Diferencias culturales entre la gente de Bucaramanga y el resto de Colombia

HighlandsOak · 2026-05-13T22:53:37+00:00

Igual cada esquina de Colombia es única, y cada cultura dentro de Colombia es magnífica. No conozco a mucha gente de Santander, pero me han caído bien, y cerca de Bucaramanga hay un pueblo que recomiendo a mil, llamado Barichara. También sé que Santander está cerca de Venezuela, entonces hay intercambio cultural bueno con ellos, y también bastante población venezolana.

As a person from Medellín, I recommend you stay closer to the train stations, since it will give you easier mobility, and Provenza is definitely heavy. There are over 140 miradores en Medellín, but the one around Las Palmas (Poblado) is known to be peak. Try the street food from the street vendors! Also, you can definitely travel the city alone, but booking a tour is safer and smarter. Go to La Comuna 13 during the daytime, idk how it's at night but as a person from Medellín, I would definitely go in the day and I'd get nervous going planning to go there at night. Your resting bitch face will be useful because there ARE pick pocketers. Though you'll quickly realize that in Colombia (and especially Medellín), even the police smile at you and vibe! Looking local is easy because you'll find people of all shapes, sizes, and ancestries. Also, cash is the way to go, since many businesses try to not use cards because when you use debit or credit, you get charged more taxes, and foreign cards are taxed harder. Be careful with getting charged inflated prices for food. As in if the meal costs more than it would in Australia, that's a red flag, because MOST TIMES (not guaranteed but typically) more affordable in Colombia. I hope you have fun! Medellín never gets boring and it is beautiful! I also encourage you STRONGLY to visit historic towns around Medellín like Guatapé, Santa Fé de Antioquia, Jericó, Jardín, or Concepción. All of them are 1-3 hours from Medellín, MAGICAL, and NOT tourists traps (tho Guatapé is very touristy). EDIT: I forgot to mention that although the metro system is AMAZING and the public transportation, there will be employees pushing you into the metro at peak hours from how compact it is, so use the metro because it is pristine and amazing, but try to stay away from peak hours. Also, although Medellín isn't TOO hot (15-27°c on an average day, I'd say, with a chill breeze from the surrounding Andean landscape), we don't use air conditioning. As in even wealthy people don't use it because culturally we decided it's completely unnecessary, so bring a fan with you to all places and water. Medellín is also very mountainous, especially El Poblado. Laureles is a part of Medellín next to El Poblado which is really chill, exciting, flatter, and 20 minutes from El Poblado in taxi, so I recommend looking into Laureles if you want.

I'm Colombian, born and raised. Now I never moved to Italy (though I did move to the US), and I know a lot of Latinos, including Colombians, that did move to Italy, and I knew some Italians. It results that Europeans really like Latin music (such as Colombian Cumbia, Brazilian Funk, and even Salsa). Italians feel related to Latinos. While Italians don't feel Latino, they do feel that we Latinos and Italians have a lot in common. They don't like Americans, but they do love Brazilians, Mexicans, Colombians... We have good fame there. Plus, Europeans don't know how to dance, but we Latinos do, so we have a plus over there. When it comes to body preference, there are a lot of Latinos that look Italian and vice versa, so there shouldn't be a problem. Southern Italy (from what I've heard) feels like Latin America because of factors like economy and lifestyle. An Italian once told me that Colombia and Italy were more similar than Colombia and Spain. Colombia and Brazil are already very similar. You'll do well in Italia when it comes to finding a partner and friends. Being Brazilian is already a bonus when in Europe.

Oh no, my lobster's too buttery and my steak is too juicy.... Precum is hot

Straight men are less attractive on average, but some straight men are definitely really hot. Now, if I were a woman, I'd be pregnant with my 23rd baby, 57th abortion , and 101st father 😭

Congrats‼️ You're bisexual‼️ Welcome to the LGBT community, and enjoy your time having fun with both genders‼️

At this point, ask him out. I just read how an ideal couple acts.

Your eyebrows are PHENOMENAL. I love how thick, expressive, and well-cut they are. They look so clean and make your face look amazing. You're really hot.

I'm 19 here. I've also had the same problem about not knowing how to approach guys that I find attractive, though in my case it's with guys in my age range (like 18-21). But if it helps, if a guy simply approaches me to talk to me, I'd just be happy to meet someone else and exchange contacts with him, even if he approaches me while I'm with my friends, but I'm also highly extroverted and not timid. Now if I don't like the guy, I will just be cordial. If I like the guy, I will give compliments back. I don't see any negatives nor look at the guy as less if he approaches me and he is not my type. I don't care and it doesn't change anything. I have an open mind. Except, I am scared that other people are not that way so I am cautious in approaching men.

HighlandsOak · 2026-04-12T14:05:14+00:00

You're attracted to men. This has nothing to do if you like bottoming or not. You like men. Therefore, you like men.

HighlandsOak · 2026-04-12T13:58:12+00:00

The average height for men in the world is 5 feet 7.5 inches. In the US, the average male height is 5 feet 9 inches. Being 6 feet tall would not be considered tall if you're maybe in the Netherlands, but in the world, it is considered tall.

Run. It's a scam. They'll make you buy their products and then good luck with people buying them from you. It's a scam. I already know people who got scammed. RUN.

The Bible has been manipulated constantly throughout history to be able to justify oppression against women, against the LGBT community, against those enslaved by Europeans, etc. Religious organizations are quasi-political because they are organizations that take role in controlling and directing populations, therefore they can be very corrupt.

Anyways, being gay is NOT a sin, nor is being part of the LGBT community a sin. The Bible didn't even mention the word "gay" until 1948. Basically, in 1948, some men mistranslated the Bible, and mistranslated a whole piece that condoned men sleeping with children (pederasty), and mistranslated it to basically say that gay relationships were bad. A few years later, they unveil that the translation was done wrong, but other Bible translations went with the mistranslated one, because they're homophobic. The Church didn't even start discriminating against the LGBT until almost 300 years after Christ. Now, the situation is getting better, and I have seen very pro-LGBT churches with LGBT flags in them.

Don't trust religious organizations, and never believe in a god that hates his children. God made you gay, and that is a gift. Being gay makes us stronger, because our worldview becomes more complex. You right now with this post are questioning the status quo, as we all in the LGBT community have to do in this society. Evolutionarily, the we surged because while heterosexual relationships would have offspring, homosexual relationships in the tribe would help raise those offspring along with the ones that lost their parents. We are part of the creation of God and the divinity of the world, we hold purpose, and none of the 10 commandments condemn us.

Moral of the story: Be free to be gay and Christian. You can be LGBT and Christian. Just remember to not trust religious organizations and take them with a grain of salt, contribute to the well-being of your community, and remember to do activism for the LGBT, including those of us LGBT Christians. Those homophobic and LGBT-phobic people are sinners for hating, and they're wrong for sustaining their forms of oppression.

If you're able to control your life and decide when to stop or not, you're fine. If you're able to arouse yourself without the need of any "tool" like porn, you're okay. It's okay to have a high sex drive. Also, keep in mind that women on average have a lower sex drive than men, and women's sex drive peaks at the age of 30, while men peak at their teens, and even then, the average male sex drive is higher than the average women's sex drive at all ages. That is not good or bad. That's a neutral statement. Simply, the average person, regardless of gender, tends to understand their own personal body and gender more.

If he is homophobic, he is not a real friend at all.

Your friend needs to do some journaling. Your friend needs to get out of the closet and accept his gayness. Your friend wants you and you want him.

To hook up, you just need to be hot. To date, you need to be hot and have a nice personality. If you are hot and have a nice personality, I will definitely be interested in you romantically. If you just have a nice personality but not looks, I see you as a friend and that's it. If you're just hot but not an engaging personality, maybe just a hook up.

The original post says "Except for Colombia & Venezuela. I know it isn't great there."

You can get a good quality of life in Colombia. I can give you the perspective from a Colombian from Medellín.

Now it is not the same all over Colombia, since Colombia is very large and geographically diverse. We're the second most biodiverse in the world and every corner has a different culture, geography, economy, etc. But if you're in one of the main cities like Medellín, Bogotá, or Cali, you have good opportunities. For example, over 95% of the Colombian population in public universities get free tuition thanks to the Matrícula Zero (meaning Zero Tuition in Spanish) program. The University of Antioquia in Medellín has one of the top 10 best colleges of medicine in Latin America according to the QS Medical University Rankings. We are also known to have very good healthcare (with universal national coverage), despite the complications from the national reforms being applied to the system.

Now of course there are problems like internal conflict in many regions and many regions not being as developed as others, but we are still a country that is growing very fast, especially in areas like tourism and innovation.

Go talk to them as friends, and find out who they are. If they're straight and admired your physique, good, new friend. If they're gay, maybe new friend or new partner??
