The Most Beautiful Girls in the World

By

I don’t get asked my opinion very often, but there are exceptions. Living as I do in Medellin, I get questions like this from time to time: “They say that the women in Medellin are the most beautiful in the world. Is that true?” I got a variant of that question just last week, sitting at a table next to the park, having a beer with a couple of friends. One of them asked me about Cali (Colombia). Were the girls there even prettier than in Medellin? I gave him a short, but totally accurate answer: “I don’t know.”

Another accurate answer would have been “How in the name of George Kingfish Stevens can anybody say with any accuracy that city A has prettier women than city B?” Assuming, just for a second, that there was some objective standard of beauty that everyone could agree upon, how could anybody measure the attractiveness of the entire female population of any city? Even if you narrow it down to females between 18 and 35, that’s still a staggering number.

Here in Medellin, once again assuming there was a universal standard of beauty, you would come to very different conclusions depending on what part of the city you were in. Sitting in an upscale restaurant in Poblado or Laureles will give you a very different conclusion than taking a stroll under the Prado metro station. Just like taking a walk down Rodeo Drive or Fifth Avenue in New York will give you a skewed picture, you can do the same thing in most any city.

Having said all that, I feel I should say that outside of the obvious bad areas here in Medellin, it’s hard to walk for even a few minutes without passing at least one very pretty female. I don’t live in the richest part of the city, or the poorest, but if I want to girl watch, I never have to wait long to enjoy the sight of more than a few ladies I would be happy to get to know better. The same might be true in a lot of places, even a shopping mall in my old home town.

The main difference is that here, unlike my old home town, there are more than a few lovely ladies who are quite happy to get to know ME better.

It’s that bulge in my pants… my wallet.

Volleyball a la Playa

I do love tall, athletic women. Put them on a volleyball court on the beach in bikinis, give them a ball and enjoy the action.

Backstage with IntimaSecret

Backstage at an Intima Secret photo shoot. I’m retired, but I could be persuaded to come out of retirement for a photographer’s job like that.

700 Friends but No Customers

I’m not talking about myself, here. And I’m not talking about REAL friends. Talking about Facebook and local chicas who are trying to earn a living renting out their affections. I have dozens of such friends here in town that I have never met in person. If you use Facebook, you can probably find me and take a look through my ‘friends.’ I still have a few chicas I actually HAVE met who live in Costa Rica, but the large majority of my FB friends at the moment are from here in Medellin.

I have gotten, and still get, friend requests from local ladies. Virtually all of them are much more attractive than I am. If you would see us together in the street, the obvious conclusion would be that she was a working girl, and you would be right, though I generally prefer more private settings than walking down the boulevard hand in hand with someone 1/3 my age. But you get the idea.

Getting back to FB girls on my friends list, there are virtually none that I wouldn’t do for free, though attractiveness does vary quite a bit. At the bottom end of the spectrum are some girls who got the idea from a friend who had some success and thought to herself, why not me? I have one who has sent me a few messages and offered to come see me for a very reasonable price. She seems quite nice but just doesn’t ‘turn me on’ as the saying goes. At the other end of the scale are some absolutely stunning girls. There is one in particular that posts often with the phrase ‘citas disponible,’ or, in English, appointments available. This particular girl has a very lovely body and a pretty face, if not totally stunning. In any case, I decided to ask what she charged for an hour. Her ‘tarifa’ was about twice what similar local girls charge who confine themselves to local websites, and three times what the girls in the local ‘casas’ are charging. Apparently it pays to advertise.

But it brings to mind another chica who uses facebook and always posts very sexy pictures of herself, and always gets a lot of compliments, likes, and suggestive remarks. Unlike the aforementioned girl, her prices are quite reasonable, but she’s a bit on the ‘curvy’ side. The thing is, she has over 700 friends and quite a few more followers. But for all that, she still posts frequently that she has appointments available.

I guess my point, such as it is, is that even if you see a post by some hot chica on FB with a bunch of responses, all telling her how hot and beautiful she is, she still has time for YOU. Isn’t that nice?
