Good to hear from you Mike, I was impressed with your perspective on Japan,see my posts in the Columbia section for my thoughts on Jgirl / Gaijin marriage.
To be successful at Nampa you have to adopt a a different mindset to understand that the correct way for us to act in Japan is radicaly different to the way we were accustomed to act in the west, furthermore the basic things we understand from an early age about how to seduce women dont apply in Japan. For example anywhere in Europe Oz or North America it is taken for granted that you cant pick up a women who is walking along the street, you have to talk to her when she is stationary, in a bar , coffee shop or at least sitting downor standing still. I always thought and experianced this in the west and everyone I knew agreed, that it was more or less impossible to pick up a woman walking down the street.
But in Japan this doesnt apply, there is no secret to nampa, the secret is hard work and mental dicipline, ever read the book by sensei Oyama, founder of Kyokushin karate who when asked his secret of why he was such a strong fighter replied with one word...sweat!!! you have to sweat dude you have to walk a lot you have to try hard to play nampa, it is a full on sport. When I started nampa Id been in Japan a long time and Id seen japanese playing nampa. In every train station in Japan well not every but say Machida or Ikebukuro type stations you will see these teams of young jap dudes in suits and every single attractive woman they see without a man with her they follow and talk to to try to lure them into Japan's enormous sex industry, which always need new girls. These dudes never stop and lets face it, ifthey didntget any gals they wouldnt keep doing it would they?
So it isnt like the west, if you played nampa in Sydney or Toronto youd be arrested if you were lucky andif you were unlucky youd be beaten by irate boyfriends and/or feminazis.
I figured fuck it if these chinpira can do it Ill do so as well. You have to work hard dude, out every night playing nampa, when I started nampa I was a fat fuck of 85kg and when I left Japan I was 71kg. You just try to talk to any nice looking gal you see and if you areout every night walking around after work and every weekend thereare a lot of gals in Tokyo!!!!
Whatyou also need to keep in mind with Jgirls is that they have very little free time compared to gals in all other countries. No individual on the planet does as much work for long hours as a Jgirl in her 20s. Time is limited for her especially if she is married or boyfriend, so the result most Westerners who are used to a culture where you have a date with a gal for a few weekends before you fuck her, so the gaijin doesnt move quick enough and wastes 3 or 4 nights on a Jgirl he doesnt get anyway when the trickis to move in fast onfirst night, kiss her asap then proceed quickly, if she says no forget about her youll never get her anyway, move foward to the next Jgirl since there are so many. So many times at first when I lived in Japan I made that mistake wasting too many nights on one chick when so many. Shibuya and Shinjuku are my two favourite nampa areas, lots of shops lots of chances to talk to Jgirls, always talk alot about shopping, anywhere you go talk you will get a new chick every week if you try hard enough but you have to be always out.
Always pretend you havent been there long, dont say youve been there 5 years, they are not stupid, they know how many Jgirls the average gaijin would have fucked in 5 years.Be Kawaii and enthusiastic about how kawaii everything is. You need an iron will to face constant rejection but fuck when I went to Japan I was in my late 30s and no longer cared about rejection. Talk to chicks on the train anywhere you go, the secret of nampa is to always be out every day after work every weekend disciplined, dont leta chanceto talk to a pretty girl go by, youll never get that chance with THAT girl again.
