I've been in Cartagena for 3 days, and my Tinder is going crazy. Bumble too. I've never seen anything like this in any other city in Colombia.
And mind you, I'm Colombian myself. It's as if this city is purely focused on sex. I'm matching with a lot of women as if I were a foreigner. There are many women from other countries here who come seeking sex, and it's evident.
I've been analyzing the behavior of these dating apps in various cities in Colombia and Mexico. I don't go out with many women, but I like to have the app to observe the behavior.
In Bogotá, it's normal. I do well, but it's not exaggerated. The women on Bumble in Bogotá have a lot of class and sophistication.
Last week, I went out with the daughter of an insurance company owner. She seemed to me the classiest and most sophisticated woman I've dated. Sometimes, dating less affluent women in Colombia can be challenging because they have a lot of ego. On the other hand, dating women from the Colombian upper class is a unique experience worth repeating.
In Mexico, it was crazy because I put in my bio that I was Colombian, and I matched with so many women. One particular thing I noticed is that women in Mexico are often overweight. It's quite noticeable. That was my experience. Being a foreigner in general generates attraction among Latin women, regardless of whether one is also Latin but from a different country.
In Cartagena, I seemed to see a lot of foreign women in their 40s or 50s looking for sex. I saw it with my own eyes. This city is not only about prostitution but people come here seeking sex. It's a reality. I also seemed to see a lot of poverty in the profiles on Bumble and Tinder.
