Gyaku Nanpaya, new type of Japanese dating service

http://www.dazereader.com/24000561.htm Wai Wai reports on a new type of dating service in Japan.

Gyaku Nanpaya, establishments set up exclusively for women to come in and select men waiting for them in little booths, have started to flourish in Tokyo entertainment districts.

Male customers pay registration and room rental fees, fill out questionnaires, then wait in their rooms.

"Women take a look at a guy's profile and, if they like what they see, they go into a small room and meet him. Gyaku Nanpaya are most appealing because they let you actually see and talk to the women before deciding whether to do anything," a Gyaku Nanpaya regular tells Shukan Post. "Then, if there's a mutual liking displayed, you're both free to do whatever you like, so it's a lot safer than meeting up with somebody you first came in contact with online."
