What's the truth about CDMX?
I've heard everything from Mad Max to cosmopolitan paradise. Is it safe? what are the women like? Food? Museums?
>Museums?
Anthropology museum is top notch, the other ones not so great.
Over all it's a nice city, as close to an American city as you will find in Latin America.
Thank you. Which district should I get a hotel in?
Polanco if you can afford it.
Polanco is boring. I would go with Condesa or Roma Norte. If you prefer more of a small-town feel go with Coyoacan.
Coyoacan also has some worhtwhile museums. Most poeple go tot he blue house but they neglect the other house, which is also interesting. There's alsot the mummies around there and the intervention museum and the Trotsky house.
You should take the short trip out of the city to see the pyramids and the museum there.
It's hard to find public markets these days in Latin America but CDMX still has a bunch of them. I like Mercado Medellín, Mercado Jamaíca (has lots of flowers) and the one in Coyoacan.
Lots of pickpockets in the subway (or buses) btw. That's the main thing you have to watch out for.
Boring because you can't afford it? You act like you can't get around on a fucking uber lol.
Latin American cities tend to have awful traffic. There's value in being in a neighborhood that's walkable/close to what you like.
It's not ok to be poor and call things "boring" because you can't afford the fun things in a neighborhood. Let's grow up now. Call it ritzy, call it out of your league, calling it boring is outing yourself as someone who just can't afford it.
Not that guy, but I agree with him that Roma Norte and Condesa are more interesting/fun than Polanco, particularly when it comes to nightlife. Nightlife in Polanco is mostly huge dance clubs, which bore me. Better diversity of bars and smaller nightspots elsewhere in CDMX. Polanco is great for housing and high-end retail, but Condesa’s much cooler.
If you get excited by garden gnomes then yes Polanco is the center of the gnomish community in Mexico and very exciting
>awful traffic
Bro I'm from Jersey lol
>what are the women like?
I was only there to see a soccer game but I saw some of the plumpest bubble asses I ever seen in my life, only issue is the faces lower points cuz some of them are ugly asf and dress bad
The people in general were kinda short though and plenty of fridge bodies too
>I was only there to see a soccer game but I saw some of the plumpest bubble asses I ever seen in my life
Colombia is like this too, except the girls have pretty faces. They specialize in rail-thin, skinny teens with fat asses.
Too bad the place is a dangerous, scammy shithole.
>Colombia
>pretty faces
why do i keep browsing this monkey obsessed chud-fucking board
jesus fuck could you all please have a nice day and take your chuds and male faced women with you
If you've never been and all you've seen is the disgusting whores that appear on places linked on ISG, then yeah, you would think that.
The only women desperate enough to resort to a direct exchange of money for sex in a socially conservative country like Colombia are the very poor and the ones who were too ugly to land a Colombian with money.
Colombia and Medellin especially are renowned for their pretty girls. It's why millions of men visit every year, in spite of the fact that it's a dangerous place and half the people are out to scam you in one way or another.
>It's why millions of men visit every year
Then men go for the big asses. THat's all there is to it. That's why the city has become very popular with African Americans
You can always tell when a poster on this board is an incel who's never traveled. Your opinion is neither wanted nor needed.
Just admit you like big asses. There's nothing wrong with having your face snuffed out by a huge ass.
Why are you butthurt just because nobody likes Polanco? If you actually had money you would be living it up in NYC and not a third world country, so don't act like a fag.
For me it's the best city in the Americas. The furthest north in the continent you can go and get a city with soul anyway
Most of the city's museums are concentrated in the historic zone (Centro Historico), Chapultepec Park, Ciudad Universitaria and Coyoacan - San Angel, in any street and squares of the historic zone are the museums, in Chapultepec there are in its two main sections (I and II section) and in Coyoacan from Plaza de la Conchita to San Angel, along Francisco Sosa avenue.
I highlight the National Museum of Interventions, the El Carmen Museum, the Cuicuilco Site Museum, the Diego Rivera-Anahuacalli Museum and the San Carlos National Museum.
Regarding security, I recommend you to be careful in the neighborhoods of Zona Rosa, Alameda Central, Anahuac, much more careful in the center of Xochimilco and avoid Tacubaya.
The city is divided into 16 municipalities, the safest are in the western part of the city, especially Benito Juarez and Cuajimalpa, while the most insecure part is the eastern part, especially Tlahuac, Iztapalapa and Iztacalco.
>what are the women like
Easy, just be white
Are they like western women where they get offended if you compliment them or can I expect to bring her back to my hotel after a conversation
>can I expect to bring her back to my hotel after a conversation
No, it's not the Philippines. I generally succeed in getting a kiss on the first date in the US, but with Latinas they'll hold off until at least the second date.
You have to understand that they're taught to pay lip service to their conservative culture, even if the women are still easy. If they really like you, you might be able to fuck the night of your second date. But the girls have standards. If you can't get laid in the US, you probably can't in Mexico either. Especially not with the language barrier. JBW bumps you up 1.5 points, the rest is up to you.
Not him.
The advantage you have in mexico/latam is people are much less socially judgmental towards men with significantly younger girlfriends or men who are ugly/fat/hairy with hot attractive women.
>men with significantly younger girlfriends or men who are ugly/fat/hairy with hot attractive women.
That's the power of dinero baby. We should be seeing the same happen in the US in 20 years as it degenerates into Brazil 2.0. We are witnessing the creation of a brown underclass and a white-ish upper class before our very eyes.
All that feminist bullshit will go out the door when young single women can no longer make ends meet by themselves. That's the advantage of extreme income inequality, assuming you end up on the right side of the tracks.
Thanks bro. I was planning to netflix and chill while I am there on vacation but it looks like I need to put in a little more work than expected. Last resort, I get an escort
>I've heard everything from Mad Max to cosmopolitan paradise. Is it safe?
Closer to the latter than the former IMO. It’s much safer than it used to be, and has always been at least somewhat safer than its reputation—horror stories about kidnapper taxi drivers, etc., are inspired by truth but very rare (and kidnapping for cash is much more commonly a threat to rich locals than to tourists). Risks of pickpockets on the metro are moderately high, risks of muggings in dark alleys maybe a little higher than where you live, but both are easily avoided with common sense. The nicer parts of the city are well-lit, carefully policed, and as safe as any other large metropolis.
>what are the women like?
There are roughly ten million of them, so I think you’ll see a wide range, from squat Indian grandmas from Chiapas to posh women nearly indistinguishable from ones you might meet in NYC or London or Paris. The Roma and Condesa neighborhoods are good places to meet upper-class locals. But they aren’t going to be easy to impress, because half of them are richer than you are.
>Food?
It’s very good, particularly if you like Mexican. Find an expensive modern Mexican place that does wine pairings with Mexican wine if you can—I didn’t even know there were vineyards in MX but the good stuff is really good.
>Museums?
I liked the Templo Mayor archaeological site/museum—it’s really fascinating to see Spanish colonial history literally built on top of (and often from the same bricks as) the Aztec capital.
There’s some interest to be had in the Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky house museums, not far from one another in the Coyoacán district, which is also just nice for wandering around in.
FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL
>I WAS THERE FIRST AS A DIGITAL NOMAD REEEE
STFU. You are either a trendy fag or a Mexican. The arrogance of a mexican saying that is astounding. Our country is full of your fucking rejects. KYS.
Is that why you keep coming to the US?
Bump, seriously considering this trip but I only trust anonymous sighsee posters for travel advice.
Also keep an eye on your drinks! Getting roofied and robbed isn't nearly as likely to happen in Mexico as in Colombia, but it's not unheard of.
Lots of Mexicans
Where do the hot Mexicana bitches hang out in CDMX, and do greengos have access to them? Or are they all mostly morbidly obese goblinas
If they’re not willing to date a greengo, can you at least pay them?
I’m talking about bad bubble butt bitches who look like pic related or Janet Guzman
99% of mexican women are ugly
you just see these ridiculous hot top 1% women at completely random times, it's impossible to predict
