A man who blogs pictures of himself staring poker-faced at the camera while couples make out in the background has gained some fame in the Japanese blogsphere.
The man and his blog, neither of which are identified on Hamusoku, have amused Japanese netizens on Hamusoku.com, and is rapidly gaining thousands of retweets. The original source of the photograph appears to be Wingmanning, an Instagram and Tumblr blog that has also trended on the English-language internet.
Regardless of the source of the photographs, Japanese netizens sympathize with this straight-faced perennial wingman.

The thing that concerns me is the person taking these photos. Some of them are taken in places that seem pretty crowded, so it doesn’t look like he used a self-timer.

Come on, this guy is a good-looking guy.
He must be able to get a girlfriend.
