No it's not really my scene, at least as far as dating goes. There just aren't a lot of avenues these days.
Maybe the best first step isn't to try and identify an avenue for meeting someone, but try to really narrow down the type of person you want to meet. The move from there.
For instance, hypothetically, you love travel! Not the typical I take a trip or two a year, but frequent, and exotic travel all over. You would like to meet someone who shares this passion. Then maybe the answer is to start traveling with a "singles group." I have a friend who travels constantly (as much as time allows), and does so with a group that does trips and excursions for singles. Now, she doesn't do it to meet guys, but she has met tons of people who share her love of travel through this.
The activity, interest, etc could be anything. Point is, if you have a couple definate passions, maybe trying to do them in singles groups would be a good, safe, and low pressure way to meet women for you who share the interest. If you start to develop a friendship with one of them, well, maybe some chemistry will be there too where the two of you explore more.
Just an idea anyway, which is sort of off topic in this thread.

No lol, but from watching old movies (not real life, I know) from the 50s and 60s it just seemed a lot easier to meet people from the OS. Might be idealised though. These days many girls would rather dance with their friends than some guy they met. Nothing wrong with that, but I just think night clubs are becoming worse and worse places to meet women. So much to see but a lot of it just seems out of reach.

Yep definitely passionate about travelling. My life pretty much revolves around it (well, I'd like it to at least!). I guess I could search the classifieds and various websites for travel buddies (I've actually used them in the past, but travelled with people from different countries). Also meeting people in backpackers, but again they're foreigners.
Japanese culture is not as gregarious and extroverted as American. Here we don't need to pay to go to a place where people will make conversation with us.
Unless, of course, your local bar has a cover charge.
We have TONS of these here (strong Asian influence state-wide).
Here we usually refer to them as Korean bars, and the mama-san is usually Korean, and the girls are of various Asian desent.
There so common I've been to 5 or 6 when "out with the boys" from work back in the day. They don't like women to show up because they figure we cut into their "business" of talking with the men... and if you are better looking than them the dirty looks are epic.
