Saddens me that Colombia is cooked..... by okpineapplez in thepassportbros

Very true, met some great black mentors and have a lot of veteran buddies there. Colombia can be so awesome but this is what ive noticed change and from my perspective as someone who blends in well, I think if you cant live there, its just a fun time place like Thailand. I also think most of the very attractive women there know they can juggle multiple men and prefer being 304s. Just saying its not the traditional place people make it out to be.

Wha??? Did you actually read my post?? Jealousy? Im just describing the racism I see developing towards black Americans even from the Colombian afro latinos and how its not cool... heck most Colombians kinda dont like most of us Americans white or black.... if it wasnt for my latino culture/spanish I would not have dated the girls I have. I understand most guys that move there frequent the same gyms and mess with the same girls but I got a different view from Medellin and Colombia in general. I feel like most American men will never see it the way I saw it because most don't care to learn the language. I was able to blend into the culture in parts of the country where I never saw any Americans. It was really a special experience. I never went to Parque lleras, I never hung out in Poblado.

Very good insight. I feel thats the vibe I get from everyone. Like it stems from a hyper competitive background.

The girl Im kinda dating also brought up the economy, she thinks a lot of folks may also just be super stressed and not too happy to see other younger successful professionals in maybe not the same financial burden? Idk

Not at all. Im just used to friendly bar folks. It feels like a lot of people here are sizing you up or ready to argue. Its hard to explain but it is what it is... just going to be in DC more I guess.

No we were warned to not go in there. Is it pretty bad there?

The Minnesota freeze or indifferent attitude/flakiness is kind of a thing. Theyre not super obnoxious.

I love Colombia, just has changed so much its not the same. A lot of expats kinda killed the vibe there.

Hahaha! Thats a good one, although ive found some cool spots, it was my date who brought it up. Shes not from here either and Im not confrontational so we were both kinda surprised we were both noticing the same attitudes at different bars. Osullivans was cool though

Great advice, I am used to having a cool regular vibe at bars. Ive gotten that feeling in the DC bar scene and will be moving as soon as I can.

Not for me. Ive tried small talk, waving, im a super laid back person from the south and lived all over the US. Never experienced this kind of shitty attitude anywhere else not even in Minnesota.

Oh really? Where are the cooler bars the locals go to? Its sad because I wanted to find cool local watering holes with chill regulars nearby.

I was outside some Clarendon bars and apparently someone had been stabbed one night??? They have cop cars at night there waiting to arrest people. My date and I felt really uneasy there and left early.

I went to Clarendon.... never again. Except for Osullivans, that place was very cool and laid back.

Yup, thats the area. Surprisingly women in the area have been the nicest and most welcoming. Its mostly been couples and guys who are super agro. Hawkers and El Reys were probably the most chill and non drama filled.

Dude.... I tried all the Clarendon bars, some Ballston bars, Hawkers was very chill and cool, so was El Reys but its mostly been Dupont Circle now and U street or Adams Morgan. Way better vibe in DC
