    Is Osaka better than Tokyo for nampa?

    I actually was under the impression that it was the opposite -- that Osaka girls were more xenophobic and less easy for a gaijin to nanpa. That could just be backwards thinking on my part since I spent most of my time in Tokyo and very little in Osaka. Lower cost of living is a financially...

    Using Hello Talk to. . .

    Suppose you could always try using the ruse of language practice / cultural exposure as an excuse for a meetup. I've known people that had some success with that before. Find an interesting event and casually invite under the guise of wanting a local to help you get the most out of it. Make it...

    Feel lonely in Tokyo. Wanna go with some Japanese girl.

    I think we need an IQ test for new member registrations.

    Passivity and Busy OLs: I can't gauge interest

    Sorry, maybe my post wasn't quite what I intended. Let me try again. Your problem is that despite being an attractive, successful foreigner that has integrated well into Japanese society - your dating prospects are poor and you're not sure why. The earlier point I was making is (1) that online...

    Passivity and Busy OLs: I can't gauge interest

    Can't tell if it's worse being married or being single, lol. I'm around your age but am married so I don't date anymore, at least not for "free" (nothing is ever free, you just pay in different ways). Let me drop some knowledge on you son. Females that use Tinder or basically any online dating...

    Game/nanpa for older gentlemen - one man's transformation

    Too bad marriage isn't like leasing a car. After 3-4 years you give that shit back to the dealer and get yourself into a younger, sexier model that doesn't have all the dents and scars and weird quirks developed over the years.

    How to have a successful Tinder date

    I find that many Japanese women like dudes that are pretentious douchebags that are used to getting their way. So just go into your date operating under the assumption that you're going to get some and, well... get some. Unless this chick has somewhere she absolutely needs to be later (doubtful...

    Nampa Inquiries

    I can think of several issues here. In the order that you wrote in your post: 1. You're not sure if you want to try 2. You're still holding your v-card 3. You don't drink 4. You're only in Tokyo for a short duration If you wanted to add an additional complication, I'd say lack of command of...

    How to close/escalate on dates?

    Well there's your problem. You don't need to ask deep questions or know their true intentions. The Japanese are a private people and they're probably feeding you BS when they answer anyways. If the ultimate goal here is to get them in bed, you need to focus on having a good time and getting...

    Non cold-call pick up methods?

    Tinder is hit or miss for actually scoring with a Japanese girl because many of them have the weird idea that it's for finding platonic friends (or so I hear...) but hey, even if that was the case you could potentially get some hangouts, maybe a friend or score if you're lucky.

    So you've been matched on Tinder? now what do you do? (looking for answers)

    Depending on what her hobby is, you could say that you find it interesting and suggest you go do something related to that hobby together. Or ask her what kind of food she likes. Then tell her you know a great place and that you'd really want to take her so she can experience it.

    Advantages of Wingman?

    I think it's a bit funny how pickups and all that have become sort of a soft science with the games and the wingmen and analyzing every last detail of an interaction. I have nothing against it but I'm always wondering doesn't anybody just fuck anymore? Maybe I'm old school but to me a wingman...

    How to keep trance mode / magic over several dates?

    Depends on how much time you have and how much money you want to spend. I've done things like ramen hopping at the ramen museum in Yokohama, VR arcades, visiting obscure cafes and weird restaurants, dining somewhere at Roppongi Hills followed by walking around and then get coffee. Those turned...

    Point me in the right direction please.

    There are some Japanese girls that like foreign dudes and have at least some broken English. But it really does help to know basic phrases in Japanese and understand a bit about the culture. So yes, there's a chance in my opinion but less than if you had some kind of Japanese ability

    Nampa baby steps questions

    Thanks for sharing your continuing journey (not sure what to call it). Improving your Japanese language skills is probably one of the most important things you can do if you want to up your chances. The perfect example of why it's important is when that girl gave you the opportunity to talk but...

    Nampa baby steps questions

    Yeah, I know it's hard to make snap decisions like that. I think you're right about the way western girls would react by comparison. I've found the same to be the case most of the time. As far as "trapping" the girl into a conversation, that's almost what you're wanting to do for a brief moment...

    Nampa baby steps questions

    I'm not an expert at all but have experimented a little just for the hell of it. I think on case #2 you screwed yourself a little by asking a yes or no question. If you're going to ask something, make it something that requires a more substantial answer and opens the door for follow on questions.

    Meeting Busty Beautiful White Women in Tokyo

    I have yet to meet a white woman in Japan that has all of the traits you mentioned all at the same time. Having said that, you could hang around bars and other places that foreigners frequent but in my experience, you're actually more likely to find a Japanese girl than a suitable white...
