A friend in Japan just brought this up to me. I'm so glad I have other people to share stuff like this with! He was the only foreigner at the party and all the girls liked him. But, the Japanese guys all cockblocked him. How? All they did was call him かっこいい!
Seriously, who in the world outside of the Japanese-speaking expat player population in Japan would understand that to get a girl to NOT like a guy you have be the first one to say how handsome he is and keep saying it? Unheard of! The more you say it the more the girl is uninterested in talking to you and the cooler the guy who says it looks!
But I also did it back to them! I didn't do it to the guys who did it to me though because after you get a かっこいいな~! thrown at you you're pretty much done and no girl within earshot will talk to you. But! When I saw a guy that might be a potential problem around a girl I'm already hitting on I learned to simply throw out the おおお~!かっこいいな! and then his game was shut the hell dowwwwn! Learn the game, play, and win!

Thanks for this one :] As I am to write a comment, I'll tell you you've got great writing skills: I read almost the whole blog tonight without feeling bored. And eventhough it's not really pick-up technics, it was really pleasant to read.
From a french reader still blissed in ingnorance and astonished by the beauty level of Japan.
