      I have lived in Colombia with my wife a couple of times but I wasn't playing dating apps roulette. This guy was another beta male who went to Colombia for easy beautiful women, but you have to be smart about it. There are a lot of good women there and a lot of evil schemers. If she looks too good to be true, she probably is.

    Colombian here.
    I am deeply sorry for what happened to this young man. You can travel safely in Colombia but there are some rules that must be followed:
    Do not go out alone, or with people you do not know well. Especially at night.
    Do not show that you have money, dress well but leave your watch, jewelry, camera and expensive things in the hotel. If you have an expensive cell phone, use it discreetly or in private.
    Never leave your drink unattended while going to the bathroom, take it with you.
    And the most important thing. Do not come with the mentality that Latin women are easy and dazzled by foreigners. It is a myth that can cost you dearly. If a woman is out of your league at home, she's probably out of your league abroad as well. Be extremely cautious, if you want to meet a girl, have a friend introduce her to you, never through an app.

There’s many who might go to fool around with a girl thinking it’ll be easier or just have uncontrolled fun but he was mentioning how you can get drugged and either robbed or killed and sadly this seems to be the case for this man. Granted it’s not just Colombia a person should always be careful and cautious when traveling and even when traveling with friends or with “friends” cause look at what happens to that poor young woman in Mexico.

    My friend Tou Ger Xiong was just kidnapped and killed about a week ago. He was lured by a girl who led him to gangsters. Tou Ger was a humanitarian, activist, comedian, and well respected by the Hmong community worldwide. He fought hard for justice, but also partied hard. His weakness was attractive Columbian women. We are all mourning his loss. Be careful out there everyone. Always have a travel buddy and meet in public places. Don't do dating Apps. So sad for the loss of this young man as well.

And he had a thing for YOUNG Colombian women, the women I see in the pics that he posted were probably old enough to be his daughters. He was 50, the woman he called his girlfriend was 19.

      @Britt Scott: Colombia is much safer today in 2022 than it was in the 1990's. Medellin in particular was often described as a quasi-war zone in the early 90's at the height of the Medellin cartel. That said, today Medellin is one of the safer big cities in Colombia and safer than many cities in Mexico near the U.S. border. Medellin has transformed itself over the past 20 years from a crime haven to a favorite tourist spot within So. America. Of course, it is not Disneyland and increased tourism does lead to crimes of opportunities.
      It is a tragic what happened to this young man but it is an outlier event. I am from the U.S. and have been to Colombia over 5 times in the last 10 years. Of course, one should always take care and be guarded when visiting Colombia...it certainly is not the danger zone you paint.

Most of you are not street wise, Medellin can be loads of fun and it's a lovely city, with loads to do and see, this said, only if you are with the right people and in the right places. These are mafias that utilize attractive women and even young girls, to attract people on the web, lure them here and then use Scopolamine or date drug to rob them, and sometimes even kill them. He is not the first, there is a long sad history in medellín of this type of crime. He was found in Robledo, and though there is genuinely good thriving hard working people in Robledo, it is a dangerous, high crime area. I'm going to be targeted for writing this, and it's probably a dangerous thing to do, but I really would love for this to be known and spread out as much as possible.

This takes it to another level, instead of online, this is actually physical face to face interaction, but in the end , the same concept. If you cannot attract someone like this in your country, you sure will not attract one in a foreign land and if you do, be prepared to expect money is part of the motivation.

    I’m sorry for what happened to him, BUT, how could he have been so foolish? Unbelieveable.

      The scopolamine (may be a typo ) that they use to drug people is not an exact science. Sometimes it will incapacitate a person. Too much can kill a person. Like any other drug.

    There’s a bunch of videos on guys that this had happened to. Exact same thing. Meet women on tinder. Get drugged. Everything robbed. If ur lucky u wake up next day. I’m so sorry that this happened to ur brother. It has to be absolutely devastating to ur whole family.

      I think it's better to go to Germany to a well established brothel
