I forgot to update this and will give a more complete debriefing later. But the Colombia trip was awesome. Technically I already have 2 Colombian flags, but I didn't count them because they weren't in Colombia. But on this trip I met 4 girls off Colombian Cupid and was able to close 1. I had a few street pickups where I got numbers completely in Spanish (It was brutal, my Spanish wasn't good, but once I opened a girl...they would basically number close me.)
I hit Barranquilla for most of the trip.
I ingratiated myself pretty quick with some cute girls and their friends thanks to a local friend from there connecting me with people. I found many parties and hit up fun clubs like Frog Legs. When one girl asked me if I could dance I said not really...show me...like I learned from The Salsa Swoop move posted. We got into it and I guess I danced well enough where she called me a liar. But it was hot and all those girls are fierce out there.
In short, for now, 2 weeks I did pretty well. The girls in Quilla are incredible. I love the city...very rough around the edges....good energy.
I would kill it there with more time I believe...especially since I built a decent network of friends while there.
I didn't have a great gringo advantage....many of the people I met there said they wouldn't have known I was not Colombian if I had not opened my mouth. This surprised me. Many assumed I might be from Bogota due to my fair skin. But when girls did find out...it helped. They said my funny Spanish was endearing. Had a few run ins with police...getting pulled over once and another stopped in the streets drinking....but they were all super polite and once they found out I was from the States...shook my hand and sent me on my way. My bad Spanish helped in this case also. In addition....Hit up Lleras with a new amigo...he showed me all of Medellin. El centro and more.
The biggest thing I learned is that my regular states game failed dramatically here.
These girls want to be wooed...in fact one helped me out and told me....a Colombian girl wants to be conquered with your words. The shit that makes THEM melt would have an American girl rolling her eyes at you.
That's it for now.
Peace
