I've been chatting to a girl from Colombia via teh internets. She seems very clever and honest about both the good and bad of the country, however I would like a wesern perspective on it.

In short, tell me what you know/opinons/anecdotes about Colombia etc.

Bad: crime, political instability, poverty.
Good: pretty socially progressive, some decent cities (Medellin seems the nicest to me).

Personally, I'd rather go to Chile, Argentina, or Brazil if I were going to South America, but if Colombia is where you want to go, then do it.

Yay, she's from Medellin.

I have no intention of going to SA at all, at least not for a few years. I was just curious about the country she lives in.

Crime is always a problem, but the government has made great progress recently on it. Columbia is better off then most countries despite the lack of oil wealth. Still dirty though.

Hmm seems to be true - within the last couple of months of talking to her the girl has had her mobile phone stolen off her at around 6am and both her father and friend have been mugged on seperate occasions.

rofl, she's really familiar with all the stereotypes.

She says that violence against women within families/relationships is too commonplace, how true is this?

I assume you meant western. In that case, you can't really get much more western than Colombia now, can you?

Yes, you could go to Hawaii.

OP here. More news just in for any who care - the girl's sister has been drugged and had 2 months wages stolen from her in a bank.

Damn, just how crime infested is this place?

South America and in particular Colombia are seen as the last true strongholds of Catholicism as it was preached during the colonial era. You will find that there is little diversity in social issues among Colombians whether they identify themselves as religious or not. There may be generational differences (why wouldn't there?), but Colombia's tradition of a tight family social life allows all things to trickle down.

Crime in Colombia has actually gotten better. So take that as a measure of how bad it is.

Why don't you come to beautiful Venezuela? 10000+ *reported* deaths a year due to crime, and a very high chance you will get tailed and kidnapped or killed right as you leave the international airport. Enjoy our scenic socialist decay.

In other words, we make Colombia look good.

I've heard that Cali and Medellin are some of the best places in the Western Hemisphere to whoremonger.

You do realize that you've proved nothing? What with Colombia having no data and all? Though if the trend in the rest of South America holds, it would still be the majority who find religion important.

Columbian women are ridiculously hot. They export their women to Central American tourist cities to be whores

Although you are probably talking to a fatty or a man

Most of 'em have had shittons of plastic surgery, though.

If that doesn't bother you, though, enjoy.

Get this, I knew a guy in the Army that lived in Colombia after his deployment. He took all his deployment monies, left the Army, and spent two years doing nothing but snorting coke and buying prozaics in some little villa outside Bogota.

He said he really liked it there, nobody fucked with him or his wife, the Club-scene was awesome, and the Crime and rebel problems is way dramatised.

Said so long as you don't venture into the jungle and out in the rural areas, or go into the slums and shanty towns inside the cities, your fine. Its not nearly as dangerous as some people might make it seem, even for a pasty white dude with an equally gringo girlfriend.

Eh, you decide. I think she's ok, although I admit there are a few bad photos of her too.

As a fellow Colombian, I approve.

Have fun, OP.

OP, here is the truth.

Do not fucking cross oceans for some dumb bitch online. That one looks ripe for impregnation, and since most latin american women don't suck cock or take anal, you will likely impregnate her. That "cute" face today will disgust you in about 3 years, as your new MIL basically controls your life from behind the scenes.

You have been warned.

Whoa calm down, I'm no idiot. I hardly trust people I've known for years, let alone someone I've never met, and I'm certainly not going to go travelling 4000 miles for her either. Plus I'm not particularly interested in or expect sex from her anyway, maybe I'm just a fag.
