Ozgaijin > How long have you lived in Japan ?
I myself lived there, in Saitama, for 4 years in total. Pity I didn't enjoy the same joy / strike rate with Japanese women as you seem to have had. Mine was pathetic. Making a Japanese girlfriend within 6 months of arriving there, killed any chance of playing the field I might have had.
Speaking Japanese fluently didn't seem to make a difference, in my experience.
My own theory is that if you're the type of guy who has "the knack" for getting chicks to put out for you at home in your own country, you'll make the transition and achieve the same or more success in Japan. However, if you're the type of guy who suffered "big brother syndrome" at home, don't expect that going to Japan will suddenly rid you of that curse.
