By aggressive, I meant lower prices... the escorts are aggressive in the sense that there's more competition. In my visits the bigger selection (and thus more hot guys) is in Bogota. In Medellin, at least in my visits, rates are about 25% higher.

Nah not depressing me. I am far from new to this game. I've just never had a bad experience in a paid situation. I'm really clear on my expectations and I also usually insist on a taken-today photo (I'll tell them to do something odd like touch their elbow or something that wouldn't be a normal photo pose). That probably has weeded out the troublemakers. Plus it lets me know their real look as opposed to that day they felt photogenic 2 or 3 years ago. The other thing that I do is what I did way back in the AOL chat room or gay.com days when I dated... meet in public first. Feel them out. Smile and see if they smile back. A food court, restaurant, coffee shop. If they're unwilling, move on. Most are more the willing, especially if there's a free meal. I think between those 2 steps, it's how I've avoided the bad experiences except for the one I told you all about. Agreed on a deleted chat being a red flag. I've never actually had that happen. In fact, that troublemaker I mentioned never did so. I showed it to the staff at the love motel when he was throwing his tantrum. My last tip is to do a deep dive on any social media they share. I feel a lot more comfortable meeting someone who has real friends and a life. An IG with one headless torso pic with 0 friends on may mean he's just DL. It's not a deal-killer but it's a bit of a warning sign that I need to make sure I do those other 2 things I mentioned. As for the other poster who asked if I would send the photo, sorry, I'd rather not. I'm just glad to be done with the experience and lessons were learned. I wish I had employed my taken-today photo strategy with him... maybe he would have said no and I'd have never met him. Not sure he would've said no though... the photo I have of him was taken at lunch that day and not in an undercover way. He smiled/posed.

Made a couple visits this past year and can definitely confirm most of this. Medellin (although a smaller pool of choices) was definitely pricier than Bogota. I usually paid around 200K cop, but a few said no to that. If they had been super hot, I might have budged. They weren't. Medellin is the city I visit for the overall experience. It's nicer. But the much hotter guys with far more aggressive rates are in Bogota. Makes sense. Bigger city.

Totally get that. And I've had a few of those that did go well. 2 on this past visit actually. But yeah that one experience definitely soured me on freebies. I just prefer now to keep everything on the clock to avoid that situation ever again. But it's an ego boost when you "still got it" and when they're genuinely interested. You certainly can tell the difference. Sucks aging. Back in my 20s I was always one of the hottest in the club. Now when I show guys my old pics their jaws drop LOL... ugh! I'll think about sharing the photo again. I'd describe him but his description matches about 90% of the population there. 😄

I've hesitated to tell my one bad story similar to the one shared earlier in this thread. This happened in Bogota about a year ago. I often look on Grindr for "disponible." You often find better stuff than on the web. Saw a guy who wasn't advertising but I still offered compensation. He declined the offer saying he thought I'm hot. That should've been the red flag #1. I used to be... but I'm pushing 50 now. We met, had lunch, drinks after. Knowing what I know now, I would've insisted on seeing the drink prep or had an unopened bottle of beer. Fortunately he didn't drug it. But he could have. We went to a "love motel" where things started to go south. We played and fooled around a little, but he wasn't all that into it. Didn't think much of it. He wasn't an escort so he didn't have to be attentive, he was there voluntarily. And as I said, I'm getting up there. Extra pounds, less hair. As we wrap up, he goes into that same routine described by an earlier post. He started raising his voice, demanded money... when I raised an eyebrow and realized this was his scam, he started saying he's underage and calling the police... yelling, trying to cause a scene. I packed my stuff up and headed downstairs. In the lobby, the door opens inward and is controlled by the love motel. He blocked the door and wouldn't budge. He continued the yelling while I showed the staff our Grindr chat. They didn't pick either side they just stood there. So beyond embarrassing. I gave him a fraction of what he wanted... I really should've just given him more to get him out of my life. My heart was racing. It was terrifying thinking of getting police involved. I did nothing wrong... and I know he wasn't underage. He was in his mid 20s at least. Plus he had to show ID when we arrived to get in to the room... but I wasn't thinking about that at the time. I share this not to frighten but to enlighten. It's the only bad experience I've ever had like this. I've met dozens of guys both on M'cos and Grindr in my visits to Medellin and Bogota. The worst is they usually go into that routine after of how they had their wallet stolen or a parent or pet is sick and needs an emergency surgery. But that experience in Bogota scared the hell out of me and still gets me worked up just retelling it. I've considered attaching a photo of the guy to this post, but have decided against it. Just be as safe as you can guys. As for Medellin vs Bogota, I've found a much bigger selection at better rates in Bogota. Makes sense. Much bigger city. Even though my bad experience happened in Bogota, I've found Medellin to be the shadier of the 2. I like the city of Medellin more. But both have their issues ... and perks.

Tom is so right about the testing things out before you commit to spending a few days together nonstop. Had a blast with a Bogota guy when we had fun at my AirBnB. Super hot and friendly ... for an hour. He got annoying at times when we went to a soccer game the next day. I should've paid more attention to that before I flew him to Medellin to join me for the last leg of my trip. I couldn't wait to be away from him.

I have been lucky w the Airbnb I've used too. But keep in mind in Chapinero there are at least a dozen love motels. They're cheap and add a little fun to the experience.

Thanks for the report xpaulo! I figured the place went under since this thread was so quiet. Visiting in February and will seek it out!

A lot of Google Translate on our phones.

Took your advice and glad I did! Thanks!

Back from the trip... a few notes. Garage is no more. I looked for it when I first arrived in Bogota. Found out from a performer that I spotted on Grindr that it closed about 3 weeks ago. It's already been done over so I couldn't even precisely figure out where it even was. I found the selection of guys online in Bogota much better, but again found Medellin more to be the city I enjoy spending more time in. Going rate ranged between 150 and 250 (pesos). Punctuality is something you really can't expect. If you expect them to be on time, be really clear. Colombians are in their own time zone regardless of what your phone says the local time is. Bogota tip: bring your guy to Takuma Cocina Show. They will love it and so will you. Medellin tip: visit Brije and get the filet mignon in Poblado. Fantastic! Most of my encounters were from mileroticos but Grindr was a good backup. Start looking up profiles on both long before you land in Colombia. If you speak Spanish, great. If not, load WhatsApp on to your laptop and bookmark Google Translate. A fraction of the guys will attempt English but it'll be bad. The more communication you can do now on a computer the better vs when you get to Colombia and are on your phone. Copying and pasting endlessly on a phone is a p.i.t.a.

Great info thanks my friend. This is actually my fourth visit in the past year or so. So I know some of the basics. I guess I’m just specifically looking for reliable talent 🙂 I had a pretty bad experience here last year. as I mentioned before, I really don’t want to get into many specifics, but basically a guy hit on me on Grindr. I offered compensation. He turned that down. Saying he was generally genuinely interested. You can guess where it went from there 🙂 so yeah, now I’m more particular on who I hire. I try to find guys who have established social media presence or only fans that has a decent following. so I’ve had a few private messages from guys recommending some of the guys I posted links to which is encouraging. Just want to be a safe as I can be.

Thank you! I felt uneasy about him for some reason... glad to read this!
