The above 2 lists indicate that Japanese men and women both consider “friends of a friend” as the most ideal candidates for their future life partner and they are less motivated to meet “strangers” through miai parties or introduction through marriage consultation agency. Though internet dating is unpopular among both gender, women are even more shy about internet dating than men, and they would rather go see a fortune teller than to register on a internet dating site. I wonder if the women are expecting the fortune teller to he a handsome eligible bachelor though LoL That would be funny wouldn’t it? “I can see… your future… and my future… are intertwined, let’s get married for 1000yen/10 min!”

Gyaku-nan: boy-hunting
Posted on: February 19, 2009
Gyaku-nan literappy means reversed nanpa. Since Nanpa is boys hitting on girls, the reversed situation, gyaku-nanpa (often shorted as gyaku-nan) refers to girls hitting on guys. It happens, but for obvious reasons, it is far less common than regular nanpa, but perhaps with a higher success rate than nanpa?
Just as nanpa, gyaku-nan tends to occur on busy streets and other lively public places. Young women stand at the edge of the street and watch passing men. When a man strikes a woman’s fancy, she typically starts a conversation wit him. Unlike nanpa, where the men invites women to a cafe or karaoke bar, Gyaku-nan does not necessary involve women inviting him for a date. The women just start a casual flirtation by starting a conversation.
