I am a Criminal in Japan
I have this interesting habit of walking around trying to pick up young girls. Not that it works that good, but it is fun to do. That is how I met my wife in the first place. I met her on West 4th Street subway station, in NYC. I just came over to her and […]

how much older were you than these girls in japan. I don’t blame the security who wants some old foriegn dude hitting on their teenagers. Its because of preverted creeps like you why people in the cities don’t make eye contact.

you had probably offered the girls money and they mistook your sexual proposition. that is usually the only way western men can get laid in asia is too offer money

Andy you are a freaking Troll. I do not need to offer money to tenage girls. I do not have a sick mind like you!
If I want to get laid I pick up a real woman or go to a whorehouse and fuck a real woman.
I am not into molesting children!

Haha, nice to see another Gaijin. I was beginning to feel lonely here.
Thanks for reading my blog, and I am looking forward to reading some of your stories about Japan.

Sorry, stumbled on your blog entry. Try not to take this the wrong way, but I hope you can read this and then think about your actions in Japan from a different view point.
From the way you describe yourself and your actions (married man trying to pick up women for sex)…. you give male foreigners in Japan a bad name, or rather men in general.
While it isn’t cool that the security guards were following you around, the fact is they had a tip from the girls (while false) that you were causing trouble. It is their job to figure out your intentions. What other way could they do that than observe you?
Why didn’t you explain to the guards that you were just there to hit on young women, and that they got mad when they would not get physical with you? We all know what would have happened if you did that… Nope, you decided to use your social clout to bully the workers and security. Sorry that is not honorable and seems like you were looking for an excuse to screw with people. So all I am seeing here is instigation and bulling, both on your part and somewhat on the part of mall security.
Sorry for the rough comment.

Scott, I see you missed the point that I was trying to make. Some Japanese people are prejudice against foreigners. It does not matter if I was trying to pick up girls or shop at the mall.
Sometimes I am sitting with my Japanese wife in a restaurant next to a Japanese woman and she will guard her bag closer to herself. Some Japanese think foreigners are criminals.
As far as using my clout - my friends to defuce a situation, that was and is smart on my part. That is what social networking is about.
Outing out the guards, why not. Maybe they will not pick on the next foreigner. Foreigners are not criminals.
As far as married man picking up young women, please get off the moral horse. Every culture does it. That is life and get use to it, if you have not already!
Have a nice day!

Yeah, they can be especially prejudice from our point of view, but my point was that our gaijin mentality had some affect on the outcome as well. Happened to me once when I though it was okay to ask for extra spoons for my friends who didn’t order food at a Japanese McDonalds (I got a little pushy, to make a long story short).
Sure in the USA, I could have easily gotten extra spoons (actually spoons here are usually just out for the taking)… but I didn’t understand the differences in culture at the time. In retrospect, after analyzing how I acted, I feel bad.

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy talking to the ladies. It’s just a fundamental difference in our personalities I guess. That being said, it was pointless that I commented and suggested that you improve your moral code.

Likewise.

Scott, nothing pointless, and I do understand the differences between the Asian and Western mentality. That is why there was no fight and no arrest.
I think you will enjoy reading this post.

well to a certain point IGOR you were responsible for that. I’m a man also and i can understand to a certain degree admiring some girls i see on the street or on malls but to actually approach every single one of them, take pictures of them and try to hit of them its no wonder you got rounded up by the mall security that means they are actually doing their job sure they might have exagerated by getting more than 2 guards to handle you. but still you deserved to be embarrassed. and i dont think that japanese’s society or fear is to blame for that i bet you would have gotten the same response in any american mall as well. hell you might even get your ass kicked for doing that in new york city. and yes a lot of japanese women do accuse many males of chikan (touching them indecently) on the subway, train or on public places where many ppl gather. but you have to understand that women are getting tired of that and want to gain more freedoms in a society that is still ruled by men. and this is even worse since you might be old enough to be their dad or even their grand father just imagine what disgust the high school girls felt being hit on by an old man twice their age? also remember that in japanese society you see many salarymen take advantage of young girls in the office, or young waitresses on restaurants and so on… add to that the fear they have for foreigners and well you know first hand what will happen…. hope you learned from your lesson and that your wife did not hear about this embarrassing incident. if you still feel the urge go to a bar in ginza and hot on some of the girls working there in a host club or something. you are part of the reason foreigners are still being feared by japanese ppl

First of all talking to girls and women in a democratic society is not a crime. Taking a picture with them is not a crime also, with their permission.
Secondly, these girls were young and I was not interested in them. They started talking to me because they wanted to practice their English. If you live in Japan, I am sure you came across such a situation. I did not ask them to take a piture, but they wanted me to take their picture. They got ungry because I would not take their picture the way they wanted to - with the V sign. I hate such picture.
The guards over reacted, because of their prejudice against Gaijin. I never had such a problem in Japan, living here for 18 years.
The girls were playing head games. Young people do that. The guards fell for their games. Tehn I embarrassed the guard in front of their boss.
If I would have done something wrong or bad, I would have had a problem, but I did not. One lesson, never be afraid, when you have not broken any laws. Stand up for your Human Rights.

Typical Yank … behave like a wanker and make all of us gaikokujin look bad … Why not piss off back to the US … the last thing we need here is pedophile yanks raping more Japanese school girls like the US military does.

Wow, Gates, talking Big! Is that your Beer talking? Are you gay or you like women?
Do you have a relationship with Japanese woman or do you masturbate in a handkerchief?
Go crawl back into the hole you came from!
