General Info - Nampa

[Cheap]

I've seen some advice on getting in shape in this forum, and thought I'd throw this out there. If any of you guys are looking to get in shape, I recommend Tim Ferris's book Four-Hour Body. I've gone from 23% bodyfat to 14, and quit my gym membership. I eat better now, and walking to the station every day is all the cardio I need. I don't need to waste time on a treadmill. I used to spend 10, 000 a month on gym fees, and another 1000 yen a month on the shoe locker rental. Ridiculous. Saving all that for mongering now.

The main points in a nutshell:

You can get trim by diet alone, without any exercise. Successful dieters eat the same things over and over. 6 days a week, eat beans (instead of carbs) , green vegetables (spinach, broccoli, cabbage, or my favorite, kimchi) , and protein (eggs or meat). Eat as much as you want, no need to count calories. 1 day a week (any 24-hour period) , eat whatever you want, as much as you want. It's simple, and it works. Make sure and eat plenty of beans or you will feel very hungry. Also make sure to eat something within 30 min of waking up in the morning. I get my beans (frozen edamame) from Big-A. It's 200 yen for 500 grams, and they are all ready to eat. I also get onsen tamago (soft-boiled eggs) and kimchi there. I'm not much of a cook, and convenience is important to me. My free day actually starts Friday night (and rolls through Saturday night). That way I can eat out with friends or family. The toughest thing about this diet is eating out, since nearly everything is going to have rice, noodles, or bread. You'll just have to be creative.

Make sure to get the diet down first, as that is most important (and the hardest thing to do). Then you can add the exercise component. Ferris recommends kettlebell swings. I was very skeptical about some exercise I had never heard of, using equipment that I'd never seen before, but it works the whole body. I exercise maybe 10-15 minutes a week at home and I can see the results. I bought a 20 kg kettlebell off Amazon for about 7000 yen, less than one month of my old gym membership. I can do about 60 swings continuously now, and that's all I do. 2 or 3 times a week.

Those are the main points. You can get his book or check out his website. www.fourhourbody.com (free) for more details.

For big shoes, you just have to check out this place in Gotanda ("Big Shoes for Big Men") , visible from the JR platform:

http://www.hikari-shoes.co.jp/zenglishB081002.htm

Here is a google maps link:

http://goo.gl/maps/oSTzd

(it's the shop at "A")

I'm a 27. 5, so can usually find anything I need in Japan, though sometimes also order from the US as well. If you do import shoes, watch out for the amazingly high import duty on genuine leather products.

Cheers

This is perfect! Thanks!

Possibly the striped shirts with the pinstriped suit isn't the way to go?

Maybe a solid color shirt? Have you tried a light pink shirt with a white collar and a navy tie? The tie could be navy and pink stripe too, just make sure the stripes are pretty wide to offset the pinstripes.

Jgirls love a pink shirt on a guy!

Just throwing out ideas!

(Edit: for shoes you can shop all kinds of places online, maybe overstock. Com or something like that? Sometimes you can find good deals on Allen Edmonds shoes, etc.)

Thanks BigManJapan.

I'll try it!

I've seen a lot of helpful posts about the importance of being nicely dressed and in particular, getting nice shoes. I've never been much into fashion, but the prospect of scoring a woman is good motivation. I am 39 and targeting women in their 30s. I wear tailored Hanabishi suits to work, dark blue and charcoal with pinstripes. I suspect the shirts I wear are not very fashionable. Most of them are white with stripes. I've always had a hard time getting shoes in Japan (size 30). If anyone has advice on where to buy shoes and shirts I would appreciate it.

You don't have to go to Tokyo, or even Japan, for successful nampa. I have been practicing the art here in Sydney Australia for around 30 years, ever since I got a job in the tourism industry that delivered an endless source of "victims". I've had several trips to Japan in that era as well, also with great success, of course.

Although I'm out of the game now and getting on a bit age wise, I still haven't lost my touch it seems. Last weekend I was on an assignment in Melbourne. On the Sunday morning I was down at the main railway station to catch an early train. Stopped off at a cafe to get a coffee, and sat down near to a cute asian chick. She smiled so started a conversation "where are you from?"."Japan" (she didn't look Japanese)."which part?"."Gifu, do you know it?"."öf course, I have been there a couple of times" (which I had, and could describe a couple of landmarks). A bit more digging into her being in Melbourne ("arrived last week, working holiday for 6 months") and her activities for the day ("meeting some friends"). As I had to leave to catch my train, I suggested meeting for a coffee later in the evening ("sorry, I will be busy") , so just gave her my meishi and invited her to contact me if she came to Sydney.

About 6 pm she rings me and asks if the coffee is still on offer. Of course, so off to meet her at the same place. I suggest she might like to try some Aussie beer, which she does, and after a couple she is happy to come back to my hotel for a while. Well, all night actually, most enjoyable. She left the next morning, and I had to fly back to Sydney, but with a promise to look me up if she comes here.

Just love J-girls

I too am quite sure you have more style than most of the suits. But then again nobody cares what me and you think, it is the chicks who decide.

I wear the most boring outfit you can imagine, black suit, white shirt, blue necktie, black socks and black shoes. And it works.

The last one told me "you looked like someone to whom money comes easily". And I do not splash my cash either, no fancy moves here.

The thing is that especially the 35+ crowd know this stuff: they will spot right on if your suit is a good one or from Aoki. It does not have to be handmade but a good quality brand name.

The good thing for me is that I wear the same stuff every day at work so I do not need to get the suit just for the girls. Though I probably would if needed.

Totally agree geezer! I used to dress in designer jeans and polos, etc. When I changed my style it became even easier to get the jchicks. I'd start with a decent black suit and a good pair of black dress shoes. For the love of god get ones that are pointed but not like elf shoes. Shoes that look like Beaver or platypus feet are OUT. A charcoal pinstripe suit with a solid color shirt and a nice tie complete the look. Cuff links, collar pin, tie bar and a pocket square that matches your shirt can make you stand above the rest of the black suits. It's cold now, why not sport a nice black felt fedora. Every time I wear mine the ladies love it. Dressing nicely will get you laid faster and easier.

Advice and experience much appreciated.

I dress down. Casual jeans and T-shirt / polo. A pretty grungy look. I am starting to think that in Japan that creates the wrong impression. Although I am happy to accommodate a 20+ JPN nurse / kindergarten teacher with a father complex, my target chick is 35+. They seem to focus on the suited types. I am pretty sure that I have more style and more moolah than most of these suits. I am just very low profile and never splash cash. I am considering splurging on a suit. My question. What color suit works for J-chicks? I get the impression corporate Japan is boring black / grey. But is that the color that works with J-chicks? Advice and experience much appreciated.

This place behind the Russian Embassy looks an interesting option.

This place seems to fit the bill. I got to say some of those rooms look genuinely frighting. Like something Dr. Lector would come up with.

Thanks for the input.

To Taipan68: How might I be able to contact this charming woman?

Thanks!

See the post by,"ToBeDetermined" for details on how to locate this woman. FYI, she's been e-mailing and calling me like crazy. I get about 8 e-mails a day from her. I say again, you bang her well and she'll be hooked. You have been warned (again).

[Cougar Cookie]

I second this request MM, I have been looking for an SM equipped LH as well. My girlfriend is very much into it. Not really looking for a dark dungeon per se but something equipped with some fun equipment for bondage etc. Please pass along any info you find.

Hi All,

I've got a new friend who enjoys being tied up, likes to wear handcuffs, etc. Not really my thing but I do have a passing interest. So far, all of the love hotels that I have visited have been pretty conventional. Pretty swank but pretty standard. I thought it would be fun to take to one of the "themed" love hotels that everyone seems to have heard about but few have actually been in one. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

MM

Well gents I've got good news, bad news, worse news, and potential good news (for someone). I met with the Chinese chica today for what I hoped to be our first session of language exchange for sex. The good news. All started out extremely well. As soon as we met she said,"Want to go to a cafe and practice English or back to my place?" Smiles for me! So, off to her place we go. Thirty seconds in the door I'm stripping naked and reaching for my condom. She looks at me funny and then essentially jumps on my dick. For twenty minutes this chica rode me like the Lone Ranger trying to get to the next town and save the sheriff. When I finally said let's switch she told me to bang her doggie style because she loved getting f*ed from behind. Also, she said she hoped I wasn't too disgusted but would I mind sticking my thumb in her azz as I banged her. More smiles!

Now comes the bad news. An hour later I'm zipping up ('because I got to get back to the office) so I inquire about her friends and whether they were looking for a similar "agreement". She says she doesn't want to ask her colleagues since she's afraid someone might eventually inform "management" that she's giving away the product for free. Then came the worse news. I asked why she looked at me strangely when I put on the condom. She said she really wants to have a baby no matter what. DANGER, DANGER, DANGER! Well that, ended the deal for me. Finally the potential good news. If anyone wants her, I'm happy to pass her along. Recipient beware.
