It is official, will never touch a white american woman again. My trip to Cartagena has convinecd me that women here in the US have lost all sense of reality I have had it with the cold, *****y, superficial, stuck up attitude. A lot of american women hold themselves as the pinnacle and beacon in the relationship. If the men don't fit a rigid and unrealistic physical criteria or she doesn't feel the man can take care of her enough (even if she makes more money) then she will drop him like a hot potato, regardless of his character or commitment to the relationship. It has happened to me more times than I care to recall.

Upon my first week in Cartagena, I was talking with and spending long periods of time with some of the most eye-popping , jaw dropping beautiful women, and I wasnt spending much in cash nor was I expected to. THe fact I was there and treating them with respect and letting my humor run the show and keep them laughing kept me in great company for hours and in a few instances days. I found the people of Cartagena to be warm and receptive to me and for the exception of some overly aggressive beach vendors, I was treated just shy of celebrity status. There were more people who wanted to get to know me as a person and discover my culture and my life than I have ever encountered here in the US.

Women were actually very easy to approach or be introduced to and there was no game playing, either they showed you they were interested through body language or they did not, it was that obvious. The city was a spectacular sight for me - a self professed history geek - and experiencing another culture was an eye opening experience.

Until you have nothing but the basics in life to get by on as most women there did, you do not understand the true value of what is important in life. As stated in another posting Mark Turner and myself will be doing a lot of business together in the near future.

Pra, please give all trip reports from Colombia in the Trip Report Forum. Since your report is so short, I will let it stay in this forum.

*All Colombian trip reports go in the: The Trip Report Forum

ok this was my trip report, apparently it has been written in the wrong area, sorry. Not used to writing much other than legal reports for work so I am not sure what people want to know.
