Yeah, it was cold approach. He said he'd do it on the streets and not in stores cause it's too quiet indoors and girls would be more likely to clam up. Just start a conversation, but quickly get to flirting. He didn't do direct openers unless he felt the girl's body language was really open from the moment he walked up. He was average skin tone like me (see avi). He sent me a video of that girl in particular calling him "black" and herself "white," so even though she was aware that he was darker, she was still dtf. Point is, it matters but he made it not matter.

Brah I lived in Japan and been everywhere. What you stated is definitely a very small minority.

Yeah I'll definitely try to approach here. Wouldn't want to go back to Australia and then miss out on the possibility of getting a cute Japanese gf

You need to check out David Bond's youtube channel. Most of his stuff is about picking up girls in Japan. He's not tall and is more tanned than white and tbh is a pretty ugly mofo but still does OK. Has also written guides and video programs on how to pickup in Japan.

So he just approached a random girl on the street? How did he know the girl was interested? And how did the girl not get pressured with so many people walking around? And what sort of openers did he use and what language?

Of course you can cold approach Japanese girls brah. The usual opening liner is "Hi, would you like to have tea with me?"

English and he went indirect. He doesn't speak Japanese. All your other questions are just garbage. Stop overthinking things that you can't control.

Edit: Don't watch Bond's channel. What works for him (a white guy) won't necessarily work for you. Plus he's a racist pos.

walking around doing jack **** and feeling FA is not going to achieve much

Thing is if you had to leave australia to find a gf, your odds of getting a cute one anywhere else in the world is not good. There are plenty of good looking asians in australia brah. The language barrier is just going to make it harder in a country where most people aren't fluent in english

You knew before going there that koreans/japs are known low-key racists against SE asians, so just lol at you making this thread asking for tips after you decided to test your luck

I just followed a few meters behind on my skateboard and skated around Shibuya while they were drinking+smashing. Might have videos of the approach lol. Easy peasy.

All you gotta do is try.
I've seen dark skin asians pull easy. If you're aesthetic these bishes don't care.

yeah but you're white, right?
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

Mirin. Did they approach with your parents next to you?

Also they are classier from what I have seen.

Language barrier is no problem. It takes more effort to overcome it. And I cant find any in Aus. Im not different or superior enough to be considered. Most are low-key racist but I dont care, surely there are some out that in the SE Asian niche

Real talk. I want to see you succeed. I have read many of your threads. Before you go on another holiday complete this back at home.

Read this first :
goodlookingloser.com/anxiety/program

Than start at week 1, listen to the audios and do the drills every day.

goodlookingloser.com/anxiety/program-index/approach-anxiety-program-week-1-1

Its sad that you are too pussy to approach women, especially women in a country you will never ever see again. But trust me bro, if you go through that approach anxiety course, you will have no trouble ever again cold approaching.

It's better late than never. If you actually go through and do the program, you'll be a different, more confident alpha man in the end. Good luck. It's free btw, just do the steps every day

EDIT: do the program and you be talking to more girls in one day that you have in your entire life brah. If you actually want to change, do it.
Lmao I dont have 4 months for this, only got a few days. And ive apprached before in Australia a few times

Why do SE Asians have so many hang ups about colour?

Not complaining, it makes dating in Thailand 100x easier because all the men are racist as fuk and want a white East Asian... leaving all the darker HBBs for me.

Brahs with knowledge of Japanese culture how do you determine the difference if a girl is just trying to be nice or is interested, when picking them up?

Where would you say is the easiest to pull?

I'd guess the Philippines even above Thailand.
