Rashamon

What I saw:

In a hallway, Brad turned around a corner and accidently bumped into a cute Japanese girl. She blushed and said, "Gomen Nasai", then proceeded to check Brad out from head to toe. Brad, taken aback, quickly backed up. As he did so, I accidently kick the back of his leg and involentarily said, "'ai" as I momentarily looked down at Brad's leg. When I look up there's a hot chick looking into my eyes.
We think: damn, Japanese girls dig us.

What she saw:
Two guys came around the corner. The first one is a clumsy giant, and the second one bowed and said, "Yes" for some reason.
She thinks: Fucking foreigners.

So very, very true. The bottom line here is this: Nobody that is not Japanese will ever understand what is going on here, ever. Period.

But we can still rock our way through it like the cocks of the fucking walk.

It's not that complicated. If a Japanese girl looks you in the eye for any length of time, she is probably more scared of you than attracted to you. If she glances at you, then down, then giggles, and touches your arm, THEN you're in.

And Max, you have way too much time on your hands man.

Wait, eyecontact is bad? Does that include Japanese guys as well?

Shit.

Well, I'm intimidating enough, eyecontact or no.
