"The Japan Cherry Boys Association now claims a nationwide membership of 260, all of who have the stated aim of losing their virginity as quickly as possible. But what are they doing about achieving their goal?"
A PickUp friend and once student of mine lives in Tokyo and sent me
this article from Japan. It seems too unimaginable to be true. But, then again, it is Japan.
Reading it, I almost spit milk out my nose when I read this bit:
"'First and foremost, we study. To make sure we have an anatomical background of women, we all draw pictures of female genitalia and critique them', Watanabe tells the women's weekly. 'We had one guy who just drew a straight line and said, 'I'm finished.' That's how little we all know. It's really pathetic.'"
My big question is how on earth a virgin man would ever think that hanging out with other virgins is going to help his pursuit? This article is a bizarre caricature of any kind of boy's club we'd have in America. But the honest truth is that the people we spend time with really do shape who we are and who we will become.
So, on a serious note, there is a real value in surrounding yourself with people who you learn from and admire. For a long time I've worked to create an environment that nurtures my success. I moved into
Project San Francisco to be completely immmersed in a positive environment. And if you're not doing this too... if you're still hanging with the other virgins. Get off the computer now and go make some cooler friends!
In fact, I can't help but think about the early days of the "PickUp Community". The stuff written about in the book
The Game. Blind leading the blind? Hopefully now as the study of dating and pickup becomes more mainstream, it will become more saturated with cool guys who actually understand and appreciate women. That's a club I'll happily join.
As for the Cherry Boys... bring 'em to me. I'll get those virgins laid once and for all, and the Cherry Boy club will disappear forever!
When I went to Australia last year, I met this really cute girl named Hitomi. We hit it off and when I returned to Australia a few months later, she hung out with me and the PickUp 101 crew while we enjoyed Melbourne. I even invited her to our 2 hour intro seminar, and what was really awesome is that she actually learned something from my seminar. It actually helped her build confidence! I thought that was pretty cool, so I asked her to write about her experience to share with all of you. Hopefully it gives you an example of a woman's perspective on meeting a guy. (English isn't her first language, so I really appreciate that she wrote so much). Enjoy!
