Bizarre World of Japanese Pickup Schools

LMAO - this is the most sought after dating coach for geeks in Japan - just a traveler


Satoshi Fujita's Pickup School for Men Who Can't Get Any promises to turn any awkward geek into a womanizing pro.

"Men who can't pick up girls all have some sort of trauma in their past," Fujita says. "My course work teaches them to overcome their trauma, gain confidence, and find sex and happiness with a beautiful female."

Now Satoshi Fujita is not a good-looking man. He has oily skin, beady eyes, short legs and a boy-band wig to cover his balding head. But that hasn't stopped him from becoming Japan's most sought-after dating coach for geeks.

The school is just one of many bizarre after-work coaching institutes in Japan. There are schools that specialize in everything from simple math problems to memory improvement. There are even schools for successful dating-by-text-message.

Nanpa, or the act of picking up women, is one of the newer but more popular categories of cram schools in the country. There are at least half a dozen nanpa schools in the Tokyo area alone.
