If you a straight, hardcase UK citizen who does not know what fratboy means I would reccomend not doing a google image search in front of your friends!

ya this is true,... douchebaggery is an international sport.

Crispy I would welcome better ideas for either, although clubbing does hit a ceiling pretty quickly in terms of quality.

i thought nanpa is daytime pickup?

What a douchey blog post that is.

Nanpa, by the way, refers to picking up girls in general, not just on the street randomly.  If you go to a bar and start flirting with girls, that's also nanpa.

Also, in Japan it's not really any easier to get chicks than anywhere else, contrary to popular belief.

This

Though I married a Japanese girl I met at a bar...but still, before that...very little success.

I went to gaspanic when I went to Tokyo for golden week and found it to be pretty average. I'm underage, so it's one of the few places in Roppongi I could get into. I hooked up with a few girls and got some phone numbers, but no 持ち帰り or anything; the men certainly far outnumbered the women. I also got into 'Jumanji' and had the same experience. I went to Shibuya on a Saturday night and tried street nanpa with zero success. The girls there are so aware of being hit on that they just shake you off without a second thought. Daytime nanpa, 'daygame', is certainly the way to go.

The first girl that I tried to pick up here I ended up dating, we were both standing out the front of a cutlery store and I just started chatting to her. I find that it's fairly easy to get numbers/ dates, but it's a lot harder to close (i.e. sleep with them).  It certainly doesn't help that I live 40 minutes from 梅田 in the middle of nowhere, which means taking them back to my place is impractical. Lately I've taken to flat out suggesting we go to a love hotel: 「２人だけでゆっくり出来る場所に行かない？」「どこ？」「ホテル。」

Anyway, I'd like to hear everyone's nanpa methods!

Different things work for different people but I've been around a lot of foreign men and most get fed up trying with Japanese women because they're not as easy they should be. Then I've been around those who can have a threesome within 2 hours of meeting some girls and I've even witnessed them go into a love hotel together.
The people that get fed up are the people that are usually desperate or frustrated and just want a girlfriend or to get laid. (I don't mean that in a bad way, nobody wants to be alone after all).
The "experts" usually have impeccable Japanese and sadly it's not the JLPT or J-Drama type you can learn that easily. Plus they've lived in Japan for at least three years.

So my advice, just be yourself. Of those people I know who are "normal" but lucky with the ladies, they're lucky because they're normal. They don't beg for sex in a non-verbal way and they don't bug the shit out of girls with emails. Japanese women tend to view foreigners as playboys, so simply prove them wrong, chill out and compliment their clothes (or something lol) instead of saying how hot they look. It'll get you a lot further in the long run than pretending to be interested and constantly emailing or calling to show them you're interested. As thecite said, when he tried hitting on girls they shake you off like it's nothing. When you're just randomly outside and talking they're happy to chat, he was probably being himself.

Just my opinion though, different people have different experiences because obviously not all women are the same. I think being yourself is the most important thing, whether she's Japanese or not.

As far as clubs, they all seem to be basically the same. Womb, Harlem, Camelot etc. You're better off finding a sushi joint or noodle bar late at night that's almost empty and getting to know the staff and one or two customers. You might just be surprised where it leads... I know I usually am.

Expand your horizons people

Picking up a western girl at a Japanese club is the easiest thing in the world. Hands down.

Amirite?

Kikitsune have girls ever been intimidated by you? they have by me.

I don't think so. There were times when I went out with packs of foreigners and that intimidated girls (and attracted some others) but I don't think I personally intimidated anyone.

I just think Japan has a whole different culture of nightclubbing and one night stands compared to the west. I went to Japan right after college in NYC and I used to go out all over the place in the city and randomly hook up for the night with girls (in this thread=players).... But I was never able to pull off a one night stand with a Japanese girl in Japan, not once.

I'm married now so it doesn't matter anymore but my advice to the young ones is to not get your hopes up for sleeping with a Japanese girl you meet at a club. Just get their number and call them in a few dates and see if they want to meet for dinner or drinks and you should be set.

That blogpost is certainly amusing at least:

"If she looks twenty-two, she's fifteen.
If she looks fifteen, she's twenty-eight.
If she looks twenty-eight, she's over forty. "

LOL

Naw, this is a Chris Rock joke.  Which anyone around my age from America already knows (thanks to the song "No Sex in the Champagne Room")

Yeah, if you're gonna try and get numbers from girls on the street then I think you have to do it very innocently. If it seems like nanpa then you'll likely scare them off.
