  1. Love the way the reporter went out of his way to over enunciate the various names of Colombian cities, a practice that SNL rightfully made fun of years ago in a skit with Jimmy Smits.

  2. Because western women are so bad, men need to go to other countries as they realize how much better the foreign women are.
    Offcurse western women emphasize with the foreign killers rather then their own men who were killed, which is the exact reason men left the West in the 1st place.

    I was in Medellin, Cataegner, and Baraquilla in 2021. Colombia 🇨🇴 is a dangerous place to visit. I am glad that I made it out alive. Be warned, you are not safe whether you know the person. Colombia 🇨🇴 and those three cities mentioned in the news are wrong; they are bad places and the most tourist areas to visit.

  4. I don't understand why people are hating on online dating. I found my current gf there and it's going good so far. And yes, I have had several relationships before using them. It's more of a question of using your head. Going to LEDC an using a dating app there isn't that safe, especially in Colombia where the crime rates are high.

  5. Dating apps are a breeding ground for criminals in America just as much as it is in Colombia. Catfish use it as the ultimate tool to rob innocent Americans of their money. The government needs to crack down on cyber terrorists and lot harder.

  6. First of all, you're in Colombia 🇨🇴 one of the worst places to go on vacation and home of notorious Pablo Escobar. Nothing has changed in places like this except the year.

  7. This has become a "State Department Travel Advisory-level" problem? FFS, dating apps and the associated scams came from the US, along with the internet; we should be a lot less chumpy about this stuff collectively. I get people falling for scams involving deepfaked images, recordings, or signal spoofing but this type of scam is at least as old as landline telephones (the rotary dial ones).

  8. Dang PassPort Bros rather risk life and limb, just to not be “stuck” and have to “settle” with American women.
    PPBs would rather settle down with Jesus, than an whopper, Big Mac, nacho supreme scarfing, 350lbs is considered “thick” American woman.

  9. Blackpill has gotten another victim. Dude probably wasn't having success in the states, so he traveled to a foreign country where he though he could impress women with his american citizenship.. tough scenes
