So first off, I'm in Japan, so I'm going to X-Post this to TokyoSeddit. Also along that line, things might be slightly different here than in America in terms of cultural things... girls are more shy about kissing in public here, for example. Oh, and there's a language barrier at times.

This guy I met a couple months ago started his own biotech company that's doing well, and he lives and works in America (though occasionally has long periods off). He comes to Japan pretty frequently, and he just tears it up over here; he's a natural. In America (not that I've seen it), he has all of the hot spots ready to go, and lots of things at his disposal. Social circle, logistics, etc. Dude isn't afraid to say anything in front of anyone, and really, he's just a crazy dude -- everything he says is a sexual joke, and he has the kino to back it up. For example, he hears the word "come" and makes a stupid joke about it and laughs while he tickles some girl.

I thought all of this cocky funniness would just make him look stupid to some degree, but it looks like he has a lot of success. To me, the jokes are really stupid. I guess I don't like them cause they don't feel witty, and they're not really funny to me. I haven't really seen him get a lot of girls in person (haven't hung out with him much), but his stories about girls he's gotten are pretty crazy, and they're true, I'm sure.

Maybe it's that he's totally outcome independent (most of the time), and embraces his foreigner status (doesn't speak any Japanese). Despite that though, even if I'm outcome independent, I don't think the girls are as excited by me; with him around, he can easily pull attention from girls who I might be talking to if he wants to. The only difference is if I've already built up enough rapport with them that they'd prefer me over his antics.

In terms of being out in the field (the few times we did go out together), I guess I've had a little more success than he has in terms of just k-closes (big deal right), but I definitely think he f-closes girls much hotter than the ones I get. The crazy ones too, but it makes sense -- act crazy, get crazy. Maybe I just need to try acting more crazy and daring? Here in Japan, I feel like visible kino hurts my chances if it's in front of a girl's friends. I mean, I guess I'd need to win the group over first, which hasn't seemed to be much of a problem, or somehow isolate, which seems fuggin hard... or just #-close fast and day 2 leaving the girl with the crazy image of me in her mind. This way, when we hang out, she knows what to expect, and escalation should be easy from there?

As for what I'm good at... I can make groups laugh, and can hook some girls. My kino makes my intentions clear, but it's slower than this dude's. I've had fairly good success in Japan... just wondering what I can learn from this guy, and how important it is to be cocky funny like he is. Since I don't speak fluent Japanese by any stretch, maybe cocky funny foreigner is the best way to go for the H-est of Bs? What do you guys think?
