That's how I got mine.

It's the only possible way.

Spoiler

ok now i'm really out.

Nah, I got a few pounds on me. Getting back to it, though. I am lucky in that I have some pals/colleagues over there in some pretty interesting (aka sleazy) subcultures.

The advice I can give you, really, is to enjoy the culture, and not get hung up on what your race benefits you.

You'll enjoy Japan so much more. You'll enjoy some perks, obviously, but you'll also get access to some awesome aspects of Japanese culture you wouldn't usually get if you just try your best to learn the language and blend in.

The most valuable relationships I built in Japan were with counter-culture Japanese folk that liked me because I wanted to know more about THEIR Japan.

I am not going to explicitly talk about how much, uh, "carnal" success I had in Japan, but

If you're not white, you really don't have anything to worry about.

Maybe I just have no game. Which btw, is no secret to me.

I was more concerned with forging long standing relationships.

The truth crushed my soul, and so i must crush the souls of others with these truths to stave off the black hole he left in my heart. His beard isnt even real ;/

FUCK THIS SHIT!

Okay, you're hurting me.

Tell me you are lying.

He must look so boring without it.

 

[Hawkian]

That spoiler might be the most depressing thing I've read in this thread.

Teh Hamburglar's brother?

Never seen him...

His beard isnt even real ;/

Are you

WHAT.

Not the only way...

Can't say I recommend my strategy though.

 

[freenudemacusers]

wut

we fight to the death there can be only one.

WAT

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Every tag I've had has been the result of me saying something either stupid or hilarious in a thread.

I got mine when I changed my avatar.

Kinda disappointing actually, as I've done/said tag-worthy stuff before >_>

In my experience, honestly, tall white guys have the most success in Japan.

 

[thoughthorizon]

Okay, I'm in... clearly I'm not as interesting as most people here.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I got my tag from a Shadow Complex thread where I kept making the argument that just because I was boycotting something doesn't mean everyone should.

 

[ZeroRay]

Stop it Nintendoll, my entire life is an illusion at this point.

So you don't have to worry about not getting laid? My reading comprehension is down right now.

Things I've Learned From This Thread: I should go to Japan

If Nintendoll is telling the truth, you just got knocked up a slot.

Am I the only one here that's not surprised at this?

Uh
Yeah

 

[CountAntonius]

What about tall Hispanic pale guys.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Things I've learned from this thread: being white sucks

There have been times in my life (most of them) where I wished I was white just because I would fit in better.

 

[Puddles]

Korea is very similar when it comes to westerners being popular with ladies.

 

[Professor Beef]

I got my tag by having 300 posts and being here for more than 3 months.

What about Greek guys with fake moustaches

So he's a 5'6 jewish dude with a Brooklyn accent who lives on a houseboat in Marina Del Rey? Awesome.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

So you don't have to worry about not getting laid?

Back then, no. As long as you're not a creep and are earnestly trying to connect with someone on an emotional level, women in Japan respond shockingly well to that.

I think it probably helped that I was (and am) really shy, so there was some bonding over stammering over my words.

 

[Stet]

So he's a 5'6 jewish dude with a Brooklyn accent who lives on a houseboat in Marina Del Rey? Awesome.

That sounds pretty interesting.

 

[ZeroRay]

One day I'll get a tag. One day.

So he's a 5'6 jewish dude with a Brooklyn accent who lives on a houseboat in Marina Del Rey? Awesome.

I don't know, now he's sounding more interesting to me.

 

[CountAntonius]

=(

It would be cooler if he lived in a van down by the river...

 

[Red]

I don't know, now he's sounding more interesting to me.

Yeah I can't really complain about the houseboat.

 

[Emitan]

There have been times in my life (most of them) where I wished I was white just because I would fit in better.

I was joking. Especially with all the post 9/11 stuff I know how lucky I am to be white and only part of an invisible minority.

Thanks for the tips, although I'm not so worried about all that race stuff or even hooking up, really.

I am starting my first Japanese class this semester. Hopefully, I won't sound completely clueless or be too much of a burden on my pals.

My team is aiming to show a film at the Yubari Film Festival and we are exploring shooting a feature over there as a co-production with some of our local colleagues.

no, with the beard and shit.
Well, he is Spanish and rides a Harley.

As a tall white guy who moved to Japan with his girlfriend, I can confirm that many an opportunity was wasted.

 

[Hawkian]

YES

 

[echoshifting]

Son of a bitch, now the beard looks fake. Can't unseeeeee....

 

[Zomba13]

I got my tag by having 300 posts and being here for more than 3 months.

Same.

 

[H.Protagonist]

Watch out, though. I taught a lot of adult English classes on the side and there were attractive Japanese women 25-35 that were in there SOLELY to learn English to get a foreign man and have a hafu-baby. I shit you not.

 

[friskykillface]

Damn , I've had brownies the past few nights with milk and it hit the spot. So good

Ran out tonight

EviLore made me show him my member to get this tag

 

[CountAntonius]

Time for that vasectomy.

Hey, now. You guys are lucky. My tag will never change... ;_; (I'm not even marketing!)

yes you are. tags never lie.

 

[H.Protagonist]

[Red]

I got my tag for telling a story about a guy pointing his penis at me and telling me to have a good day.

 

[ZeroRay]

Back then, no. As long as you're not a creep and are earnestly trying to connect with someone on an emotional level, women in Japan respond shockingly well to that.

I think it probably helped that I was (and am) really shy, so there was some bonding over stammering over my words.

I see, so essentially it sounds not that different as to over here. As for fitting in, I wished I was black a lot of the time back in elementary/middle school as they took up the majority where I went.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I think knowing the beard is fake has legitimately ruined my day.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Waaaaaaah.


Anyone remember my short-lived former tag?

You're not alone brother
