How to pick up Japanese guys.

So, He's taking his sweet time getting more dirty words to me, so I thought I'd talk about how to pick up Japanese guys.
We all know that foreign guys go to Japan and it's like they're gods and they can get all the pussy they want and blahblahblah. But most women complain about the lack of eligible companionship. They feel that because Japanese men never approach them, they are not interested. Why is this?
Here's the deal. (Sweeping cultural generalizations ahead...)
Japanese men are shy and insecure. They've been fed the bogus line about how small their dicks are for ages. They assume that foreign women would never possibly be interested in a Japanese man and so they don't even try.
The truth is that foreign women in Japan can have the same god-like status as foreign men. You just have to work it a bit. Be a bit more forward. You don't have to do all that much. But you can't just sit there and avoid eye contact and expect guys to approach you. Just a tiny tiny bit of extroverted-ness and you'll never have to go home alone if you don't want to...
Before I met my husband I was like the Queen of Nanpa (scoring). I would be able to walk into a bar or club and choose the guy I wanted. And I always got him (even if just for a few hours. ;-) )
Try this:

1. Smile. You know that scene in Memoirs of a Geisha where she like checks out a guy, averts her eyes and he totally falls off the bicycle? Well, you have that same power. Seriously. Start catching guys' eyes and smiling. You will be surprised at how they completely stop what they are doing, drop whatever they are holding and otherwise make fools of themselves. It's powerful ladies. Damn powerful.
2. Approach them. You don't have to say anything profound or have a good pick up line or anything. Just say "Hi." It works. The guy starts thinking "Whoa. She's talking to me."
3. Try to speak Japanese. Many guys won't try to speak to you because they are worried that their English sucks. Or maybe they don't even speak any English at all. Speaking Japanese, even if you completely suck, will put him more at ease. If he sees that you are willing to try to speak Japanese, then he will be more willing to try to speak English. Chances are his English is much better than your Japanese. So even making a lot of mistakes with your Japanese is amusing and shows effort.
4. Buy Funny T-shirts from J-list. This was seriously my secret weapon. I had a "Looking for a Japanese Boyfriend" shirt and a "I Love Hentai" shirt as well. These were always big hits with the guys because it gave them an easy opener. They could just make a comment about my shirt.

The downside to these is that you won't necessarily get guys that are boyfriend material. Just like Japanese women are to foreign men...you are exotic to these guys. Some of them just wonder things like "Is it different to have sex with a foreign woman?" and dumb things like that.
But you can score all you want.
Another time I'll talk about how to get a boyfriend...
