How Does Colombia’s Crime Impact the Dating Scene?

For most people who think of Colombia, they tend to think of drugs and violence. For others, they might think of the sexy women and dating scene here. But how does Colombia’s crime impact the dating scene?

While now in Colombia things are more stable than what they were some decades ago

The overall violence and insecurity in the country has generally speaking impacted the women to some degree

And possibly in ways that I don’t even understand completely because I’m not a Colombian woman and I don’t study how the violence has impacted them in a professional way

However, I have noticed a very obvious way in which the violence has impacted the woman here

And it’s something you would see also in other countries like Mexico for example

Which is that as the country is more violent, the more cautious the women are going to be obviously

Especially when it comes to going out with new people on dates

That isn’t to say that the average Colombian women is super paranoid that something is going to happen and will absolutely reject going out on dates

Or something crazy like that

Just that Colombian women are going to take more precautions and assume more things in order to be safe

Even with the younger Colombian women this is the case

Since even though Pablo Escobar and his men died in a shootout as described in this great documentary on Youtube

Or in even better detail in a great book called Killing Pablo that I recommend

You still do have instability and corruption in the country

With plenty of scammers and other criminals running out causing instability

For a quick funny story….

colombia's crime impact the dating

One time I was using Tinder in Colombia about 4 or 5 years ago

I matched with a chick who was cute and I sent her the usual message asking for her Whatsapp number

We exchange numbers and get talking on Whatsapp

However, she told me that my Spanish was so good that she doesn’t believe that I am a foreigner from the US

Because, in her words, “Americans don’t speak any Spanish.”

Now, aside from the fact that this kind of statement usually annoys me…

In part because I find a lot of Colombians to be ignorant about the US and what Americans are like

I found it odd that she was looking this deeply into my Spanish to somehow convince herself that I must be Colombian

Or, as she put it, “possibly some Venezuelan guy”

Which sort of illustrates how some Colombians view Venezuelans with great distrust as being criminals and other bad things

Especially as more and more Venezuelans enter Colombia to escape their country

But that’s a different story as I explained in another article on this website

In the end, she refused to go out on a date with me in part because she assumed I was a Colombian or Venezuelan trying to trick her into showing up somewhere

Where then theoretically I would kidnap her or something

Because how could any American speak Spanish ever? That doesn’t happen right?

Right?

….Despite the US now having more Spanish speakers than any other country in the world except for Mexico

But that’s another story

Anyway, this isn’t actually the first time a Colombian chick assumed I must be Colombian for my Spanish over Whatsapp

Unfortunately, I wasn’t quick enough to prove that I was American to the chick in this story because she just blocked me right away before I could do anything

And I was just mostly finding it funny the assumptions she was making about me

Otherwise I would have spent the time quickly to send her a photo or maybe a voice message so she could hear my accent

Regardless, this type of incident is very rare.  Happened maybe once a year while I was using Tinder back then

But it does show something about how cautious Colombian women can be and how they sometimes look into the details to look for any red flags

How About Going Out At Night?

Additionally, you are going to find that the women are a bit cautious also when it comes to going out at night.

In part because they are scared something could happen or they could be kidnapped or killed

It’ll also happen for some chicks to bring their friend along “just to be safe” even if they didn’t tell you ahead of time someone else was coming to the date

Furthermore, if she does agree to go out at night with you, it’s not uncommon either for her to insist that you both go in thesame taxi

Because the taxi driver is someone unknown who could be a threat

Perhaps he will take her somewhere and try to rape her or whatever else

Which does happen occasionally where women in Colombia can be taken by a taxi driver and raped and killed somewhere

It’s not just because she wants you to cover the taxi cost

She also wants the extra security of having a man there to protect her if something bad happens

All of which illustrates how Colombia’s crime impact the dating scene here

Finally, it is also important to mention that girls in some parts of Colombia are going to be more open to going out at night then in other parts.

For example, in Bogota, the women are much more open to this than in the rest of the country

Same for Medellin and Cartagena

Otherwise, in the rest of the country, women are going to be more cautious because of the insecurity that happens

And also because some of them just live with their parents still and the parents will insist that they can’t leave at night

Which is much more common for Colombian women who live in smaller cities like Popayán

So what should you do if you want to take a Colombian woman out at night for some fun?

Well, first spending time in a city like Bogota would be better because women are a little more trustful and willing in placeslike that

On top of that, of course you got a decent amount of women who are alright with leaving at night with some new guy for the first date

Just that quite a few women on the other hand won’t do that

And for those women who are more cautious, you are going to want them to get to know you more first

So that way they feel comfortable

Which could mean sharing a lot on Whatsapp by sharing photos, doing video calls and sending voice messages

It also means that going out at night will be a lot easier on a later date like the 2nd or 3rd date

Which isn’t bad – just a little more waiting to go out at night

Essentially, the more comfortable she feels with you, the better your chances of going out at night.
