NO SHAME

Well it happens that this guy on his 40s who has a daughter is trying to go on a date with my girlfriend in Medellin who is in her early 20s. He even offered to pay for her education and to take care of all her expenses if she goes out with him. He is bothering my girlfriend a lot and she has told him countless times that she already has a boyfriend - ME - and also that she is not interested in dating such an old guy. He comes to talk to her grand mother about it all the time...

My question is how to solve this problem in the most pacific way? If it was my uncle's way who was a hitman for many years, this guy who has no respect at all would have been shot a long time ago. I don't want my uncle to solve this situation for me....

Gracias!

Just say NO He will get tired eventually, tell your girlfriend not to come to the phone when he calls, to have people say she's not in when he comes around, etc, and he will realise his efforts are useless, and go somewhere else.

Why not? Your uncle's solution sounds fine to me. Hell you can find someone to have the guy whacked in Colombia real cheap.

The thing I don't understand is why your novia has not taken care of this. My wife used to get harassed by guys all the time but never the same guy twice. She made it very clear to them that no meant NO!

Patience... The problem should solve itself no? All you have to do is be patient. If you're sure your girlfriend told him to get lost plenty of times, then you will just have wait till he gets the message. Patience is needed because for some of us men... it can take quite a long time.

And as you said: "I don't want my uncle to solve this situation for me...." Violence can solve things very easy, but dont use the option to solve things.

back in medellin.... when my neighbor stole my sony handicam, my brother in law said we'll have to whack em...

well i won't labor the story again...it's just the way things can get taken care of there.

follow GIB'S advise. get clear with her/getting clear with him. and if whacking interests you. buy the karma.

In my limited experience in Colombia, I have learned that Colombianas are very capable of handling themselves when needed. They can get their point across themselves if they WANT TO. The guy even talks to the grandmother and the grandmother doesn't get the point across? Maybe there isn't a point to get across????

I, like others, believe that she can probably handle this herself. If it takes a swift kick in the nuts to the bastard, then so be it. Of course, that would probably create other problems that would end up in somebody (or more than one person) getting whacked. Man, people are throwing that word around too easily on this thread.

But what the hell do I know? I never met your novia or the the guy.

If I were you I would let your GF handle her self. She needs to make sure he gets the point. I think someone is droping the ball, when it comes to giving this guy the point.

Hire the hitman.... Because it sounds like you are about to lose your girlfriend.

And we don't want to hear another guy crying about how he lost his girl to a forty something year old fart.

Jimmy, are you in Colombia too?

Some ass-whoopin can be effective yes... But dont forget you create more hate if you use violence. Ofcourse you can beat the &#%$ out of this dude and he will get the message faster. But think about the possibility of revenge? It could mean a serious safety decreasement for your girlfriend.
As i said before: If she tried hard enough to tell this dude that she's not available, then these things normally will solve themselves.

Soprano wannabe's You guys have been watching too much T.V. You act like there is some kind of honor to defend here. If we are going to stereotype about people getting "whacked" in Colombia, it's just as easy (or easier) to stereotype the "La Paisita interesada" You guys talk as if this is something strange. Some grandmothers practically sell there daughters/grandaughters to the highest bidder, and many of the girls go willingly to the "old fart".

Your girlfriend is probably gettin' boned by this "old fart" unless you are paying all her bills. Wise up, get used to it or move on. Fighting over hot women in Colombia is like fighting over ice in Alaska. As far as sicarios, typically people who use them end up victims of them.

All you other "wiseguys" chill out get a beer and try to get laid-much better than violence.

Gringoinbogota clearly is no old fart Hey Gringo the use of the term "old fart" was tongue in cheek and was a response to previous posters who used it. I don't know what the deal is but there is something about a guy going out with a younger girl that freaks some people out. Following I will describe several types who may be threatened by such a relationship:

1. A poor young guy who can't step up to the plate economically for his woman
2. A cheap young guy who thinks his looks and premature ejaculations will pay his woman's bills
3. A middle aged american feminazi woman-nothing scarier than this one- some of their comments might be:oh my God how disgusting, he's an old pervert, gross...on and on ad infinitum
4. A panty waste of a man-truly a woman masquerading as a man

In all of the aforementioned personas the connecting thread is CONTROL. 1,2,3 no longer have any and 4 likes to be controlled. I would like to address the #3 scenario-These woman can't stand the thought that a man might actually be able to exert some control over his life and find a young attractive woman who makes him happy. Nothing makes the domineering, demanding and controlling middle aged feminazis more angry than that!

I know that this is going to anger some in the audience, but there never seems to be the same angry response when someone belittles or degrades a man for simply dating a younger woman. And can you imagine some women actually PREFER an older more mature lover.

Back to Gringo- I will give you the drinking and fighting but never the women.

You're right, Itagui. Hell on the streets of Itagui you can probably get them 13 years old if you like them that young. People just hate to see a 73 year old gringo with a 13 year old. It makes them puke.

Clarification-women NOT girls My comments were directed towards men/women 18+.

It did not even dawn on me to mention that until Utopia so quickly brought up the topic of where to find 13 y/o girls. Utopia's post reminded me that there are true perverts in this world. And what should be unthinkable gets thought of by some VERY QUICKLY.

Hey, when I see any Colombiana with a gringo it makes me puke. I think all those gringos are perverts. Isn't that why they come to Colombia? To get what they can't get at home?

Utopia may I ask what nationality you are? I think if you go to a pharmacy you may be able to get something for that vomiting disorder. Because as I stated earlier you have NO CONTROL over the situation AKA POWERLESS(except to address your pukin'). Maybe you need a younger woman? have you been victimized by these "viejo verde gringo perverts" have they stole your woman? Why all the hostility? Are you a WOMAN? are you truly utopiacowGIRL? HMMMMMMMM....inquiring minds want to know...

As far as "gringo perverts" go I guess there are alot of them if your definition is an older guy hooking up with a younger woman(18+)I specify age because you seem to get easily confused with the adjectives young/younger/jovencita. BTW- would older colombian or european guys going with a younger woman(18+ to avoid losing you)be "colombian or european perverts" or is it a "Gringo" thing?

As far as not being able to get it at home, that is most likely a true statement, so these adventurous souls go to where they can find love/romance as THEY (not you or others) define it.

Deal gringo! "Best part is in Colombia we can have all this wide open fun and not go to prison!! JAJA"

Sounds like heaven to me. Here in Holland its nuts... a pain in the ass. You get fined if they catch you taking a leak on the streets. I thought i always was helping out the poor trees... but no, you still get a nice 50 euro fine. Its not even allowed to drink on the streets. Huge fine if they catch your ass on the streets with a beer in your hand. Luckily people always outsmart the cops. Now people pour the beer in a coca cola can, and take it outside.

My last woman, Ramera, was 17. Do you think I need a younger one? I'm 73 years old. I am victimized by those damm gringos with the Benjamins pasted to their foreheads. And those damm blue passports they like to wave. Oh well, they all have small dicks so that is some consolation.

$25 Thank you guys for all your messages!!

Well I decided to break up with my girlfriend last night - She is also my cousin by the way. I was considering the idea for some time now. I spoke with her last night and she told me that she was unable to completely put off a guy that likes her - that to me represents a serious lack of character.

We love each other but breaking up is the best option for now. I think she needs to be tested in the time to come to see if her love is genuine or not. I will be moving to Colombia at the end of next year from Canada. No rush for the moment....

PS: F.Y.I. Lauthra, you can have someone gunned down in Colombia for as little as $25US...
