On the street I often also opened by asking すみません、英語できる？ in Japanese. As impractical as the street can be, foreigners do have a bit of an advantage, as often you may be giveen the benefit of the doubt that you're just a foreign tourist who needs help. That doesn't mean you won't also get ignored often, but if I were Asian/Japanese-looking, I'm sure I would have been blown out much more frequently.

I always just ask in english "do you speak english?"

Sometimes girls actually do speak english, which makes it easier for me. I'm trying to play by my turf as much as possible, but you can also do it that way also.

I recommend if it's the street might as well go for it all, I also got a ton of numbers and a ton of flakes from street game.

Right now i'm just experimenting with street game for the fun of it (but i'm also seriously trying to get laid at the same time)

I'm thinking of just not even taking a number (if its street)
Also thinking of just not even telling her my name, age, country, and job.
These questions I get asked a lot, but maybe just withholding it and saying something like "I'll tell you about it , how about over there at starbucks."

Also I have met foreign guys who do get laid from street game , so I know it is at least possible otherwise I wouldn't even bother with it and just focus on stores and shopping malls.

Since I'm trying to improve my language skills, I prefer to speak as much Japanese as possible, I personally just prefer to speak the language of the country I'm in. Usually I'll just speak a bit of English to play with them. Sometimes, the girl will be sort of an Anglophile and insist on speaking English, to which I don't object.

Experienced my first hard flake in Kyoto... Girl who opened me at a school festival. I teased her about thinking all foreigners look alike and got a lot of good kino in. She was hanging on me and grabbing my forearms, so I thought it was a lock, but she never showed up for our date. I'm not going to bother texting her. Her face was was in the 7 range, so I'm not too broken up about it, but that ass....

On the whole it seems like Kyoto-ites are a little bit less flaky. More later.

"Come to think of it, I've probably seen at least as many Japanese guys approaching girls here in Osaka as I've done approaches myself. I can count maybe two or three times I've witnessed the guy approach and not get ignored immediately. You were right about the street being the absolute worst place to approach in Japan, though sometimes the tempation can be strong. Not impossible (my last notch was from the street, afterall) but nevertheless extremely impractical."

My gaijin buddy here does street only and lays an average of 3-7 new girls a month. Just sayin'.

I believe you, but is this the norm for your Gaijin friends? Do you pull those kinds numbers from the street (not a rhetorical question)? What types of street approaches is this guy doing? Does he spend all day approaching or are these just casual encounters he happens to make on his way to work? What's he look like, fitness-, style, and face-wise? What types of areas is he doing this in?

I'm sure it can be done. Still, based on what other posters have said on this thread and my own observations, it still appears to be an impractical route to take. If he's found a way to make this work for him, that's great, but I'd like to hear more.

Post: #356

Guys, one of the big secrets to street game is to approach in the areas where it's NOT usual for guys to be approaching women. If you're sarging in Nampa central, women's defense shields will be up. Key is serendipity. You just met. IME, girls dont like to say they met a guy through nampa so you want it to seem natural even though you may have the entire area mapped out with love hotels, karaoke rooms and other f locations and know the high traffic times of the nearby subway station.

ALWAYS dress good and approach anywhere and everywhere. Make it a part of who you are.

Post: #357

Sargon, as I said I'm more of a night game guy so I can't compare myself with him.

He does directional openers in one of the most Nampa-ish areas. Guy is huge (but Asian girls aren't supposed to like this heh) and does ultra indirect game. Almost no Japanese skills whatsoever.

Anyway, my point is that there are plenty of foreigners out there getting results. Just want to balance out the negative picture others might be getting.

It's a known fact that white and black men have it good with Japanese women. That place is awesome and so are its women.

This is good. I understand this thread can give people a false impression if they haven't been here, and that simply because I've been having a hard time doesn't mean everyone will.

Quote:He does directional openers in one of the most Nampa-ish areas. Guy is huge (but Asian girls aren't supposed to like this heh) and does ultra indirect game. Almost no Japanese skills whatsoever.

Minus the "no Japanese skills whatsoever", this sounds pretty much like half of the street approaches I've done here.

By "huge", I assume you mean "built" and not "fat" (maybe I'm wrong, but I don't remember it being said here that Asians were turned off by bulky guys).

Considering that he doesn't speak Japanese and goes to Nampa areas to pick up girls, what is it about this guy that can enable him to get 3-7 new girls a month? That's like 60-70 women a year.

Again, does this guy spend all day approaching or something? Does he go for SDLs each time? What kind of quality is he pulling?

Post: #362

Tochigi, I got shafted with a crap apartment and the people were playing 'shy', the other foreigners were heavily PC, so I found myself walking around lonely all the time. It's out in the country-side. Sucked balls. They were only paying 2400 at the time for teachers, which in Japan, isn't much. I think I had ramon noodles and that strange Penut butter sandwhiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I honestly don't know who can afford to live in Japan with the prices of everything being so high. That was just nearing the end of the English boom in Japan, I think GEOs or NOVA folded just after I left. Japan is pretty western but in retrospect, I don't think I'd do it again. The women there are borderline arrogant... I don't know how 'shy' they really are or if 90% of that is a put on. Try as I might, I could not get a girl to give me her phone number or anything. Most just ran away, the opposite to China where they won't leave you alone.

The Brazillian b1tches where I was were all pahtricinyas so that was out to... I had just come from Brazil so the change in culture was really shocking, most unfriendly people on Earth. The Chinese might be Evil but at least they'll pretend to be your friend, the Japanese will just face palm you. Would stick to the lesser of the two Evils and go back to Korea.

Indeed. In this case I would put whites as being a bit more successful, the issue with black guys belongs to a certain niche of women called "burako", black, in "engrish", aha. They have a certain liking to the hip hop scene I believe. But plenty of gaijin groupies out there, that's for sure.

This is interesting, I have heard absolutely opposite things about the japanese and japanese women, maybe because it was a smaller town? I would need to live there to make conclusive decisions, and even then I do not know, but the general outlook I've seen about JP is quite positive.

I'm not sure if there is some book about sociology that helps you understand these things, I guess the best insight regarding japanese women, in print, must be Yellow Cabs, Black Passenger, by that jamaican guy.

Doesn't sound like it.

Anyone who's ever lived here will tell you that this notion of Japan being "easy" for guys as long as they're White/Black is mostly BS.

Post: #367

Sargon,

Ive been reading your struggle and I feel for you man. Its giving back time to the board and hopefully this will serve you well.

Ive been living in Kyoto since November, with an LTR. So my experiences are a little different. You know how they say to challenge yourself is the best way to grow? well, Ive been challenging myself to NOT cheat. Man, its difficult. SO MANY CUTE CHICKS. NO FAT CHICKS.
Only negative is that by in large they dont believe in working out or exercise. And they will be friendly but up to a point. Anyway...

LOGISTICS

You dont necessarily have to pay for a love hotel, and it might be tricky to find one anyway on a saturday or friday.

Solutions:

'DVD cafes'
They are all over the place, conveniently near stations and red light districts. Some of them are for XXX viewing, but for the most part they are really G-rated.
Its a step up from banging on the street, and everyone knows this. Some of them have tiny private 'rooms' to 'relax' and even pay shower facilities.Some of them offer free drinks and such. Really classy and they arent more than $20 for a semi private... a private on a saturday might costa ya more, but it is what it is. Book in advance though. Maybe go there early and if you miss the train well, fuck it, at least you have a place to stay.
Ive stayed in several and they are always chicks staying in those places. So there is no real bad stigma or something like that . . .there is always the excuse to 'check out some manga' or shit like that. use your imagination.

Karaoke
Everyone knows that its usually an excuse to get closer and makeout with a little luck get a room with private washroom on the off peak hours. Wont be that expensive and although they say they have cameras on all rooms, I doubt they have the personnel to man them at all times. Plus the thrill of getting caught might tickle your jollies.

Gaijin house
Maybe spring for a cheaper (closet size) place for the weekends?

Izakayas
Some of the places near Umeda and Shinsaibashi have private rooms. Ive heard of people getting handjobs or full on 'course' (as they call it here). Worth the try and at least you got a bite to eat.
There is a chain of seafood restaurants (logo is bright blue, red and white I cant read) that has several locations, a few of them have those private rooms.

PICKUP

Might have been just me but last weekend I went to Giraff in Osaka, and had at least 3 chicks come up to me... Im not really pursuing anything, so they were more of a 'catch and release' for me. Went custom suited (TM G manifesto) so that might have helped. Talent was ok, but the girls seemed more the 'office lady on a night out' than 'skanks skankying'. The chicks that approached me were the giggly demure and covered type, but we all know what freaks those can turn to.
The shot girls are smoking hot, good god. No surprises there.
Warning: a sausagefest, and you will get physically cockblocked by dudes, subtly pushed around, and the few foreigners there dress like slobs and act like children.
I shoulda gotten emails or numbers, but the LTR might not be too pleased with that development...


Butterfly in Kyoto this weekend had similar results. Though I had a fat chick hilariously ask me to buy her and her (cutesy) friend drinks. I LOL'd in her face and she got the hint.
Talent there varies and it was a sausagefest, but if you have dancefloor game you could do well.
A few foreigners there, so that might help you. Except for the jackass 'santa', what a douche. Place closes early, 0100.

MONEY:
PM me, I have a gig for someone with decent Japanese. Need translator in occasion, its the kind of gig a good hustler would appreciate. Nothing illegal.

SUM:
I think Osaka is crackable. I dont know if SDL are possible, but since you speak the language you can probably get away with being pushier... may the odds be in your favour.

Post: #368

Not easy everywhere, but from what I have read from people that have been in Tokyo, and more specifically, the famous Roppongi, yes indeed.
And the 'burako' thing is also well known. Japan is not exactly small too. With the amount of undersexed women there I am surprised how it is not easier than it actually is. I suppose they're obsessing over hello kitty or something.

Word of advice: actually go to a country before you start making statements about how "easy/difficult" it is. Everyone outside Japan "has read" about how easy it's supposed to be here, just like people have "read" how everyone in the US owns a gun and getting an AK-47 for your 16th birthday is normal for Americans. I as well as other members based here and guys I've met in Japan will all agree no one is going to throw themselves at you just because you're white or black.

...and it's called burakku ブラック ("burako" is meaningless in Japanese), and no, I've yet to hear anyone use that term here.

Again, if you haven't been to a country, it's best not to go around telling other people who have already spent 2/3 of a year here how it is based on what you've read on the internet.

I hear you. Especially in Kyoto. That city grows on me with every visit.

Another reason why I'm not going for LTRs at the moment. Last time was with a Japanese girl before coming here...always that feeling of being on a leash.

This is a good idea. I should try it in the future.

I've only been to Giraffe once, and it was on a Wednesday, I think. I was usually turned off by it due to its compliance with the no-dancing past 1:30 law. Perhaps I should give it another try.

If you doing day game, take into account that many girls you encounter are still living with their parents and have certain rules in their houses (curfew etc), this may seem strange to westerners but Japanese girls and Asians in general don't leave their house until they got married.

I like to approach in Nampa-ish areas (not that many where I live, I don't remember the last time I saw guys approach girls) and tell them I want to do all kind of things to them until they can't stand on their legs, but that just me, I fucking love Japanese shimoneta (dirty jokes)

Open secret of Tokyo:

Black guys (except Nigerians) are absolutely cleaning up here. In a ridiculous way. I think the fact that they are still relatively rare in Japan helps.

Yes he is jacked. Really? You haven't heard that? It's been said here before about being "too big for Asia" and pretty much every Japanese girl will tell you "I don't like macho guys". Exact same girls will go bang this guy. Perfect example of why you should never listen to what girls say.

There are other foreign guys here who make this a lifestyle. You begin to notice them if you go out gaming yourself.

I think maybe 1-2 hours per day. He refers to it as his " aerobic exercise" due to all the walking around which makes me laugh but it's a clever way to motivate yourself I guess.

Quality is legit. I have seen him out on dates with 8s and above. Dated a few schoolgirls even.

Would be nice if you could tell us what race he is.

If he is not white, that would explain things a lot more clearly.

Dare I say it, I don't think Japan is the place for *most* white men anymore. China and South Korea are way better and easier. At least, from my short experience in China and personally seeing the level of white worship there. Your niche market is wayyy greater.
