i had made a 20 minute long video, but (maybe for the better) it refuses to upload, so time for a text post
as i've said previously, i started nampa coaching this past week. we did a fashion overhaul (~$500 for 3 shirts, 2 jeans, shoes, and some accessories).
i've also gotten hair straightening (~$200) and laser hair removal on my face (~$600 for 6 sessions over the next 9 months) in may
after a quick photoshoot from my coach and 1 billion filters, here is the result of that:

note that i'm only posting these photos on kyil because you have to be logged in to view pics here. i was scolded by my coaching group for posting even a bottom half fashion pic on twitter bc it would potentially reveal the group's identity. so if u want to show someone this for whatever reason, pls keep it within kyil members only and just send the kyil post. ok thanks bye

i've gotten ~25 matches from roughly ~200 swipes so far and it was my first day. also i didn't boost or anything and still don't know all the ins and outs.
here is the dating app: https://tapple.me/
i've seen it advertised everywhere here and my coach told me to use it (tinder has a reputation for being the "foreigner dating app" and filled with bots)
tapple is only in japan. and you need to verify yourself with a japanese ID. so you literally cannot use it unless you actually live in japan. so basically tourists are banned.
jackpot!
ok colgate. why the fuck were you not busting your balls with this shit months ago? you are FUCKING RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you could have been fucking killing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to answer that, we need to dive back a bit deper
the blackpill cure
as you guys might know, i struggled quite a bit mentally over the past winter, to the point where i didn't even want to use this log and
started a different log
back in october, some KYIL peers and i decided to test out our dating profiles in asia before actually moving there. Manganiello and lacroix set their bumble profiles to korea, while Mimbe393939 and i set ours to japan
Manganiello and lacroix got INSANE results. they were getting 100 and 30 matches a day, respectively!!!
meanwhile my brown ass was getting 2
a week. i don't remember Mimbe doing too great either (though he did better than i was doing).
i was pissed. i spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on fashion and photoshoots, in addition to slamming the weights in the gym for the better part of the year, and i was still getting jack shit?
(though ironically this was the impetus that finally pushed me to book a flight to japan. SAYONARA BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
but i had arrived in japan with the mindset that "white guys just have it easy, i don't get any advantages for being a foreigner despite being american, whine whine complain". no longer did i read lay reports from other guys with joy and inspiration like i once did. any time i saw a white guy with a hot japanese chick i coped and seethed. there were a couple times i stared some of them down with a grimace of disgust.
it didn't help that my housemate at the time was a total player, despite being some lanky ass mfer with stick arms. he was a white dude from europe. normally i would have jumped on the opportunity to hit the clubs every night he went out and i probably would have had some awesome experiences.
but no, i decided to mope in my room like a retard, despite moving to my teenage dream country
(hey it did help me with my workouts tho. i was going hard af in the gym lol. i went from 67 to 72kg from november to february)
the thing that initially got me out of this deep down was MakingAComeback's biohacking tips. after turning myself into a depressed emo fag from also staying up until the morning and being on the computer all day, his stuff really got me feeling good again and ready to actually take some action.
i think the best thing you can do even if you're absolutely blackpilled and full incel mode is
biohacking. even if you think it's completely fucking over for you, and you will never be able to have the dating life of your dreams, the least you can do is focus on your physical health. being in a state of hopelessness obviously leads neglecting your body. and there's no fucking way you'll be able to recover out of negative mindsets and being blackpilled if the
literal vehicle of your existence is broken.
so i am now convinced the #1 priority for hyper-blackpilled dudes is to biohack their way to the point of at least feeling physically good.
MakingAComeback obviously started far lower than i did and made his way as an established member in this community from his biohacking.
even before i joined the forums and was aware of the term "biohacking", in 2021 i had been focusing on health for about half a year. that resulted in me "organically" deciding i wanted to start getting into dating and ultimately finding KYIL. it happened again here in japan, once i started feeling healthy again from MAC's biohacking tips, i gained the desire to go to local social events and do things other than sit in my room all day seething.
if your body isn't healthy, you do not even have the
physical capability of resolving your blackpill situation (whether it's looks or mindset/attitude on women, anything). on the other hand, if you are healthy, you will just
want to start dating and being social again.
so if you're in a situation where you have a very negative attitude on dating and your action isn't helping you achieve results, i would strongly suggest spending 3-6 months doubling down on improving your physical health over anything else, and then come back to direct dating action (this would also help you build a habit of daily discipline, which is obviously also invaluable).
the asiapill
back to me getting "jack shit" on the apps in asia while my peers had more pussy than they knew what to do with.
i have realized now that i had two fundamental misunderstandings when it came to dating asian (and specifically japanese) girls:
1: THE KPOP IDOL FEMININE BOY IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE ARCHETYPE IN EAST ASIA
ARCHETYPES ARE IMPORTANT. guys who naturally fall into an archetype do not realize the importance of it until they meet other guys who did not naturally fit an archetype.
the androgynous, k-pop, feminine style is the MOST ATTRACTIVE ARCHETYPE here. at least as of 2023.

^ i swiped this pic from a JAPANESE PICKUP TWITTER account. i have no idea who this guy is nor do i have any interest in kpop
pickup guys in japan who look like this + approach like mad can get minimum 2 lays a week from just chilling, and if they push the limit and approach 5-7 hours every day, they can get 50-70 lays a MONTH. btw that's the coaching group i joined.
the degree to which this is true could not be demonstrated further than by simply looking at what points japanese pickup guys decide to invest their self-improvement in:
plastic.
surgery.
yes, for every rep in the gym, for every tub of chicken and rice, for every tattoo, for every beard hair growth application a western pickup guy does, a japanese pickup guy will do yet another procedure to adjust the smallest asymmetry in their face, they will add a little more makeup here in this little spot, add yet another filter to their dating and LINE profile picture.
and it works...!!!???
my coach said he has spent tens of thousands of dollars in plastic surgery and has written a whole $200 guide on what a guy might need to do. i went out to dinner with the group the other day and my coach was seething at some handsome high school boys for being naturally good looking, while he had to get a bunch of procedures to look the way he does now.
(side note: i personally do not have to do any plastic surgery because apparently i have a naturally attractive face.
ironically i might have to get some kind of botox or chill on the lifting because my jaw muscles have "overdeveloped" apparently. i'm holding off on this for now but it was a comment i received)
i don't think this has ever been made aware to western pickup communities, because the
second most attractive archetype is being white. furthermore, i think many foreigners who come to asia look down on japanese guys since they steal their girls (which is not entirely false lol). and this kind of feminine appearance is looked down upon by guys who have likely fucking busted their balls to become masculine.
the only reason i was able to have this awareness is because
1. i'm not white and brown people are kind of still a mysterious alien race here (people are surprised when they hear i'm american and that english is my native language)
2. i have been diving headfirst into the japanese side of pickup, rather than joining the foreigner pickup community here
FORTUNATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have a very young looking face!
holy shit...looking younger than my age is going to help me for the first time in my life!
i also have naturally very good and glowing skin, so i don't even need makeup. all i needed was laser hair removal on my face and hair straightening.
wow this was accidentally a geomaxx!!!
the moment i changed my LINE pic to these kpop-idol filter ones, i got messages from
three different japanese female friends i knew, and of course my 18yo classmate gf, saying how it's her type (but only the style!!! not me yet of course!!! because she's a tsundere!!!)
...
i'm going to give myself slack for this misunderstanding. this kind of knowledge is only the type of knowledge you could gain from actually living in a place for a while and trying to understand what's going on. admittedly i resisted it for 3-4 months because of my ego and wanting to be some FUCKIN JACKED BODYBUILDER! but i mean, you have to do what gets results lol. girls dont care about what you like at the end of the day.
(quick side note: i have actually seen incredibly jacked japanese dudes with a very specific type of tanned bimbo japanese girl archetype called "gyaru". so it's definitely not over for the jacked dudes, and if anything it's still attractive, but it's just far more polarizing. i would actually say being a gym bro is the
third most attractive archetype here, provided you're still generally neat and clean looking)
on the other hand, this next misunderstanding is FUCKING RETARDED. and i wallowed way too hard in being blackpilled instead of doing my research, and it honestly should not have happened
2: NOBODY FUCKING USES BUMBLE IN JAPAN!!!
yes.
when i talk about bumble to japanese nampa friends, they have never heard of it
Toast did get some success on bumble here. but it's literally the white guy app that probably only foreign fetisher girls know about. i remember running out of girls often while swiping on bumble.
so i basically developed an entire doomer depression mindset over results on a dating app nobody uses in the country i was targeting
^ the power of negativity. lmfao
and a side note about a key difference between korea and japan:
the english proficiency/giving a shit about% for japanese people is extremely low. i have approached maybe two girls out of ~300 who said they had any english proficiency. and very few of my japanese friends can speak english.
on the other hand, the english proficiency of korea is likely over 80%! especially if you go near university and high-class areas. furthermore, there was a time Toast and i approached a duo together. they were asian and i had approached in japanese, to which they retorted in a
perfect american accent:
"you guys know we speak english right?"
we vibed with them for a bit, and they had not only perfect english, but it had a tinge of california accent and slang use.
but they were 100% korean-born and raised, never been to america. what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i didn't hear a single note of korean accent. after relaying this to lacroix, it turns out that
this isn't even rare, and koreans are going hard with english, harder than anyone else in asia.
so if you are a white dude with an american accent, korea will be your playground. i might even consider checking it out myself for a gamecation.
i only elucidated on this tangent, because this helped me fully understand the bumble passport results and the disparity between mine and the korea dudes'. and it would make more sense that bumble is not only viable but excellent in korea.
anyway yes so im gonna hustle the apps blah blah etc haha ok bye
