However, if going to be more than 10 minutes late , then they must contact me. I do text them in the evening and again the morning of our date as reminder.

    this is a well thought out pleasant conservative view of Colombia. I would like to add a few things in my 12 years of experience while traveling. currently, there is a crackdown on sex, tourism and exploitation of minors the general consensus of the Colombian public is that most people that come to Medellin are there for drugs and hookers which is not true there’s a lot of people that come for a girlfriends for dating for cultural reasons . The general public thinks you were guilty until proven innocent also, the organized crime has no mercy for you if you’re with a girl that’s 20 and you are 45 and their mind. You deserve what you get even if she is your wife. they have a program right now “Eyes in all parts“ this is like a neighborhood watch program if you’re an older American with a young girl, there’s a possibility of the neighbors calling the police on you. They will come in and check the identification of the girls and and question you . if your girlfriend brings her little sister there to hang out in your apartment and she is not 18 you will probably be plastered all over RUclips in the newspapers as a pedo it doesn’t matter if it’s her little sister it’s not your daughter. You should not be in the presence of a minor anytime anywhere for no reason. Guilty until proven innocent. Don’t trust anybody don’t be too friendly to anybody you can say hello and no thank you but that’s it . Stay off the dating apps.

    Prostitutes are not the biggest threat! Bumble and Tinder are ! I have lived in Colombia for the past six years, and I stay updated on the current news. Distinguishing between good and bad girls can be quite difficult. I have seen foreigners who were drugged and robbed even after getting to know girls for months. The number of foreigner deaths in Medellin alone is three per week on average. That means there are probably about a good 40 robberies per week using these apps. Medellin is a VERY small city BTW.

    • @freedomfiles_

      "The number of foreigner deaths in Medellín alone is 3 per week on average." This is not true, unless you're extrapolating a single week in December 2023 or something. Not sure where you got that number. In my experience here, it's very easy to tell the difference between good and bad girls.

    I don't understand why corn-fed beef gets such a negative view. Corn is simply the seed of a grass plant, so corn-'fed beef is really grass fed beef! Cattle are vegetarians! They eat plants, including the seeds of plants! And hormone use is down considerably nowadays! Grass-fed beef is older beef, twice as old if not more, so their meat will naturally be tougher and has less flavor because of the lack of marbling! It does sound like Colombia is getting a little more dangerous for foreigners once again, but what you say about the women of Colombia is so true! They are truly feminine and love to show it!

    Thanks for saying grass fed beef is less tasty, its completely true...US beef is fed on corn which has a buttery flavor it tastes better actually than grass fed but is less healthy because there are probably other hormones. I ate a lot of Australian and New Zealand grass fed beef and I realize its less flavorful! For some reason a lot of people think grass fed tastes better than US beef which I also got into my head at first too until I started eating grass fed over and over and realized its pure BS...however I can agree that its likely more healthy than corn fed beef.
