This is a sensitive topic, admitted. Im trying to objective, but its really just my opinion based on a very small sampling of Colombian women!!!!!!

Of course and thanks for your observations.

Just spent 5 days in Cali, and the comparison between the two cities helped my structure my thoughts about Medellin.

Medellin, in the popular areas, is nowhere near as friendly as Cali.   But, when you move out to the places that do not have 50 hostels, and gringo gulch, it becomes more friendly.   The weather and landscape of Medellin is beautiful and fresh.   Cali has some great malls, and areas that are on par with the nice locations in Medellin, but they are smaller.  the number of sophisticated / educated people are less in Cali too.   

There are some pretty girls in Cali - absolutely.  But, nowhere near the % of VERY attractive women in Medellin. 

I feel a little safer in Cali.  The tough guys are much more open and tolerant of visitors here.  In Medellin, it is best to keep a lower profile and not mix.    This is a violent country, and [snip] happens all the time ... it is best to at least know when you are taking risks, and at other times hedge against it. 

It is hard not to love Cali.  It has a great vibe. The place is amazing for the ego.  It is fun and exciting.   But, Medellin still seems to be two notches above to me.

Meeting women gets easier and easier for me as my language skills

Our first day together we went to the beach and she wore a long sleeve tee over her bikini so she wouldn't "darken". She insisted throughout the day there was no Negro blood in her family.

There are two possibilities. One: she had black blood and didn´t want to admit it (though I can´t imagine why this would be a topic of conversation between you two). Two: she was of wayuú (Indian) origen and it was true. The wayuú Indians are really dark skinned. If their head was hidden in a photograph you´d you´d be hard pressed to say which they were. Both possibilities are equally plausable in Cartagena. You can´t always use facial features to distinguish between African origin and Indian origin. At least I can´t but hair is almost always a dead give away. If it is long and straight and black and you don´t think it´s been ironed then small chance there´s any African influence. If she has really Indian features and figure like my girlfriend but has curly hair there is African influence in her mix.

hahaha, I didn't know that. You just iced the cake, she definitely had the long black curly hair. I remember on our "dress up date" she spent about an hour with a hand held wand that ironed her hair straight. She looked stunning with straight hair......but she was stunning, period.
