Cool, decent looking, normal guy. Good for him. But you have to take a notice, they're both Japanese, it's a whole different game. Unless girl gives you a look, 99% of the time, if you approach her out of the blue she'll get scared and move away. I went to Osaka Castle Park today and while sitting on the bench I got that look THREE times, from a very cute girl. She clearly wanted me to engage. It's always a weird feeling, it gives you confidence boost, but sucks cause you have to disappoint both parties.:/ If I was single, I would proceed.

The look when girl checks you out, but tries so hard to not make it obvious. But you catch that one second eye-contact and immediately know what's up. Then she'll repeat it a few times in hopes of you taking action. Applies mainly to Asian girls.

Jap chicks fly to SEA and bang the guys there, because they're looking for high test, low inhibition, and low IQ males to have nice fling with.

They're not looking for an effeminate man like OP.

Japan's cities are GOAT right? All the lights, the big buildings, the trains, everything, hnnnggggggggggg, even the girls. How well dressed did you see the girls there, and how many hbbs did you see everyday walking on the street?

Also I was never ignored when asking for directions srs. I'm not that dark skinned either, so we might be similar in skin colour, but I doubt that has anything to do why they ignored you.

I've heard that they are racist towards everyone not Japanese, but they don't show it out the outside in public, especially when they are working. I never experienced overt racism or any passive aggressive behaviour.

How did you ask for directions, who did you ask and where did you ask? Also did you ask in english?

People were friendly everywhere I went, in all of the main cities Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, etc

Women are horny as **** on holiday, especially if they're alone or with promiscuous women.

Sun, sea, drink, peers being thousands of miles away, it's no wonder they seek to have their pussies filled. And if they're alone, no-one is there to know about it so it's a secret fantasy. The other promiscuous women simply encourage/enable it.

If they don't have some random "romance" and sex by the sea they'll feel like they didn't have the full holiday experience. You know, like most men if they go to a place renowned for getting laid (e.g Thailand) but return with a still undrained set of balls.

dafuq, how do they get laid
Tokyo is amazing, the city the culture everything, I was really impressed. The city is so advanced and clean as fuk which is amazing for a city of 14 million people and this is coming from someone who lives in *****. The chicks are hot and ye they dress really welll.
Tokyo is definitely first world as fuk and puts most cities in western europe and america to shame. Also loved they're toilets, so many buttons and all on the pot, there was a commode in my hotel that washes ur arsehole you code adjust
the spray pressure and everything lol. Wanted to buy one to take with me back home

i found most people friendly too but a couple of people behaved that way too me, i just saw random passers by and tried to ask directions in english and some of them straight up
ignored me as walked passed, ye i've heard they're racist to all outsiders as well and they call us gaijins or something. No i'm a lot lighter than your avi photo in fact lighter than many whites lol.
I look like a middle easterner so i was wondering if that was the reason and they hate arabs in general? My mom and sis never experienced this and they look look indian. So maybe they were scared or soemthing coz they thought i look like a terrorirst lol?

Yeah, Tokyo just puts every other city in the world to shame

Why people in Japan ignore you depends on a few things:
-Maybe you were in an area where there are lots of touts, like Nigerians in Kabukicho, so they thought you were one and they just ignored you
-Perhaps you do look middle easterner, that might be part of the reason
-You approached them with english and not many of them know how to speak english because they are too shy or unsure to help you (in English). I'm sure 99% of them study English for about 6 years in school, but its all memorisation and no speaking skills, so they aren't good at it.

I knew a few lines in Japanese, such as asking where to go, so I believed that helped me, and about 99% of people I asked for help actually tried to help me. Though they mostly responded in Japanese and I wouldn't understand 90% of what they are saying, except for some words of direction and their body language

It was mostly in ikebukuro where there are hardly any blacks so that's the problem (I know roppongi is filled with tons of Nigerians) I guess it was because I spoke in English and they're too beta and shy to respond or it coz I look arab lol, Anyway apart from these few bad experiences I had an awesome time in tokyo hopefully I'll go there againthanks for your feedback

Skin tone is the least of your problems. Im dark and pull anything walking but it depends on the day. I am very emotionally driven and days I want to be left alone or sad, It shows on my face. Everyone is reading you like a book.
Neither you nor your fat uncle get laid.

idk why anyone would want to go to Ikebukuro. When I went there to visit some shops, I saw hardly any foreigners srs. I saw maybe only 2 in the 2 hours I was there, near the station. It was the most alienating experience ever, even going to the Mcdonalds there near the station

Most of the tourists I've seen were in Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya

The reason why I was in ikebukuro was because my hotel was there... I did go to shibuya , shinjuku , asakusa etc but I also loved ikebukuro as well.

I'm an average looking manlet ethnic brah just like you OP. Once I stopped taking rejections personally it wasn't so bad. And I also have an average job, I go out on the odd occasion and I'm shorter than you. Good luck OP.

That I wasn't aware of. Anyway going by his posts he needs to stop over thinking every single minute detail and just approach a girl he likes. If she's interested she'll engage with him; if not, move on to the next one. And he can't expect to hook up with a hbb right off the bat, he's gotta start from the bottom and slowly work his way up.

Your English seems pretty good. Just be confident and speak English(not like you have a choice anyway). I mean if you're an introvert who talks to nobody you'd be in the same situation in any country. Hit up the nightlife on the weekends, make some friends and talk to girls naturally. Like you said, Japan especially does not go for the cold approach mentality. Just lol @ any foreigners who think that's the game to play there.

I have a friend who lived in Japan but he is white. He had at least 3 different gfs at any given time and when he went to clubs women would always try to pick him up. He spoke Japanese nearly fluently too though so that helps a lot.
