It was probably the momentum from a lazy winter, but for the initial couple of weeks of springtime, I was truly slacking on my fashion and grooming. I figured that I was doing things 80 % right, which must be good enough for my goals. I was getting laid and I still looked much better compared to most other dudes, so I figured I would be alright.
From a quantity standpoint, my performance was typical. But from a quality standpoint, I was pulling a below what i was accustomed to. The quantity of effort I needed to place in was also more than average. Not extremely, mind you, but yet noticeably so. Recently, I renewed my efforts to look fresh each time I hit the streets and the improvement in my game has been equally recognizable. I've been getting even more eye contact from hotter chicks and they were more responsive when I approached.
To reiterate, the improvements in my game were not huge, but they were prominent. I assumed it was just one more application of the "be attractive; don't be unattractive" proverb. However, a peculiar concept struck me one day as I was doing some bird watching with a couple of friends.
We were talking about the best ways to distinguish the freaks from the prudes based upon look. Large bracelets and earrings means she's frisky. A t-shirt underneath a camisole means never mind. A deep tan means a easy 'tang. Floppy hat and long sleeves equals pass. Weird fashion plus no make-up indicates Chinese, which equates to garlic breath and a firm no thank you.
One member of our group that day was a Unite States Air Force officer and Japan newbie whose only input into the discussion was, "Damn, anything in a short skirt looks like slam piece to me." Our level of detail was clearly lost on him.
Our newbie friend's inability to see what we were seeing made me realize that Japanese women likely have a similar sorting system for Japanese men and a similar lack of a sorting system for foreign men. It is a natural result of being surrounded by and interacting with Japanese men for the entirety of their formative years. By the time they graduate and enter the workforce/adult dating market, this sorting skill is so well practiced as to be sub conscious and automatic.
It bears repeating that the ability to sort Japanese men according to their desirability is not an active process. It occurs on the subconscious level, much like a flinch. Soccer players, after practicing for years on end, no longer have to actively think about the process of dribbling; it just happens as they move.
This means if you resemble an East Asian, you need to look good or you run the risk of running into denial. Various other foreigners will certainly have a bit even more leeway to work their game given that an overseas face will initially delay Japanese females' automated filters. But, speaking from personal observation, the magnitude of this effect is minimal for most. Foreigners are require to look excellent to obtain Japanese women as well. Evident schlubs are turned down outright regardless of their skin tone and the white dude in the club with running shoes and cargo pants is still going the home with his hand.
Bear in mind is that this sorting process can work to the Asian man's advantage. If he lands on the favorable side of it, he can have a great deal of success with less hassle and with even more girls compared to his western counterpart. If he doesn't, he's in for some harsh times ahead.
In a nutshell, if you're an Asian bachelor looking for a good time in Tokyo, you'd best come correct.
