I sometimes surf the web for Nanpa (軟派) videos on Youtube.
Nanpa is Japanese for when guys (japanese or sometimes foreigners) go out specifically to try and pickup girls. As such Nanpa can be considered an artform! The word originally caried the meaning of a ‘womanly’ man because of the guys spending to much time with women, from a samurai viewpoint that is!
The goal is of course to get the girls number, coffee date or the best: To go with the guy to one of Asias famous love hotels!
Nanpa can take place everywhere but it is commonly practiced on the street in busy districts such as Shibuya in Tokyo. The tactics vary but I think most girls would consider them aggressive – sort of a blitz attack.
In Japan Nanpa videos, including eventual sex, are very popular. I have tried finding them online but so far not much luck.
Sometimes the guys are really good and get number or dates fast. Other times the guys are not so succesfull, but funny anyway, check out these funny videos (Two Nanpa, two fun):
These guys could probably use some more practise (we all can!). But good attitude!
Here is a very funny video from a female perspective on the difference in how white, black, latin and asian guys try to pick up women, very funny!
What do you think about this one named “Why Asian Girls Go For White Guys?”, offending?

the last video why Asian Girls go for white guys is a satire made by male Asian students. Although it’s satire, its very funny. I hope you understand what satire is Mr. Know it all about dating Asian women

Yes my friend, I realise this, I thought it was funny, that was why it was included. But it seems like the white-guy/asian-girl issue is a lot bigger in Asian communities, I never hear any of my friends talk about asian-guy/white-girl couples.
