Gringos with their Gringo girlfriends getting robbed no problem in Colombia. There are a lot less videos on KZbin about that. But it makes sense because most tourists in Medellin travel solo and like to hook up with local chicks or even guys if it is a woman traveling. Criminals are watching you everywhere you go. It doesn't matter if you have a girlfriend or not. If they decide to hit on you they will trust me.

@@ThinLineMedia gringo is a strange term. Doesn’t apply to us. Gringo describes a look. Girlfriend is Honduran, fluent Spanish, and I’m Dominican, also fluent Spanish. We don’t even almost look like Gringos. We also also both smart, we don’t even drink or smoke, so we’re never around the clubs. When we go to Colombia, we’re on business. We go from point A to point B, that’s it. Otherwise we go to the mall attached to the hotel. You’re watching too many videos, referring to the video where they said they’re watching you from the airports. He also said they target solo males. If you’re a couple, you aren’t a target, you’re just looking like an easy lick from the moto robbers. Probability of getting robbed is like less than 2%, traveling with your girlfriend likely reduces those odds to less than 1%. Maybe if you’re a white gringo who doesn’t know a lick of Spanish then your odds may be higher.
@ThinLineMedia Жыл бұрын
@@investmentanalyst779 No I was referring to other video where a couple was robbed in Medellin. Chance of getting robbed by moto robbers is pretty high. Your taxi driver can also tip the moto robbers. That is also a problem in Colombia that anybody can tip the criminals. While gringo look gives a person higher percentage of getting robbed, if you look Latino you can still get robbed. Lots of Colombians, Mexicans, Equadorians, Chileans, Argentinians - the list goes on are getting robbed. The moment you relax and think nothing is gonna happen to you and that you know how to move, that is when shit can happen. Now, we forgot that you also can get scammed in Colombia which sometimes is no different from a robbery because you can also lose little to large amounts of money that way ....

I’m a a wall st analyst, not only did I reduce risk before hand, if we do get robbed, I wouldn’t lose anything.

My mother is Colombian and emigrated to NYC in the 70s. She use to say the United States is a great country even the poor are rich. I read comments of idiots believing that they’re from Chicago, NYC, Los Angeles and etc that they could survive in Colombia. Yet, these guys primarily stay in strata 5-6 districts in Medellin. It’s easy to play tough online like so many of these individuals. I was born in the United States in the Bay area but I have also lived in Chicago. Nothing in Chicago compares to ciudad Bolívar, Usme, Soacha and the south of Bogota. The poverty is immense alone

Good job with the advice. I live in Boston. I will share 2 things. A former co-worker here in Boston, who is from Medellin, once told me something very interesting. He and his son went to Medellin for vacation. At one point they stayed at a hotel for a night. The next day they left. They took a cab. On their cab ride, they got stopped by these guys with guns. They ordered my co-worker to hand over whatever money he had. He complied. They then took off. My co-worker is convinced that someone in the hotel knew that they travelled from America and therefore supposedly had money. This person then tipped off the robbers who waited for him. Here's the second story. I know another Colombian here in Boston. She's in her late 50s or early 60s. The other day I mentioned to her about the tourists who are getting drugged in Medellin, her hometown. You know what she said? "Good for them, why are they going to pick up those women?" It felt really cold for her to say that but I wonder who else feels that way in Colombia? I have always wanted to visit Colombia but that has changed. Not going there for the foreseeable future.

One thing that I would add is to stay where there’s a receptionist who takes their ID and also does not give it back or let them leave without talking to you for your ok. You are right too ably clothes. Lots of guys ay to dress like a Colombian but come on, mannerisms are so different and same with haircuts so doubtful most will pass as a Colombian. So right too about it’s also a roll of the dice when or if you’ll be a victim.

Do not hang around people who are possibly engaged in criminal activities or have problems with certain individuals. And also spend money for a good hotel with good security. And if you want to bring a woman over have another safe hotel where you bring them over.💯🤷🏻♂️

I am very generous and friendly with my building security and they know no girls leave without me oking it. They know I dont drink and no reason I should ever be incoherent. The crypto component is important but all apps to financials shouldnt be on the phone. All biometric security should be changed to a pin. A pin is harder to access if youre unconscious. But there should be minimal security or financial risks on the phone. All bank cards secured. Use only cash you are willing to lose. I carry a throw wallet with fake cards, little cash and a cheap ass garbage phone with all the memory used up. If I get got, so be it but I minimize my risk as much as possible.

That way they can't 2fa you as easily. you can still use your main WhatsApp account with a Colombian sim.

Its usually in touristy areas too. Sabaneta is home for me. Maybe not for others. Get out of poblado if you want to meet women.

Different countries different set of laws and rules. I was in the U.S. Navy in the 80's and had a Filipino try to take my money out of my front pocket in a jeepney.I kept pushing his hand away and he thought that slapping my hands would deter me enough to get to my pesos. I stood up ran to the back of the jeepney and hopped off the back while it was still rolling and luckily left with my money and life. We were always given safety briefs and areas to avoid prior to entering overseas ports. Never once was I naive enough to think that other Countries can't be more dangerous than the U.S. I wasn't the typical arrogant loudmouth annoying American that locals would complain about as well. I thought me and some friends were going to jail in TIJUANA once. We told the cab driver the truth that we only had a little bit of money left each and the cab driver said ok. When we reached the Mexico US border, there were 2 policemen ahead of us and the cab driver all of a sudden told us no I said pay me more so then ; the cab driver gets out and starts walking toward the policeman. We were very lucky because at the same time the bus going back across into the U.S. pulled up. We hopped out of the cab quickly ran around the bus to block our view from the cab driver and policemen. boarded the bus and got out of there. in the early 2000's my father moved to Mexico and had a house built there. He lived in Mexico for 10 years and I would go on two-week vacations there when I could for some great fishing and fun with the locals. I got an invitation from the locals to go see a concert in La Paz and while waiting in line to enter the concert I was in the middle of federales police shooting at someone and was glad I wasn't hit by a stray bullet. My father sold his house there just for it to be demolished. My American stepsister and her cousin are married to Hispanic men and live there. The last time my father went through TIJUANA, he said it was really dodgy and won't be going through there anymore. This is all true and not made up. I'm not one to make up stories or stretch the truth. there are you tube videos of U.S. Born Hispanics who won't go to MEXICO. So it is definitely wild out there.

i will change my path and take the long route to avoid obvious druggies and groups of young males. i see people often walking within arms reach of them, assuming they are harmless

Good advice, but what are you doing in a country that unsafe. Simply do not go to these countries, there are so many places just as nice as these, with next to zero crime, you are literally wasting your time going to potentially lethal places that don't respect you as an individual. If you think it's cool/clever to try to avoid robberies/stabbings/death every day, then just remember, when you slip up that one time, you'll wish you never went there (but it could be too late to survive). It is no joke, it is not a game.

Ya paren con esa bobada de que como se tiene que ser en Colombia, en todos los paises es el mismo peligro, mas bien dejen de ser tan gringos y aprendan a comportarse en otros paises.

Obviously you haven’t been to other countries except South American continent - even Costa Rica is way safer…

He really don't need these clowns unless you're high-profile which case maybe you want to have somebody shadowing you but otherwise just stay at a nice hotel just basically take a little bit of cash Maybe One credit card or you don't even need to bring your credit card with you leave it at the hotel but just bring enough cash to pay for the evening and get the girl back to the hotel if it's a nice hotel they're going to check her identification when you arrive anyways and they're going to photocopy it and keep it there just in case

Excellent video. I appreciate your outlook on just rolling with the punches if it's your time. Are there any other precautions men should take in the mid to long term when they start exposing themselves a bit more to friends, a girlfriend, or business partners? We hear the tragic stories where they play the long game on someone and get them 12-18 months down the line after some level of trust and rapport is reached.

Hey bro thank you! I'd say in general never show what you have more than necessary. Also anytime you're about to shell out a large amount of money just be aware that things can go wrong quite often and you may lose it. Also leave an air of mystery around yourself that may keep partners guessing if you could possibly have a dark side or not. Sadly if people think they can screw you over with 0 consequences they will be much more likely to that's just the harsh reality
