was all endgame.
- Went out several times to Club Colombia, where you can get cheap beer and dance. Pretty much everyone is in groups but they are friendly, Spanish is probably a requirement if you want to break into their social circle (I went every time with a Tinder date so didn't try this out). Also Bogota Beer Company, where no room to dance but can sit and talk, and Jack Diamond Club, which has amazing quality but you better have great Spanish and/or your Salsa skills up to par. Pretty much all the venues are concentrated on the same few streets around Zona T, just see which place is hopping and give it a shot.
- Didn't really do day-game, but Zona T/Zona Rosa during Friday/Saturday afternoons looked good, and during the weekday universities in Chapinero might be a good option. Lots of foot traffic between the TransMilenio stops and the universities, might be good to try.
Overall was really fun, but online gets old really quick. Towards the end I stopped using Tinder a lot, mainly because I was seeing one girl more often and blocked out the others. I think online is good for short trips, but for longer hitting up Jack Diamond or one of the top clubs in Zona Rosa with a suit and a bottle (like $40) will give you access to the top shelf, which is not accessible on Tinder. If you want the best, like most people have already said, get off the online dating and break into a social circle or do day game.
